MEDITATIONS
OF A WIFE
Mixed Peppers
BY Helen Rowland.

Mixed Peppers
M EN-, like cats, have no graft
AVA tude toward the woman who
makes life bed of ease for them;
but they have a wholesome re-
spect for the one who makes
them hop around and keeps them
anxiously guessing whether her
next move will be a reproof or a
pat on the head.
There are two times in 3 wom-
ans life when her husband ad.
nits that she is absolutely flaw
less; the day before he n1arries
her-and the day after he buries
her.
All the gossip you hear about
a popular woman may not make
good case against her--but 1t
makes awfully good conversation.
y =
Nothing hurts a man worse
than to be suspected by a wom-
an. when he knows he's in the
right-unless it is to be sus-
pected by her, when he knows
he's in the wrong.
X =
Man Is such a modest animal
that he feels half undressed with
out his watch, and almost in the

caught without his cravat. Yet
the moment he puts on a bathing
suit. Narcissus himself could not
be more naively charmed with
his own image!
The average girl shows such
Griselda-like patience in waiting
for q man to propose matrimony,
these days, that every man
fancies he is getting a wife who
will never run out of endurance.
He brought me rose!"
blushed Grandmamma. "She let
me kiss her hand!' boasted
Grandpapa. Quid pro quo! When
the modern young man begins
complaining about the high cost
of loving these days, let him not,
forget that the first rule of the
game is so much for so much"
Men don't propose marriage
any more; they merely SUGGEST
1T tentatively in a magnanimous
moment, with a 'take-it-or.leave
it, manner that makes you half
ashamed to take advantage of
them.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. C. A. L. Reed

VoUR character, as I have
4 often said, IL q bundle of
habits. the aggregate Of your
own personal habits. There are
habits of thought and habits Of
mental activity. A habit comes
from long repetition OF the same
thought or the same action.
They are the results Of our sur
roundings, called environment, on
ourselves.
Those people who are envied for
the excellent physical and mental
health they display will generally
be found to have established good
mental az we'll as good physical
habits. Just az good physical
habits and proper exercise are
essential for bodily we'll being, so
the proper exercise Of the mental
faculties is necessary for a
healthy mind.
Modern life sometimes requires
us to. concentrate on systematic
physical exercise in order to re-
tain our health, and similarly we
can add to our mental strength
and stability by systematically TO-
icusSing our attention on certain
factors of our mental makeup.
The world we live in Is full of
turmoil, distraction and over,exer.
ton of mind and body. with its
resulting fatigue. and so we often
find ourselves running in circles;
being worried. distraught and in.
effective, losing confidence in our
selves. and our judgment. We
should benefit by devoting five or
ten minutes each day to the under
standing of our minds and the
relationship of our mind to its
environment.
No two people have the same
problems of mental health; yet all
of us must be unconsciously guild
ed by mental habits of some kind,
Good mental habits are rules of
mental health.
Twelve rules of mental health
have emphasized themselves most
frequently in human experience.
They deal with hurry, worry, con.
centration, efficiency, decision, ac-
tlon, work. play. rest and exer-
else. discussion. poise, conscience,
emotions and ideals.
One of our worst habits il

it as a necessary part of modern
life. Our thoughts should be our
servants. not our masters. Until
We control our actions by we'll
directed thought we have not suf.
ficient command over ourselves.
Birmingham tells tNation's HEALTHY
of one young man who under
took to make these rules part of
his life by writing them out
every morning: he was of the
type which becomes wound up"
under pressure. So hurried was
he that when he wrote this para
graph on hurry his writing be-
came almost illegible. 1t took
him several weeks before he be.
gan to think sufficiently about
hurry to write legibly about it.
And there is worry. Now worry,
says Birmingham. is a complete
circle of inefficient thought,
whirling about one point of, fear.
When we begin to think produc-
lively, with a definite purpose jim
view, we either find our fears
ungrounded or discover q way
out Of cur dilemma.

But as is common with the
human young, he needed lot of
attention. Sun bath-bottle--nap
Notwithstanding doing every
minute of the day and often far
into the night. Not hard work,
but picky. And Betty has let
it ravel her disposition into
shreds.
beneath that tiredness there's
self-pitying, resentfuI attitude
which aggravates her weariness a
thousand fold and is making life
q lively young hades for Dan.
She can't talk to you for five
minutes without beginning to
wine. She's "all worn out
never has a minutes rest
All her Girl Friends are having
wonderful times, but she's "tied
down every second. You men.
tion Dams Proud Papa enthus-
iasms and instantly she's resent
full. Yes, OF course. Dan thinks
the baby is wonderful but he
doesn't have to take care of him.
Dan goes off every morning and
never gives it another thought.
Then he comes home at night and
expects to find her fresh and full
of fun. Well, If he had to work
the way she does, etc, etc.
Does that mean that Betty
doesn't love her little son? Not
at all. She adores him. And she
has the nlakings of one OF the
finest mothers in history-if she
can get wise to herself. But just
at present she Is reacting to
motherhood as 500 out of 1000
modern girls react. She is taking
1t as a personal grievance and
making herself and everyone else
miserable by being sorry for her
self and mad at Dan.

discipline and is looking for a soft
snap. Betty is no exception, but
she is causing herself a lot OF
needless suffering by acting the
martyr.
She isn't a martyr. She is a
healthy, normal young woman
with a perfectly reasonable job.
She is not working any harder
than any young woman should
be expected to work and she is
enjoying priceless compensations
in the way of love. protection and
freedom from responsibility. At
present her hours are broken,
but this condition will shortly
pass. She will be enjoying leisure
and freedom when other working
women are still in the tread mill.
The great trouble with Betty,
and many other modern wives
and mamas is that they didn't
think of themselves as working
women. They do not realize that
it's as much up to them to pay
their way after marriage as be-
fore. They feel that they have
conferred an inestimable favor
upon their males by marrying
them. and should thereafter, be
exempt from toll.
They may have been most
sensible and systematic as office
girls but it does not occur to
them that marriage is as much a
job IS stenography and that a
husband has as much right to
expect courteous and efficient
service as any employer or part
ner. Consequently when they
find that wives are still expected
to be workers they grow highly
indignant and feel cheated and
abused.
That is one reason why our
divorce rate is booming.
