Husband
Held Wholly
byGO0d Food
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON
A good husband deserves good
food. This fact is too obvious to be
argued.
Perhaps this is the reason Why
more women are taking up domes-
tic science course, and why so many
young girls are being trained in the
household arts. The woman who
gets a good man wants to show her
appreciation.
But it is to be hoped that our
daughters will not fall for the idea
that fine cooking can detain hus-
bands at home indefinitely. While
it may serve to reconcile them to
domesticity, it has never been known
to preserve their virtue intact over a
long period of years.
For some of the most miserable
and mistreated wives in the uni
verse have been women who how
cred over the saucepans and spent
all their mental energy thinking up
fancy dishes to tempt dads appe-
tite. And they lost him just the
same.
It's Humane
Husbands should be we'll fed be-
cause that is the humane, the de-
cent, the sensible and the clever way
to deal with them. When one loves
one of these men one delights to
see him eat. And if he has worked
hard all day there is no reason why
a wife should not speak her affec-
ton with beefsteak, and get almost
the same pleasure out of the occa-
sion as he does.
But let no wife put her trust in
cooking alone. A man may praise
his wife's culinary ability to the
skies and commend her to his
friends and refuse to take her out
to dinner on the plea that he does
not like to eat at restaurants, but
this will not prevent him from
straying off with the dolled-up
dame, who has specialized in kisses
instead Of kitchens.
They Don't Stick
Any woman who is not an abso-
Lutte moron can keep house and cook
a decent meal if she sets her mind
to it. But look about you, my
friends, and recall the men whom
you have known who sat worshiping
at the feet of their good wives mere
" because the said wives could
cook. You will agree with me that
hens teeth are plentiful compared
to them.
This idea that a woman may keep
her place in a mans heart merely
by cooking for him is another of
those clever bits of masculine propa-
ganda that we meet so often in our
journey through matrimony. The
sex that was bright enough to think
up such ruse is too smart to base
their love on such low standard.
Don't listen to it.

those benighted creatures to whom
YOU refer. I went abroad with no
trunk, one suitcase, one evening
dress (Which never had on), and I
would no more think of exchanging
my sort of good times for yours
than asking to be struck blind. Per-
haps didn't learn the menus OF the
Crillon and Maxim's by heart; per-
haps I didn't sit around the baize

Such things are not impositions
