THE MARRY
GO-ROUND
BY Helen Rowland.
The PIu-perfect Woman

The Plu-perfeCt Woman
If wishes were horSes-every
woman would wish for an auto
mobile. And, If wishes were
wives-every man would wish
for a miracle woman.
Consciously or uncOnSciOuSly,
every man Is looking for that
plu-perfect being, a non-intcr'
fering wife.
You know the kind I meant
A wife whose chatter won't in
terfere with his reading Of the
newspaper at breakfast, and
whose love of an argument won't
interfere with his digestion at
dinner.
Whose religious principles
won't interfere with his Sunday
golf--and whose suspicion won't
interfere with his Saturday
night poker game.
Man Is q peace-loving animal
and what he wants Is a wife
whose social ambitions and
dancing dates won't interfere
with his evenings rest-and
whose nightly queStionnaire
won't interfere with his sleep.
The kind whose boiler-plate
housekeeping won't interfere
with his comfort or his right to
put his feet on the chairs-and
whose espionage won't interfere
with his little amusementS.
A wife whose sense Of hun1or
won't upset his amour propre-
and whose Scotch conscience
won't interfere with his good
times.
A woman whose ScrupleS
won't put a blight on his little
bachelor habitS-and whose
prejudices won't frighten off all
of his bachelor friends.
Whose SenSitiveneSs won't In
terfere with his expressing his
honest opinion of her-and
whose vanity won't interfere
with his admiration of other
women or his monopoly Of the
bathroom mirror.
Whose opinions won't inter
fere with his infallible deduc-
tionS-and whose mental bril-
liancy won't interfere with his
superiority y-complex."
Whose honesty won't interfere
with his "policieS"-and whose
perspicacity won't interfere
with his alibiS.
A MOUNTAINEERING wife!
That's what every man wants!
A wife. like his watch. always
handy when she Is wanted. and
never in the way when she
isn't wanted.
All ne asks Of q Woman Is
that she love him a little. trust
him q lot-and LET HIM
ALONE, But that. nv heartieS.

been hampcred by home influences.
 Adherence 10 the values repre- s"nted by father and mother and q continual preference for their con- panionship are usually caused by ex- ceasive emotional dependence which cannot help but stand in the way of proper social development.
 There are two types of parents who are likely to affect their chil- dren in this way those who are excessively domineering and those who wish to hold first place in their children's love against all other claims.
 No matter what the cause, the effect upon the child is unhappy. , The existence of such excessive de- pendenCe keeps him satisfied with in the family circle at time when he should be reaching out beyond it to make the contacts through which he will learn to live his life as an adult.
 It is thus possible for the protec- tive and affectionate interest of par ents 10 stand in the way of the establishment of new relationships and to deprive the child of that growth in which emotional interests outside the family group play a large part.
 Specifically it tends to prevent the development of friendships with per sons of both seXes--and experience which is essential in the growth of an individual from childhood to ma turity.

Nightgowns Are Modish

It practically takes d knowing eye to distinguish the new nightgowns from hostess costumes, they are so charmingly designed.
 They specialize in putting into practice all the high lights of fash ion. The princess line, sashed in soft ribbons or little belts, the bolero, the lace yoke, often with drop shoulders or puff sleeves. and the full sweeping lengths of hostess costumes all are incorporated in this winters nightics.
 There are two different general types. There are the beautifully tailored ones that make use of hand work but rely upon the fine fabric 3nG exquisite line for their loveli- ness. And there are the sheer, fluffy ones that go in for lace here and there.
 If you are the svelt, sportswoman type, you may prefer the former. If you are the ra-femininc, are let tlng your hair grow and developing ciinging traits, you will rcvel in the latter Both are chic and absolutely stunning in their colors and textures.
 For the former type, there is q peach fiat crepe nightic that fits the figure and flares gracefully 10 ankle length that has d lovely little bolero of white crepe, with the edges all Scallopcd in peach. This boero ties shut with q bow of peach flat crcpe and the nightie has little sash of the material. Peach mules are made Of the same material.
 For the feminine type, there is a, gracious, full length nightgo"n of white Alencon lace appliqucd 10 form deep, fitted yoke and cient1rre and bow at the middle of the back. There are deep side godets of the Alencon appliqucd into the skirt. Mules Of white, with gold and silver trim, are a pleasing accessory.

 The Christmas Seal

Though England was the pioneer country in the development of pub lie health, United States came as close second and in the develop ment of voluntary health associa- tions has ranked, and still ranks, .s tie worlds leader
 Our people support large num- Der ot unofficial and voluntary health organizations whose objcc- ! tives are the elimination of disease and the conservation of life and health,
 We have voluntary associations to combat accident, blindness, can cer deafness, tuberculosis; 10 pro- mote mental hygiene, baby welfare prenatal and post-natal care, and Il host of other laudable health ob-
 otives.
 Ii is undeniably q fact that much
 | the phenomenal health progress ailch this country has made during .he last 50 years is due to the stim- ulus Of the voluntary organiz1- tions.
 Their particular virtue lies in the fact that they enlist the interest, support and cooperation of so many individuals-a feat not often accom- plishcd by official or governmental 1 health bodies
 1 One of the earliest and probably l the most highly developed Of these i voluntary organizations is the Ma 1 1onal Tuberculosis Association, i W hose state and local branches dot 1 the country,
 These organizations, m their an- nual Christmas seal sale during the month Of December, offer for sale to the public Christmas seals at q cent apiece.
 l Through the income from these seals they haze financed, for more than a quarter of d century, an | epoch making war against what has l been so well described as the White Plague.
