THE MARRY
GO-ROUND
BY Helen Rowland,
The Origin of Necking

Inc origin or Necklng
DREDICTING the rise and
Il fall of the stock market is
a kindergarten game beside
foretelling the fluctuations in
woman'S waistline-the rise and
fall of the meridian in feminine
dreSs-theSe days.
From Empress Josephine'S
time, when the "waistline"
Snuggled coyly up almost under
the arms, to flapper days, when
it dropped almost to the knees,
the vagaries Of the feminine
waistline have kept man guess
ing and bewildered.
Neither the mercury nor the
SkyScraper elevators have any
thing on Woman'S beltline when
it comes to going up" - or
going down." And, like them,
it doesn't remain in any one
place very long.
Just as man has accustomed
himself to reaching for a girls
waist around her hips, 10, up
goes the meridian-and he has
to learn to reach for it, as he
does for a strap in the sub
way.
Once, in tubular times" it
disappeared altogether; and
when a man went to encircle
a fair damsels waist, he didn't
know WHERE to tackle her.
And that, alas, is when and
how and why the uncouth prac-
tice of "NECKING" came into
vogue!
I have never SEEN anybody
meek" If there is a cheaper,
more vulgar and rowdy word
in the English language" I
have never heard it. But. what
ever that mysterious pastime
called "neCking" may be, there
is not a doubt that you can
blame it all on the vagarieS
of Woman'S waiStline! And not
on the rumble seat or the
younger generation.
Once, indeed, way back in
the Gibson-girl days, the femi-
nine WaiStline was an undulat-
ing, tortuous affair, that went
up in the back and down in
the front, like a roller coaster.
Now, in the new-old princess
fashions, it undulates the other
way-up in the front and down
in the back.
1t IS enough to make a man
SEASICK!
But the patient, long-suffer-
ing male creatures don't COM
plain. They go right on CROP
ing for it, blindly, as the novice
gropes for the gears of the
car.
The younger and more i'm
petuous generation may grab
the NECK in their exaspera-
ton. But the older and more
deliberate lovers still make for
the waistline, knowing vaguely
that it must be SOMEWHERE.
Oh, well. playing hide-and-
seek with the waiStline is an
amusing game, and probably
lust one more way Of keeping

that are not served ordinarily
to the family.
When you take a friend home
you do SO because you are proud
OF your family and your home,
and your wife knows it.
If your wife is a good cook,
you take pride in that fact.
1t does not cost you any ex.
ira effort to entertain a
friend, but it means consider
able effort and work for your
wife if you are not fortunate
enough to keep a maid.
The matter of invited dinner

Your wife should have some

about the time.
You are not pleased when
your wife invites friends to
your home without first having

not convenient to entertain

It Is very easy for you to say
that he is an ordinary sort of

But you cannot perceive the

must discover the hills with
your spirit as you must
discover people with your spirit.
You must become part of them.
and let them become part of
you. Then, when you lift up
your eyes unto the hills for
help" you will surely find the
help for you will have
come again to your own people.
And they will know your need,
for it is one with their needs.
Spring, summer, autumn and
