But. women collectively! That Is
something different. Terrifyingly diff
ferent! The male guest columnist
hears rumbles in the vicinity Of his
subconsciousness. The noise increases.
Over the crater Of the mind, forgotten
memories spill in every direction. First
comes the story of Lysistrata. Next
the memory of what happened to the
Roman senators when they neglected
to do right by the ancient Nells.
The fiotsam of a casual knowledge
of history washes to the surface to
tell one that the first function of
a male guest columnist on the wom-
ans page is not to make his readers
angry.
A CCORDINGLY, helrs best adver-
tised fury-that of the woman
scorned-is going to be provoked by
nothing that appears in this space
during the current week.
In other words, this particular guest
columnist is not one to go along with
the ancient saw that "a woman, a
dog and a walnut tree; the more you
beat them, the better they be-"
That broad matter Of policy set
tied, the second function Of the
masculine guest in the woman's de-
partment is to consider what are his
particular qualifications and limita-
tions particularly the latter) for the
Job. Why should one have said
"Yes" when the woman's editor asked
il he would like the opportunity to
take over her job for q week?

TT WAS sulphur and molasses IN
l. grandmothers day. And as much
the fashion for young miss to take
this tonic in the Spring as for the
young mans fancy to lightly turn to
love"
The sulphur and molasses was sup
posed to do things to you; clear your
skin, make you bloom. If it did a
skin clearing job. it must be that the
complexion and the digestive tract are
related
Let's talk about the digestive tract.
We don't often do it. For one thing
we do believe that it belongs to the
physicians province. For another, it
isn't exactly glamorous and we do like
to talk about beauty and to look at
beauty from the glamorous, rose-col-
ored-glass angle, don't you? But oc-
casionally, it is well to be reminded
that the functioning of our internal
organs has a marked effect on eXter-
nal beauty.
Also, though we definitely do not
believe in, nor recommend making
habit of catharticS, it isn't bad idea
to take dose occasionally. particu-
larly if there is feeling of fullness or
dullness or If bowel movements have
been irregular
1t is often referred to as Spring
fever-that shiftless, dreamy, listless
attitude. But why, I ask you, should
one feel sluggish and sleepy at this
bright season? If you get your fill of
fresh air and sunshine or exercise,
good food, including plenty of fruits
and vegetables, and drink your full
measure of water it shouldn't take long
to shake out of the fever
Also, If you are in good health, you
might indulge in the three-day, or
even q one-day, liquid diet. Nothing
but liquidS-water, orange juice, other
fruit juices, bouillons, consommes and
more water-a glass of liquid every
two hours. 1t will rid your system
of waste accumulations. 1t will make
you feel bit empty" and even head
achy; but after that it will have
much the same effect as the sulphur
and molasses had on grandma.
If you are planning to reduce, and
you probably are if you are the least
bit overweight, the liquid diet is a
fine way to start. On the fourth day
you 90 on a sensible maintenance diet
and slowly, surely and altogether
sanely shed the extra poundage.
My General Balanced Diet, Exer-
cises and Health Rules are good
old standbys for Spring beauty.

Plant grass seed on bare spots

rains will help it to germinate
quickly and it will get a good

To wash silk crepeS or geor-

the garment through good suds.

To make barley water with
pearl barley, wash one heaping
teaspoon Of barley. Drain. Then
add a pint of cold water. Boil
gently for three hours. There
will be very little water left and
the barley will have swollen and
become soft. Add sufficient boil
ing water to make it a pint again.
Add q speck of salt, then strain.

More About
w e d din g
Ceremonies
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: feel I must
ask your opinion relative to the
double wedding of our daughters. be-
can't sleep worrying about what may
have been inexcusable discourtesy on
our part. The wedding was at the
church at o'clock in the evening.
Everything seemed to have gone all
right and breathed sigh of relief
to think there had apparently been
no hitch. But breathed easily too
soon, because at the reception I
learned the mother and several rela-
tives of one of the bridegrooms ar
rived at the church after o'clock,
and, as the bridal party started up the
aisle, they stayed in the back of the
church. The mother was not angry
in fact, she felt terrible that they
should have been late simply because
they let visitors detain them at home.
Nevertheless, I have learned that
other members of this family think
the signal for the wedding march
should not have been given until the
families had been checked. Please be
very frank; I'd rather know the
truth-better or worse-which ever it
may be.
Answer-I can we'll imagine how
you feel, but, as matter Of fact. their
lateness was without excuse. You see
the whole mechanical arrangement of
the wedding would have had to be up
set on account of situation that you
could not have foreseen. Both brides,
your husband and whoever was to walk
with the younger bride. all the brides
maids and you would have had to
stand in the vestibule of the church.
Meanwhile the clergyman, the groom
and the best man, having been told
that the bride had arrived at the
church, would have taken their places
standing at the chancel and there
would have been pause that might
have been almost calamitous More
over, at a double. wedding it would
have been almost impossible for the
ushers to have known whether the
members of both families had ar
rived or not. And even If they had,
how long should the brides party
have been kept standing on one side
of the closed door while the anxious
bridegroom waited and the guests
oil wondered what was the matter?

Six Days to Be Devoted
To Observations With
Friendly Goal in View
Collective Women 1t Is Averred, Must Be
Approached With Different Viewpoint
From Common Experience of Man.

It seems only elemental Justice to
acquaint ones readers with ones
background in this connection.
Is the male guest columnist a hus-
band? He Is. Is he father? Thir-
teen years ago, two years after he
had become conscious of the awful
implications of responsibility in
Lohengrin's famous march, he felt
that tremendous satisfaction which
derives from having fulfilled mans
biological destiny. Before that, of
course, there was a mother in the
guest columnist's life, once there was
a red-haired secretary. and through
out the entire period there has been
the usual miscellany Of aunts,
cousins (female) and friends of the
opposite sex.
entitle one to write for women,
to women?
The only honest answer to that
question Is that it does not. Many
other men have had as wide. others
a great deal wider. experience with
women and have felt no impulse to
put its results and its lessons, If any,
into words.
But it is not always impulse that
makes men act. Necessity is just
as powerful a force, and in the case
OF the man who writes for a living,
the call Of duty never goes un-
answered, even when it leads straight
to the woman's page. In other words,
what the boss says goes.
So, one writes.
One will write for six days and hope
for the best. Being canny, II not
wise, one will write not as crusader
intent upcu the destruction OF an I'M
agined matriarchy, but as-well. shall
we wait and see?
The only promise one can make Is
that, avoiding unpleasantness. one
shall nonetheless evade the impulse
to write like a sissy. At least, one
shall try to resist any such impulse.
It Is going to be a barren week Tor
the woman who expects to use the
column as a means OF getting an ldea
for a new and enhancing meal. For
more years than sound flattering IN
type this columnists attitude toward
foods has been an entirely destructive
one. Beginning with his first formula
he has disliked everything pertain

fellows, this probably will turn out
to be one Of the most constructive
things ever written for mem
A logical next column would be On
the subject of woman's unreasonable
ness in her deductions from her 'hus-
bands differing moods-a compilation
of tales narrated by misunderstood
husbands in the course Of lifetime OF
lending ones ears. A sort OF 'Con-
fessions of Confessor."
As to the other subjects with which
one might deal-within the limits OF
a beguiling ignorance and desire to
avoid strident controversy-shall one

AA/ pecting a gardenia corsage
Wv on Easter morning, you
will want to enjoy this ex-
quisite fragrance long after the deli
cate blooms have faded, and so we
want to tell you about two charming
additions to the gardenia family that
have just made their appearance as
Easter gifts from one of our most
famous perfumers.
Sketched above you will see them
in all their Spring beauty, the de-
lightful star-embossed bottle Of gar
denia cologne, with its companion
box of gardenia -fragranced busting
powder. The cologne is the direct
result of the great popularity Of gar
denia perfume and the demand for
cologne with the same fragrance, yet
containing all the zest and fresh
ening qualities of other colognes. 1t
Is a perfect product and has that
indefinable note of distinction with
which all this makers creations are
endowed. The mat white and gold
box of the dusting powder mark 1t
as an ideal Easter present. You will
fall in love with both of them at first
sight and a whiff of the fragrance
will make them lasting friends.

father have done. How it happens, no

despises him. II he talks back to her,
she accuses him of mental cruelty and
drags him to the divorce court. If he
is meek, she walks all over him. And
