@HE other day a mother and her

TIME OLIl6T udy HloOAAcA aAAu L1rA
daughter, who had just been
graduated from college, were
Il discussing what the girl should
do next. The mother thought that
the girl should prepare herself for
marriage, which was evidently her
predestined career. by learning how
to cook, market and run a house on
budget.
But this plan the girl fatty vetoed.
NO" she said, what 7 want is to
have lots of pretty clothes, go to the
best beauty shops, improve my dane
ing, go places and do things and
have plenty of parties
"But that won't fit you to make a
good wife," protested the mother. "ltll
get me a husband, though" replied
the girl. And then she added: The
girls who get their hands held are
those who have their nails painted
red, not the ones who have got blisters
on their fingers baking bread. Men
don't look for their wives in the kitch-
en-"
As I listened to this conversation 1
thought that, indeed, out Of the mouths
of babes and Sucklings cometh Wis
dom. For it is true that men DO not
choose their wives for their good quail
tiles, but for their looks and their
style and their clothes, and a perma-
nent wave and q pink chiffon dress
will go further toward getting grl
husband than the possession of all
of the domestic virtues. Gone are the
days when men hunted out the hidden
violet to pin upon their breasts. Now
it takes q brazeu sunflower that hits
a man in the eye to make him notice
her.
AEEN are always asking what has
AVA become of the old-fashioned girl
who was mothers little helper, who
made her own clothes and trimmed
her own hats, who was content TO
spend her evenings at home instead
of running around to night clubs, and
who could go into the kitchen and
turn out q meal that would make .
French chef pale with envy.
Well, there are still plenty Of her.
She hasn't Joined the dodo and the
other extinct species of flora and
fauna. She is with lis yet, but she
is sitting at home with papa and
mamma of evenings, reading an i'm
proving book for company, while her
snowy sisters are stepping out with
their boy friends for Q good Time
And she is just as much sequestered
from masculine society as If she were
in a convent, or stranded in some
Adamless Eden. For apparently it
never occurs to the astute masculine
brain to hunt for the domestic girl
at her own fireside, or to penetrate
her disguise when they meet her on
the street or in offices.
1t would be quite all right for mer
to marry Miss America or some one
who looked like a daily hint from
Paris without considering her Other
qualifications, If any, for making q
desirable life partner if appearance
was all they desired in . wife. Un-
fortunately, this Is not the case and
no matter what other charms and
graces a woman may possess, q man

~ 1000 years ago. There must
n have been something eff1ca-
cious about it, for 1t has continued
its progress through the ages in vari-
Gus forms as an aid to beauty by
lovely women.
Quite the newest thing today today
IS delicious milk bath, paSteurized
and bubbling over with live oxygen
that you don't have to go to Rome
to enjoy. Just sprinkle a handful
or two of this white powder in your
tub, turn on the water and watch it
begin to bubble and make a luscious
white foam. Then get into it and see
for yourself how marvelously soft
and soothing it feels.
Said to be scientifically made from
fresh pasteurized milk and combined
with tonic mineral salts and herbal
juices, here is new departure in
baths for beauty and health that you
will hnger in and thoroughly enjoy.
AS you relax in it, all tension Is re-
leased, its softnesS soothes the skin
and its fragrance is satisfying. An
effective deodorant assures complete
protection. and a fine, invisible film
of powdered milk remaining on the
skin keeps it satin smooth.
This new bath preparation is such a
pleasant surprise that we know yQu

THERE'S a little gadget now to
make hair curling at home very
simple and satisfactory matter for all
concerned. It eliminates having a
head full Of upcomf Portable curriers'
that cause no end of trouble at night,
and only one curler is used for the
entire process, believe it or not!
This is the way it works. A metal
curler, looking not unlike toy pistol,
is used to wind the hair and deposit
it securely wrapped on bobby pin.
Each little curl is rolled and pinned
up, producing a head of curls that
dry easily, as the air passes through
them unobstructed, and If desired
some or all of the curls or puffs may
be left pinned up.
This curler was first introduced in
beauty shops and used there exclu-
sively as a time-saver and conven-
fence to both client and operator. 1t
proved so satisfactory that it has
now been put on the market for gen.
eral USE 1t may be used either with
water or a waving lotion.

Men Expect the Butterfly Girl to Turn
Into a Domestic Bee.
EEAsTING his eyes upon a living

EEASTING his eyes upon q living
y picture is doubtless treat for
husband, but it is slim diet for a
hungry man who Graves roast beef
and potatoes, and If his wife cooks
these in a way that superinduces
chronic dyspepsia he is mighty likely
to lose his interest in beauty. Also It
is observable that mems enthusiasm
over women's clothes abates after
they have to pay for them and that
after they are married they generally
settle down and prefer q wife who is
a good fireside companion to one who
knows the newest dancing step and
wants to show it OF.
So then we have this curious phe-
nomenen-that it takes one line of at
fractions for a girl to get husband
and an entirely different line to hold
him. And that is what makes mar
riage such a contradictory business
that it is no wonder that so many
women make a failure of it. The
marvel of it is that so many have
the dexterity and skill to pull of the
lightning -change act.
For It is true that the girl must
bait her hook with good looks, natural
or synthetic; with pretty clothes, with
gsyety and friyolity ip order to catch
a husband, and then as soon as she
is married, II she keeps him, she must
roll up her sleeves and go to work
and wear basement bargains and
generally turn from a butterfly into q
grub. And q lot Of girls do it.
