Dorothy Dix Says
A Man Expects His Wife to Combine
Every Virtue and Charm in the World.

some woman on whose shoulder he
can weep when things go wrong with
him, to whom he can boast of his sue
cesses and show off as he could not to
any other man. And when his wife
don't lend him her ears he finds some
other lady who will. 1t is the wives
who interrupt their husbands stories
about how they pulled off a big deal
to say, Look how cute the kitten is
acting" and who will never step out
of an evening with their husbands
because they are afraid the nurse
might let the baby get uncovered, wbp
are always weeping about the other
woman.
A man wants his wife to admire
him. He wants her to think him the
greatest and most wonderful creature
in the world and as long as she does
this he can swell out his chest and
perform prodigies of valor. But when
his wife criticizes him, corrects his
grammar, his pronunciation and his
table manners and wonders why he
can't make as much money as other
men do and when she not only lets
him see but makes it plain to other
people that she considers him a poor
worm Of the dust, it debates his ego,
it kills his faith in himself and
wrecks him.
A man wants his wife to show him
appreciation and tenderness. If she
does that, nothing else much matters.
She has fed him on the bread Of life
for which we all hunger. These are
some of the things that men want in
their wives and any woman who gives
them to her husband need not fear
age nor sirens. DOROTHY DIX.

Few Beauty
Hints for
Bride -tO-Be
void Strenuous
Shopping and Rush
ing About.
BY ELSIE PIERCE,

60, YOU'RE going to be married.
And whether you are to have the
last word in elaborate weddings or q
simple little Just for the family" af-
fair, the chances are about even that
you have been rushing, rushing about
far too much for your own good.
Weddings somehow seem to take
care Of themselves. The details Of
choir, church, floral decorations, the
reception afterward, are all attended
to smoothly enough, and for the most
part, by others. But it's shopping
that saps the brides energy and
threatens to destroy her good looks.
It's rushing too much and resting too
little that makes many bride-to-be
jittery and nervous. 1t takes a placid,
far-sighted soul to plan ahead, to take
things in stride, to conserve her
energy. But such a body's rare, in
deed. In fact, all too many brides
break down into tears of sheer ex-
haustion with the plant Though they
don't mean it, Of course) that I heard
recently, Il was living such a peace
full, smooth-sailing existence, why did
need all this"
1t may sound lacking in sentiment,
but it isn't lacking in good sense
let others do some shopping for you.
Practically every large department
store has a personal shopping service
with clever, efficient people in 1t who
can be intruSted to do lot Of shop
ping for you. You can have innumer-
able things sent to you for eXanina-
ton, selection, approval. and thus save
yourself precious steps and energy. If
you are going into housekeeping and
hunting for furnishings, get only the
most essential things in advance.
If your purse permits. let decorator
do the rushing about for you and take
you to see the few possibilities after
the not-So-good have been eliminated.
Otherwise, let friends or family, whose
tastes you can trust, do this prelim-
mary shopping about for you. I've
done that myself for half q dozen
friends.
OF course you have to shop for
wearables and for your trouSseau
accessories, silks, linens and so on.
But let your aim be to save as much
energy as possible the while you are
spending every extra dollar and every
precious hour. If you are wise you
map out a shopping list day by day.
Floor by floor of one department store
is the best way to shop. 1t saves steps
and strength.
Just as surely, suppose you plan for
an hours nap and facial every eve
ming just before dinner. You take the
nap in a darkened room and before
lying down you cleanse face and neck,
pat with tonic. apply good nourish-
ing cream, put iced witch hazel pads
over your eyes. You visualize a dark
spot on the wall, you fall asleep. If
you are restless soul, but don't have
to worry about the purse strings, get
frequent facials in a beauty salon and
tell the operator to put an eye rest over
your eyes when she ties up "the chin:
then rest for IS minutes. 1t will work
wonders.
My Facial Resume will tell you how
to give yourself complete facial at
home. Send self-addressed, stamped
(3-cent) envelope for it.

Equally good is a member of the

handy little article checks perspiration
for a day, and so may be applied in
the morning after the bath or shower.
1t often proves invaluable as a sub
stitute for your regular non-perspir-

night and is sometimes forgotten. This
little magic stick should by all means
be noted on your travelling list, as there
is nothing about it to break or spill

Confidence
Of Patient
Desirable
BY JAMES w. BARTON, NJ. D.

TN A large city many years ago
the outstanding physicians in hos
pital and bedside work were two clever,
but very gruff gentlemen. What
they said to the patient and to the
family of the patient was likely truth
full, but the patient was made to feel
that medicine was a mystery, that his
questions were childish and that II
there we're a chance to pull him
through they could do it.
Part of this gruffness may have
been assumed, and compared with
questions asked today the questions
were likely childish.
However, in these days patients
know something about their bodies
and how they work, and as DR..
Charles Mayo says, "the doctor who
does not take his patient into his
confidence Is not up-to-date." The
physician now knows that the influ-
ence of the mind on the general
health, the general running order Of
the body is so strong that rather
than have the patient worried, Won
dering, apprehensive, it is wiser to
explain just what has gone wrong in
the system, how much or how little
damage has been done and what will
be necessary on the part Of the pa
tient and physician to get things
back to normal or as near normal as
possible.
The keynote In the discussion Is, Of
course, to reassure the patient. be-
cause hope Is the most effective medi-
cine known.
About II years ago my daily ar
ticles during a certain period COM
pared the body to a motor car; the
gasoline was the food, the gas tank
was the stomach, the carburetor was
the small intestine, the chassis was
the bony framework, the shock abb
sorbers were the tires and discs be-
tween the bones of the spine, the
steering gear and electric equipment
were the brain and nervous system,
and SO forth. In another series I
compared the body to house.
Thus some physicians explain the
patients ailment to him in terms Of
a motor car-wrong gasoline or too
much or too little; the gas fiow is
partly blocked, the battery run down,
the exhaust partly choked, too much
gas Good) In the carburetor for the
amount Of air mixing with 1t, some
parts getting worn and various other
comparisons.

back the years. or at least
- few of them, and make your
skin and face radiantly lovely and
youthful again. This new arrival
comes to us from Hollywood, where
it is said to be sponsored by a long
list of screen personalities.
The other day We were invited to

ment that is described as the miracle
of ageless years" Not a cream and

which must be allowed to remain on

openings for the eyes, nostrils and
mouth. Then you relax and take
your afternoon siesta.

surface, and curative, stimulating in
gradients that penetrate the pores

rest. Then, when the operator calls

has to be peeled of. And 1t really
is a masque, because it retains its
form, although it is a bit limp, like
a pink rubber glove. What it claims
to do is to draw out impurities from
the skin, at the same time f1rming
the contour as it hardens. And it
does give a fresh, vital look to tired

beaches, for some of it has been cap
tured and put into cakes of soap to
give your skin good health while you
seek cleanliness. This ambitious
cleanser used to be content with being
a much talked of complexion soap, but
wishing to keep abreast of the times it
has now added new element which is
called filtered sunshine" This means
that Gin the making an ingredient
of the soap has been irradiated with

this is readily absorbed by the skin
and makes for better results in skin
care, just as sunshine itself pours life,
sparkle and vibrancy into your being.
There seems to be no difference in
the new package of soap to distinguish
it from the old, yet we are told that
the formula has been changed and so

Concerning

BY EMILY POST

NEAR Mrs. Post: Both my parents

calling the wife of one and the hus-
band OF the other Mary" and John"
Perhaps this is not very courteous
since they are both the age of my
own parents. But it's all little con-
fusing. having real parents and extra
ones at the same time. For instance.
I can't say "stepmother" and step
father" when talking to them, and to
say Mrs. Black" and "Mr. White"
sounds very strange, too, to me. The
other day some one asked me, "Who
is Mary?" and said, "She's my STEP
mother" and the person said. "Oh!
I didn't know your mother was dead"
decided then had better ask you
about this, because must be wrong
somewhere.
Answer-No, you are quite right.
That Is, nearly all step-parents are
called by their first names, unless
they are quite old or unless they per-
sonally object. In this case, a step
father Is usually called Uncle John
and stepmother Aunt Mary or Cou-
sin Mary or name such as mater,
or M. A., which denotes mother but
not ones own mother.

Dear Mrs. Post: (a) have a first
name I'm not very pleased with and
usually write my name A. Katherine
Brandt. Is this proper? (b) Lately I
found 1t necessary in my office work
to sign letters as the secretary to the
man work for. signed my name
like the above and wrote under It
Secretary to Mr.. Blake" Was this
right?
Answer (a) If I were you would
drop the A. and be known as Kath-
crime Brandt. (b) Yes.
Dear Mrs. Post: have always re-
ferred to the husbands and wives of
my brothers and sisters as brother-in
law and sister-in-law. Now I am told
by a person who usually knows what's
good form that the term "in-law" is
obsolete. Is such a thing true?
Correctly one says "in-law"
or else my brothers wife" or my
husbands sister" or my sisters hus-

well meant" but confusing.

~ wants in his wife. Oh, man
4 n wants his wife to be a happy
combination of all the charms and
virtues, and then some.
He wants her to be an amalgamation
of Miss Universe and Mae West. Pa
tient Griselda and Hetty Green, do
mestic science expert and his mother.
He wants her to be playgirl and a
kitchen mechanic; to be a miracle
worker who can run house on air; to
look like million dollars without run
ming up bills at the shops; to be a
mind reader who will know that he
still loves her even If he never shows
that he does; to keep perpetually
young and slim and to never weary OF
burning incense before him.
These are the few modest require
ments that q man makes of his ideal
wife and no mortal woman could pos
sibly fulfill. But, fortunately, when 1t
comes down to the real brass tacks
of matrimony, men are much less de-
manding in reality than they are in
theory and are quite satisfied with a
simple line of attractions that any
wife could hand out If she were willing
to take the trouble to do so.
A man wants, to begin with, a wife
who will make him comfortable.
Most men marry for a home. They are
sick and tired of boarding houses and
hotels and restaurants; of keeping up
with their laundry and sending their
clothes to be pressed and of looking
after themselves; of going back to a
dark and lonely room after the days
work is over. They want some place
that will be a haven of rest to them;
where there will be light in the win
dow and loving hands to draw them
across the threshold; the things they
like to eat cooked just the way they
like them smoking hot on the table.
Beauty may draw us by a single
hair" as the poet says, but being
made comfortable is hawser that ties
a man to his doorpost. The wife de-
serters are never the men whose wives
were crackerjack cooks and who made
home the most comfortable spot on
earth to their husbands.
A man wants q sweet-tempered,
cheerful wife. He gets plenty of fight
ing in the outside world and he does
not desire to spend his evenings scrap
ping with his wife. He has plenty OF
worries in his business to depress him
and he does not wish to have his
gloom added to by wife who meets
him at the door with tale Of woe
about everything that has gone wrong
during the day and who whines and
complains about not being able to
have the things that millionaires have.
What man wants Is O wife who Is
easy to live with: one who will laugh
OF his little faults and make q joke
of them instead Of nagging him about
them; one who will keep the atmos-
phere of the home gay and bright
and whose conversation is funny and
peppy, instead of being a dirge.
