to get his breakfast and will still be

Johnny's pants and darning his socks
an hour after he has been tucked in

The other thing that infuriates
women beyond measure is for their
husbands to speak patronizingly about
supporting" them when they know
that they earn their board and keep
thousand times over by the labor
OF their hands, to say nothing of the
loyalty and devotion they throw in
for good measure. Apparently men
only consider that work is work when
it is done outside of the home, in a
store or Office. When performed inside
OF the home it is gay diversion, and
a wife is expected to be grateful to
her husband for giving her the
pleasure of participating in 1t.
How they get that way. nobody
knows. but it is an actual fact that
the great majority of men never
think of their wives as anything but
expenses. In their eyes, wives are
just incarnate bills, bills, bills. II
they love their wives and are gener-
ous-minded, they may think that
marriage is worth the price, but al
ways they feel that friend wife is
a liability instead of an asset, Thev
seldom stop to consider how often
a wife'S -pinching has laid the
foundation of their fortunes, or what
a crackerjack press agent she has
been, or how many important social
| connections her charm and tact have
made for them, or what she has
saved them in the way of doctors
bills and sanatoriums by taking care
of their health.

| A BOUT the only man who ever
appreciates the value of a wife's
work Is a widower. 1t is when a wife
dies and he has to hire half a dozen
high-priced women to do the work
she did, to cook and clean and sew
and mend and baby-tend and be a
professional shopper and social Sec
retary and God knows what else, that
| he marries in self-defense. Because
wife labor is scab labor and the
cheapest on the market.
OF course, in the back of his head
every husband does know that his
wife performs invaluable services to
him, but he has never put a price
tag on them, and it is fine thing
the Government is doing in forcing
him to realize that his wife's work
is worth just as much in the domestic
partnership as his own. And let us
hope it will do one more thing: That
it will dignity woman's work in
her own eyes.
Because men have held women's
work in the home in contempt, women
also have despised it, and, If they
can be made to see that making q
comfortable home and rearing fine
family is a greater career than talking
over the radio and getting into the
movies, a great good will have been

BY MARGARET WARNER.

TINE first days of Spring are apt
to become suddenly disastrous
to ones good looks. Quick
rises of temperature In the
middle Of the day play havoc not only
with your disposition and makeup,
but seem to produce a general let
down of all the muscles so that by
evening you have worn and hag-
gard air not at all in the spirit of the
season, If you have an engagement
for the evening and want to look your
best, it is pretty serious matter and
something must be done about it i'm
mediately. Going out to have facial
consumes time as we'll as energy, so
why not solve the problem by trying
out new and splendid plastic masque
while you drop down on the bed and
completely relax for 20 minutes?
This new and delightful masque,
which has just made its bow to the
cosmetic world, is pleasant to use and
will give your tired face just that up
lift that it needs. After you have
cleanSed the face spread thin film
of plastic cream evenly on all parts of
the forehead, face and neck, then
while you are resting let it work for
you. 1t is said to be based on the
most absorbent substance known to
science. You can feel it tighten up
those sluggish muscles. and at the
same time 1t brings constant flow Of
e-giving properties to the skin,
cleansing and toning up the pores as
well.
When the masque is removed with
tepid water, you will find your skin
glowing and so fresh looking that you
feel quite equal to any occasion. This
is an excellent pickup treatment,
but its continued use three times a
week at night, followed by a tissue
cream, should not be neglected, as it
will help to iron out the expression
lines around the eyes and mouth and
combat crepey lines at the throat.
The very attractive container shown
above in its ivory jar with bands of
red and silver will add further pleas
ure to the use of this cream. ANY
woman can look lovelier."
SPECIAL soaps for special skins is,
indeed, a welcome find, particu-
larly in Washington, where the prob
lem of hard water Is one to consider
with any soap. One local shop is very

Creams for

RY ELSIE PIERCE.

THE saying goes, comes in like
a lion, goes ont like lamb"
But as a matter of fact, the lamb
like qualities are not always apparent
at the end of the month. The lion
and lamb take turns, making March
q very temperamental month.
Temperamental weather is not kind
to compilations. Perhaps one reason
is the fact that the first balmy breeze
encourages women to ease up a bit
on skin care and skin protection. And
in an hour the balmy breeze may
change to cruel, cold wind.
To be forewarned is to be forearmed.
So I'm warning you. Continue to give
your skin the same protective care
that you did during the Winter. You
see, am taking for granted that
your skin had the necessary, COM
pensating fabrication and protection.
Without these precautions few skins
continue in state of blessed beauty,
few skins can stay soft and smooth.
You know the lesson about an
ounce Of precaution. No need to
4CRCdG ~ IVY O1lly 1LOPC 10 IIldt
you are applying it. In the matter
of skin care, as in everything else,
protection is preparedness.
Let's figure it out logically. A pro-
tective coat of cream and powder
keeps dust from clogging the pores.
So for that reason alone it is justified.
No matter how fair and mild the
weather, the precautionary treatment
can do no harm-it only serves to
make the skin look finer, more beauti-
fully groomed. Now then, March in
one of its temperamental moods lets
loose its bag of winds. You're quite
prepared for it--your skin does not
suffer from it. And beauty is thus
preserved. If all that isn't reason
enough for taking the little time and
going to the little trouble of giving
your skin g. quick treatment before
Venturing outdoors. then I can only
say-experiment. Go out without, one
windy day.
Yes, one really windy day is enough
to do damage and plenty of it; enough
to coarsen and chap the cheeks and
lips, make the hands red and rough.
One windy day and to undo the
damage you may need twice, no three
times. the treatment that precaution-
ary care calls for.
Agreed? Well then, cleanse your
skin thoroughly, then mold finishing
cream over face, neck, hands and
arms Now pat clouds of powder over
and smooth away the excess. Powder,
you know, serves as a fine protective
coat against weather extremes.

~ UR paternaI Government has
sent out a QUESTIONABLE to
farm women asking them
~ how many hours day they
work; how much butter, milk and
eggs, chickens, turkeys and ducks they
produce; how much fruit and vege-
tables they can: how much clothing
they make for their families, and so
forth and so on.
The information thus obtained, 1t
is stated, is not only of financial but
also psychological Importance, for it
is intended to show that the money
worth of the crops raised by women
is often as great or even greater than
that of their husbands wheat or cot
ton or corn. 1t will give wives a
realizing sense of their Importance
above all, teach husbands to appre-
ciate their wives value as helpmeets.
It is a great idea that should not
be confined to the rural districts, but
that should come to town. For to

household drudges the millennium will
have arrived when they can draw out

bands, when they demand to know

CHARLESTON, w. Va, March
IA conference will be held
here this week between Gov. H.
G. Kump, Of West Virginia, and
Gov. Harry Nice, Of Maryland, to
speed action on reconstruction Of
the bridges carried away by last
weeks floods, cutting off all
means Of motor transportation be-
tween the two States. "a
A preliminary survey Of the
damage indicates that it will re-
quire close to $1,OOO,O00 to rebuild
the five bridges, and it is believed
an attempt will be made to secure
Federal funds for this work.
Since three Of the bridges are
privately owned toll structures, it
was considered working out some
plan whereby they might be
acquired by the States and re
tanned only 80 long as toll bridges
until the purchase price was paid
and then be opened free.
State road engineers reported
to Governor Kump that it will re-
quire about $3,000,000 to repair
damage done to the State high
way system by the flood and the
severe storms Of the past winter.
There Is sufficient money in the
State treasury to do the road re-
pair work, 1t was said by officials,
but no funds are available for
bridge construction.
