ARE WORKING WIVES NOBLE CITIZENS?

Hthe male, actually, SneIS rapidly
approaching the spot Grandma oc-
cupied-and will soon have no
place to go but home.
Which is exactly where she
should go and STAY, declares Mr..
Bernarr Macfadden in one of the
arousingest documents on record.
At first glance, the Macfadden Of
fensive seemed an innocent enough
gesture. He just wanted to find
the Ideal American Couple. So
he made a survey of $4,000 people
who answered his QUESTIONABLE
and selected Mr.. and Mrs. Nc
Donell, of Gainesville, Fla, as con-
forming most closely to the follow
ing specifications:
Marriage at the age of Is
years for the man, FL for the
woman; children-either two or
three; religious unity of hus-
band and wife; religious train
ing for children; a husband pos
SeSSing the characteristics of
ambition, devotion, affection
and a good disposition; the wife
to be neat, devoted, loving and
loyal; family life with outside
social interests; a home indie
pendent of relatives or in-lawS;
good personal appearances in
both husband and wife; good
meals, an attractive home; rea-
SOnabIe financial security mini
mum income of $1,45O yearly)."
Well, what's wrong with that?
Not a thing, partner-not a
thing except one brief phrase
which has already made the
Ethiopian fracas look like a break,
fast Spat-
THE WIFE MUST BE NON
WAGE EARNING:
She may have every other virtue
on earth, but if she has a job or
even in any way interfereS with
her husbands business affairs"
she can't quality with Mr.. Mac
Fadden'S IdealiStS.
Whereupon-But just pass that
questionable on to any married
woman worker If you want to dis
cover what's happened. Suffice
it to say that-as we go to press
Skinning alive, boiling in oil, draw
ing n quartering and being shot
at sunrise are the mildest things
most of The Girls would do to Mr..
MacFadden if they could catch
up with him.
ANSWERS WANTED
So now it's your turn to vote.
Should the American Woman be
on industrial equality with the
American Man? Should she have
a right to take a job If and
when she wants one, regardless
of how many other bread win
ners there may be in the family?
Or should the Working Wife be
liquidated and returned to her
kitchenette pronto?
For, believe it or not, Stern
Necessity and not a mere Fit O.
Pout is the reason behind the
average Working Wife's job. And
just how are you going to kiss
that away. my Lords and Mas

TriangIe!

A few of us who have watched
the three at the night spots are
wondering how it will turn out.
It's the old triangle, a lass and
two lads, but it has its peculiar
twist. For one thing, the girl is
an average type showgal. That is
to say, she is pretty, but not i'm
pressively beautiful; intelligent,
but not too cultured or clever;
charming, but not possessed with
any distinctive personality. She
dresses as well as she can on her
meagre earnings, and as far as
any of us know, is pretty straight.
Nevertheless, she's proved attrac-
tive to two young men-diStin-
guished young men-one the
grandson of an oil executive
the other, son of a stock broker
who will some day inherit his
millions. Both could have their
pick of the seasons debs, yet each
flames over this girl. What pro-
videS zeSt to the situation is that
the two young heirs are keen
friends and their rivalry has not
caused a rift between them. So
all three sit at a table together
and swap pleasantries. But, when
the girl casually reaches to touch
the hand of the lad on the left,
his rival will just as casually
reach for the other hand. When
one dances with her, the other
cuts in. Neither is willing to per-
NIT the other to escort the girl
home and so both perform the
duty. When they leave her, they
drive back to the club and each
then proceeds home in his own
car.
Sooner or later, of course, one
of them will win out, and you may
have a front-page story headlin-
ing the case of another poor lass
who made good in a big way by
marrying the heir to millions. I'm
less, of course, she decides to
wed the third and hitherto I'M
mentioned wooer-a lad whose
income at present is exactly $50
a week.

ing Galleries are hashed over for
the weekend you will find you
have celebrated in a big weigh!
It would be very easy to make
your slip from calorie grace final,
and to stay off your reducing pro-
gram for the balance of the year.
But with the holiday season just
three weeks off, you can't afford
to take chances with your figure.
Three weeks of ronchalant calorie
consumption could ruin the best
figure.
AS a matter Of fact, you may
need the discipline of a two-day
fruit regime. I don't know just
how far you have slipped! The
fruit regime will help you to get
your appetite and will power un-
der control, an6 your digestive sys-
tenn back on happy terms with its
owner. After a day of heavy, rich
foods, there is no tonic like the
fruits, fruit juices and vegetables,
given in your fruit regime.
Here are two new salad dress
ing recipes to brighten up the
thousand calorie menus and the
fruit regime. These recipes were
suggested by Anna Boiler, past
president of the American Dietetics
Association.
Vinegar Dressing
/ cup vinegar, u teaspoon salt
70 teaspoon mustard, u teaspoon
paprika, dash Of sugar
Dissolve sugar in vinegar and
add other ingredients. Place in
jar and shake we'll. Very little
food value. May be used in almost
any amountO
Mock French Dressing
"a cup salad oil, teaspoon salt,
! cup vinegar, u teaspoon pap
rika, u teaspoon mustard
Place ingredients in jar and
shake well.
Your figure should now be at
the most malleable point in your
reducing career. You can do al
most anything with it-gain or
lose! Work off an inch from
your hips and two inches from
your waistline. At this point
three weeks of CONSTANT exer-
else will do marvellous things for
your figure.
The general exercises fill the
the needs of the proportionately
overweight individual. In most
cases, however, obesity picks on
certain spots to make them con-
spicuous. Concentrate on the
specific exercises to redefine your
recalcitrant curves, by strength
ening the muscles in the fat
susceptible areas.
Be calorie wise over the week
end-or pounds foolish next Mon
day morning!
