 Suffered in Accident

Medical testimony pre- dominated at today's contin- uation of the trial of the $50,. 900 civil suit of Frederick Squires of Wolcott against V. F. Reynolds of Norwalk and the Clark Brothers Chewing Gum Company of Pennsylvania. Dr. John S. Dye, who treated the plain tiff for his injuries, was the principal witness heard.
 The case Is expected to require at least the remainder of the day and possibly some time Tuesday for completion.
 Crippling injuries are said to have been sustained by MT. Squlres on the afternoon of Feb. l7, 1887, when he was allegedly struck by a truck operated by Squires, an employe of the gum company. The incident occurred on the Middlebury road, aS MT. Squires awaited to cross the street after alighting from e bus, Judge Miles P. McNlff is presiding.
 Also on trial In the court of com- mon pleas Is tho suit of Henry Sei- bert against Henry Saunders, based on alleged non-payment of wages. Judge Edward J. Finn is presiding.
 Possibility of settlement caused the postponement of trial of the $500 suit Of Arthur Collette against Peter Collette and others, which was to have started yesterday. The case Is yet to be disposed of, how ever.

creations, and who blames all of his
failures and mistakes on the jealousy
and evil Vaccinations of others.

NO MAN wants q wife who sees
through him, or who judges him,
or who criticizes him. He only wants
one who admires him and who yes
yeSses him. That Is why so many
men marry inferior women and are
happy with them as long as the soft
soap holds out.
Wives do not feel this way about
inferior husbands. Perhaps it is the
way they are built. perhaps it is be-
cause of the thousands Of years Of
subservience of wives to their hus-
bands, but every woman would thou
sand times rather be the wife of a
successful man than to be successful
herself. 1t burns her up with shame
for her husband to be q weakling, not
able to hold his own with other men
You never saw a bossy, -pecking
wife who was happy one or a con-
tented one.
But II 1t makes for the happiness
of a marriage for the husband to be
superior to the wife, If one is better
than the other, it makes for the gooe
Of the children for the mother to be
superior to the father in case both

A GROUP of psychologists who
~ have been delving into the
~ why and whereforeness of
a marriage and trying to find
out what makes it what it is, declare
that it is inequality between husbands
and wives that brings about most
matrimonial failures.
But, continue the wise men, when
one or the other Of the high contract
ing parties in a marriage is superior
to the other it should be the man,
for a man can go on loving and being
happy and satisfied with an inferior
wife, but it is the essence Of wom-
ans love that she shall look up to
her husband.
OF course. there is nothing new in
these findings, but their truth is
matter of common knowledge All of
us can cite a dozen cases in which
a clever and intelligent man is united
to a Dumb Dora wife to whom he is
perfectly devoted. And we can also
point to plenty of superior women who
have divorced perfectly good husbands
| for no other reason than that they
were dull and stupid and bored them
| past endurance.
lVERY often Nature has given to a
woman the brains, the energy, the
initiative that it has withheld from
her husband. Many times it is the
wife who is the go-getter in the matri-
monial partnership. It is she who lit
orally pushes the husband into sue
cess. But the man whose wife makes
him never worships his creator. On the
contrary, he resents her being able to
do the things he cannot do, and al
most invariably lie turns from her to
some inferior woman who will think
him wonderful and great and burn
incense at his feet. When the gray
mare is the better horse there is likely
to be Smash-up.
| On the other hand, there is nothing
that makes so much for the success
Of a marriage as for the wife to
regard her husband as q little tin
god and to hang up his every word
as If 1t were the inspired utterance
| Of an oracle. When q wife begins
every sentence with John says" 1t Is q
certificate Of domestic bliss strong
enough to draw money on ut the
bank. -
It is proof that the wife Is per-
fectly satisfied with her matrimonial
bargain and Is on her tiptoes trying
to placate her hero and prove her
worthiness of the honor he has be-
slowed upon her by choosing her as a
wife. It is soothing to the mans
egotism to find in world Of critics
one who appreciates his real worth.
AS q matter of fact, home is the
only place in which mans vanity
can really assert itself. In his busi-
ness and professional life he must
contend with men who are his equals
or his superiors. The blows he gets
leave him Inundated, with his self.

.HelpTrirn
Chin nLine
Adhere to a Daily
Routine to Help
Nature Along.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

HOLDING that line Is as much of
a task in the pictorial scheme
as it is on the foot ball field. After
25 it takes definite effort to do 1t. Oh,
If you're 20 or less and quite COM
placent about the firm, youthful con-
tour Of yours, 25 seems far away and
the mere possibility of loss of that
line seems even more remote. II
you're 25, or even 30, and, in spite of
yourself, have retained a lovely line,
don't expect Nature to continue to
be kind.
What you need is cream, astringent
and some neck exercises three
simple things and a few minutes a
day to devote to the routine.
Right at this season all is elegance,
opulence and glamour; everything is
climbing high-skirts, shoes, hair,
hats. Don't you think that droop-
ing contour would be sadly out of
line with such picture?
An occasional salon facial is fine,
if you can afford it. Any number
of the more usual facials include
an astringent tie-up. But, whether
you have the salon facials or not, the
| supplementary home treatments are
of utmost Importance.
A few minutes a day will prove
more successful and resultful than
hours spent now and then, and the
tie-up for a few minutes a day is
preferable TO one worn for hours on
end. Certainly it is not necessary
or advisable to sleep IN a chin strap
because, for one thing, the muscles
become too accustomed to the arti-
hclal support and for another We
move about so in our sleep that
the strap cannot have its full value.
Start your home treatment by
cleansing the skin thoroughly. Then
sponge with tonic. Now apply a good
cream. Start at the base of the neck
and work up under the chin line.
Pat vigorously under the jawline from
ear to ear with the back of the hand.
Directly over the cream pat with a
pad of cotton saturated with astrin-
gent.
That done, open the pad, dip into
astrlngent again, place under the con-
tour and tie firmly with strip of
gauze. Then go about your business,
reading, writing, doing whatever you
please. After Is minutes or q half
hour, remove any remaining cream
with tissues and pat with astringent
once more.
For complete directions and manip-
ulations for the treatment and tie-up
please send self-addressed, stamped
t3-cent) envelope and ask for my
Facial Routine" You may also have
my chin and neck exercises if you
wish.
