IENPECKING appears to have
Il originated at or about the
same time as the marriage


assiduously practiced ever since by the
feminine sex. 1t is of record that the
First Wife nagged the First Husband
into doing the thing that he didn't
want to do and knew that he should
not do. so since that sad day the world
has been filled with poor, downtrodden,
spirit men who refer to their
neither garments as our" pants and
jump when spoken to by their better
ree-quarters.
No figure has been more common in
our midst than the henpecked husband
who has been variousiy regarded with
amusement or contempt or pity. His
case has seemed hopeless, just one Of
the things that are a by-product Of
matrimony and about which others
could do nothing So we have sat help
lessly by, with folded hands. in the
belief that no one could protect hus-
band from his wife and that no earthly
power could stop bossy woman from
bossing.
But the Prussian government thinks
differently and has established the
status Of the henpecked husband as
NJ G. The supreme administrative
court Of Prussia has ruled that man
who lets himself be dominated by his
wife is not nt to hold Office in the
Prussian state, and an of1icial, who has
been notorio,lsly henpecked by his wife
under this edict has been deprived of
his Job.
THIS verdict, based upon the theory
that the man who cannot rule his
own home is not flt to rule state,
seems logical enough until you reflect
that there isn't any reason in marriage
anyway and things don't work out
according to rule. Because man fol-
lows his wife around like Mary's little
lamb at home is no sign that he isn't
raging lion abroad.
have known generals with their
breasts covered with medals they had
won for bravery in war, but who were
scared to death Of the little two-by-
four women to whom they were mar
ried. I have known men who ruled
thousands Of employees with a rod of
iron, but who didn't dare to ask for
second cup Of coffee in their own
houses. I have known men whose word
was law and for whose opinions great
corporations paid thousands Of dol
lars who said "yes, ma'am" to their
wives and never dreamed Of such an
audacity as correcting them even when
they were wrong. And so have you
known all Of these types Of men who
were giants and leaders among men,
but who let their wives keep them on
the leash. Fill out your own list and
perhaps you will put yourself at the
head Of it.
Why husbands let their wives hem
peck them must forever remain mys-
terry. No one can explain why a man
who knows that he has far more i'll
telligence, far more experience Of the
world and far better judgment than
his wife will let her dominate him and
make him do things that he knows
are wrong. Nor can any one explain
why man will patiently endure being
nagged about everything he does and
leaves undone. and having every ves-
tige Of personal freedom even Is to
what he eats and drinks taken away
from him. But he does 1t, and surely

EVERYBODY is rolling their own
at the beaches these days. and al
home. too, for that matter It's quite
a game to see who can produce the
cleverest idea out Of gay scarf o.
two. Rolling UP smart little turbar
with perky top-knot out Of a square
of gay printed cotton almost takes the
art of professional trickster, but
once you see it done, it Is easy.
We always thought that those dis
played so temptingly at the neckWear
counters were rolled over some sort o1
bandeau, but that isn't so. Here is
the way 1t is done. Lay the scarf out
fiat, then beginning at one of the
corners. fold two sides on the diagonal
so that they meet in the center. Now
tie knot at the apex Of the triangle
of the part that is folded. This gives
you the top-knot and the rest looks
like a Ounce cap that is too long
in the back
Starting with that lowest point, be-
gin to roll the handkerchief all
around, and continue rolling until
you have it small enough to make q
little skull cap. So much Of the ma
terial will be in the roll by that time
that it will look padded, and will hold
its shape. It's lots OF fun and you
can get clever effects by your choice
Of colors and designs in scarfs. Then
with matching square worn around
the neck you have a prefectly grand
accessory set for a plain-c colored OF
all-white dress or play suit.

Composite Picture of
the Habitual Slump
Not a Pretty One.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

| JUST how important proper pos
ture is to bodily health any ply
sician will tell you. To function nor
mally the vital organs must be in nor
NAL position. Too many people, men
as well as women, are guilty of ha-
| bitual slump. AS result vital nerve
and blood channels may become par
TALLY obstructed. Pinched nerves,
strained muscles, aches and pains are
often the direct result of faulty pos
ture. Improper functioning Of the
digestive tract and of the chest cavity
may be due to faulty posture.
Poor posture is Just as detrimental
| to the pictorial scheme We are ALL
| all too familiar with the protruding
abdomen, exaggerated lordosis curve,
| flattened chest, rounded shoulders >.
the composite picture of the habitual
slump and not a pretty picture, by
| any means
We have just completed a series Of
| exercises on spot" reduction-aimed
| at flesh accumulations in various parts
| OF the body. We've talked about un-
| even distribution of weight and the
humiliation it adds, the happiness 1t
subtracts. Many women may, seri-
ously, start exercising those spots.
| Summer is the ideal time to do 1t.
Even in muggv, hot weather it can
be done. Light weight clothes are
| conducive to exercise, the informality
| OF beaches makes it possible for one to
exercise without attracting a curious
| crowd, in the privacy of ones own
boudoir or back yard at beach or
| mountain resort one certainly can don
| loose overalls and bend and twist and
stretch. Then, too, there are Sum-
mer sports which are splendid as
! normaliZng exercises and If you know
which sport to choose for what ais
| you the exercise will serve a two-fold
purpose, give you a full measure of
fun and full value received so far as
slimming goes.
But while you are exercising bear
| in mind that unless your posture is
correct the exercise will not have its
| full value. And between sessions on
| the links, tennis court, or your mat
| at home make sure your posture is
| quite perfect. If it isn't, then all the
good that the exercising does tempo
rarily is undone, and far more per-
manently. You may even succeed in
reducing the spot" but you won't
| look as slim and svelte, as tall and
straight as you would if you were
standing, sitting, walking in proper
| posture. And proper posture con-
sists simply of: Abdomen In, chest up,
not exaggeratedly, but normally,
shoulders in normal position, small OF
the back almost straight (no evident
curve there) and buttocks tucked un-
der. Try tits really easy.

Dorothy Dix Says
Husbands Often Stand for Nagging to
Prevent Actual Violence.

MOST of us think of a henpecked
man as weakling, one who lacks
the backbone to stand up to bossy
woman and fight 1t out with her, but
my observation has been that the
henpecked husband Is more often a,
hero than a coward.
Many men buy peace in their homes
at the price of submission. They find
themselves married to women SO mar
row-minded they can never see any
point Of view but their own and so
despotic in their dispositions that they
must rule or ruin. To save continual
turmoil and conflict and to prevent
their children from being brought up
in house Of strife, they sacrifice their
pride and their manhood and let their
wives walk over them roughshod.
Many other men suffer themselves
to be henpecked because they have the
vision to see that their wives persist
ent nagging, their never ending
espionage, their ceaseless efforts to
force them to obey them, as If they
were little children, springs from love
and their desire to protect them. And
myriads of other men are henpecked
because they realize that they have to
give in to selfish woman who is de-
termined to have her own way, or else
divorce her, and they are good enough
sports to stand by their bad bargains.
But because man permits his wife
to rule him is not proof that he is in
capable of ruling others.

Manners
of the
Moment

WHEN a girl sits down at the
w piano and looks at the keys she
naturally creates the impression that
she probably is dying to play little
tune. And so, naturally, her friends
will urge her to play. That's fine
and dandy If she really can play, and
If she will pitch right in without
being coaxed.
But some girls are bafling. They
keep insisting that they really can't
play q note. And yet at the same
time they seat themselves right in
the middle OF the piano bench and
smirk. You feel that you really should
coax them to play, because probably
it's just bit Of coaMng they need.
So you coax and coax, and finally
they play, and you WI YOU had be-
lieved them at first when they said
they couldn't.
Now we believe in letting we'll
enough alone. We believe in starting
off with the question, do you play?"
and then accepting the answer We're
through with coaxing. Il apt to be
too hard on the ears. JEAN.
