What do they get? The Doghouse.
No man has-as far as I know
been able to date to persuade his wife
that he is as hot stuff as he thinks
he is The female of the species will
never look upon him with the admir-
ing eye of his masculine pals-in fact,
the look bent upon him within the
portals of his own home is so jaun-
diced that no amount of self-immola-
ton will whiten it. He is mess,
deserter and loafer; he has no right
to leave his family to the mercies of
peddlers, burglars and second-story
men while he carouses and makes a
fool of himself in the company OF
equally mentally deficient males
And now comes the trouble. With
the acceptance of the DoghouSe rou-
tine by the husbands a certain de-
gree of callousness must naturally
develop. From that will come, as
natural transition, the rebellion of
these husbands and their attempt to
put their wives in special Doghouse
for ladies.
THIS won't oe any fun for us girls
Suppose We spend the afternoon
playing bridge-at a loss-and return
to the little nest late, broke and bad
tempered. Immediately the waiting
mate puts us in the Doghouse-be-
cause we have been gambling-we
have lost money remember. when
your old man comes home on the WIN
ming side there is no penalty, and
because dinner has not even been
thought of. Then we go in the Dog
house. And We haven't leg to stand
on-because fundamentally We have
committed just the same crimes, ex-
cept our binge has been in the day
time instead of at night. We have
gambled with the family budget-we
have lost money-we have imbibed too
much tea or what have you've have
been late coming home-and our dis
position is horrible. Maybe we haven't
sung songs-but goodness knows we
have probably talked enough to bring
the average well up.
Okay. The much-eXiled male sud-
denly comes into his own and We take
the rap-in the Doghouse. The idea
apparently hasn't occurred to the
masculine gender as yet, but 1t Ger
tainly will before long-and then we
gals will wish We had never started
the custom of the Doghouse. Well
be there with bells on-and in addi-
ton We will have to take it" from the
guys who have been suffering at our
behest for the last few years. And
you know-or you ought to-how much
tougher a sophomore is on the
freshmen than are the Juniors and
seniors. Well be taking the hazing
from Doghouse inhabitants who are
full of fresh grievances.
If I were you, girls, I'd call this
Doghouse thing off. When a Dog
house bites wife, it's news!

Mental hygiene" as our century
interprets the cosmetics question in

Doctors agree that the way patients
look has much to do with how they
feel and vice versa. and the plea put
forward by cosmetologiSts is for AN
entente cordiale between physician
and beautician'' They could and
should work together without en-
croaching on each others preserves.
For example. in cases Of acne and SIM
liar difficulties, patrons could be re-
ferred to the doctor for diagnosis and
to the beauty specialist for treatment.

cooking has become fad with men.
A lot Of our most famous actors and
editors and writers and business men
are prouder of their performances on
the gas range than they are of their
achievements in art or literature or
business.
Every man who goes hunting. camp
ing or fishing boasts of his culinary
triumphs and throws his f1apjacks
and fried eggs in his wife's face and
wonders why she never learns to make
coffee the way he makes it. So do
the men who are their own cooks and
bottle washers on boats. So where
does the difference come in that makes
it something to brag about if done
abroad and thing to hang the head
with shame if done at home?
Considering that men get Just as
much pleasure and comfort out of the
home as women do; considering that
they are just as keen on a good dinner
and as pernickety about the state of
the bath room and raise ruction If
the floor hasn't been properly swept,
there is no good reason why they
shouldn't do their part toward helping
to achieve the results they enjoy 50
much.
II a man makes the money that
supports his family and if his wife is
strong and able-bodied woman, then
he should not be called upon to do any
Of the housework. He should not be
expected to make the bacon and fry
it, too. But if the wife is delicate
and frail, then 1t is certainly up to
the husband to help her with the
housework. And whether the wife is
sick or we'll he is a poor sport if he
won't pinch-hit for her in any emer-

Always it is the worker who dignifies
