his wife is a Susan until he has been married to her for ten or fifteen years. Long enough SO that she is bored by the role of charming wife and lovely mother and all ready to cast about for a new one. She may go in for a fad as harmless as tap danc- ing - and then he is lucky or she may take hold of a live wire like some freak re- ligious movement and hold on, as does Susan, until she burns herself and everyone she touches.
 What can a husband do when he wakes up to the fact that he is married to a Susan? A wife who suddenly regards him as relatively unimportant in the scheme of things, and sees a house as much too small a place for her newly realized "poten- tialities?"
 Gertrude Lawrence, who plays the part of Susan, thinks the husband has only one course-to grin and bear 1t. To regard his wife's lat est enthusiasm in the have it-and-get-it-over-with spirit in which he accepted Juniors case of measles or humps.

Spectators at the National Horse Show in New York had to be satis- fled with only glimpses of society women's sumptuous evening g,wns which were concealed by luxurious wraps and headdresses.

 Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Staff Writer

"The oblong type of face frequent ly bespeaks a beauty-loving nature and a brilliant mind" says a we'll known Hollywood makeup artist.
 "Yet, because of the, incorrect use of cosmetics, this type often is made to look hard and cold The woman whose face is oblong as are the faces of Loretta Young, Anita Louise and many other beautiful screen stars, ought to be especially careful to avoid effects which create an illusion of greater length between forehead and chin" "
 If you have a long face, do not dress your hair high on your head, and don't part it in the middle. Wear it softly and loosely, thereby mak- ing your face seem wider. Fullness near the chinline is important, too.
 Do not arch eyebrows. Pluck away the hairs which grow across the bridge of the nose. If you allow brows to grow too closely together in the center, nose as well as face will seem longer. Simply use your natural eyebrow line. Extending 1t will over-emphasize your forehead. Do not put rouge too low or too far out on the cheeks. Rouge thus placed will accept light and create hollow-c checked effect. If your nose is long, keep rouge a reason- able distance away from it. Put rouge in a perfectly blended circle in the center of the cheeks. In the evening, it's a good idea to use faint amount of color on the chin. This has a tendency to make the face seem a bit shorter.
 When you apply lipstick, try to widen the upper lip and make the lower one full at corners. Do not use great quantities of lipstick, and be careful about making the mouth look too wide. Beware of cupid's bows. Then tend to accent uate the vertical lines of the face.

 Chronic bronchitis, the winter cough of the aged, is less common in the United States and Canada than in England. Dr. Osler attri- buted this to the more uniform heat ing of houses in this country. There is no doubt, he said, in 1906, that with prudence even in the most changeable winter weather much may be done to prevent the onset Of chronic bronchitis.

 In a speech at meeting of social workers recently Governor M Clifford Townsend of Indiana remarked: q suppose some of you waiting to hear me say something about the merit system. We'll here go out on the limb I'll discuss it and you do the saving With this good-humored preface, Governor Townsend declared himself to be advocate of the party respon sIbility principle for running public office.
 T understand said Governor Townsend, that a government perpetually by inexperienced people would get into hopeless tangle, while run by an unrecallable society of ofice-hoders would be no democracy In that sentence Governor Townsend de- cribed the extremes to which government may go Un fortunately, it is usually the extremes which dealt with in debates civil service and the merit system Advocates of civil service often regard the pol itica system the extreme in ineciency. Politicians, on the other hand usually overpant the dangers of o garchy through civil service.
 Between the two is the happy medium, and there is room for both efficiency and democratic processes. None but the extremists desire to get away from party responsibility. Any civil service plan drawn with medium of reasoning leaves for party responsbil ty in the policy-deermining places of government It obviously would be unWise to go beyond that point But it equally unwise argue that democracy and party responsibility cannot be served unless members of the party in power occupy all positions in the government But while the two undesirable extremes discussed in so many of the arguments civil service, insu cent attention usually is paid to the existence of the happy medium between the two
