WE SHOULDN'T think it would be
much fun to be the sort of
husband who has to carry his wife's
knick-knacks around in his pocket
all the time. She'd be always coming
at you and diving unceremoniously
into your pockets for her hanky or her
Gpstick or something. At the most
awkward moments, too . just when
you wanted to light cigarette, or as
you were about to gain a point in
your conversation with the cotton
broker you had just met.
We've seen it happen that way
Some women act as though they had
married for the convenience of having
. few pockets along with them wher-
ever they go.
We can't see why they don't carry
pocketbooks themselves. Or why they
Net themselves be bamboozled into
carrying pocketbooks that aren't big
enough to hold an earring. Once q
girl gets the hang Of having the things
she needs right on her own person,
she finds it really much more conven-
lent than having to pluck them off
husband. There's a sense of inde-
pendence In carrying your own hand

The Old Gardener Saws:

There are several savory herbs
growing in the garden which may
be brought indoors for the Winter
and planted in pots or window
boxes. The best herbs to grow in
a window garden are mint, water
cress, parsley, chives, sweet mar
joram, basil and the rose gera-
mum. They should be trans
ferred indoors before freezing
weather. The potting soil should
consist Of one part sharp sand,
one part well-rotted cow manure
and two or three parts Of good
garden loan. A very small
quantity of bone meal may be
added. The soil should be mixed
thoroughly and screened through
. coarse screen. If window box
Is used, 1t, should be at least 8
inches deep with an inch layer of
broken stones in the bottom for
drainage. Pots should be at least.
6 inches in diameter and should
have bottom drains. The plants
should not be crowded and should
be watered little every day.

Gift of Value
Never Given
At Shower
Present Expected
Only When One
Attends Party.
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: I was invited to
shower several weeks ago.
Being sick in bed gave me a good
excuse to decline the invitation, which
did not want to accept. The shower
was given by the girls aunt, whom
we have known for years but not inti-
mately, and I felt rnat 1t was an
imposition for her to expect me TO
buy present. Now my daughter, who
is just home for the week end, tells me
that my being sick was no excuse for
not sending a present. Is this true?
And If it Is, / don't know how an
ordinary family's budget is to be bal
anced with these everlasting showers,
which seem to be increasing every day.
Answer-It is never necessary TO
send present unless one goes to the
shower. One may, of course, send one
if one particularly wants TO but it is
not expected.
DEAR MRS. POST: Recently one Of
the women in the organization
where I am employed. resigned her
position to become a mother. AS she
had been employed here for a number
OF years, we took up collection and
bought her lovely gift Today one
Of the girls in tn Office brought down
stack of shower invitations, which
were written by the mother-to-be'
sister. They weren't even personally
addressed, that is, all of them came in
envelopes without any names on them.
None of the girls in the office, with the
exception of the person who brought
down the invitations, knows the sister,
who is giving the shower. Don't you
think this shower giving has gone too
far? But what can We do less than
donate again?
Answer-Read the answer to the
foregoing letter. 1t is not at all
necessary that you accept the invi-
tation.
DEAR MRS. POST: Don't you think
that something ought to be done
about limiting the value Of shower
presents? After all, shower presents
are not supposed to be the same as
wedding presents, and many Of the
brides friends are unable to give
handsome shower presents, and then
nice wedding present besides.
The other afternoon 1 went TO a
shower for girl We all know we'll. and
most of us gave her very small presents
such as few dish towels, a saucepan,
measuring spoons. etc, and then others
(who are in no better financial cir
cumstances than We are) gave her
really valuable gifts which made ours
seem mean when put on display beside
them.
AnsWer-I agree with YOU that
shower presents ought to be small ones.
and these other presents should be
given to her at some other time.
Judging by several hundred letters
similar to these, it would seem that
the shower question is becoming a
serious one, and I do think it is a
pity to let the spontaneous lightness
OF a friendly gesture become a burden
some obligation.

Tricks That
Are Worth
knowing
A Simple Matter
To Keep Face
Pufs Clean.

FROM time to time readers offer
valuable bits of first-hand infor-
nation that am very happy to pub
lish in the hope that it will help
others. My vote of thanks today to
L. S. S. who writes
Here's suggestion you might pub
lish for housewives who use washing
machines.
Keeping powderpuffs fresh and
sanitary is a very simple matter with
a washing machine. Simply place
one or more puffs inside an empty
cloth sugarbag, run the open end of
bag through the sewing machine ad-
justed to large stitches. Then put
bag in the wash with other white
clothes, with no further special at
tention except to dry thoroughly and
in hot sun if possible. When bag is
ripped open the puffs will be downy-
fresh and sweet, like new"
And to E. W., who says:
MY nose used to shine all day

Friends suggested a powder base, but
simply don't like the 'feel' of most
powder bases on my face. Finally
was persuaded to try it on nose alone

should be warned to follow directions
and not use too much or the result
may not be satisfactory, blend it in
very carefully, blot the excess with a
tissue and then powder. Incidentally
a very light, fluffy powder usually is
not the best type for noses that act
up. A Slightly heavier powder is
better.
And to r. L., who advises gray
haired women:
Women with gray hair often Won
der what it is that causes the yellow
iSh streaks in their hair. I used to
be ever SO careful not to expose my
hair to too much sun, not to sit under
a too hot dryer or under moderate
drying machine for very long. My
shampoos have always been pure
CASTLE, liquid shampocs,s absolutely
nothing to yellow the hair. and yet
there was the inevitable streaking
Recently I had my hair shampoo'd
at beauty parlor and the operator
told me that lukewarm water must
be used, never hot, as it may produce
the yellow streaks. Blueing, OF course,
will tone down the yellow, but it's
best to avoid the yellow in the first
place"

the greatest sinner, the
woman who kills her hus-
- band with a gun in fit of
anger or the one who poisons her hus-
band SO that she may get his insur-
ance money and be free of him, or
the one who makes his life hideous
for him? A.. BIC
Answer-I think it is a far greater
crime to kill the soul than it is to
kill the body, and that the woman
who takes away from her husband
everything that makes life worth liv-
ing commits greater sin than if she
took his life.
At its worst dying is short agony,
and surely those men who have been
the victims of nagging and shrews
will receive their martyr crowns when
they pass from the scene of their
torturing into the Great Peace But
for man to have to live, year after
year, with wife who makes his home
a place of continual conflict, and who
takes a sadistic pleasure in torment
ing him in every way that her cruel
and devilish feminine ingenuity can
suggest, is for him to endure long
drawn-out suffering whose bitterness
is not to be told.
Yet we all see this done every day.
We all know women who consider
themselves models of virtue and lights
in the church who have murdered
their husbands just as surely by their
coldness, their neglect and their tenn
pers as if they had slain them with
some letha- weapon. We have known
husbands who have been stabbed to
death by million wounds from a
venomous tongue. We have known
husbands who have starved to death
for affection and appreciation. We
have known many slave husbands who
were worked to death to supply q
wife's greed for luxuries No one knows
how many of the men who drop dead
in their Offices of what the doctors
diagnose as heart failure die because
their wives have broken their hearts.
x
THE wife who meets her husband
with snarl when he comes home
after hard days work, and who never
says kind or pleasant word to him,
but insults and abuses him; the wife
who is whining and complaining and
who reproaches her husband with not
heinp able to make as much money as
some other man does; the wife who
belittles her husband in the presence
of others and who throws cold water
on all of his hopes and plans; the
wife who teaches her children to treat
their father with contempt, does not
think of herself as murderess. But
she is one nevertheless, because she

Nor are women the only spiritual

would have done a less cruel thing
to her if he had shot her down at
the altar than he did to take her to
a home where he would kill her bv
SLOW degrees by his grinding tyranny
and coldneSs and neglect.
There are plenty of men who never
show their wives any tenderness or
affection or do anything to make them
happy. Plenty of men who never
speak to their wives except to find fault
with them. Plenty of men who make
domestic slaves of their wives and
never give them penny of the money
they earn by doing the work of half
dozen servants. Plenty of men who
make marriage SO hard and joyless
to their wives that they are glad to
lie down and die.
1t Is terrible thing for men and
women to take the lives of others into
their hands, as they do when they
marry, and if they fail to do all they
can to make those lives happy they
have committed the objectionable sin
They have taken something from their
husbands and wives far more precious
than life itself.

to exist in the Administration as
to whether Congress could make
the legislation effective for the

legislation to go over until the
next session.
