all, he is Jones who pays the freight.
Few wives do this. They think they
have an undisputed right to monop-
olize the home and decide every
detail concerning it, from the fur
niture up to the people who are
permitted to come in it.
Don't do this. Don't be one OF
the wives who think their husbands
wipe their feet on the mat before
he dares enter his own door. Don t
make your husband feel that the
only privilege he has in his own
home is paying the bills. Above all,
make your husbands family well
come In your home. Treat them
decently. There is no other one
thing for you for which a husband
is so grateful to his wife as he is
for her getting along with his
mother.
Eighth. Be cheerful. It takes a
lot of courage to nail on your face
the smile that won't come off even
when you have a sick headache
and the baby is cross. and the chill
dren have been fighting all day
and the butcher bill is bigger than
you expected-but it pays. If, after
man has been married five years
you should ask him what is the
greatest virtue in a wife, he would
say jolly disposition.
Ninth. Be your husbands best
little yes-yesser. jolly him along
Praise him. Keep his faith alive In
himself by telling him how great
and wonderful you think he is
Make your home brew of f1attery
so strong and potent that that
offered by other women will taste
as fiat as water.
Tenth. Feed the brute. Beauty
is bound to fade with time. Ro-
nance goes out the window. Wit
loses its punch. But mans appe-
tite endures, and as long as that
lasts wife has something to appeal
to. So learn to cook, daughter, il
you would have a charm to conjure
with that never fails.

Comforting
Friends
Adapt Yourself to
Mood of Person
In Mourning
BY EMILY POST.

Dear Mrs. Post: Words always
fail me when I go to see some one
who has been newly bereaved. My
feelings are flowing over inside, but
can't express them as I would like
I'm always afraid I'll say the wrong
thing and probably cause more
anguish. and end by being tongue
tied and seeming very inept, I'm
sure, to the person I mean to COM
fort. Will you tell me what to say
at such times.
Answer-All people feel very much.
I think, as you do. 1t may. however,
encourage you to know that ability
to speak easily at such a time is
much more likely to give pain than
comfort. Words from a clergyman
are comforting. it is true. as is, an
expression of love from those who
love the bereaved ones. But a look
OF sympathy, handclasp and
silence-letting the bereaved person
talk or be silent as his or her own
impulses directs in most cases the
best thing to do. Say something, it
is true. about the loveliness of the
character of the person who has
died or whatever qualifications will
be most missed either by yourself
or by people in general. Say how
deeply sorry you are and reply to
what the other person says to you.
In other words. when going to see
a person in deep mourning you
should adapt yourself as perfectly as
you can to the mood of that person.

Dear Mrs. Post: Is it not GUS
tomary for the groom to kiss his
bride after the marriage service and
just before they turn to begin the
recessional out of the church? I had
thought this was always done cit is
in our own circle), but I was at a
very big, fashionable wedding in q
big city lately and the bride and
bridegroom did not kiss at the altar.
And after asking several other peo-
pie who do not live in our town I've
come to the conclusion that it isn't
general practice after all.
Answer-The bridegroom always
kisses the bride at a home wedding
because she Immediately turns
around and receives the kisses as
we'll as the good wishes of her family
and friends. At very small we'd
ding in church, where the bride and
the bridegroom are going to receive
their friends at the back of the
church, he should. of course, kiss her
at the altar, since he'll have no other
chance before her friends come up
to wish her well. In other words,
he should be the first one to kiss her.
At a very large and fashionable we'd
ding, where the bride and BRIDE
groom leave at once in their own car
alone for the house, it is likely that
he will prefer to wait to. kiss her
there.

to bequeath to the grandchildren. A
special turkey platter and six plates
are also in the heirloom class. Crys-
tai book ends, made in the shape of a
cluster of fruit. have followed out

making them doubly useful as table
or mantel decoration. There are
crystal decanters in the shape of a
huge teardrop, with fine wedge
of crystal for a stopper.

For your Christmas decoration "a

or a pair of gay little angels will
keep you in Christmas mood all
through the holidays. There are
sheaves of wheat. colored brilliant
red, blue and yellow. which make a
distinctive decoration when COM
bined with evergreen or laurel.
A new bride who loves her kitchen
will like the new stainless steel
platters and casseroles which come
out of the oven sizzling hot and go
right onto the table-so good looking
are they. They rest on a heatproof
tray. There are gifts for each room
in the house, such as bathroom
towels and mat sets, packed in a
box all ready to be sent. Sheets
and pillowcases are suggested for
the bedroom, with blanket cover to
match.
There are gifts for the shack in
the mountains, the farmhouse and
the beach cottage. Make yourself
just enough removed from the
everyday thing so that it exempl-
fles the difference between a gift
and necessity. Your discriminat-
ing taste, combined with your knowl-
edge of what will go we'll in the
house. will make your present one
that will give lasting pleasure.

There is a shop in the uptown

occasional chairs, love seats, small

inexpensive accessories. For in

old molds which add to any collec-

street has miniatures from all over
the world-tiny Bohemian glass ami
mails, minute tea sets, Staffordshire

have delightful small boxes, which
most of us love. Notably are carved
silver ones from China, decorated
with turquoise blue enamel.
In one place I saw a porcelain
urn, to hold cigarettes, with an ash
tray to match. which comes in lovely
colors and is out of the ordinary in
design. There is box containing

make Christmas drinks more festive.
The long-handled spoons and tiny
picks are topped with blown glass

pears with a tiny spoon which will
hold jam and marmalade for a

Chinese tea caddies in glorious COL

ton take CHARGE!
When the Men
Go Shopping.
Appropriateness and good taste
count tremendously when selecting
gifts for feminine friends. If you're
not a good shopper, ask your sister
or an older woman to help you.
You'll be safe if you will follow
these general suggestions: First,
never send girl an article of wear
ing apparel, even if you're engaged
to her. Exceptions are handker-
chiefs, scarfs and inexpensive cos
tune jewelry.
Second, never send a gift so ex-
pensive or elaborate that it creates
feeling of obligation on the girls
part. She'll resent being made to
feel that way, and the gift will do
your cause harm rather than good.
Third and last, try to use origi.
nality when selecting the gift.
Something very special for the girl
alone will mean much more to her
than gift which any one might
receive. A gift which you've made
yourself especially for her will Ger
tainly score heavily.
Flowers. candy and books are al
ways popular. However, remember
that girls are increasingly particular
about candy. If you buy the wrong
kind you'll get smile and a thank
you, but small brothers and sisters
(who'N eat anything will get the
candy.
The same suggestion goes for
books. Try to know girls reading
tastes before buying book for her
Know your books or find some one
who does. More important still.
know your girl.
Other suggestions: A purse, per-
fume df you know what she likes,
gay scarf, handkerchiefs, a maga-
zine subscription, a small camera,
fitted case, an entertaining game, a
small lamp for her dressing table,
box OF good stationery in her favorite
color, a vanity case, a gift box OF
candied dates and fruits. Let these
suggestions prod your initiative.
If you can afford to do so, It's
nice thought to send flowers or
candy to your girls mother at
Christmas time. If you can't afford
flowers or candy, by all means send
greeting card. Your unusual
thoughtfulness will mean a great
deal to the mother-and the girl.

eide what you're going to do about
gifts and giving, considering ways
and means. We can help in several
ways, but the most important part,
ACTION, is up to you. Making out
a neat little list won't do a bit of
good If you put of using it until
Christmas Eve, when it's too late
to shop anywhere but at the corner
drug store.
First of all, decide whom you're
going to remember this Christmas.
Divide the list into three parts
family, friends who will receive
gifts and people to whom you'll
send greeting cards. Then budget
your money accordingly.
When selecting a gift try to use
originality. Read the newspaper ads
and do a lot Of shopping until you
find something really appropriate
and little out Of the ordinary.
If girl says upon receiving your
gift, How sweet of Bob to remem-
Der that I adore that kind of per-
fume," your gift has scored a direct
hit. If man says, That girls
certainly smart. She remembered
what said three months ago about
liking striped ties" it doesn't make
bit of difference how little you
paid for the tie.
The thought is the thing.
Try to compliment a persons pet
likes or favorite interest, selecting
gift which will clearly indicate
that what he or she likes and en-
joys is important to you Compli-
menting people subtly that way is
really clever.
Gifts can be mailed or personally
delivered. Most girls prefer to mail
theirs, while men enjoy playing
Santa Claus in person. If you dc
the latter, make your rounds on
Christmas Eve or around II O'Clock
on Christmas morning.
If the Girl Plays
Santa Claus.
You may feel free to give a boy
an inexpensive gift only if he has
dated you steadily and often, show
ing much more than casual in
terest. or if he is a friend of long

Suggestions: Gloves, a tie, hand

book. something which will increase
his enjoyment of a hobby, a desl

Five More Satisfactory Rules
For Holding Husbands Love

Yesterday we started a set of
rules on how to keep your husband
in love with you. We gave you FIVE.
Today here are five more:
Sixth. Cut the apron strings
when you get married. Be your
husbands wife instead of your
mothers daughter. If you feel that
you can't live away from mother
and the girls. stay with them and
keep from blighting some good
mans life and prospects in the
world. Don't feed your husband
up on your family Don't have
them always under foot and clut-
tering up the guest room.
Above all. never quote mothers
opinions. Every young husband is
jealous Of his authority in his own
household. and he can get more
green-eyed over his mother in law
than he can over a movie hero.
Seventh. Give him a run for his
money in his own home, for, after
