If you do shape them, don't dig too
deep at the corners. Avoid using a
steel file or any steel instruments,
and don't attempt to cut the cuticle

Greatest Faults of Husbands
And Wives Number 10 Each.

Eighth. They do aothing to make
their wives happy. They seem to think
that just being married to them Is all
the amusement and diversion that any
woman could crave.
Ninth. They are unmindful Of all
the little things on which women Get

Tenth. They make no effort to keep
their wives in love Hith them. Thy
think themselves 50 fascinating that
their wives couldn't possibly lose their
taste for them, no matter how they
are treated.
nEAR MISS D1X--I am woman Of
- "A. I have been twice married
and twice divorced. Somehow can
not seem to make NY marriages per-
manent. Could yon please tell me
how can get married and make my
marriage last? LONELY.
Answer-1f you nave been twice
married at the tender ass Of ~ you
certainly do not need any guide to
the altar. You seem to have what
It takes and to be an expert at eetting
your man.
Getting q husband is one thing. but
holding one is quite another pair Of
sleeves, as you have found out. When
we make failure Of any undertaking,
whether it be marriage or business,
it Is good thing to sit down and have
. heart-to-heart session with our.
selves and try to ind out how It
happened. And I would suggest this
procedure In your csSe.
Did you get tired first, or did your
husband? If you did, then you may
safely conclude that you are one Of
the tickle women who lack the power
to be faithful to any one man. Women
Of this type must always have change,
excitement, adventure. They can
never settle down to the humdrum
monotony Of domesticity, so they
should never NARY.
Perhaps the reason that your two
husbands threw up their hands and
quit 10 soon was because you did not
make marriage agreeable to them.
Maybe you stopped dolling yourself up
after marriage ana went slouching
about in untidy negligses. Perhaps
you did not make yourself an inter-
esting companion. Perhaps you were
. nagger, or too possessive, or too
extravagant. It takes . lot Of work
and tact on the wife's part to make .
man think that she d worth support
ing and that marriage y . good
investment.
The only suggestton that I can give
- to how 70 make: marriage last Is
for the wife to make her husband 20
comfortable and contsnted that he
wants to stay put.

-HE 10 greatest faults Of hus-
bands are: First. Being
imperfectly homogeneous. No
L matter how much the aver
age man loves and admires his wife.
nor how superior he considers her to
all other women, he still has An eye
out for a pretty girl. There is never
a place between the cradle and the
grave where a wife can sit down and
take marriage easy and feel that she
is absolutely safe.
Second. They slump. They get
seedy. Somehow marriage generally
seems to take the starch out Of q
man and make him feel that every
thing is over now and he doesn't have
to bother about his personal appear
ance. He forgets that wife 10 no
more allured by . three-day stubble
of beard on his face than he is by
cold cream on hers.
Third. They resent having lost their
personal liberty and they blame It all
on their wives. Every husbands
favorite story Is about how his wife
enticed him into the matrimonial
fold. No man ever married Of his
own volition.
FOURTH. Most men begrudse the
4 money it takes to support . fam.
lily. In spite of oil the harassed. bill.
bounded married men they knew, they
cherished the illusion that their wives
could run a house on air. Hence
when this miracle fails to materialize
and all Of their hard-earned money
goes for groceries. rent, sterilised milk
for the baby and having little John.
ny's adenoids out, instead Of for 4lsh.
ing trips and new sport cars, It turns
them sour and grumpy.
Fifth. They deny their wives any
financial independence. They make
their wives come to them like beggars
for every penny, and expect them to
say "thank you" for the money they
have earned ten times over by their
work In the home.
Sixth. They think that q home Is
q place where q man can dump all
the temper, nerves and irritation that
he dare not show the outside world,
and be just - disagreeable as hs
pleases. Many . man who sets every.
body else's dinner table in 4 roar
with his wit never speaks at his own
except to grumble over the food or
correct the children. Many man
who is noted for his chivalry to other
women doesn't treat his own wife with
even ordinary politeness.
Seventh. Thsy take their wives for
granted. They never pay them . COM

or display any appreciation Of all their
wives do for them, or indicate In any
manner that they regard their wives

has a car, which he has offered and
said he could drive the wedding party.
Would this be too irregular?
Answer-Taking it for granted that
both your father and the bridegroom
know how to drive car. 1t would be
best, think, to choose whichever
car of the aunts is the smaller, and
your father drive you to the church
in this alone. The car would be left
standing in front of the church as is
customary. At the end of the service
you and the bridegroom alone would
get into this car and drive back to
the house. Your mother and father
and both aunts would then follow in
the second car. driven by the aunt
who owns it, and the usher's car would
go third. carrying the bridesmaids.
This arrangement cannot possibly be
considered irregular. After all, very
few people, have chauffeurs.
DEAR MRS. POST When q wedding
~ is big one, in church. I can un-
derstand that the presence of both the
divorced mother and father Of the
blide may not prove awkward, but in
my case father and mother have been
divorced for some years and they are
not friendly in any sen.e of the word.
I am having q very small wedding In
the chapel, 50 do you think 1t best not
to invite my father? I live with
mother. 3
Answer-Unless you wish to repu-
diate your father utterly, he should be
granted his right to go to the church
with you, walk up the aisle with you
and give you away, and then take his
place several pews behind the front
one occupied by your mother, and in
this way avoid being seated near to-
gether. It is unfortunately necessary
that she endure his presence during
the few minutes he passes close beside
her and stands directly in front of her
at the beginning Of the ceremony.
After this she need not see him again,
and as he stands with his back to her
he will not see her. Since the recep-
ton undoubtedly will TAX place ut
your mothers, your father will not go
there. On the other hand, If in your
parents divorce you have actually
taken sides against your father, If you
never see him and do not love him,
then you may deliberately choose to
ignore him, but unless you have unfor-
givable cause. 1t would be . conspicu-
ously cruel thing p.do.

ing him greeting cards without in
cluding her. She says she IS sure
they are people who don't know he is
married and she thinks he ought to
tell them, because wedding announce
ments were not sent out when they
were married several years ago. He
thinks it would be nonsense to pay any
attention, since old friends should have
the right to remember him. They are
all people he never sees and with
whom he has never corresponded. It
u too late to send wedding announce,
ments, but u there nothing else my
friend can do. becauss really think
every time this situation occurs she

him to send out some return greeting
cards on suitable occasions, signed
by him and her together. At Christ.
