Dear Miss Blake:
We had been going together
for about two years. One fine
spring morning we looked at
an apartment because someone
had suggested it. The girl was
impressed with the place and
said: Lets take it," I asked,
"For your room mates?" She
then rejoined, mo, for US" I
told her that I couldn't very well
live with her unless I married
her. To which she quietly re-
piled, $50 what?"
They say that man chases
woman until she finally catches
him. And he doesn't seem to

husbands in the making quite
as often as men marry worthless
girls. It's the case of the moth

From time to time, I've read
letters in your column from men
who ask where can they find
the old-fashioned girl of yeSter-
day? They want a girl like
dear old mother. who can sew,
cook, be a ministering angel in
sickness, who loves home and
doesn't want to spend her eve
nings in a night club. But I'd
like to know how far girls of
this type get. Men hardly bother
to speak to them at parties;
they're so busy trying to get
sporty girls to sit out dances in
parked cars, or go along to road
houses.
Why don't these men have the
courage of their own depraved
tastes and say, "We want fast
girls, the faster, the better" in
stead of spending all their time
and money on this type and
growing sentimental over girls
like mother"

THE lasting m arriage
l. filled with contentment
for two people is the one that
has simplicity for its key
note. Complications, too
many selfish desires, too
many experiments clutter up
a marriage and confuse it
until discord is bound to
evolve.
"a Happy Wife" is the name
signed to a simple letter Of q
good marriage that has lasted
80 years. It wasn't wealth, beau
tiful cars, parties, popularity or
anything Of that sort that kept
the couple together all these
years. It was simply they loved
each other. It was so unseEish
and made so few demands. Read
her letter. It will do you good.
Here's
Good Recipe
"Dear Mr.. Antheil: All men
are not tickle. My husband
and I have been married for 80
years. All through our trials in
our married life we have loved
each other. I still make biscuits
for his breakfast because he likes
them. He still remembers to
do the little things I enjoy. In
our youth we were always loyal
to each other. Both Of us were
attractive to the opposite sex
but we never failed each other.
He stayed home nights with me.
I never demanded he do that
but somehow he loved to be at
home with me.
There is nothing so satisfy
ing to a man than a wife,
pleasant words, good books and
simple living. We had the mis-
fortune to lose our children
which grief welded us more
closely together. We are happy
as time marches on.

am almost smirking with CRATE
fulness that you give us men
such a fine compliment when
you say that all we need to make
us good husbands are the sim
pie joys Of plain living.
I have always had the secret
idea that it was the women who
made life difficult by keeping
on adding things to our homes
(and I don't mean just children).
I know a great many of my fem
inine readers will have fits when
they read this. But after all
isn't it the women who make our
homes the masses Of compli-
Gated entertainment, furniture
and nervous breakdowns? They
always want to go one better
than Mrs. Jones, adding an extra
difficult bit Of embroidery to q
towel, or making a salad that
will knock your eye out with its
decorative value and knock
your digestion with its mixture.
Hot Biscuits

You, MRS. Happy Wife,"

woman. In the final analysis a
good, hot tender biscuit would
make any man a slave to the
maker while her greatest efforts
on a fancy dessert would leave
him suspicious Of the work Of
art.
7 warrant you that never in
your life did you say, II won't
be a slave to any man, making
biscuits in a hot kitchen for
him"
BY the way, are biscuits and
such things like ginger bread,
spice cookies and beef stew with
gobs Of rich gravy, hard to
make? I don't know much
about cooking but they are the
things that please men, second
only to steak which I can broil
myself.
Why don't women cater to the
men and make these simple
foods-or are they catering to
the inner women-I don't mean
her stomach either-when they
make all the high faluting junk
they go for these days.

ILLUSTRATED TALK
 ON IRISH SCENERY
CoIOred Views of Historic Spots Are Given at
 Church Forum

Two trips to Ireland, during which the tour covered 2500 miles, were responsible for the colored slides with which Mrs. Branson De Cou, wife of Branson De Cou who originated the dream pictures, il- lustrated her lecture, Ireland Beautiful, presented last night at Second Congregational church forum.
 Describing Ireland of today, as she showed pictures of rural sec- tions for from the usual course of tourist travel, Mrs. De Cou re- marked that increased use of Gae- lie is making it more difficult for the American tourist to understand and to make himself understood, in the less- travelled parts of Ireland. She said that people of Ireland are cordial and friendly and that in most of the houses of the rural sec tions water is kept heated for the occasion of someone dropping in for tea.
 Views shown in color included Blarney castle, the Killarney lakes, cliffs of Moher and numerous pie lures of gardens and the stone and thatch houses of the country proper.
 Mrs. DeCou was introduced by Rev. pr. John c. Walker, pastor. and her talk was preceded by solo by Marjorie Nash Nuhn.

Delegates to Consider Formal Petition for Aid
 Friday Evening

A meetign of representatives of the Bakers and Confectionery Workers, Local No. 155, an Ameri- can Federatio nof Labor affiliate, and delegates to the Central Labor Union of Waterbury, will be held next Friday evening at the Trades Council hall on Scovill street. Over lures will be made to have the Gen. tral Labor Union endorse the cam paign of the bakers, who were for merly employed by the Bonk Bak- ing company.
 The question of non-union prod ucts being offered for sale in Wa terbury will be placed before the Central Labor body. Members of the associated unions will be sup piled with the names of baking companies of union sympathies and urged to appeal to their friends to patronize them.
 When the Bond Baking company closed its bake shop here two weeks ago some forty employees were given unexpected vacations. They claimd that the firm promised to place them in other plants. but to date no action has been taken.
 The bakers are now appealing to associated unions for support.

 It remained to be seen ill the next few test votes whether Dala- dier's move would succeed The Socialists and Communists, staging anti government demonstrations, indicated their desire to keep the popular front.
 Daladier sketched the general lines of his policies, but they must be clearly defined before he faces the Chamber and Senate. That was why he made a radio appeal for support to the nation last night and called the cabinets first meeting today.
 It was understood that he would demand extraordinary powers, ap- preaching those of a dictator, to rule the nation for a short period, proba- bly, one of six months.
 He will seek voting emergency bills to provide immediate funds to meet month-end bills. It was believed likely that he would adopt many of Blum's policies but, contrasting 10 the former premier's demand for full powers, Daladier would ask only for limited powers for & specified time,

In addi- tion large amounts of air mail from other parts of the state are dispatched by train to New York and Boston.

 The new cabinet was formed in record time, slightly more than a day after Blu1ns government was overthrown by Senate hostile to his drastic financial policies.
