* though married: Don't marry
girl who fires your fancy,
- but who does not come up to
your ideal. in the mistaken belief that
you can change her into what you
want her to be after you are married.
No man is enough of q miracle
worker to perform that feat. What a
girl Is before marriage she is going
to be after marriage, only more so.
So If you want parlor ornament
in a wife, select one to start with.
If what you need is q kitchen utensil,
pick out one. Don't befool yourself
into thinking that your SeWes vase
is going to turn into an iron pot as
soon as you get it home.
Don't marry girl just because she
has pretty face and few cute tricks.
When a man bets his all on a wom-
ans looks he is bound to lose out be-
cause time, domesticity and child
bearing rob the fairest of their beauty

you can get mighty tired of looking at
a living picture. no matter how we'll
it Is painted up. So look out for
what is under the finger waves unless
you want to be driven to drink by
sheer boredom.
Don't marry clinging vine. It is
very soothing to your ego and makes
you feel about Z feet high and as
strong as Joe Louis to have a sweet,
little, spineless, feminine creature
festoon herself around you, tell you
how big and wise and wonderful you
are. and how she looks up to you and
depends upon you. But watch out!
That kind of a girl makes wife who
sinks her husband. She never pulls
her weight in the boat. She ducks
all the work and responsibilities of
marriage and her husband has to do
the dishwashing and baby-tending
when he gets home at night. When
you meet one of the poor me" girls
take to the tall timber. Scram while

nON'T marry bossy girl. If Ara
bella is one Of the efficiency ex-
perts who runs her own family, is
president of all the clubs she belongs
to and gets UP all the church fairs, and
more especially if she begins before
marriage telling you things for your
own good, decides where you shall go,
what you shall do and orders the
meals at a restaurant when you step
out, beware, unless you feel that you
are cut out to be one Of the henpecked

husbands who always say "our" pants
and who dare not lift their voices in
their own houses
Don't marry a girl whose temper is
hung on a hair-trlgger and is liable
to go of at moments notice; who
Is given to moods that would take a
fortune teller to forecast. The blues
are not the theme song for q happy
home. Nor does any man want to
spend his life walking on eggs around
his wife trying to keep from stepping
on her feelings or doing something
that will arouse her. So if you never
know how the Girl Friend is going
to take anything and if you are al
ways spatting with her. pass her up.
1t will save you heartaches and ALI
mony.
Don't marry girl who dresses be-
yond her means unless you are willing
to spend the remainder of your life
Shaving for dress shops and milliners.
Don't kid yourself into thinking that
the girl who has gone into debt for
imported finery before marriage will
be satisfied with basement bargains
after marriage. The clothes mania in
women is just as incurable as the dope
habit. So when you see a poor girl
dress like Mrs. Millionbucks, step from
under and leave some other man to
pay her bills.
nON'T marry a girl who isn't Jolly
and good-natured. 1t is her dis
position you will have to live with.
1t Is a lot more important that she
be sweet and amiable and have a
funny bone than that she be beauti-
ful and have a Ph.D. degree. There
are lots of things in married life that
a wife has either to laugh off or make
a tragedy of, so pick out the girl who
makes jokes instead of funerals out
Of misadventures.
Don't marry a girl who has the
family complex. If you do Mother
will always run your house, the sisters
will camp in the guest room and the
brothers hold you up for money.
Don't marry girl who hates do
mesticity and who isn't on speaking
terms with a gas range. When YOU
marry you put your digestion into your
wife's hands and what she does with
1t determines whether you will be a
nervous wreck or going strong at 40.
Finally and above all, DON'T marry
a girl who can't entertain you, who
hasn't the same tastes and habits Won
nave and who doesn't like the same
people and to do the same things that
you do. Boredom wrecks more mar
rlages than anything else in the world

after that we would dwell on the grow
ing appreciation OF beauty that is
sweeping America and is evident not
only in art as we see it in the gal
leries, but in our homes that are be-
coming lovelier backgrounds for an in
creased appreciation of beauty in
clothes. Women are learning to think
of beauty in its relation to every phase
Of their lives. Artists and dress de-
signers work hand in hand Designers
never fail to visit important art ex-
hibits and always pick up some new
ideas of intriguing color combinations
or suggestions from the beauties of the
past.
This spring we find fashion in a
frenzy of swift movement. BY this we
do not mean swift changes from past
trends, but rather the subtle introduce
ton of more fullness that becomes evi-
dent when the silhouette is in motion.
Watch any showing of the new clothes;
notice what large proportion of the
skirts are pleated or cut with many
cores to give an outward swing. Gath
ers, too, give freedom of movement
in skirts that has been absent for
many years. In dresses the fullness is
often at the front of the skirt. and in
coats it is found at the back. In either
case, if March goes out like lion. it
will catch you coming or going and
show up the yardage in your new out
fit like sail against the wind.

7 Asst week was chosen by a num-
ber of shops to present their
spring fashions on mannequins, with
all the added interest of special deco
rations and music. 1t was unfortu-
nate that three of these occurred on
the same day, and that particular
day was one of the nastiest that we
have had in a long while However,
the weather did not seem to dampen
the ardor of women. for all of these
showings were well attended.
The one We visited first was in
one of the smaller shops specializing
in particularly Wearable clothes for
women who like nice things but do
not want to pay too high price for
them. They showed lots of smart
black and navy street dresses with
touches of white or color, like huge
pink bow of faille across the front
that could be removed for laundering.

Most of the time we three got along well

never saw his wife, but George met her with
Barnes at Jacques Cabaret over on White
acre Street one Saturday night. He said she
was beautiful. He said she sat at table with
Barnes all evening, tall and slender and dark.
Barnes talked and laughed that hearty laugh
of his; his eyes fixed on her face like an ador-
ing hound dog. but she didn't look at him.
Her dark, oval face was impassive, uninter-
ested, almost sullen. She had jet black eyes,
but when she looked at you there were golden
specks in them, George said. He wondered
how Barnes had managed to marry her until
he heard she came from little town. Barnes
had probably seemed like the best she coulddo.
Stewart, when he wasn't sore at Barnes,
would talk about women. He was handsome
man, and lady-killer He had new girl
every month or so. When most of us got
involved with woman we floundered around
like fish in rowboat But Stewart would
make clean break. They'd call him on the
telephone just once. don't know what he'd
say to them, but they'd never call again.
They'd simply disappear from his world.
That was the kind of thing they'd talk
about until the night Barnes played the joke
on Tony, sending him down to the morgue
to identify his wife Of course, his wife wasn't
there. She'd run away from Tony three years
before and hadn't been heard of since. 1t was
Just Barnes's idea of joke. 1t certainly upset

The next afternoon there was phone call
for Emma. 1t was Barnes initiating Kent
Porter's voice. He asked Emma if she would
like to 20 to Hollywood with him. He said she
resembled his mother and was the only girl
he'd seen with whom he felt safe and would
she go?
LAS your seuetary?" Emma asked over
the telephone.
"As my wife, said Barnes in Porter s voice.
Emma's face got pale and her eyes filled
with tears and she ran into old Bronsons
Office and quit her job and took a cab over
to the Palace Hotel, George said Only Kent
Porter had left for Hollywood on the morn
ing train.
Barnes thought this was great joke even
though Emma was too ashamed to come back
to work and had to go live with her folks in
Vermont when she couldn't get another job.
He did pull some good jokes. You are bound
to hit upon funny gag if you keep trying
long enough. He certainly tried. He had all
the snall-boy tricks: electric shock machines,
imitation ink wells that looked as though they
had been overturned, and had spilled ink
over everything, exploding cigars, a water
shooting stickpin device that buzzed when
vou shook hands with him - don't remem-
Der how many other things. And the faces
he'd make! Suddenly he'd stare under the
copy desk with bulging eyes, pretending there
= was snake or something on the floor. Or he'd
pretend he was dying of a heart attack. Once
he put soap in his mouth and pretended ne
was mad. It got so nobody would pay any
attention to him.
Nobody except Stewart. 1t was Barnes $

PLAYED the joke on Tony Paletta. Barnes
laughed that hearty laugh of his and hung
up the telephone and said, will Tony be
surprised when he gets down to the morgue
and finds it isn't his wife" He hit his thigh
with the soft palm of his hand.
That's not funny Stewart said. Its
damn dirty trick. Try joke on me and I'll
beat your brains out
Barnes just laughed. never could make
out if he was afraid of Stewart. He hadn't
played joke on him up to this night l am

because he had been waiting for the night

he was put on the dogwatch in May. Until
then saw him only short time each day and
his hands were the one thing noticed about
him. They were very soft and white, like the
well-cared-for hands of an old woman.
George used to tell me about his jokes
George didn't like him very well because OF
the joke he played on Emma Doyle She DID
obits and interviews for the paper and her
eyes watered when she looked at anybody
and there was always a wisp of mud-colored
hair across her cheek Barnes played the joke
on her in January, on the day after she had
interviewed Kent Porter, the motion picture
star, at the Palace Hotel. She had come back
to the Office, George said, full of cocktails and
very excited over the intimate conversation
she had had with Porter. He was the kind OF
man she hadn't believed existed out of novels,
she told George, pushing back the wisp OF
hair that was like smudge of SCOT across her
cheek. She was so excited she couldn't work
her typewriter and when Cowles, one OF the
rewrite men, offered to do her story and asked
her what she wanted to write, all she could

Finding his dream girl married to me-.
The idea was to carry it on for two more
weeks. IN give him one more date with her"
he said. That's all"
The next day he let the rest of the office in
on the secret Everybody thought it was
good joke on Stewart, figuring it was time ne
took beating from a woman. And from then
on Barnes chuckled all the time. He was Ger
tainly pleased with his joke. l think ne felt
the night Stewart came to dinner and was In
troduced to Mrs Barnes would more than
even the nasty remarks he had taken from
him.
In fact the score was being evened right
along. One night Barnes was talking about
some corn bread his wife had cooked.
who wants to be married to hag who
can cook?" Stewart said. You can always
hire cook
MARY Louis pretty" Barnes said. I'll
bet YOU she's lust as pretty as the girl who's
always calling you up"
Don't be dumb" Stewart said. mo girl
with looks would marry slob like you.
Barnes laughed and slapped his thigh.
One night shortly after Barnes had let the
Office in on the joke. George dropped in to see
me on his way home from party. 1t was
Stewart 5 night off, and George said he'd seen
him and Barnes's wife dancing at the Il Cluo.
"She can act" he said. YOU'D think she
was nuts about Stewart. They danced cheek
to cheek and most of the time she had her
eyes closed"
Later asked Barnes when he was going TO
hold the dinner for Stewart.
AFTER he's had the date with her," Barnes
said.
II thought you told me last week you we're
only going to let Stewart have one more
date" said.

remember Stewart looking
puzzled while he talked. l heard
one sentence he said: But
assure you l am nice when you
know me-"
When he finished he came up
to the city desk.
More girl trouble?" asked.
"Idon't know" he said. That
dame called me just to say she
doesn't like me"
For a week the woman called
Stewart every night to tell him
how much she disliked him. He
was intrigued and tried to make
a date with her. Each time the
conversation was longer. Then,
about the tenth day. she let him
take her out to supper. He came
to work that night very excited,
saying she was the best looking
girl he'd ever seen. But she
hadn't promised him another
date; had only agreed that he
might possibly take her out to
supper again.
Il don't understand what she
wants." Stewart said. Il Ger
tainly never saw her before"
Barnes burst out laughing.
What's so funny" Stewart
asked.
Barnes just laughed.
After a couple of more weeks
could see Stewart was hard
hit. With all his other girls he
had set the pace, dictated how
often and where they'd meet.
But this one was different. She
dictated. He'd been able to take
her out to supper twice more.
but that was all. She wouldn't
tell him her name or where She
lived, or when they could have
another date.
I've never seen a girl like
her" he said.
Barnes shouted with laughter
and slapped his thigh with his
soft hand and later that night,
while Stewart was out for coffee,
he told me about her.
His wife was the woman on
the phone. 1t was all a joke on
Stewart. The idea was to get him
