resented marriage to them as a per-
petual petting party. They were led
to believe that they were securing
great lovers as life companions who
would spend their time telling them
how beautiful and wonderful and
how different from all other women
they were, breathing VOWS of pas
sionate alteration into their ears.
And when they find they are
united to just plain. ordinary citi-
zens who are about as romantic as
ham sandwich, who drop all love-
making at the altar and never men
ton the temperature of their affec-
tlons again, who take them for
granted and who hand out more
knocks than bouquets, why. they just
naturally feel that they have been
gypped and are sore about it.
Another thing that is the matter
with wives is that they have not
fitted themselves for the career to
which they have elected themselves.
They haven't learned their trade
They don't know how to keep house
cook, market or run a budget. They
are just as ignorant of how to house
break husband as they are of how
to tame lion. They are bungling
amateurs in the most complicated
OF all professions. And so it is NO
wonder that they wear themselves
out and get discouraged, nervous
cross and fretful, wrestling with a
task that an expert could turn out
with one hand tied behind her.
Another thing that is the matter
with wives is that their husbands
SO seldom give them the glad hand
No other laborer on earth tolls SC
many hours a day as does the do
mestic woman who does her own
cooking. washing. sewing, mending
and baby-tending. but her husband
rarely gives her any credit for per-
forming Herculean tasks that woulG
give him a case of nervous pros
tration.
On the contrary, he assumes that
she leads life of idleness and
ease and often expresses the wish
that he had it soft as she does
| Now it Is human nature to lons
for appreciation, to want the stim-
ulus of praise for work we'll done
as the reason many a wife slacks
down in her housekeeping and sets
the same soggy food on her table
day after day is because she has
got tired of steWing over the kitchen
stove preparing scrumptious din
ner for man who will gobble II
down like a pig. without even giving
a grunt of satisfaction.
The reason that many wives
slump and lose all the charms for
which their husbands married them
IS because their husbands do not
play up to them. A wife can't &c
on being romantically in love with
a man who treats her as If she
were just useful household gadget
Nor can she put much enthusiasm
into a kiss that she has to proffer
herself and that lands on his cheek
or the bald spot on his head instead
of his lips. DOROTHY DIX.

Manners
OF the
Moment

Pushing your man into the barber
shop probably isn't the smartest way
to make him get a haircut But
sometimes it seems the only way.
I really thing a man usually looks
a bit peeled just after he comes out
Of barber shop. And I'm inclined
to prefer a mans trim a few days
after it is new.
But just because like little hair
on a mans head doesn't mean that
I like to see a fringe hanging over
his collar.
Perhaps better way to handle an
anti-haircut man than to push him
into the barber shop is to poster him
into it. You might bring out the
curling iron and offer to curl up the
ends of his hair. Or you might sug-
gest a Encouragement of his locks
now that they are so long. If you
keep this up for several days, he'll
come home al clipped and shoru

Child Learns
Ways From
Parents
Guard Against the
Acts He Should
Never Initiate
By ANGELO PATRI.

Children learn most of what they
know by imitation. They think that
their fathers and mothers are the
finest people on earth, so they i'm
itate them first That puts a great
responsibility upon parents. Fathers
are less likely to take this seriously
than mothers. Mothers being very
close to the children, soon discover
that their slightest word, their most
f1eeting expression, is noted and i'm
itated, and are consequently more
careful. Fathers are careless about
it because they do not understand.
Johnny is a healthy youngester of
5 years. He eats and sleeps and
plays and behaves like one. His
father is his pattern. All of life is
measured by what my father" says
and does. He walks, talks, stands
and sits as his father does even to
the hitch of his very abbreviated
shorts.
Recently at the dinner table father
said, you know, Minna, If there is
one dish that I detest it is lamb
hash. Id rather go hungry than
eat it."
Its wash day. Larry, and we have
to use up the lamb, you know. And
it is really good hash"
Yes. know, but you can give my
share to the cat and welcome. I'll
take it out on the vegetables"
A full month afterward mother
and Johnny were visiting grand
mother and stayed for lunch. Lamb
hash. Il know you like it, Minna
so used up the lamb I had in the
icebox."
"Yes, indeed, mother, I'll eat lamb
hash any day in the week, especially
If you make it."
Here you are, Johnny. A big por-
ton for you,' and grandmother
beamed upon her favorite grand
child.
"Grandmother, you know, if there
is one dish that I detest it is lamb
hash. I'd rather go hungry than
eat it. Yes, I know. Give my share
w Wiz pussy anu WClCOlllC.
Grandmother spoon hung in the
air; her eyes opened wide, in amaze
ment. Mother caught her breath
then laughed, long and loudly
That's just what your father said
Johnny. But he ate the lamb hash
just the same, didn't he? He had
too much good sense to go hungry
and give it to the cat. Come on
Lunch's getting cold. I like my
lamb hash hot"
Johnny looked doubtful, then the
good example, the savory smell OF
onion, thyme and Drowned lamb
overcame him for the instant and
he ate his hash. But 1t was a close
shave.
One must be on guard where
children are. Speech, manners, at
titudes, actions and thoughts are
direct influences upon children's
minds. What we do today they do
tomorrow and we are responsible
for the effect. Each of us has his
likes and dislikes for people, food,
tasks, whatnot. We would be very
stupid if we could not discriminate
enough for that.

A novel glass cigarette box, fash
ioned like wagon, has glass wheels

There are still few hours left
for last-minute shopping, so be sure
that you have a Christmas gift fol
your dog! There are all sorts OF
rubber toys. and if your pooch is
partial to chocolate, get him the
| chocolate Favored variety. For that
extra special treat there are boxes
of candy especially prepared fol
dogs to put under the Christmas
tree. -.
just the thing for buffet suppers
are the two glass bowls with wooden
fork and spoon. One bowl fits in
side of the other with sufficient
room to pack ice around the inner
bowl to keep the contents cold.
To give a little festive touch tt
the end of meal, put a tiny Pekine
glass animal in each finger bowl
These knick-knacks are charming

leaf of single flower dropped in
the bowl. ..

If You Don't Happen Like Mce Pie Plum PuddngWhat
Bright Red

Apply Colorless
Type First For
Longer Wear
By PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Right now you probably wish
Christmas would never come. You
are weary from planning for it, dis
couraged because your shopping
didn't turn out as successfully as you
anticipated, and tired in body, mind
and spirit. That's just the state you
shouldn't be 1n-for how on earth
do you expect to celebrate the holi-
day? What you need Is at least five
hours of relaxation.
I don't have to tell you to begin
with exercise, to follow with relaxing
bath and end with making your face
and hands pretty! That's the usual
routine. But 60 through with it!
And If you can top it all with little
snooze so much the better. Impos-
sible as 1t may seem to you now,
you'll whip things into shape in a
jiffy after this indulgence of body
and spirit!
Please don't go to Christmas par
ties, or visits, or sit at Christmas
dinner with hands that need atten-
ton! The bright true reds that are
so currently the vogue should be in
spiration enough to dress up your
hands for the holidays!
Anoint them with creams and oils,
after good lathery scrubbing with
a brush, and if you can afford the
time, slip into a pair of gloves and
let your hands be well fabricated.
1t doesn't take more than 20 min
utes to give your nails a thorough
grooming. Push back the cuticle
while it is still saturated with oil,
brush beneath the nails with a little
bleach to Danish a tell-tale rim, and
smooth away all hangnails. Cuticle
remover is marvellous aid and if
you have that ard an accurate pair
OF nippers you should be able to keep
your cuticle under control-a fitting
frame for a gaily polished nail!
If your nails are slightly discolored
use an opaque polish in a shade fiat
tering to your hand skin tone. Paint
it on carefully leaving only a small
moon on each nail and a slight hair
line tip showing. Thus your nails
will look more oval and attractive.
Most deep polish shades will last
longer and 60 on more smoothly if
you use clear, colorless base on the
nail first. This base also protects
them from stain. When you apply
polish rest your hand on a table
which is higher than a bridge table.
II your hand is not more than 9
inches from your bended head you
will be able to paint on the color
more surely and easily.
| Once the color is on-simply relax
| for good 10 minutes to let it dry
well-otherwise it might smear. If
it sets we'll Immediately after you
apply it it will remain unchipped or

for the rugs?
MRS. E. r. F.
Answer: There are hooked rugs
made just as well today as they were
so years ago. The important point
is to be sure that you get one of
these, and are able to judge a good
one. There are splendid rugs made
in the southern highlands, there
are still fine ones made in Nova
Scotia and parts of New England
and Canada. Also, replicas Of the
American hooked rugs are being
made in China and Japan. In pur-
chasing rugs. look at the backing
carefully and see that the rugs are
hooked tightly, that is, that the
loops are packed tightly so that the
backing does not show through. See
that there are no loose ends: that
the colors are fast, and the material,
If rags, is not worn or might wear
to leave bald spots Immediately.
Hooked rugs are made Of both
wool and cotton, and many Of the
AofSly SoIIOlt w llOO lldNC W NC
taken up in summer. They are
made of new yarn and of old soft
dyed rags. Consider all these points
in purchasing and buy of reputa-
BILE firm that is proud of its mer-
chandise. Hooked rugs may not be
shaken; they should be brushed by
hand or cleaned with carpet
sweeper. Powerful vacuum cleaners
or harsh brooms tend to pull out
the loops, and if this happens, they
should be caught back into place
with needle and heavy thread i'm
mediately. A fine rug, with good
care, will wear lifetime-and they
have charm with early American
furniture which is not found in any
other type Of rug.

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
am planning to repaint all the
woodwork in my living room a cream
color. 1t is now a deep cherry red
mahogany shellac. 1 do not wish to
even attempt to remove the finish
now on it. Is there anything that
I may paint on over this which will
cover the red surface efficiently and
quickly? I have a horror of that
red showing through.
j. H.
Answer: Ask your paint dealer for
an undercoat that will not permit
the shellac to penetrate. There are
some that are recommended as they
have bite" That is, they dig
into the finish and seal it, at the
same time they have good covering
quality. However, I think you will
need two coats of undercoat and two
of the finish coat to get a good Job.
