Manners a
of the
Moment

It's always little surprising. and
sometimes rather discouraging, when
your friends make up their minds
exactly what type of things, places
and people you like best.
They come back from vacations.
for example, with pictures of gay
moments at resort and they say,
It's Just the sort of place you would
love" And then they describe all
the sports you like the least and the
Jolly people, all of whom sound like
your pet aversions, and almost in
sist on your going there on your
next vacation.
That may be disheartening, be-
cause you feel that even your friends
don't really understand you after
all. But it's even more depressing
when your friend adds, rather care
lessly, "Of course. didn't like it very
we'll. because you know l can't
stand noise But you'd really love it."
You want to sit up and say. Hey.
What do YOU think l am?" But of
course you don't. You let it ride
And you come home and VOW that
never will you ever again tell any
one what you think she'd like. You
won't describe perfect apartments
for her. or the very hat that would
suit her. No. You'll leave the
other person to her own tastes.
Which. l should say, is a very
good vow. JEAN.

Dorothy Dix Says
Disillusionment in Marriage Due
To Frauds During Courtship

Before marriage John lavished
presents on her and stepped out
with her every night. After mar
riaee he asked her where was that
quarter he gave her week before last.
He told her that a wife's place was
at home in the kitchen. Before
marriage he was tender and con-
siderste. After marriage he was a
grinding tyrant with temper like
a sore-headed bear
There is such difference between
what men and women think they
are getting in marriage and what is
really handed to them that you
can't wonder that so many of them
who have been taken in in a conf
dence game where they have lost
their shirts, want to get out of 1t
while they still have their hides.
So it is true, as the learned Judge
says, that virtually every marriage
Is based more or less on a fraud
When We are trying to sell ourselves
to the party of the other part, we
do put up as good front as we
can. We doll ourselves up in our
best clothes. We adorn ourselves
In our Sunday manners, and dish
out our most alluring line Of
conversation Otherwise we would
probably all be old maids and old
bachelors.

like this, with an hour-glass waist

free, spirited look of one walking

The clever little bodice is designed

Refusing to annul the marriage Of
a woman who claimed that her hus-
band had married her for lucre
instead of love, the learned Judge
declared: Every marriage is based
more or less on a fraud. Every man
and woman always put their best
foot forward during courtship."
Oh, wise Judge! A second Daniel
come to judgment! For no marriage
would remain intact II either one
of the high contracting parties could
get a divorce by proving that they
had been lured into the holy estate
by misrepresenta tions.
Or, worse still, there would be no
more marriages at all If men and
women showed themselves to each
other before marriage just as they
are, without high lighting their good
points and camouflaging their bad
ones. Moreover. In this they are
often following the law Of Nature.
which adorns even the birds during
mating season with gorgeous plu-
mage that they shed as soon as they
get settled in their little home nests.
Why, we can't even imagine a court
ship conducted on real honest
basis. No girl would say ''yes" to
Truthful James who would pop the
question by saying: We'll, Sarah,
you are no treat to the eyes and
your disposition is nothing to brag
about. but you look strong and
healthy and you are a good cook.
I think that if we get married we
will get along about as we'll as most
folks, so what do you say to trying
it?"
Most of the divorces are granted
to men and women who are sore
over the disillusions and disappoint-
ments of marriage. Which simply
means that they are trying to dis
continue payments on bill OF
goods they have been sold that were
not what they were represented
to be.
Before marriage Mary was sweet
tempered and soft-spoken. After
marriage she was a shrew and a
virago. Before marriage she had
laughed at all of Johns witticisms
and looked up to him as an oracle
After marriage she told him that
she had heard all of his jokes while
she was still In the cradle, and she
quoted other mems opinions to him.

Every one knows that dogs don't
like baths One way OF marking
the individual out from the COM
mon herd is the remark, My dog
just loves a bath" 1t is delivered
with boastful smugness.
Nobody believes it. Battles have
been too many and varied, ranging
all the way from the type in which
the soap-covered one leaps from
the zinc tub in the back yard of
small town and is pursued down
the street to the business of wash
ing a shepherd in the sunken
bath of a hotel suite. The bathed
dog spends all of his time in active
rebellion, or In passive protest by
collapsing in an attempt to drown

main objection on the books is the

granted that the water is right. tenn

All appointments may be perfect.
but dogs still dislike being deposited
in water They never can be sure
just how far down 1t goes until they
touch Bottom. And they don't want
to touch bottom Besides, how can
they be sure as to how long it re-
main at certain level if it ever
reaches one? If they can brace their
forepaws up on the side of the tub
they feel better At least two of
the feet are on comparatively dry
surface.
Best of all is putting the dog in
the tub first and letting the water
run IN gradually. Apparently this
gives him an idea of what it's all
about He starts out dry and the
chances are that he will be dry
again. But whether it's water be-
fore or after. put rough towel or
mat on the bottom of the tub so
he won't slither about.
Water, of course, should be warm

Soap must be mild. Dogs have sensi-
tive skin. Don't use anything which
looks or feels like sandpaper. Use
a good flea powder, and keep Pups
