A prominent woman is reported TO
have said that she married her hus-
band because she knew he would
never bore her. Smart woman!
That's about the best reason in the
world for any woman picking out
man with whom she expects to
spend the next 80 or 40 years, for a
wife may tire Of husband who is a
he-saint; she may yawn in the face
of a learned scholar; she may even
get fed up with one who showers
her with limousines and mink coats
and things; but she never wearies
of the husband who keeps her en-
tertained and amused. So I COM
mend the example of the astute lady
who put snappy line OF converse
ton at the top of the desirable
qualities of husband, to all young
girls who are on the husband hunt.
Pass over the good-time Charles
whose brains are in their heels and
whose step matches yours so well in
the dance. You'll spend many
more evenings at home than you will
at night clubs after you are mar
ried, and walk the collie oftener than
you will do the rumba. Don't fall
for Johnnys Greek profile and way
ing locks. He'll turn bald and
paunchy on you, sure as Shooting.
And even If he doesn't, living pic
ture husband is a pain in the neck
and a case of insomnia to his wife.
Don't choose a romantic lover for a
husband in the belief that you'll be
fed on honeyed words all the bal
ance of your life. He dishes out all
Of his goo before marriage and never
mentions the state of his affections
again. Don't even espouse go
getter unless you feel that you'll en-
joy spending your evenings with q
Tired Business Man who only grunts
when you speak to him, and who is
about as conversational as stuffed
shirt.
But choose a man for a husband
who will be a good provider. who
will not only feed your body on
beefsteak and onions, but your soul
on white hyacinths.
Pick out as life mate a man who
loves the sound Of his own voice
who is interested in little things
who has a sense of humor and q
faculty Of picking up bits of gossip
and bringing them home to retail
to his wife over the dinner table
The great silent men are thrilling

figures in novels and the movies,
but they don't fit into home life.
Now, of course, it is difficult for
girl to tell beforehand just what sort
of a matrimonial bargain she is
getting, because in the glamour OF
courtship every man looks like a
fairy prince. Also, as long as man
Is telling a girl how beautiful and
wonderful she is, he is a SPELL
binder to whom she could listen for
ever.
But after marriage. when the
lover ceases to chant his sweetie's
praises, only too often she finds out
that she has married a dummy who
has nothing to say that she has
the slightest interest in listening to,
and who bores her to tears.
This is why every girl should stop
asking the boy friend: DO you love
me? Are you utterly, positively GER
tain that you paSsionately adore me
as no woman was ever loved before,
and that you will never, never,
never changer" long enough to get
his views on current topics and dis
cover if he can discourse entertain
ingly on any other subject except
herself. For what husband says
after marriage is not always fiat
tering nor even entertaining and
amusing.
Why women lay so little stress
Nxrhn int
esting to live with is hard to under
stand, since every woman knows
that boredom is the thing that is at
the bottom of most of the domestic
misery and that it causes nine
tenths of the divorces.
It's the husbands and wives who
bore each other who fight like cats
and dogs to find some relief for
their overtaxed nerves. It's the
husbands and wives with nothing to
say to each other who spend those
CHASTITY evenings at home in silence
so thick you could cut it with a
knife and who look as If relief
expedition had arrived when any
outsider drops in.
It's the husbands and wives who
find each other dull beyond endur-
ance who wander off after other
women and affnities who under
stand them and get themselves in
meSses and scandal.
And on the other hand it is the
husbands and wives who find each
other interesting and amusing and
who never talk out who live happily
together till their golden wedding
day. DOROTHY DIX.

vi ltlC FNOO4Cl4
Co., produced three mems suits, all
of which appeared to be identical
However, one was made entirely Of
virgin wool, one of so per cent virgin
wool and so per cent shoddy or re-
claimed wool and the third was
completely composed of shoddy
wool. Members of the committee
were unable to tell one suit from
another, yet it was proved that the
first suit had withstood five times
the hard wear that tore apart the
third suit of shoddy or reclaimed
wool.
This, of course, proves that the
consumer Is very much unaware of
the quality of woolens he buys. And
1t proves further that this legiSla-
tive step Is an important move to
better and more intelligent purchas-
ing with less risk of deception.
Specifically, the two types of wool
mentioned above may be explained
in this way: Virgin wool is new wool
just as it is produced by nature.
1t has never previously been manu-
featured or worn and, as a conse-
quence, the fibers are relatively long,
unbroken and lifelike. This is i'm
portant. because the unchanged
condition of these fibers gives the
fabric beauty, long-wearing quail
ity and excellent tailoring possible
ties.
On the other hand, reclaimed or
shoddy wool has been previously
manufactured and in many cases
worn. Before being respun and re-
woven it must be ground up into
fibrous mass, a process which ineyi-
tably must make the fibers shorter,
weaker and less resilient and which
affects the appearance and weara-
bility of the garment.
So therein lies the point of the
new law. Up until this time, except
in a very few cases, there has been
no attempt to inform the consumer
OF the content OF the wool he buys.
Consequently when the labelling
process goes into action it will be
OF great assistance to the buying
public and a step forward in con-
Quoting better business.
And while we're on the subject,
here are a few hints on caring for
woolens that may be helpful: In
washing, use lukewarm water and
plenty of mild neutral suds which
are made before putting the articles
in. Wash quickly, keeping the ma
terial in easy motion. Don't soak.
Slosh around. squeeze sudS through;
don't rub. Rinse out all soap in
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1940-11-06

lukewarm water. Put through loose
wringer and don't twist garments.
Dry in warm place, but not on
radiator or heater. Hang blankets
lengthwise. Measure knitted articles
before washing. To test for color
fastness, put an inconspicuous part
of the article in clear, warm water
and squeeze water through for four
or five minutes.
Remember, too, that moths hate
sunlight, so it's good idea to air
woolens occasionally. Brushing Is
also an aid to the health and long
wearing ability of woolens, so try to
use a brush every time you put on a
wooden garment.
And now that you will know the
fins and outs" of wool content and
the care of wooden articles, this
fabric should become one of your
favorites- and you couldn't pick a
better looking, smarter one!

materials and furnishings offered
in the shops.
Changes in types of houses, in
furniture and accessories are TAX
ing place rapidly. The things we
have lived with and the way we
have lived are suddenly outmoded.
These fresh new designs, the under
standing of the beauty of raw ma
terialS intelligently handled, the
close cooperation between the art
ist designer, the skilled craftsman
and the intelligent worker produces
an article that is scaled and timed
to its use today. Brilliant methods
of large-scale merchandising offer
it to you with label to inform you
of the name of the designer so that
you will know that the merchandise
meets the high standards of the
American-way plan.
Another vital part of this plan
is the survey that is going on to dis
cover new talent and crafts in vari-
Gus parts of the country. These
will be developed as a regional con-
tribution to the scheme, which
should offer to the young people of
the area inspiration and employ
ment similar to that in the great
ceramic and textile centers in other
parts of the world.
The high quality of design, the
subtle and unusual color combina-
tions, the useful, workable shapes
and contours will interest you as
they seem to exemplify the type of
house and mode of living peculiar
to our country, with its love of
unaffected hospitality, its life in the
sunshine, its hard work and harder
play, its love of color, line and tex
ture. 1t is inspiring to realize the
resources at our disposal and to feel
that at last we are not only aware
of them but able to utilize them as
never before. "American-w way" may
very likely be the first step toward
a new way of business and better
way Of living.
