| eyes, or telling her that she is more
glamorouS than any f1apper.
Il am not saying that all wives
are paragons. Far from it. Prob
ably there are just as many men
with good for nothing wives with
cantankerous dispositions as there
are women with trif1ing husbands
who are grouches and glooms. But,
oftener than not, when a woman is
q washout as wife it is because
she got so discouraged trying to
please a husband who never no.
ticed what she did or gave her a pat
on the head that she just threw up
her hands and quit.
Every girl goes into marriage
with a lot of illusions that do not
tie in with real life. She thinks
over and that her husband is going
to spend the remainder of mis- life
petting and pampering her and
making things pleasant for her.
And when she finds out that he
thinks that all the fun she wants
is performing on gas range, and
that she would rather stay at home
with the baby than 60 to a night
club. and that he doesn't notice
whether she is sick or well, and
that he would prefer listening to
even the most asinine program on
the radio than talk to her, she says
to herself, What's the use?' and is
mighty likely to give up the fight to
be good wife.
She is bored stiff and disillu-
stoned, and, unless she has a lot
more character than most women
have, she takes out her disappoint-
ment in her marriage on her hus-
band by nagging and fretting and
complaining. Look about you and
you will see that it is the unhappy
women who are failures as wives.
1t is the women who are starved for
love and appreciation. whose hus-
bands treat them as if they were
just piece Of useful household fur
niture, who become neurotic inva-
lids who enrich doctors and fill the
sanatoriums.
LAS long as a woman is happy she
is on her tiptoes trying to please
her husband, and that is why it
would pay husbands to be little rays
of sunshine around the home"

Manners
of the
Moment

There are women who are born
dust raisers. They can't look at a
book or a table top without flicking
out a handkerchief to stir up the
dust.
1t may be a sign of good house
keeping. But when the habit gets
too set in a woman. she becomes a
Areside nuisance. She spends the
entire evening raising the dust
around the house, causing all sorts
Of trouble. Members of the family
get hay fever and claustrophobia
and all sorts of horrible things.
I think probably the best way to
cure a dust raiser is to bring home a
handful Of nice dry dust from the
street some evening and then blow
It at her coyly as though you were
blowing kiss
She may realize the error of her
ways. If she doesn't, you'd better
take all handkerchiefs and feather
busters and put them well out Of her
reach. Just say, mo, no." when she
reaches for them. And be firm with
her. JEAN.

About two months ago in this COL
umn 1 ran my own nine-day re-
ducing diet. This diet answered q
popular demand for rapid reducing
and safe-guarded health. I have
received numerous letters from
readers all over the country telling
me how much they lost during the
nine days time and how well they
felt Most persons lost close to a
pound day, although few dropped
only 5 or 6 pounds, due, no doubt,
to difference in individual metab-
olism and physical activity.
1t has occurred to me that those
women who wish to gain weight also
would be encouraged by q prescribed
course which would show results in
a given length of time and that they
would like to have detailed menus to
follow. Therefore l am offering you
my nine-day gaining diet and build
yourself up" series, beginning today.
If it is possible for you to follow
directions in physical activity and
daily routine as well as in diet. I can
promise the majority of you a gain
of five pounds in the nine days time
and many of you will gain more
can just about imagine the habits
of life of most of you underweights
and this routine is going to ask you
to change your ways" When you
start in. make up your mind to give
it a real trial for nine days. I be-
lieve the results in poundage as well
as in lack of fatigue will persuade
you to plan your life in the future
more nearly like the routine I out
line. In other words, believe that
you will experience a feeling of in
creased well-being.
Remember this. Underweight can
come from organic trouble and every
underweight person should have 4
physical examination in order to be
sure that there is no deep, underly-
ing cause for their lack of pounds.
Toxic poisoning from diseased
teeth, tonsils, sinuses or constipa-
ton can influence your thinness.
can recommend this gaining diet
indefinitely. Make a game of it!
Follow directions and see how much
weight you can gain in nine days
time.
Here is tomorrow's diet. 1t will
be fine for your children and your
husband, too, unless he is over
weight If he is he will have to ex-
ert self-control, and if he can't do
that he will have to 60 on my nine
