ually separates them from each
other.
For it is not in feminine nature
for a wife to let well enough alone
and keep her hands of of her hus-
bands faults. She is bound to make
him over, so she commences to try
to polish up her rough diamond. She
corrects his grammar and his pro-
nunciation and his table manners
and tells him how to talk and sit
and supervlses his conduct like a
school mistress until she makes him
self-conscious and afraid of her.
For this isn't what he married for.
He thought his wife admired him
and was proud of him and when he
finds out that she doesn't and isn't,
that she considers him crude and
ignorant and is ashamed of him, it
not only kills his vanity, it slays
his love for her. You will never find
a marriage success in which the
gray mare is the better nag. Hence
it is catastrophe for both the hus-
band and wife when a girl marries
a man to whom she feels superior.

Manners
of the
Moment

Some girls sit around like statues
for about an hour after they have
put polish on their fngernails. Not
only DO they sit around holding
their hands out awkwardly, but thew
neither move their heads nor shift
their position. They Just freeze, -
and then start demanding that othev
people fetch them cigarettes and put
pillows behind their backs.
Their husbands and friends don't
always enjoy this.
Now I really think, in the first
place, that putting polish on your
nails in the living room is not quite
the socially graceful thing to do.
OF course, there are emergencies
But you shouldn't make a habit of

rooms turned into girls dormitories
And in the second place, if you
must make a social event of your
manicure, you should try to be as
mobtruslve as possible about it. Try
to dry your nails in such a way that
your hands look as though they be-.
longed where you have them. And
try to get along without a cigarette
or pillow until the nails are dry.
Other people will feel much more
sociable toward you that way than

Dear Miss DIX have always
heard the saying: When YOU meet
Mr.. Right you will know it. There
will be no doubt of that in your
mind" but the adage doesn't work
out with me, for I have met a man
who is very fine, thoughtful and per-
sonally attractive whom l feel I
might care for very dearly, but I
don't know whether he is Mr.. Right
or not because of his grammar. He
says have saw" and had wen"

he knows better, for when l appear
to notice them he corrects himself
instantly Being rather scholasticly

embarrassment in his company.

cess and l would not wish to give
him an inferiority complex by COR
rectlng his speech because he is
quite masculine and possesses a
great deal of pride. However. in
marriage it is the little things that
count, especially to women. AS a
girl friend said to me recently: Il
just couldn't marry Jim because of
the way he holds his fork" What is
the solution to such a problem?
ANXIOUS.
Answer think 1t is a great mis-
take for a woman to marry a man
whom she regards as her inferior in
any way. 1t seems to be a law of
nature that woman must be able
to look up to her husband in order
to love him and be happy with him.
There is no difference between
the sexes that is more clear cut and
definite than the way they regard
this matter. Men, taking them by
and large, for of course there are
some exceptions, prefer women who
are their interiors and they do not
seem to mind their wives being of
lower class than themselves. At

Or perhaps they are out until all

My husband and I treat our son

bobs up every once in while. What
DO you advise?"
Well, Mrs. w, we can understand
your sons reluctance to telephone,
because We can remember how it
used to irk us if we had to check in
with the family when we were out
little later than usual. But your
request that he telephone under
such circumstances is entirely rea-
sonable. Certainly he should be
willing to show that much Consid-

wise so lenient in the matter of his
curfew.
We're not surprised at his report
on the attitude of the rest of the
gang, especially the girls, toward
late hours. Girls are often more at
fault in these situations than boys.
They are constantly getting fellows
in wrong with their families by SIM
ply not knowing when to 90 home.
It really puts boy on a spot when
he has to show more concern about
a curfew than do the girls.
The fault, of course. really lies
with the parents. AS you say, some
of them Just can't be bothered about
what their teen-age sons and
daughters are doing. Others are
probably just as concerned as you
are over the situation, but haven't
been able to solve it. And the rea-
son for their failure is this fear of
being considered a sissy which al
most all young people feel.
But that fear is groundless if a
young person handles a situation
such as this in the right way. What
the gang thinks of your son will de-
pend on his own attitude toward
telephoning home. If he says, "Aw.

be late" he's inevitably going to
take a raZzlng.
On the other hand, if he is ap-
parently acting on his own thought
full impulse to keep his parents from
worrying, the rest of the gang is
going to admire him for it-whether
they admit it or not.
It's being under the parental
thumb that brands a fellow-or a
girl-as a sissy; not performing an
adult, voluntary act of thoughtful
consideration.
Thus your son might say "I think
I'll give mother ring. There's no
use letting her lose sleep, wondering
where I am" No worthwhile teen
ager could do anything but respect
and admire a fellow who showed
that much consideration for his
mother. In fact, some of the other
fellows and girls might even follow
his lead-probably with some slight
sheepishness, however.
In handling this matter with your
son, explain to him that you can't
help worrying when he's unusually
late. Then ask him to telephone
as a favor to you, rather than COM
manding to do so, as duty. The
difference between a request and a
command is a vital difference to a
teen-ager.

No group of known human beings
has built good bodies on a strict
plant or vegetable diet. A fine food
plan must include carbohydrates
proteins, fats, lots of minerals, and
water soluble and fat soluble
vitamins. Without these fat soluble
vitamins, we cannot utilize many
of the essential elements for health.
The best sources of fat soluble
vitamins are found in dairy prod
ucts, organs of animals, and eggs
Plant life is not a good source OF
vitamin D, and this must be gotten
from animal sources.
Canada feed muscle meats to the
dogs and save the organs of the
animal for themselves. They also
break the bones in order to get the
marrow for their children. Here they
get the richest kind of supply OF
important vitamins, and they are
almost without tooth decay.
Butter is principal source of fat
soluble vitamins. 1t is said that
butter that has low melting point
and is very yellow is richest in
vitamins. According to DR.. Price,
the addition of specially pre-
pared high vitamin butter, plus
cod-liver oil, to a diet which is low
in starches and sugars and other
wise adequate, will usually stop
dental decay and improve general
health.
Vitamin D is synthesized by
animals and stored in their organs.
