what they desire7 why don't they
give them some coaching? Why
don't they show them some cooper
ationa Why don't they offer them
some incentive7 Why don't they
make the reward worth working fort
Why don't they make the conditions
Of being the ideal wife Of their
dreams easier?
They don't, you know. When the
average girl marries, she not only
doesn't know any more about how
to be q good wife than she knows
about building an airplane, but she
doesn't know what her husband ex-
poets Of her. And he doesn't take
the trouble to teach her. II he hired
a new stenographer. he would spend
days and weeks breaking her In on
her job, but he expects q green wife
to know by instinct all Of his little
ways and crotchets and hahits, and
to jump in and turn out q finished
performance, hence the bride gets
OF to bad start. So question
No. is: Why don't bridegrooms
teach their brides to be the kind
OF wives they want2
IF man wants his wife to be q
living picture. why doesn't he make
1t worth her while to doll herself up
for him by paying her q few COM
pliments, instead Of never noticing
what she has on and raising runc-
tions every time she buys a new
dress? In one Of Balzac's stories
he says of q plain girl, 'All that she
needed to make her beautiful were
few kisses and love letters That
recipe never fails.
III man wants his wife to stay
a perpetual sweetheart, all he has
to do is to keep up the tactics Of
courtship. He must help her keep
the fire Of romance alive. He must
give as well as take. After all, It Is
pretty hard for woman to keep
sentimental over q man who takes
her as much for granted as he does
the kitchen stove, and whose kisses
are AZ flabby as . cold buckwheat
cake.
"If . man wants his wife to be .
real companion to him, all he has
to do Is to cultivate her society, get
really acquainted with her, talk to
her about his plans and hopes and
aspirations. and make her feel she
Is part Of everything he does. Halt
the men in the world haven't the
slightest idea how intelligent their
wives are. No wife can be chummy
with her husband II he never opens
his mouth In his own houge except
to put feed M it ind who. isltno
more entertaining than IS St,zRed
shirt would be.
At am going places said one
ambitious young man to his wife.
II you don't want to be left you've
got to study and read and keep up
with me- And she did. And 30
would any other woman
IF q man wants his wife to be \
good housekeeper. that is up to him,
too. Let him brag about her bread
and praise her sauces and she Will

who never hands her = compliment
for her thrift. or who gobbles down
q good dinner without showing the
sliehtsst appreciation OF the labor
and skill that went into Its prepara-
tion.
And, finally. II q man wants Q
cheerful. happy wife, he can acquire
that blessing by showing her every
day In every way that he Is trying
to make her happy: that he still
thinks her the most beautiful woman
in the world and himself the luckiest
man In having gotten her for a wife,
Every man can have the kind
Of a wife he wants II he wants to

Unborn Baby
Cannot Be
Marked
Mothers Actions
Or Thoughts Do
Not Hurt Them
By Lsnice Lee SfreeH

However hard she may try to com-
bat superstition. the average young (
pregnant woman is faced with q
hoard of illogical beliefs that through
the ages have unrightfully assumed .
the aspect of facts One OF the most
dificult of these mistaken ideas for
an expectant mother to refute Is the
sneaking little dread In the back Of
her mind that she may really mark
or harm her baby during her months
OF pregnancy.
No matter who luridly describes
the hlemish that resulted from =
shock some mother suffered. do not
listen. Science has proved that these
occurrences are coincidence. Not
only this. but can't you sse how
stories may be exaggerated, and how
an imaginative mother may look
back and recall such and such an
incident and greatly enlarge what
actually happened9
Sometimes a very highly strung.
emotionally uncontrolled woman will
so extravagantly allow her imagina-
ton to rule her thoughts that she
can worry herself into actual physi-
cal illness when she believes that
her baby-to-be will be injured, or
have a blemish due TO q happening
that scared her out OF her wits.
Today I want very much to aIlay
any dread you may have about hurt
ing or influencing your infant by
what you see, think. feel or hear.
Did you know that by the time a
woman Is SIX weeks pregnant that
her baby Is completely formed2
Isn't 1t easy, then to understand that
any so-called marking Of the baby
would have to be done before this
date? But repeat, IL Is impossible
TO affect an unborn baby by what
you see, feel, hear or think at any
time.
A mothers emotions, her fears,
nervous shocks, happiness and so
on are not communicated to her
child. Doctors and scientists are
unanimous In this opinion. There
Is no connection whatsoever between
! the nervous organization Of
mother and her unborn baby.
As far as the infant Is concerned.
1t Is waste of time II q mother
sings, paints, reads, plays musical
instruments and so ON continually,
In the hope she will give birth To Z
child who Is musical or artistic. Nor
win any forced smiles, gayety and
laughter make baby own o sunny
disposition. The only benefit to be
derived Ii to the mother herself, for
no one denies that 1t Ia good for d
prospective mother to be happy and
cheerful.
You know yourself that when you
are angry, upset, shocked, afraid or
fatigued that you lose sleep and
appetite and do not digest your food
properly. Therefore, o mothers
mental attitude Is indirectly tn-
portant to her infant because ".
affects her bodily well-being.
thss Mhass sss oniy sls7sa M Y tas ss sr 1ast
her expected child is II she abuses
and neglects her health and thus
allows herself to become run down.
Malnutrition. dissipation, disease
and so on that are present In the
expectant mother can and do Affect
her unborn baby. But II a woman
leads as wholesome, normal and Sc
rene . life as possible, II she visits
her doctor regularly and rests. eats
and exercises senely, she may put
aside the fear that she viii injiire
her child. and instead. face her JOB
