with and II their wives won't do 1t,
there is always some accommodating
lady around who will help them
make whoopee.
One of the main reasons why so
many men get so fed up with mar
riage that they jump the bars in
search of greener fields and pastures
newer is because their wives make
domesticity all work and no play.
They think that after hard days
work man should ask no livelier
diversion than painting the kitchen
floor, or putting up new shelves in
the pantry. So they throw cold
water on all the plans of friend
husband to amuse himself, and he
has to either sneak his good times
or have to fight to get them. And
when any man comes to look upon
his wife as killjoy it Is all over
but the divorce decree.
1t seems to me that is what YOU
are doing in objecting to your hus-
band going to the parties his firm
throws, and that If you were wise,
instead of making scenes over it and
acting like an injured wife, you
would get fresh hairdo and put on
your prettiest frock and go along
with him and pretend to enjoy it
whether you do SO or not.
He is right in saying that it is
good policy for him to cooperate
with those with whom he works, for
employees will put their hearts and
their backs into working for a boss
they like that they never will for
one who they think highhats them

Dorothy Dix Says

Dear Miss DIX: My husband and
I have been married not quite two
years. We have been very happy
and he is good husband in every
way, but this is my trouble: He
works for a large company and has
recently been made supervisor OF
his department. This company has
a great habit Of having parties at
halls, especially If some one leaves
for the Army, or at Thanksgiving
and Christmas, etc. There are both
men and women at these affairs and
they have dancing and drinks, each
employe contributing his share of
the expenses.
I great object to my husband 60
ing to these affairs, but he claims he
has to in his position, and says that
when he doesn't go the fellows rib
him about his wife not letting him
out. 1t isn't that I don't trust my
husband, because I do, but he is 25
years old and very good-looking and
I am sure when he goes to these
parties he doesn't sit in a corner,
although he isn't one who cares for
women.
All of this upsets me very much
and we have big arguments over it,
and he says if I don't trust him it is
just too bad. Am I wrong in the
position I take on the subject?
A WIFE.
Answer think you are wrong
Absolutely. And that you are taking
the best possible course of losing a
perfectly good husband. For men
have to have some woman to play

Round About the House

"I hare a louely pair of bronze
candlesttckS and t,Co beautiful
bronze statues Which hdpe been
collecting the dust ouer the years.
hare neUer knoton hoD to clean
them properly, but hare been under
the impression that 1rdter should
not be used upon them nor should
they be rubbed NTH cloth Lioht
busting does not remoue the dirt
from the numerous small inden-
tdttonS and crerjccS. Could you
tell me hom they should te
cleaned? Can do it at home or
shoEld it be done bv a projes-
stonal, and Uhere would I find such
person? These are Udluable
bronzes and do not Udnt to do
anything that UiH hurt them"
E. c. r.
In your zeal to give your bronzes
the best care you have bent over
backward" little bit. 1t is perfectly
true that bronzes should not be
polished, but it is equally true that
accumulation OF dust over the years
does not add to the beauty of any,
thing. Half of the beauty of bronze
comes from the roundness given by
polished high surfaces and deep
shadows. This is the quality you will
wish to keep. So. you do not use
one of the abrasive metal polishes
which destroys this effect.
You may place some salt into a
fiat saucer. Add lemon juice OF
vinegar to this. Dip soft cloth into
the solution and scrub the bronze
thoroughly. A soft brush may be
used to clean all the deep parts
This will freshen the whole surface
Then wash it with hot water and
soap and dry thoroughly. You will
not need to do this more than once
a year. In the meantime use a lemon
oil furniture polish every month
or so, and wipe afterward with 8
clean soft cheesecloth or old linen
This will not change the character
OF the bronze in any way. 1t will
bring out the lights of the
metal as it was originally intended
Be sure that cloths are of the softest
SO that no scratches are possible.

j., fabric. One that will make any
sensible girl say II want that" is
bow-necked, short-sleeved, one-piece
dress with pretty skirt-fullness-all
in white background etched" with
red sailboats and dreamy water
scenes. Equally good with black or
white accessories, this will look cool
as seabreeze when the city's swele
tering.
Cutout appliques are another
newsy note for spring prints-and
used most beautifully in one-piece
tulip pattern with cutout tulips
edging the sleeves and neckline, and
literally banked at the waist to form
a fiat, fattering belt-of flowers ef-
feet. Cutouts are also used dis
creetly and decoratively on womens
print dresses, such as a pretty one
piece black-and-white print with
appliques Of the tri-loop bowknot
pattern bordering the neck and
sleeves.
For those Of you who always go
"dotty" in the spring-rest assured
that dots are favorites again. One
you'll like is simple onefpiece
affair by Charles Armour with black
dots on pink. Which brings us to a
word about color. AS you see, there
is much emphasis on black this
year-black backgrounds or blacA
prints on pale grounds-this be-
cause you'll not be able to trade
your No. 18 or airplane No. / for q
pair of navy blue shoes. Much Is
being made of pink with black
very pretty, too, when the pink Is
not blatant. For the new bright
note in prints-there's tangerine to
replace the vibrant pinks we've had
too much Of for too long.
II you're going to buy a print
dress, you'd do well to consider the
virtues of a two-piece. In some
cases you can wear the top as an
extra blouse, in all cases the skirt
can be teamed with other blouses.
One of the best-looking suits in town
is tiny wallpaper print with itsy
bitSy buds arranged on black
background. Black grosgrain is
used to collar the short jacket and
make the seton narrow belt which
emphasizes the peplum effect
achieved via three tiny ruffles. 0f
it sounds awful, blame it on syntax,
not style) Also, be sure 10 look for
waistcoat jackets. Not only are they
news in all jackets this spring, but
they have the kind of lines that will
do nice things for yours.
