You can't do it, They are a part
of her. Study them and they will
tell you how to get along with her
without friction.
Don't order your wife about as If
she were a slave. Propitiate her.
1t isn't what you say and do to a
wife that counts. 1t is the way YOU
say and do 1t. Boast of her cooking
and housekeeping, and she will work
her fingers to the bone to keep you
well fed and comfortable. Give her
an allowance of her own and don't
ask her what she does with it.
Don't criticize your wife. Never
make fun of her new hat or dress
unless you want to buy her new
ones. Show your wife little atten-
tions. Bring her flowers. Take he,
to places of amusement. Make q
chum of her. Talk to her about the
things you are interested in. Dom
cut out the love making and yol
will have model wife.
And, above all, never forget tha
little things count more with WON
en- than big things, and that they
put more stress on words thai
deeds"

CLOTHING FOR WAR VICTIMS.
(Thanks to Mrs. T. E. H.,
Mclean, Va
A friend of mine wants me to
forward the grand idea of using
some Of these old stockings and
other loutworn knitted things to
crochet shoulder scarves and simple
jackets for the unfortunates abroad,
their possessions lost in the war.
There would be some warmth in
these garments and they'd help fill
a terrific need for clothing. With
some experimentation, quite usable
wraps could be made

The Club de Jeudi Dimes
PACKAGE HINT.

What with one thing and another
ration points and fancy meats were
a bit low among members Of Club de
Jeudi, prior to their get-together last
week. So the host and amateur male
chef Of the evening decided on a
main dish that was not only sparing
of the precious red points but also
economical and delicious to boot
The menu was presented as follows
Potato soup, Bretagne
Boiled beet tongue, Jeudi sauce
Boston baked beans
Fresh green salad
Ice cream With blazing cherries
Coffee.
This was simple but surprisingly
hearty dinner that won the instant
approval OF all the club members
and their wives. The sauce for the
tongue, dreamed up by the evening S
host, was chriStened in honor of the
club and should 60 down in culinary
history as real achievement.
But first. the potato soup-made
from recipe acquired in peacetime
days in little town in Brittany.

ficult to bend or break. A card Of
IL hooks should be SUFFICIENT for the
number of holes or loops on your
curtain and you can secure these
in the same color as the curtain or
select them in blending tone.
Wall shelves are convenient as
well as decorative. Some made Of
metal can still be found around
town and in our opinion these are
the most practical. The three shelves
hold nicely such items as a tissue
box, cotton container, drinking cup
and special soap dish In fact, these
can be purchased to match the shelf.
The accessories come finished in
green blue, yellow, burgundy and
peach, and the floral designs def
lnitely add "umph." However, If the
wall by the side of the tub doesn't
boast towel rack, you might prefer
a single wooden rack equipped with
glass shelf. tSimilar to the one in
the photography This could ac-
commodate several towels as well as
your bubble bath supply, astringent
and favorite busting powder. This,
OF course, isn't as elaborate or as
expensive as the complete metal set,
but few decals would lend a color
full and charming touch. Speaking
of decals, just the right number
placed in just the right spots can
do wonders for Frightening a dark
bathroom. Be very careful, how
ever, of your selection and how you
use them, or the effect will be night
marish, rather than striking.
A clothes hamper and waste con-
talner are necessities. Let's get a
set. Made of wood and wicker, they
are still very attractive, although the
mother pearl type tops have gone
with the war. If you desire a touch
OF Hollywood in your bath, invest
In a mirror container and hamper.
And for an added note of smartness
have this set monogrammed.
| II there is room, you might in
clude small table and stool. The
unpainted variety can be purchased
for nominal cost and finished to
blend in with your color scheme. A
round easel mirror in a smart lu-
cite frame is just the thing to set off
this arrangement. Add a clear lu-
cite comb and brush. plus a few
dainty perfume atomIzers and your
dressing table will be complete.
