Avoirdupois vs.. Divorce
By IDA JEAN KAN

IT'S been reported that a we'll
known physical culture eX-
pert is seeking a divorce from
his wife because she has taken
on weight. II will be interesting
TO see how much weight this
carries with the judiciary. This
case is unique. His complaint IS
that she let her figure go COM
pletely and that she is not a
good example of his work nor a
credit to him.
But in the average happy
home. this dietitian thinks it's
largely the mans fault when
the little woman goes beyond
the pleasingly-plump poundage.
After she has added 10 pounds
she will ask anXiously if he
thinks she is getting too plump
and invariably his reply is that
he does not like thin women.
So, being a loving wife, she goes
happily along cooking all his
favorite dishes.
The high spot of her day is
when his face lights up as she
proudly serves some especially
dplectible dessert.

Touchy Subject

I honestly think that if a
husband were to praise his
wife's figure, while she still had
a nice one, instead of praiSing
her cooking all the time. she
wouldn't be so apt to lose her
figure. The need for apprecia-
tion is the second deepest need
in human nature.
OF course, there is something
to be said on his side, too. After
the 20 eXtra-pound limit has
been passed, a womans weight
is a dangerous subject. 1t takes
a special kind of courage to tell
her the blunt truth. He doesn I
like 10 hurt her feelings or risk
upSetting the even tenor Of the
home. so many a husband takes
the easy way out and assures
her he likes her just the way
she is.
Detroit evening times., 1945-11-04
No Longer Pleasing

But it's a wise wife who
faces the fact that 20 pounds
overweight is no longer pleas
ing even if her husband spares
her feelings and does not tell
her sos After a couple breaks up,
the woman always goes ahead
and reduces and gets her nice
figure back. She knows she is
more attractive simmer.
A few weeks ago a popular
movie actor separated from his
wife and she got busy and lost
25 pounds and he fell in love
with her all over again.

Prominent Bones
Mar Ideal Figure

FOR THE ideal figure, the
throat should be slightly thicker
from front TO back than from
side to side. That makes for
graceful lines. The chest should
develop a gradual fullness TO
the breasts. There should be
sufficient adipoSe padding to
conceal the collarbones.
The following exercise is de-
signed for the purpose of tuck
ing collarbones out of sight
where they belong. -
Place the right hand on the
right shoulder, left hand on the
left shoulder, touching only with
the finger tips. Send the ell
bows out in front, touching
them together Swing them far
back slowly, at the same time
lifting the chest as high as ever
you can. Back to starting point

tion to her figure until she had
lost it. Then did he tactfully
encourage her 10 watch her
waistline, offering to forego rich
dishes TO help her, or did he
merely start staying out late?
A wife. being left alone and
unhappy, will often turn to over
eating as an escape from bore
dom.

Dishwashino Hint

DISHWASHING Is one Of the
meanial tasks. but don't slight
il. Dishes should be washed in
soapy SudS and rinSed in water
which reaches al least $50 de-
grees 10 protect health. To do
this. place washed dishes in a
dish pan and pour hot water
over them. Let stand a few
minutes before drying.

Keep Washer Clean

TO KEEP the washing ma
chine running contentedly, put
two cups of vinegar and a little
water into the machine every

washer for a few minutes. This
saves both money and time by
keeping the pipes free OF soap

Protection Important
By A. 6. Mclean

Most Of us who garden are prone
to undertake more than we can get
done on time. Bulb planting is one
Of the chores usually left until the
last possible moment, and fortu-
nately it can be carried over until
fairly late in the season if the
ground where the bulbs are to be
planted is heavily mulched with
leaves or some other protective
material
Hardy bulbs can be put into the
ground any time in December, or
even in January, If the soil is not
frozen. Do not expect quite the
same results obtained with early
planting, however, for these late
starters never make the equivalent
root growth of earlier planted bulbs.
The same principle applies to late
planted shrubs. All deciduous ma
terial should be cut back rather
severely at the time it is planted.
This will secure better balance
between the root system, which has
been greatly reduced in digging, and
the branch and foliage growth above
ground.
1t pays to wrap evergreens if
there Is any doubt about their win
tering. This protection prevents
evaporation of moisture and will
bring boxwood and some of the
tender evergreens through the win
ter. In arranging the protective
