Can a husband be too good to his
wife? How does wife like to be
treated? How can poor, be-
wildered man tell when he is making
a hit with the little woman or get
ting on her nerves?
These questions are raised by q
suit for a divorce that a woman
has recently brought against her
husband in which she alleges that
he has subjected her to cruel and
inhuman treatment. But when the
charges were investigated, it was
found that his offenses consisted OF
his insisting on preparing her bath
even to fixing the temperature OF
the water and in his doing most OF
the housework and getting dinner
Most wives in these servantless
days would regard such husband
as gift direct from heaven and
hang on to him with both hands
instead of trying to get rid of him
but the incident shows how hare
it is to please a woman and how
difficult it is for man to be a gooe
husband, even when he is trying hi!
darndest.
Perhaps, however, this divorc'
suit throws great white light or
what has hitherto been an mex
plainable mystery and that is, VIII!
women so often seem to love bas
husbands better than they do goot
ones. Any of us could cite you 1
dozen cases of wives who treat thei
good, kind, self-sacrificing husbands

neglect. And, at the same time
we can point to score of othe
wives who stick through thick ant

and starve them and are unfaith
full to them. Apparently there
something about drunkards an,
roues and ne'er-do-wells that en-
dears them to their wives.

from Mrs. E. L. c., Washington. J
In reply to q request in The Eve
ming Star for recipes made in q

one that have used several times

recipe following is for two but can
be increased to any amount. Get
one pound Of Swiss steak or any
kind of steak you wish. Flour it
thoroughly on both sides. In the
meantime, melt shortening or suet
Ia cooker and when it gets smoking
hot, put the steak in and fry on
both sides until brown. Add salt
and pepper as you would any other
fried steak. Cover with water then
put in sufficient amount of peeled
and quartered potatoes right on top
Of steak also sliced onions il you
like. In the summer when I can
get corn on the cob, the whole oobs
60 on top of the potatoes. Any other
vegetable that will cook in the same
time as potatoes will do nicely also
Put cover on (after sailing as you
like and after indicator reaches the
halfway mark, let cook for 10 or
IL minutes. There you have your
meat, gravy and vegetables like you
never tasted before.

method of making her happy and
contented, yet it is undeniably true
that no wives are so peevish and
dissatisfied as the ones whose hus-
bands coddle them too much. Treat
wife like spoiled baby and she
will react like one. She will cry
for the moon and sue her husband
for nonsupport because he can't
get it for her.
Curiously enough, the average
man is sold to the belief that the
way to be good to his wife is to
give her an unlimited shopping ticket
houseful of servants and make
himself a doormat for her to tram
pie over. Yet this line of conduct
will lose him his wife oftener than
it will hold her. For it is the wom-

buys who are always seeking new
sensations. 1t is the idle women

loves long the husband she hen.

And there is the woman's side tt
the good husband problem. Every
wife would like to look up to hel

is weak enough to let her impose

Etiquette

Every now ana Cnen q puZZllng
attitude is shown by some one who
thinks that repaying the damage
they have done will be taken amiss.
For example, a reader tells me that
her husband burned a hole in a
very nice black satin bridge table
cover. She explains further: II am
at a loss as to what to do about
replacing this cover. We go to
this house often and would be
delighted to buy a new cover, but
am afraid this would not be
proper"
1t is always proper to replace as
nearly as you can something that
you have destroyed. If there is a
birthday or an anniversary of some
sort on which to give it, SO much the
better. If not, just say, II don't
think this is as nice as yours was,
but it is the nearest match I've
been able to find" Or, if it is the
same, you can say. John was so
sorry about his awkwardness the
other night"

AFL Activities In Construction Listed By Green
Outlines Program To VFW Pres. On Labor's Wants
 In Building Industry

WASHINGTON IPA) = AFL President William Green gave a detailed, point by point description of the AFL's activities to rush home construction in a reply made pub- lie this week to an inquiry from Joseph M. Stack, COmmander-in- Chief of the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
 Besides seeking Wage Stabilization Board approval of higher wages for apprentices, thus making the building trades more attractive to veterans, Green reported on the tremendous en- largement in number of apprentices nearly 37 per cent in the month of May alone. The AFL head estimated that by July 1 there were more than oO,OOO building trades apprentices in active training, nearly doubling the number in two months. He pledged that AFL unions twill continue in their efforts with uns1acking purpose" Biggest handicap, he said, is the lack ot materials resulting in unemploy- ment even of trained workers.
 Green also pointed to AFL par ticipatiOn in revision of local build ing codes, commenting especially the Outstanding works that was done on the initiative of the IntI. Brotherhood of Electrical Work

 "We also trust that sufficient funds will be appropriated for the Board of Education so that the single salary schedule, as requested by the New Haven Teachers League, may be put into effect
 ''CITY LONG REMISS''
 "As citizens of this community, we believe that the City of New Haven has long been remiss in meeting its obligations to our city employees. We know of no reason why these en- ployees should be forced to accept substandard living conditions, which are the inevitable result of substandard wages.
 ''Cities, like individuals, have a conscience. We believe the con- science of our city is troubled over the question of the low salaries being paid our public servants. Our conscience, our civic pride, and our belief in the dignity of human beings demand that we put an end to the intOlerable situation in which our city employees find themselves.

national Ladies' Garment Workers Union (AFL), 66 per cent of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers, 46 per cent of the Bakery and Confectionery Worker (AFL), and 50 per cent of the United Textile Workers (AFL).
 Among the benefits which women have derived through unions are a voice in collective bargaining, better jobs with equal opportunities for pro- motion, higher wages, rate for the job, shorter hours, vacations with pay, bet ter working conditions, seniority rights, and community services such as child care centers.
 On the other side of the balance sheet-''Participation by both men and women workers in strong, free unions, is necessary to collective bargaining" the leafet say 8. Women can help their unions by participating in their programs, att tending union meetings, and shar- ing in union work. They can re- fuse to undercut the union wage scale by not working for lower rates. They can learn to under stand and further union ideals and activities, help women's Organiza- tiOns to understand union pro- grams, and work for more democ. racy in Government through vOt. ing.
