<We the Women
Stay-At-H
Wives Given
Helpful Rules
BY RUTH MILLETT

'He never takes me any,
where" is one of the common
est complaints of dissatisfied
wives. Instead of complaining
about it, these stav-at-home
wives should ask themselves
these blunt questions:
One: Do l look attractive
enough, so that a man would be
proud to say This is my
WIFE?
Two: When he takes me out,
do l try subtly to put him In
as good light as possible?
Three: When we are out to-
gether do let him be himself?
Four: Do l talk too much,
grabbing all of the spotlight for
myself and pushing George In
the background?
Five: Do 1 tell all our rou-
bles
Six; Do I keep an eagle-sye
on him, so he doesn't dare say
more than three sentences to
any attractive woman?
Seven: Do l embarrass him
by telling funny stories at his
expense?
Eight; Do I always insist on
going home exactly when l am
ready to go, even if l have to
drag George away?
Nine: After an evening spent
with his friends, do l come
home and criticize them and
their wives
Ten: Do I enjoy playing the
martyrs role, dropping little
remarks about how hard Lwork
and SO on?
Answering those questions
honestly ought to give the wife
who is always left at home an
indication of why.

dowdy and add age, instead of
imparting charm and doing
something for the wearer.
Finally, Miss Traphagen
makes the point that American
designers have come of age. No
Paris fashion can be introduced
IL America without UNDERGOING
adaptation to the American
scene. Today she feels, that only
American designers, thoroughly
conversant with all aspects of
American life, can truly inter-
pret the fashion mood of our
country. In her own classes at
the famed Traphagen School of
Fashion there is nearly a fifty
per cent enrolment of male vet
Grams who look forward to an
opportunity to establish firmly
authentic New World styles.
We are, she feels, after all
better able to express America
than French designers, who
have little knowledge of this
country.
