Modern Marriage
FuIsehoods
OfUnhoppy
Couples
By Dr.. Paul Popenoe

Any one who deals as 7 do
with many unhappy couples.
gets used to hearing certain
falsehoods repeated over and
over. One Of these is, "We
haven't anything in common"
In most instances it would be
hard for two people to tell q
bigger lie. # you stop to think
about it. they have almost every
thing in common. What they
really mean is that they have
agreed to ignore all these things
and pick out half q dozen un-
important differences which
they then exaggerate until they
can't think of anything else.
They are like a child who knows
that the moon Is bigger than a
penny. but can easily hold the
penny so close to his eye that
he can't see the moon.
Mrs. N. has written this story
to me. She and her husband
married on very slight acquaint-
ance, and she thinks maybe they
haven't anything in common
after q year Of marriage. In
that case. Mrs. N. you had better
get some things in common. This
is about as easy an assignment
as any one can give you. Here
are some ideas at random. They
may not fit the community in
which you live, but you can
easily find substitutes.
/. Read a book together. Plan
to spend at least one evening q
week in that way. Talk 1t over
as you go along.
2. Attend plays or concerts,
visit art galleries or museums.
Talk over what you see and hear.
8. Go to church or synagogue
together. Talk over the service
and sermon. Attend some meet
ings of worship in denomina-
tions quite different from your
own. including one or two with
distinctive features such as
TheoSophists, Spiritualists, Ba-
haists or Buddhists. Try some Of
the small and less orthodox
Christian groups, too. Such visits
are a good test Of your receptiv-'
1ty to new ideas.
4. Do the same for politics
and other subjects.
5. Attend q few meetings de-
voted to community welfare,
such as chamber of commerce,
neighborhood improvement asso-
citation. taxpayers league or
union labor rally.
6. Make q few new friends
whom both Of you win enjoy.
z. Cultivate each others rela-
tives If they are In reach.
In q year with such q pro-
gram (Which. Of course. would
not include dances and enter
tainments). you win learn more
about each other than many
husbands and wives have learned
after flve years Of marriage, and
you viii have something to talk
about together.

Why Grow Old?
By Josephine Lowmon

It is d comparatively new idea
that electrolysis can be used, with
wonderful results, to correct an
unattractive hairline. For long
time we thought of it only as q
means to get rid Of unwanted
hair on the face or arms or legs
I do not mean to suggest that
we all dash out and have our
hairline changed. This would be
silly unless we have a real han
dicap in the way our hair grows
about our forehead and at the
temples. However, there are
many women who are really
handicapped in best looks be-
cause of this.
The Problems
For instance. let us consider the
woman whose hair grows far
down on her forehead. She may
have an adequate forehead and
a well-shaped face, but the low
hairline spoils her appearance.
Then some women may have hair
which grows much further down
on one side of the forehead than
on the other, to such an extreme
degree, that this gives them q
One-sided look.
In older women the hair some
times grows down at the temples
and these string hairs. falling
down the sides Of the face, are
not attractive. All Of these con-
ditions and any other similar
ones can be permanently corr
rected by electrolysis.
Electrolycists do this so grad
ually that even husbands do not
realize what is happening to
their wives until they suddenly
notice that the wife is much bet

BY EIeni

There's a hitch to fashion
these days that instead of caus-
ing women to groan is causing
them to be happy about the
whole thing.
What's causing all this happi-
ness is something that has been
designed to please women who
like to change not only their
minds but their belts and belt
buckles.
One Of the most imaginative
fellows in the belt business is
young Roger Van S. For the past
couple of years his handbags
and leather belts have been at
tracing attention.
He believes that. a belt makes

Emily Post Says

rect? I always thought they
were left on so that people could
see the flowers they had sent.
I would appreciate your opinion.
Answer: 1t is definitely in best
taste to- remove cards from the
flowers when they are received.
A careful description must how
ever, be written on each card
of the kind of flowers sent, so
that each Offering shall be ap-
preciatively acknowledged.
Brides List for Presents
Dear Mrs. Post: While out
shopping the other day I met
the mother of a bride-soon-to-b be.
When I told her I was out
shopping for a present for Mary
she Immediately produced a list
of the sterling and crystal her
daughter wanted. I had not
asked for any suggestion as to
a gift and I felt this was a most
improper and crude gesture on
her part. Am I wrong? Or is this
the modern way of doing things
and am I too old-fashioned to
accept it?
Answer: I think you are right

A reader calls upon me to
settle the following argument:
"A friend Of mine insists that
a lady precedes the gentleman
with her into the elevator and
out again; whereas, insist just
as vehemently that she enter
first but he, standing nearer the
door, then leaves first. Who is
right?"
Both, depending upon circum-
stances. She enters first and.
when practical for her to do so,
leaves first. But when the ele-
vator is crowded so that trying
to let her go in front of him
would only result in blocking
the way for her and possibly
others, he should step out
quickly and she should follow.
Funeral Flowers
Dear Mrs. Post: I went to the
funeral home to pay my respects
to the mother Of q friend of
mine. noticed that all the
cards had been removed from
the flowers. Wasn't this; incor-

HOLLYWOOD. - The most
striking thing about Rhonda
Fleming's beauty is her coloring
and she is considered by many
the most beautiful redhead on
the screen.

sort of plan for caring for your
skin at every age" Rhonda
added. "And with all the beauty
advice and beauty preparations
offered today you have to be
lazy to let yourself CO."
Rhonda remarked that she
realized that running a house
and taking care of children
didn't leave much leisure. But
very often women with the larg-
est families look better than
C hildless wives, and busy
Rhonda is certainly in that
group.
"They say if you want to be
sure something is done ask a
busy person to do it," I COM
mented.
That's true" Rhonda agreed.
Getting things done is a mat
ter Of planning. If you want to
improve your appearance you
don't have to spend a great
amount of time on yourself but
you do have to devote q few
minutes every day.
Brush Hair Well
Rhonda feels that every one
should try to make her hair
one of her big assets. Every
night and morning I brush my
hair for SO strokes-that's not
much, but if you bend over and
brush away from your scalp you
bring the blood up and keep
your hair in good condition.
I'm a fanatic about clean,
fluffy hair" Rhonda exclaimed.

Don't you find this drying?"

once month I use a condition

and then steam it with one of
those electric caps. If you've
had a bad permanent or your
hair is dried out from bleach

give new life to your hair"
I asked Rhonda about her
night-club act.

an actress" Rhonda confided.

teachers thought might try for
