'TWO LIVE CHEAPER THAN ONE?'
IT'S REALLY TRUE, M'LISS SAYS
She Quotes a Married Man, Who, Despite Cynics,
Thinks Wife Financial Asset and Matri
f mony a Paying Investment '
I
0 IB that old wiseacre Francis Bacon, Is
the queryi At what age should a man
"A young man, not yet; an old man neVorl"
This leaves the Held to tho middle-aged, but as no man, be he ever so bald
and rickety, will ndmlt that he Is middle-aged until he has at least ono foot In
tUj gravo, and Is really old, tho sixteenth century philosopher virtually put tho
ban on matrimony.
He la not alone In his cynicism. It Is characteristic of the majority of men,
be they benedicts or bachelors, to "slam" tho seventh of the sacraments w hlch wo
had to learn when we studied our catechism. Curiously enough, the list of theso
pacraments It you remember although It began propeily enough with "Baptism"
did hot end chronologically with "Extreme Unction," but made "Matrimony" the
last of tho list, just as though that wrote "llnls" to a man's career, as so many
would havo us believe.
No aphorism that has been npplled to the wedded stale provoker more mirth
than "Two can live cheaper than ono." Of all the foolishness that has been
written about tho metamorphoses that lovo Is supposed to bring about, this repre
sents the very acme.
Comes now a man, a married man, who In a diverting article In a current
magnzlno actually and with the conviction born of personal experience, sets out
to Bhow that "two If they aro tho proper two really can Hvo cheaper than
one." Indeed ho says that marrlago has doubled his Income. "Not In any
figurative Bense"; ho declares, "I am not counting contentment as part of my
Income, I am Bpeaklng In terms of cold dollars and cents.
"When I come to analyze Just how my wlfo has doubled my earning capacity,"
he continues, "I find tho result somewhat unsatisfactory- It Is a case of tho
whole being greater than the sum of Its parts. I can sot down the obvious things
tho consciousness of partnership, tho Indefinable Joy that comes when I pull down
my desk at night, the sense of being eternally worth whllo to some ono
theso aro Influences so subtle that they defy analysis.
"In the first place, then, my wife ban taught mo regular habits of work.
Perhaps you remember tho old one-cylinder automobile that first came on the
market. It used to race like the wind down-hill, but on a grado It would run
Blower and slower until It would threaten to die; and often there were days nt
a tlmo when It refused to run nt all. I was like that. My work was spasmodic.
For a period of days and nights and Sundays I worked unflagglngly: It seemed
as though I simply could not tire. Then, suddenly, for no reason that I could
eee, I would bo plunged Into a period of depression which would terminate only
when I had become thoroughly rested. Tho energy that my rest had supplied I
would promptly exhaust In nnothcr spurt of endeavor.
"What my wlfo did was to build mo over Into an eight-cylinder machine. I do
not work any harder than I used to; in fact, I know that tho amount of energy
I expend la really less. But I run more smoothly and I hardly know what it is to
tiro. I used to Bklp meals because I was so busy that I forgot to eat. She stopped
that particular carelessness tho llrst week of our marriage. My habits of ph.vslcnl
exercise were equally erratic.
"To live healthily one must live simply: and that Is a very difficult thing to
do In a hotel. I found after a month of homo cooking eating about the same few
things every day and nt tho samo time that my stomach adjusted Itself to tho
task with tho samo satisfaction which any worker feels In having a regular dally
Btlnt. My whole health was better; my temper was better; my work wont better,
although I did not at first roaltzo why.
"Without obtruding her sense of proprietorship, my wife constituted herself
custodian of my health. She could tell by looking at my eyes, or the way that I
walked, or something, Just how tired I was, and she never allowed mo to get
really tired out.
"One evening before wo were married she looked up suddenly and said, "You
know, dear, nfter we'ro married you've got to play with me a lot."
"Oh, yes," I said, but the words struck terror. Play that was what I dreaded
about tying my3olf up to a girl who had never worked and thereforo could not
know how important work Is. Play was tho thing I had no time for. Yet I have
learned to play since I got married, nnd I count that knowledge second In im
portance among tho things that my wife has done for me. Wo piny a lot. We
tramp the city streets at night and chatter. Wo go swimming together and piny
golf and manage to fool away two or three good hours every day. I behove those
hours havo contributed as much as anything else to the Increase of my capacity
for work."
A neat tribute, this, don't you think? There arc so many women who do
Just as much ns this man's wlfo for their husbands, but fall to get the apprecia
tion that has been tendered her. The "Married Man" who writes tho article
thinks ho la blessed among men, doubUcss for tho treasuro who Is, his spouse.
Ib Bhe not likewise blessed? M'LiISS.

I behove will power to be a pleaianter

tion, only as a last resort. Determine
that you aro going to hold your shoulder

high resolve. In addition, get dumb-bells

weighty kind, If you nre frail), and ex

It Is difficult to tell you the most be
coming way in which to dress your hair
without knowing the shape of your face.
Faces, thin, Vmoon," classical and piquant
all require different coiffure treatment.
Short hair, I believe, Is more easily dressed
than long. Rut I think straight tresses,
with few exceptions, present tew possi
bilities for artistic treatment.
Why not curl the recalcitrant ends that
insist on poking out? In addition to be
ing charming, little curls aro in great
vogue at present. I do not believe that
rolling one's hair around a moderately
heated Iron does any great amount of
harm, and the curly locks that result cer
tainly are worth the trouble.

that the same distinction be maintained,

Odd Decorations
One of the many pictty articles for in
terior decoration nowadays Is thp flower
bowl. Table pieces, especially thoso which
hold flowers, are tho Hat bowls which
are so popular Just now. but the problem
of mnklng tho potted plant beautiful Is
variously solved. Brilliant touches of un
expected color aro good in a room, say
the decorators. Perhaps this Is the reason
for the vogue of Btrong red Bohemian
glassware, made up in odd-shaped recep
tacles The old blue bowls nre tinted In
such a way as to havo purple shadows
when placed in the Bunllght. The low
shapes look charming on a library table
or in a sunny music room.

lor was fashioned of Naples yellow
enamel. The edges wero Irregular, scal

was painted on the, side, Just ahpve tho
base The whole was a symphony In
spring tints.
Another odd piece was fashlfined of
china, finished over with old blue or green
enamel. It was a candelabrum about 10
Inches high, with accommodations for four
bayberry candles. A lnttlco work of ebony
surrounded the stem. Nothing could be
prettier on the holiday table tta.i tIJs

Get a long, narrow or round stick from
tho woodpile and two screw hooks from
the toolchest. Screw the books into the
wall near the stove. Then slip the stick
through the hooks. Joyfully, then, gather
up thoso pot lids from the bottom of your
kitchen closet, and balance them one by
one behind the holder. The knobs on
the lids keep them fast.
Now when you need a pot lid there is
no more stooping, or searching, or
