Nice people like to feel that the

manhood's estate and then find that
he must watch others in order to
know how to behave at the table.
Surely no mother would want to
feel years after, perhaps when she

like this would come to the mind of

ho can be at home at the table, even
if it bo with a trust magnate.
Let me tell you of something that
came to me quite recently. I re
ceived a letter from a young man
who wished to see me on important
private business and he sought an
immediate interview. I was puzzled

call. You may be sure I was very
greatly surprised when he informed
me that ho had come for help and
information because he had recently
been placed by his concern in charge
of entertaining out of town cus
tomers. The night previous to his
call he had taken an up-state man
and his wife to a prominent hotel
for dinner and while the meal was
in progress ho frequently noticed
his guest's wife's eyes upon him
Either, to judge from her expres
sion, sho was shocked or she was
very much amazed. And then sud
denly he thought of one time that
his sister told him he had the table
manners of a hod carrier. So he
had come to me for help.
Poor boy! It will bo hard for
him to lose that self-consciousness,
even after he knows that he has
nothing to worry about in regard to
his table manners.
So, mother, watch the small son
and the big one, too, for that matter,
and sec how he conducts himself at
table.
Adventures i
With a Purse
HERB Is something quite new and
striking In the way of a barpln. It
la the average barpln length, probably
two Inches, and the entire surface is of
a black enamel finish. Tiny gold lines
form a simple design and six pearls at
regular Intervals apart give a rich look
to this remarkable barpln, which costs
but fifty cents. The contrasting black
of the pin will look very effective on a
light dress. I rather think you will be
pleased with one ot these pins. And cer
tainly they are reasonably priced.
I
HAVE a friend who has a most ador
able brother and sister and one of
the keenest delights of these chubby
little folks Is to go to the box which
holds the telephone bell, and which
happens to be within reach, and to pre
tend to call up sister. Little people love
Imitate us grown-ups. and to have
"grown-up things." Need I say more to
bring to jour mind the Joy your own
little boy or girl would find In a tele
phone which Is fashioned like a real
one? Of course, It Is only a play phone,
but what fun It would give, and how
many tlreYome restless minutes might
be avoided. And the price Is but ten
cents.
I HAD heard lots about this prepara
tion, but I had never before seen It.
And Its vsry appearance Inspires con
ndtnee. This added to the assurance It
carries with It Is quite Irresistible. I
think It saya something about the uss
of It enabling one to keep up to the stand
ard of beauty and wholesomeneas .a
quired by the man world. And then the
claim is that it Is an excellent skin tonlo
which tends to restore and helps fresh
ness to the cheeks and removes un
sightly blackheads. Even the name re
assures one, and I am of tha opinion
that If you examine a bottle of this
fascinating liquid, which is certainly
well worth a dollar, you will try It.

And So They
Were Married
By IIAZEl, DEYO BATCIIELOR.
Copurloltt, 191). bu 1'ubUo l.tdotr Co.
AT first rtulri decided to glo the
money hack to Scott nnd to tell him
that sho had decided after all that she
didn't need anything new. But after
thinking things over she decided not to
do this, hut to save the J10 for some
thlng sho needed some time when she
did not feel like asking Scott for extra
money, she felt qulto safe In assuming
that Scott would forget all about tho
Incident unless he was reminded of It
i some way. I
The next thing that happened to
Ituth to make her discontented with her
lot was perhaps more significant. Now
It Is ono thing not to have one's home j
furnished ns beautifully as one desires,
but It li quite another to llvo In tmu
homo costumed In the latest and most
expensive clothes, or to begin to match j
It In shabblness. Not that Ruth's apart
ment was shabby; It hadn't been used
long enough for that, nor were her
clothes exactly shabby, but sho hadn't
bought anything new slnco her marriage,
outside of gloves or a waist or two.
Now she discovered In a queer way that
for the first time she felt not quite up
to tho minute.
She had rather fallen out of going to
afternoon parties, but when .Muaiie r
an afternoon oriago una n .
Iluth. who was curious about the rela
tionship of Natalie and Jack Bond, de
cided to accept.
Iluth wore an afternoon gown unaer
her fur coat, with a little velvet toque
to match. She found at the bridge a
bevy of smart young women, many or
them newly married and In the freshest
of trousseau togs. No girl thero wore
anything but a straw hat, although it
was still winter weather, and many oi
them wore spring suits with lovely slinky
chiffon things worn outside the skirt
nnd heavily hung with gold embroidery.
Iluth was Instantly seUed with a vio
lent deMre for a spring suit nnd for
lust such a blouse to wear with It. in
her mind's eye she knew Just what she
a-Dnt.ii a nmokv cray suit with suede
buckled Bhoeu to match, and a gray
chiffon overblouse, wun miMr imo
hints of mirple In It. A hat mado ail of
violets would be loely to wear wltn it.
Phe voiced her desire to Nata'le as
they stood alone for a few minutes In
Natalie's pale gray bedroom. Natalie
stood beside Iluth, who sat at the dress
ing table fixing her hair.
"I simply must have ono of those
new suits Tilth on overblouse," she said,
smiling at Natalie from the superiority
of sneral years. Natalie had always
gono with tho younger set and Ruth
had necr known her very well Natallo
had always secretly admired Ruth, now
she rather pitied her. With the secret
of a biand-new engagement to JacK
Bond locked up In her heart, an en
gagement that was to be announced that
very afternoon, Natalie wondered how
Ruth would feel about it. Only a little
over a year back Ruth had announced
her engagement to that same Jack Bond
and then had married Scott Raymond
after all. Natalie did not know so very
much about It, but sho had heard all
tho gossip there was to hear and, al
ihniirh sho liked Scott Immensely, why.
every one knew he hadn't any money
nnrt jack naa nu uiu.n. -
--
to Natalie any moro than It did to
Ruth at that moment that Scott could
hardly afford to dress Ruth as Jack
could afford to dress his wife, so that
when Ruth went on to elucidate and
spoke definitely of getting a gray suit,
Nntalle burst forth eagerly:
"You ought to look lovely in gray with
your hair. I saw some beauties at
Croft's tho other day; a perfect beauty
In Just the color you want for a hun
dred and twenty-five."
"Really." Ruth returned, turning her
fnrn awav from Natalie under pretenso
of fixing a stray lock. A hundred ana
twenty-five dollars! Why hadn t she
thought of the price before? Where on
earth would she get that much money
to spend on a suit? And that was Just
the bu. One of those blouses would
cost at least thirty or forty more, the
Bhoeu would be twelve ana intwi -"-ably
twenty or twenty-five. Over J..0O
for a spring outfit. It was laughable.
And Scott was making 150 a week! A
whole month's pay for ono outfit.
"And I know where you could get the
most delectable blouse too," Natalie was
gushing on, delighted at being of serv
ice to Ruth Raymond. "Perhaps we
can do shopping together some day.
"Who knows?" laughed Ruth. Once
that suggestion would not have been so
Impossible. The Rowlands hadn't a
great deal of money, that Is, they weren t
rich. But Ruth had always held her
own with her friends, and It there were
anything she wanted, money was never
considered too closely, ....
For the first t'.mo Ruth realized that
she almply couldn't buy a spring outfit.
Not of the kind she wanted. As she fol
lowed Natalie Into the two huge front
rooms that had been arranged with card
tables she was visualizing the kind of
an outfit she really could afford to buy.
It made her feel sick and faint. For the
first tlmo In her life Ruth was really
understanding what It meant to do mar
ried to a ooor man. When there had
been a question of marrying Scott or
not marrying him there had been Just
one thing to do. now imngs seemeu a
Itftle different. It was going to be very
hard to be shabby.
She found her place at one of the
tables and sat down almost mechani
cally. Wlen she looked up to see her
partner, she saw an Interesting looking
woman opposite. She was older, prob
ably thirty-five or so, and she smiled
at Ruth with bright twinkling brown
eyes. That was Ruth's first meeting
with Fleta Sears.

HETHER or not you agree with the i
London color specialist who aeaarcs ,
that shades of roso nnd pink are the
colors of life and Joyousness and should
therefore be used as tho shades of vic
tory rather than blue, which, as he says.
Is the color of monarchy, still ou must
admit that there was something signifi
cant In the fact that all over tho country
when armistice day assured us that tho
war was virtually over women donned
clothes of pink or roso color, or If they
did not count them In their wardrobes
they went to their dressmakers to order
them. At dances given Immediate y after
we knew that the Allies were vlctois, in-
deed, It 6eemed ns If half the women
wore ro:e-colored frocks. It was tho
way they expressed their Joyousness.
So whatever you regard ns the official
victory color whether you favor blue
and cherry, or flag blue, or green and
rose or tho shade round ln tortoise
slioll which were all suggested ns suit
able victory colors you will have tq
admit that a great many rose or pink
frocks are In evidence. Moreover, It Is
a fact that men ncmlre these colors.
They ljke rose color In furnishings and
hangings, as any Interior decorator will
tell you. It Is a wine woman who wears
a frock of rose color when she wants
to look her most charming.
The sash ln this frock Is of roe-c"I-
ored ribbon and the frock Is a lighter
pink, so light ns to bo really IIibu-jI-ored.
The fabric la a rancy trlcolctte.
The hat Is of two shades of rose
georgette, with a soft cron outlined
with a row of roses. There is a small
soft tose-colorcd bow at tho back.

WAR 111UUU.
Just Not a Gentleman
Dear Cynthia Just not a gentleman
or Just a Teuton, which Is another way
of saying the same thing.
In reading comments of "Contented
Bachelor" et nl. one Is forcibly remind
ed of the bland German Immigrant ln
an American street car nnd his succinct
ansxier ns lie deliherately ensconcea
his nmple person In the vacated seat In
i tended for his woman companion: "Das
Is nlles rlcht. Das Is melno frnu."
The self-satlBfled young egoist who
has Just aired his views evidently either
, does not wish to be a gentleman or
eise ne minus u is a matter or wenring
stylish clothes.
A gentleman is n gentle man to all,
but especially to women. One who errs
on the side of sacrificing himself too
much.
Might ono Inquire what there Is In
the marriage contract that makes It the
I wife's duty to be a personal servant to
her hllnlinml. nnd tierKnnnl servant to as
many ch ldren as he elects to have.
Also In the case of the farmer, personal
servnnt to as many hired men as ho
chooses to employ?
Sho must be a stupid woman. Indeed,
who. In this ilny nnd generation, could
not earn at some sort of Job moro than
hr linnrrl nml keen. In tho marriage
partnership many, many women handle
only a smiui pan 01 me man a Kirnnmn,
and frequently sho Is only family stew
ard fnr uhnt mnnev she does handle.
Whnt a pitiful commentary on man's
conduct Is the eager exclamation of the
farmer's wife about "her egg money."
Slnro pverv woman knows this to bo
the case It would be decent and seemly
fnr everv man to do all In his power
to lighten her buruene. at lenst worn ng

Why Men Should Help
Dear Cynthia Perhaps this letter Is
not an answer to, Should Married Men
Help? But somehow I feel I'd like to
tell our reader friends Just what does
happen when they feel It Is not their
du'y;, . - ,. T wnnt fo sav my iather
,BoM man, but he hasevT helped'
jh, interests always were outside the
home, and when at home he was always
quick to lly Into a temper, even wncn we
were young. Ho would whip me with
explaining what I had dono that was
wrong. My mother became 111 a number
of years ago a nervous breakdown fol
lowed by melancholia. I was qu ti
young, but I sacrificed nil the longed
for pleasures, worked harder every day.
while my father became still moro bit
ter. I suppose I did not Just wait on him
ns deftly a my mother, and for the
nrst time I began to realize his falling.
He would not neip.
If there was coal to drag and wood to
chop I had to get busy or almost get
down on my knees, and I'm too proud
I'll ask once, but never beg. Time
went on; the war came and he wanted
to get In It. He wns examined, passed,
but never wns called. This still further
embittered him. All this tlmo I've been
working ns a saleslady nnd recently
hnve been made head of a department,
but the strain Is beginning to tell. I
can hardly cook. Iron, sw and clean, and
work, too When I get home nt night I
have so little pleasure and would nppri
elate a little help and encouragemen
but. don't you we, we have a house
no home so little love, nnd, worse thai,
all, no respect It's all gone.
And then smo renders will say there
are no good girls who want to snerinc
to start a home. Oh. yes, thero are
very many, but through experience In
their own homes they are nfrnld, for
you can't build a home with a man who
won't help you You will have a house,
but never n home
DISCOURAGED DAUGHTER.
I wish you wouldn't he discouraged
or disgusted, dear. Begin to look for
ward to a home of your own. and when
you havo It, mnrk my words, It will be
the very happiest sort ofa home, not
house. For that is the way things go.
You must remember you have duties to
yourBelf now Make the best of your
advancement In tho department store
and come to nn agreement about the
work In the house. Take a stand and
be firm about It. It wduld be far better
for you to pay out some of your salary
to got some one to come In and help
with the work than to wear your life
away.

The results, of course, are highly In

HOW TO CURE THE HUSBAND
WHO IS ALWAYS A GROUCH
Or at Least This Method Has Cured Several Getting at the Root,
of the Reason Why a Man Thinks He Hai the
Right to Da UUTcmpcrcd.
WHUN T cooI n,s breakfast before
TT.hc comes down atalre," writes
"Dlstrncted Wife." "he mm mart nnn
snyn, 'How under the sun do you ex
pect a man to eat that cold stuff?' and
when I wait to cook It until I hear
him on th stairs, ho gets mad and
says: 'There Isn't very much required
of you around here. Tho least you
can do Is to glvo mo my breakfast on
time.' Then he cither slams himself
OUt Of tha hOUSO without wnltlnn. fnr
anything or ho throws himself into his
cnair ana reruses to speak a word
through tho whole meal.
"This Is only one instance. It la Hie
same way if tho slightest thing goes
contrary to hi wishes. My husband
10 wnat is termed a good provider, but
this temper and irrnurlnnpua of hi
sometimes make mo want to go far
away where I'll never see him again.
My two children, a boy and a girl,
aro both afraid of their father, nnd
wno can oiamo them? On tho outsldo
before strangers he is very Jolly and
peopie consider us very happy, l
often wonder If other women have to
put up with this same condition. I
am writing to you to know If there
is any way to get the better of a man
of this sort. I havo certainly dono
everything I could to please him, and
am at my wits' end."
THE only way I have seen grouchy
men cured of their perpetual Ill
temper Is to absolutely Ignore It ns
you might Ignore tho sullenncss of
nny member of the household or else
to laugh at It. If. your sister were
visiting you, for Instance, and began
tho day by sitting through a. meal
ln sullen silence, you certainly would
not be afraid of her. You would be
disgusted with her and If you wanted
to restore peace quickly you wouia
good-naturedly Ignore It.
It must ho the name with n man.
storm you make tho children keep
quiet for fear thev will annoy
him and if you yourself sit silent and
awcu in respect or his wrath, you nat
ter him immeasurably and ho has you,
as wo say of the villain in the play, In
his power. He knows ho has but to
scowl and the entire household gets
on its knees to him.
You say you havo dono everything
to please your husband. You have
done wrong. No ono in any household
has tho right to be pleased all the
time. Tho pleasures of life wero
meant to bo divided. You are treat
ing your husband as If he Is confer
ring a great favor on you by support
ing you and his two children. Oh, I
know full well he expects to bo treated
that way. In fact, that is tho whole
root of tho trouble. Men who bully
their wives and children ln their
homes believe they are doing a big
thing to keep a roof over their heads,
to givo them food and to buy clothes
for them. They want perpetual recog
nition of the fact.
A MAN who marries a woman whose
own money helps to maintain the
home wou'.d not dare to browbeat her
ln this fashion, why? Because ho
knows ho Is, by no stretch of mind,
elvlnff moro than ho is getting.
The thing to remember then is
this: No man with a good wife ever
gives more than he gets. Let him go
out and try to hire some ono to cook

his meals faithfully, to see that his
house is a placo of cheer and to end
lessly tend tho souls and tho bodies
of his little children. It simply can't
be done. Money ca'n't buy the things
a good wife puts Into tho making of
her homo and the rearing of her chil
dren. You ask If thero aro other women
with theso fair -weather -before -the-neighbors
husbands. Yes, there aro
thousands of them. And the only way
for these women to mako life happy
for themselves 1 to keep ln mind this
thought: I am giving as much as I am
getting In cold terms of dollars and
cents. "Therefore, as long as I con
tlnuo to do right by my house, thero
Is never a reason why I should cringe
or try to humor this perpetual growl
ing." Tho world has a way of treating us
tho way wo seem to expect to be
treated. If wo crlngo and seem to be
willing to accept its ecorn ws usually
get it. nut, it naving nothing to fear,
wo hold our heads high and right
fully tnko for granted tho world's
good fellowship and glad hand wo
usually get them. Distracted Wife,
this applies to tho home, although
many women do not seem to realize
it.
GET as nlco a breakfast as you can,
then to tho winds with caro If It
doesn't suit. Talk cheerfully with your
children, not in a spiteful way but
simply to givo tho youngsters tho
Jolly start their day ought to have.
Plan to take them with their littlo
friends to tho movies on Saturday
afternoons. Go out with your neigh
bors ln tho afternoon. Join a club.
Go down to tho Hed Cross and help
make littlo dresses for tho littlo chil
dren of France. Build somo happi
ness and some interests that will tako
you away from tho grind of your
home. Bring women into your homo
for an afternoon at cards. At first
your husband is going to rave, but
you aro going to let, him ravo on. Then
after a whllo he Is going to find out
thero Is a now kind of fearless, un
afraid woman with whom ho has to
deal.
What I Do With
the Left-Overs
Sunday, of course, we had roast
beef, nnd, being n hungry family,
there wasn't much left for Monday
night's dinner. There was still some
meat, you know, but It wns not ex
actly presentable. So I chopped It
up fine, added a bit of ppaghett!
that I had ln the home, mixed In
some stewed tomatoes, and flavored
the combination with Al Sauce,
which Isn't a "Worcestershire, but Is
Just about the most delicious touch
of inspiration that any dish can en
Joy. I cooked my left-overs In a
buttered covered casserole, In a slow
oven, and when Jim got through
with that dish he said he was going
to have left-overs every night. He
says It is my way of cooking for
him, and I wouldn't havo him think
anything else, but really It Is At
Sauce. Adv.
