PO P [P RS g CORRESPONDENT wants to know what T sider the ideal marriage. Of course, there isn't angsguch thing as an Idcal marriage, nor js there such animal as a perfect husband or wi Matrimonys like all other makeshift relationship, full of faults and blemishe 1 wives still remain blundering hu ¢ ways, and general cu any human institutions, is a and weaknesses.

If that wouldn't establish matrimony on a platform of mutual sympathy, and understanding, and forbearance, and tolerance, and appreciation, then L don’t know what would, For the biggest fly in the ointment of matrimony is the secret belief that both husbands and wives cherish that each got the hot end of the bargain in the domestic partnership, and that he or she has to do all the work and bear all the burdens, while l‘h(' party of the other the job and leads a gay and carefree life. I The woman who has never earned a dollar in her life thinks that making money is the simplest trick in the world. You do something with a thing called busine: and voila, there it is! ” Going downtown is always a sort of a spree for her, and she pictures. it | that way for her husband. Bhe sees him in her mind’s eve meeting other men, exchanging good stories with them, smoking cigarettes, going out to lunch, and what there is in this to tire a man so much that he comes hom too exhausted to want to go out to the theatér or to a party she can't unde and. through, cooking, and cleaning, and scrubbing, and taking care of a fretful baby, he would have a right to talk about his nerves and complain of being weary. “It is women who have the hard time in married life.” NS ND the man smiles cynically at wife's grumbling over her Home means to him a place of rest and relaxation, and when his M mplains about the endless work of keeping a family comfortable he tells her she doesn't know when she’s well off; and, by Jove, he wishes he had | nothing, to do_but just stay at home and look after the children and get a few meals and sweep up the floors. his Tot Now, the average man does not begrudge the hard labor it upport his family. Nor does the average woman rebel at the endless | sacrifices required of a wife and mother. All that both the man and woman really want is to be pitied a little, praised a little, appreciated a little, and for the other one to realize that matrimony isn't all | him or her, either. | That is why the business woman makes such a good wife | who has earned her own bread and butter doesn’t think or store as a pleasure ground. She knows it for a battlefield on which | fights daily |life. She knows that every dollar he earns is wet with blood and sweat, and The woman he THE QUAI LITTLE TREES IN F HORIZONTAL OR PERPENDICULA CURTAIN COR: TO MAK MOTIFS, INCEASE THE SPACI I'HE CORNER BLOCKS, e quaint little trees, all in a row, | that are fu the insertion shown today, match a filet edg w ch may be used separately and is complete in itself, still, together they form a per- fect wi The design tickies one fancy, It is amusing and fascinat- | ing. There many ways in which | it can be successfully used. The reg- | ulation style is to use a row of inser- | tion above the lace, but there are u usual ways also. The trees can be used as motifs in- stead of insertion. For instance, one inset in a towel a little above mel g ile ea is edge (finished with the lace) and in the center of the width, gives just a| suggestion of added trimming. It also | strikes a note of harmony that is as pleasing as it is decorative. Or, in stead of one motif only, three or five of the small filet trees may be used, ome in the center, as mentioned, and | the others at equal distances apart. On Tabie Covers. | On table runners, dresser scarfs, etc., | this same idea can be carried out. In| square centerpieces the insertion should be used along every side arate: motifs may be insct in corners | of covers. The trees should stand in | the same position as in the insertion | below. Two motifs may be used. one on each side of the corner. there | may be two on.each side. The motifs | may have narrow strips of the linen eft between them thatsthe trir ming forts x larger, diviled orna- ment | Sep- | Adapting the Design. When the insertion is used with t lace in curtains remember to have the trees all pointing toward the top and standing erect and prim in their lit- tlo tubs. To make the pattern in this | way begin to crochet from the lowest | edge, making the tub first and then | the tree and continue to make the | tubs and trees perpendicular. Bdging for towels and flat work should be | worked just the other wayv—that is, | crossways of the design, so that the | tubs will all stand along one length- wise edge and all tops of trees e in line along the other, form- | ing a horizontal row instead of a per pendicular one. The lower corner of the curtain may have a perpendicular motif inserted at equal distance from each of insertion. How to Insert Motifs, the benefit who | of the u d motifs, let sug- thod.
