The husband has kone his way and absrbed nf which his wife knows nothing. The wife has gone herself in her housekeeping, or her clubs or socigty, of which her husband knows nothing. They have literally nothing even t talk about, and they take to quarreling to keep themselves from being bored to death. her way and absorbed The most pathetic contrast on earth is that of an engaged couple who chatter incessantly to each other without ever being able to get half said what they have to say, and the same couple a few vears later yawning in | each other's faces and as silent as two mummies. | “The reason for this pitiful change s selfevident. The engaged couple had every thought, plan, hope, interest in common and hence endless topics of thrilling discussion. The married couple has separate interests, aims and ambitions, and it is only when they can meet on the mutual ground of their children’s welfare, or the housekeeping expenses, that they have anything to say to each other, and approaching this subject from different points of view | the meeting is more apt to end in a scrimmage than a love feast. The buginess man was right in saving that the world would be a happier place if women took more interest in their husbands’ business, but he might better have said that the world would be a happier place if men would let their_wives take greater interest in their business. The fault in this respect lies more with men than with women, for the average man seldom honors his wife with his business confidences. oo e { "THERE are very few husbands who ever talk over their financial affairs | with their wives, and at least half, perhaps more. of the married women | of your acquaintance have no definite idea of what their husbands are making, { or ‘what enterprises, other than their ostensible business. their husbands are interested in. The women receive an allowance, or else they are permitted to make bills which are paid with more or less grumbling. but whether the husband is overgenerous, or too parsimonious the wife has no means of knowing. This is not because the women are either so dull that they cannot understand a business proposition or so indifferent that they refuse to take interest in it. On the contrary, women have a wonderful intuition about business affairs, and are so flattered when a man will discuss a financial deal with | them that they are ready to invest in almost anything he offers them: out of sheer gratitude at being treated as an inelligent human being. So the husband—unless he has picked out an abject fool for a mate--who wants to talk business to his. wife, and explain to her the moves he makes in the most fascinating and exciting of all sports, the money game, s in no danger of not having an absorbedly interesting listener and a side partner who will'back him up to the last dollar in the family bank. A great deal of the discontent and unreason and lack of sympathy wives show their husbands comes frem the fact that their husbands do not take them into their business confidence and let them know why certain sacrifices are asked of the women It is, for instance, one thing for a man curtly and grufly to tell his wife that she can't have the new suit that she has set her heart upon, and quite another for him to explain to her why she cannot, and show her that the money saved by close economies just now will enable him to enlarge his business in a way that will provide her with gealskins and velvets a few vears hence. THERE are mighty few women who wouldn't be amenable to that kind of an argument, and also exceedingly few who wouldn't resent being “ e e “I was goin’ to marry my teacher when I growed up, but she went and took my best agate 1 dropped on the floor.” (Copyright. 1926.)

It was only a mo- ment later that Mr. Watersnake \vam# along. Again when he thought it safe, he came up and renewed his song.

Expectations BY FLORENCE DAVIES. stay on the safe side of expectations, “Blessed are they who expect noth- ing for they shall not he disappoint- ed,” Mark Twaln said, and many of us were taught that as a gospel of perfection in our youth. Then, too, we were actually afraid to sing before breakfast for fear that we would crv hefore supper. It was a part of the old puritanical suspicion of all things jovful. that made it a virtue to “soft pedal” on hopes and expectations. Perhaps we thought it was a little too much like challenging the Creator to believe that good would come. It was better to be meek, to expect little and then If anything more than nothing happened for our good we could be happily surprised. But an older and even wiser philosopher than Mark Twain gave us better counsel. Heraclitus of Tphesus sald that “without hope it is impossible to secure that which seems too good to hope for.” Now the great modern_ psycholo- gists are all agreeing with Heraclitus. The first step in the search for good is to believe that good will come. This is the secret’of the old adage that nothing succeeds like success. It 1s not only that the successful man makes others confident in him. It is also that he himself is con- scious of his own success and so believes in it and expects it so strongly that he brings it to pass. What are some of the dreams of your life? “Ah, but these things would be too good to be true’” you say. Heraclitus would not agree. The Greek philosopher would have said that it is only by hoping for those things that are too good to be true, that we bring them to pass. In any event let us have done with that old safe-and-sane policy of fear which hesitates to reach out and ask for a thing because o the fear of failure. Some of us spend our lives being afraid of life itself. Just the other day I heard a girl say. that she thought she would never marry be- cause she was afraid her husband would disappoint her. That girl has taken hold of life in crooked fashion. She needs to read Heraclitus. e A SAFE deduction —that Chase & Sanborn’s Seal BrandCoffee with its distinc- tive quality and flavor will win decades of coffee drinkers. COFFEE Seal Brand Tes is of the same high quality | under Women's extravagance may also be traced to the same cause—lack of knowledge of their husbands' business. As a general thing. women are as afraid of debt as they are of death, and when one goes along recklessly, spending more than she can afford, it is because she has never been told what she can afford. Men could save themselves a lot of money by making their partners in reality, as well as in theory, in their business. But the chief gain would be in the community of interest that a man and wife would have while struggling and scheming, and planning together to build up the grocery trade, or the real estate business, or a practice in law or medicine, and who could talk shop together when the inevitable time came when they had exhausted the question, “Are you really, utterly sure 4hat you never loved before, and that you can never love again?" wives In proof whereof observe the French bourgeoisie (who are—if divorce statistics . prove anything—the most happily married of all people), where madame and monsieur’ invariably work side by side in store or cafe, or little manufactory. The man who does not permit his wife to take an interest in his business makes two big mistakes—he misses some mighty good. shrewd suggestions in the first place, and in the second place he deprives himself of an audience that will listen with unflagging interest while he tells over and over again every detail of how he sold Smith that big bill of goods, or of the And no other human being will stan (Copyright. A Watch on the Wrist. It women are mare punctual these days it 1= probably due in large meas- ure to the popularity of the wrist watch. Before its introduction women had really no way of carrying watches. Some “toted” them on ribbons, etc., but generally a woman had to depend upon store and street clocks. Yet, strange to say, men invented the idea of wearing wrist watches. In buying a wrist watch remember that you are buying three separate things—the case, the movement and the wristband.. There are plenty of cheap movements in flashy cases, bt they are not for people who want de- pendable time. Tt is much more sen- sible, usually, to spend your money on the movement than on the case. If you are going to buy a thin model, get the finest movement that you can af- ford. Unless the mechanism is per- fect you'll have no timepiece at all. Wrist watches come in every va- riety of shape. The favorités are the oval, rectangular, square, octago! and circular ones. Unless you have a’ fat purse the circular watch is the best for you to buy. If your crystal is broken it will cost you only about 40 or 50 cents to have it replaced. The other crystals have to be made to or- der and they cost about three times more than crystals in stock. Any number of straps are made for wrist watches. Many women wear plain ribbons, others buy novelty braid. The favorite colors for ribbons are black and gray.

It won't get frayed, as ribbon will, and it weathers better. Just a hint about wearing a wrist watch. Many women wear expensive wrist watches when they play golf and tennis. Every time they strike a ball they jar the watch and gradually loosen the parts. No watch is “good enough to stand continual jarring. Besides ribbon and leather straps there are metal-link wristlets. Some of these are regular gold or silver bracelets, to which the watch is at- tached, and there is also a sort of me- tallic webbing. Silver bracelets tar- nish and they leave green marks on your skin. ‘The dial on the face of your watch should be so fixed that the “12" hand is parallel with your arm. If you travel or have occasion to be out in unlighted places in the evening, you ‘may prefer a luminous.dial. These dials have phosphorescent numbers, which gleam in the dark. The stem ‘wind should be on the outside, that is, on the side toward your hand, so that e watch can be easily wound and the hands set without removing it from the wrist. If you're a nurse or engaged in any scientific work, a second hand is a real convenience. Wrist watches are made also with split second hands. It isn't advisable to buy a watch with a so-called unbreakable crystal. If your watch should fall or be struck the crystal will bend in and damage the works if it's made of celluloid or composition. %!uo bfimfllnmr-%lm Io*lk;c rect from our m_ Pa.
