And. these unhappy and unlucky husbands invar their spouses “modern wives.” Answers Question by a Positive Negative Are Modern Wives Inferior? fably characterize ut that kind of a wife, brothers There have always been women since born too tired to work. There have and there have always Why, there is nothing modern abo is as old as human sin and weakness. the very beginning of time who were always been women who were grafters and shrews, been husbands who were their victims. It you could go back to our remotest ancestors in the cave days. you would find that there was some sleek female who always loafed on the job and managed to get out of doing her share of labor, and who made some big hairy giant of a husband jump when she spoke to him. i 'No, the parasitic wife isn't a modern invention. Tempers aren't i new form of lscord as jazz is. Nor is nagging a new way women have devised of expressing their opinions of their husbands as broadcasting is. The drone wife and the vixen wife have always been with us, and probably always will be with us, but I think that we can say in all fairness that the tribe has not increased, and that such a woman is no commoner now than she was in the past. the contrary, the greatest modern irprovement ix the improvement {n women. They have learned efficiency and acquired habits of industry through being in business. They have learned how to handle money thriftily by making it. Education has broadened their outlook, and| given them @ truer sense of valie, and s, taking them by and large, the present generation of wives are the best helpmeets men have ever had course, it is natural for us to idealize and glorify the good old times Men are espectally prone to do this, and to let their imaginations run riot when they picture the woman of the past. i "They figure her as a composite of Patient Griselda and a French chef and a cash register, and think how lucky grandfather was to have a wife who was content to stay put in her kitchen and concoct dainty dishes for him to eat; who néver talked back, no matter how she ‘was treated, and who wae a miracle worker who could run a house and put up a good appearance, without also running up bills. Indeed. on No such creature ever existed as this mythical perfect wife of the past, but if it were possible to summon grandmother from the shades, grandson would have none of her. For the modern man demands far more of his wife than the old-fashioned man did of his. In grandfather's time, for instance, all that a man expected of his wife was for her to be & good housekeeper, and a good wife and mother. That was all, and when she performed her dutles in those respects she could knock off and call it aday. T1e didn’t expect her to remain perpetually young and beautiful and keep a boyish figure. He didn’t expect her to ba a vamp and a fascinator: to have always read the latest book, and to be ready to grab her hat and run with him whenever he felt like stepping forth. But the modern man wants his wife to do all of that, She must be a blue-ribbon cook who can make old sheep tasto like Spring Jamb. She must be a financler who can get 106 cents out of every dollar. | She must be able to be up all night with a sick baby, and appear serene and smiling in a pink frock at breakfast. She must be able at 40 to keep him from looking slantwise at the flappers. She must be queen of the jollicers, a working partner, a playmate, a siren, and a wife all rolled into one. . .o SOME tittle job, what? One that takes a bit of doing. as our nglish friends way. Yet there are thousands upon thousands of women who are making good on it every day. % The only way grandmother had of helping grandfather was by being a weight around his neck that made him realize that he had to strike out and fight for all that he was worth, or else it would crush him. The modern wife shares her husband's burden. Her hands are not weak and clinging. They are strong to p f they are poor she goes out and helps support the family. and holds the social position. Behind the door of nearly success you will find his wife. @ money, she makes every modern man's | A great many men have the idea that their mothers and grandmothers were more industrious and frugal than their wives are. because thev spent all of their time scrubbing in their kitchens, while their wives belong to clubs and go to parties, and have leisure to amuse themselves. The modern woman really works just as hard as the women of the past but household conveniences lighten her labor to a large degree, and she aid, heels just has acquired efciency, and learned how to let her head save her as a husband has. Furthermore, the woman of today has to wrestle with a demon that the woman of the past never knew-—the high cost of living—and the miracle of financlering that the average wife does with her housekeeping allowance would entitle her to be Secretary of the Treasury, or head of the Standard | Qil Co. if she got her just deserts. Of course, the modern wife is far from perfect. Heaven knows she would be no fit mate for the modern man if she were! But king her all in 2 she puts out a pretty good job in her line.

The real beauty of the hair lies in jts color and its luster: and this is particularly true these days of very short bobs, when length has been sac- vificed and thickness s counterfeited by fluffiness. Some people are born with hair of a beautiful rich eoloring. And most others can improve the quality of the hair coloring by good care. But even whose hair is an ugly drab—can transform it into beauty by giving it luster and life. Good care will do this naturally: here are a few suggestions for getting the me effect riitlcially First—The night before the hair is to be washed massage the scalp thor- oughly with hot elive ofil. About a tablespoonful will be enough. If it is hot, the sealp will take it up more readily, and it you rub and rub, vou can rub most of it in. 1 | TR i | | i BY EDNA KENT FORBES. every bit of dirt and soap is out, until the hair feels clean and sleek. Rub partly dry, then comb it as you like to wear it, put a cap-shaped hair net over it to hold it in place and dry with heat—either in ihe sun or be fore a fire. This “shapes” the hair. It the hair is not beantifully glossy after such treatment, use a v of the finest guality brilliani can buy. A drop or so on brush run through the hair will give it a splendid luster.

Health is inseparable from the feeling of youth, just as it is from charm. Women who suffer from the slow poisoning of decaying teeth or diseased gums, even if not ill, be- come and Jook old. Lack of vitality, not years, makes faces sag. Pain and worry, not age, cause wrinkles. Take care of your teeth! Your health depends upon them just as the youthful contour of your face does and the brilliant charm of your smile. Once people thought it was enough to merely brush their teeth to prevent decay, but modern dentists have discovered that that is not sufficient. Most decay is caused by acids. These acids form where your tooth-brush does not reach, in the little fissures on and between your teeth, and along the line where your gums meet your teeth—The Danger Line. In order to prevent decay there you must use a dentifrice which will neutralize those acids. That is what Squibb’s Dental Cream do Squibb’s Dental Cream is made with more than 50 per cent of Squibb's Milk of Magnesia—a safe, effective antacid. Particles of the Milk of Magnesia remain in the crevices along The Danger Line for a considerable period after use and neutralize dangerous acids as they form. Guard your teeth and gums. Begin the use of Squibb’s Dental Cream today. The youth you treasure so much may depend upon it.
