They expec; them to have dual characters that ars the exact antitheses of each other, and to be able to change from one to the other with lightning rapidity, as the occasion may require. Of course, men will deny this, but nevertheless it is true that if each hus- band had his heart's desire he would be united to a versatile lady who was a | | Dumb Dora and a Solomon in petticoats: a clinging vine and a sheet of armor plate: a,nifty dresser and a tightwad; a stepper-out and a home body, and who had, in addition, discovered the secret of perpetu money out of the air And when he #nds that he has married merely an ordinary human woman who is an assorted bunch of limitations, he is disappointed and fecls that fate | has given him a rotten deal This is what makes matrimony such a bewildering proposition to a woman. She naturally thinks that the reason her husband picked her out for a wife from among all of the thousands of other women he knew was because he admired her particular line. Therefore, she Is flabbergasted when he begins to knock it and she discovers that he desires her to display a diametrically opposite assort- ment of attractions. It Is as unreasonable as if he expected to buy potatoes in & jewelry store or ice cream at the butcher's. (F, COURSE, it would clear up the situation if, when a man went shopping for a wife, he would pick out the tvbe of a ladv he wanted and would marry a highbrow or a moron or a fashion plate or a dime-nurser or a good cook or a soulmate, as his needs and taste might indicate. But the matter isn't as simple as all that, for the trouble is that a man | He demands | isn't satisfled with his wife making good on one of these counts. | all of them and otherwise considers her a fallure and feels that he has been taken in and swindled in the matrimonial bargain. Practically every man, for instance, wants his wife to look up to him and to be dependent on him. He wants his wife to seek his advice and to regard him as an oracle. He likes to feel that he is far wiser than she, that she leans upon him, and would not know what to do without him. He likes to have her ome (o him for money The real reason that so many men refuse to give their wives an allowance | is not so much because they begrudge them the money as because they get a kick out of their wives having to come and beg them for every penny they get It makes them feel like a benevolent Providence (o their wives. But while men want their wives to be helpless and dependent, they also want them to be efficlent and self-reliant. They want their wives to be able to handle their end of the partnership competently. They want them to be good and thrifty managers, who can get the most out of a dollar and who know how to save money. They want them to use intelligence and firmness in rearing their children 1f misfortune comes they do not want their wives to be milistones around their necks. They want them to have courage and initiative, and to be able to put their shoulder to the wheel and help pull the family wagon out of the mire. There are other men who fall for morons. A girl makes a hit with a man because she is little and cute, with the amusing tricks of a pet kitten. He finds her mistakes .and ignorance piquant. She talks baby talk to him and he can listen by the hour. So they get married. but Sweetums bores him to tears when she continues to chatter as meaninglessly as a canary bird. He gets fed up on baby talk as soon | as he would on a steady diet of chocolate eclairs, and he yearns for the plain roast beef of intelligent conversation, and for a wife who is a companion and not a toy. Yet he doesn't want a practical wife, either. He doesn’t want her to sit up and discuss the Einstein theory of an evening at home, nor does he want to have to listen to the household budget and the high cost of living. Nor does he want a wife who is always sensible and expects to be, and who looks upon him as a cash register instead of a man, and who thinks it foolish to teil her hysband, | who is getting fat and baldheaded, that she still regards him as a shiek, and A Sermon for Today BY REV.

Times have changed, however, and | judging {rom my reader mail there are many girls and women to whom the problem of ungainly knees is a very seri- | ous one. There are three types of ungraceful knees—the fat, the bony and the knock- knee. The fat knee has a lump on the | inner side and appears sto be swollen. | This Is often due to wearing round gar- | ters. Overweight, however is the pri- mary cause, though the figure that is | slender above the waist and heavy be- low may have fat knees even though the weight be normal. In these cases persistent exercise will help reduee the fat. Any exercise that involves strong | flexing or rotating of the leg at the knoe is suitable. Walking and kicking are good, The bony knee is a sign of under- weight. The remedy is simple and ob- vious. No special exercises are needed in this case, but the knee may be mas- saged for about five minutes a day to| stimulate the cireulation. Tight garters are to be avoided, as they impede circu- lation in the leg. | Knock-knees are usually found in tall, thin, young people who have been grow- | ing rapidly in height without a prapor- | | tionate gain in muscular strength.

It was flooded with sunfight “That ought to be a lovely room for children,” said mother. “Light and air are the first things needed. I've made sure of that.” When Betty was 2 vears old she be- gan to fuss about taking her nap. She was plainly sleepy, but no sooner had her head touched the pillow than she began whimpering and putting her fists insher eyes. “You must Now, no fussing. take your nap. Betty I tell you to lie down and keep still. Do you hear me?” Betty heard, for she changed the whimper into a shrill cry and soon made the rafters ring with her woe. “There lsn't a single thing the matter with her. Not a thing. She has been fed, had a drink, all her clothing is comfortable and she has plenty of light and air. The next thing she gets is @ spanking.” Each nap time was a battle. Betty fought desperately to get away from | her crib and her mother fought just as hard to keep her there. Both were worn out at the end of the two hours Betly did not gain in weight as she should have and she seemed tired carly in the day. Yet she refused her nap. Mother called in the doctor. “This the room she sleeps in? M-m-m. This is her bed? M-m-m Could you move her bed into this cor- ner between these two windows, so the afternoon sun does not shine into her face, and shade the windows on the | other side? You'll find the child will sleep better in a semi-darkened room.” “But I want the child to get all the |light and air possible.* “Of course. All that is possible.
