WOMAN’S PAGE, The Sidewalks BY THORNTON FISHER. A beauty parlor after hours is an in- teresting place. What it must be when lovely women are being made lovelier by personable operators is no matter of speculation. A man's barber shop is just a cold bleak establishment where one can get & haircut, shave, shampoo, manicure and shoe sb and conve sation.

There is nothing subtle about the | operations in a beauty salon. It is es-| sentially and obviously a place which | ettacks unsightliness and turns out a | perfectly groomed women.

PR This afternoon the Marine Band will | greet the Royal Belgian Band, which | arrives in Washington. Two numbers sure to be played will be “The Star Spangied Banner” and “La Braban- conne.” The latter is the Belgian na- tional emblem. Every nation has its national hymn. *God Save the King” is familiar to all Americans, because it is our own “My Country, "Tis of Thee,” set to different words. The French national air, too, the “March Francaise,” known as the " seillaise,’ became familiar not only to all the doughboys during the war, but to the whole world. Generally speaking, aside from these, | there is profound ignorance of most other national pieces. For that mat- ter, how many loyal and patriotic citi- zens can sing every word of our own “Star Spangled Banner"? Here's about the way of us sing it: * ho say can you see-e-e by the dawn's early light what so proud- houdly we hailed at the dum-um-de- dum-de-And the rockets’ red glare, bombs bursting in air gave proof- dum - de ~-dum-oh- de - dum - dum-de- yes, we do. deny it, brothers. During the war a large group of men gathered one night in a Paris cafe, There were French, Belgian, Eng- lish, and officers from several other countries. Among them were American officers. In the corner a native band played lively tunes, including a number of national anthems. Then the musi- cians struck up “Over There.” Instant- ly the foreign soldiers rose respectfully to their feet in silence. Some of them Home in Good Taste BY SARA HILAND.

By the end of that month bird life settles down again—-the Sum mer breeders are breeding, the perma- nent residents are still permanently in residence and the migrants have mi- | grated North again.

They are about the same age, the men make about the same amount of money and they move in the same social circles. Mrs. A demands and gets the best clothes, a car, an expensive apartment handsomely furnished. ~ She gives parties they cannot afford and runs her husband into debt. Every night she makes him go to some | place of entertainment, no matter how tired he is. ~ She lies abed in the morning, while her husband gets his own breakfast, and if she doesn't feel like getting | dinner, he has to take her out to a restaurant. She berates him often in public for nof making more money and mourns about the things she has to do without. | Mrs. B is just as good-looking as Mrs. A. She dresses nicely, but not extravagantly. .She co-operates with her husband in trying to save so that he can get along in the world. He comes home to a cheerful atmosphere, a tidy | wife, a good dinner, and if he doesn't feel like going out in the evening, Mrs. B | is satisfied just to be a fireside companion. 1 However, it seems to me that Mr. A appreclates his wife far more than | Mr. B does his. Mr. A seems to think that nothing is good enough for his wife and he is always breaking his neck to plcase her. Mr. B is good to his wife, but takes her for granted | I am about to marry and T want to know how to hold my man's love. Which ! way is the better? Shall I imitate Mrs. A's method or Mrs. B's? PHYLLIS. | Answer: Well, Phyllis, you have asked me the most unsolvable conundrum in the world and tie answer to which neither I, nor any other woman, has ever found out. Ever since the first woman acquired a husband and had to deal with that strange, illogical and contradictory creature, every succeeding woman has spent her life trying to decide whether the best policy was to coddle him or treat him rough. and she still doesn't know. He still has her guessing, for sometimes one theory scems to work out and sometimes the other. So perhaps it all depends upon the man, and you will have to study the particular member of the species that you get and adapt your campaign to There are men who are just natural- born slaves and who like being trampled upon by high-heeled slippers. They actually enjoy going shabby in order to dress their wives in silk attire, and get a kick out of her looking like a daily hint from Paris, even when they know the biil collector is hot on their trail.” They are poor, weak, spiritless creatures who haven't enough manhood in them to resent their wives flouting them and Jooking with contempt upon them because they can't make more money, and they are thankful as a stray dog is for a bone when thelr wives give them a kind word. Uncoubtedly, when a woman marries this sort of man, the more disagreeably | she treats him the more groveling he is before her, and the more he tries to | placate her by showering attentions upon her and doing as she pleases, without | That is why it very often seems to women that the worse wife a woman is the more her husband loves her. Not all husbands have this meek and self-abnegating spirit, however. Not many men marry o get a boss or a tyrant or a female Simon Legree, who will lash them on and get every particle of work out of them, and who will never show them any unselfishness or consideration or appreciation. Not many men stay in love long with wives who do not make comfortable homes for them, or who Tuin them with their extravagance, or who drag them around to partics when they are dog-tired, or who bawl them out before people because they are'not go-getters, or who are fretful and whining and complaining. So T should say that if you want to keep your husband in love with you and eating out of your hand, the better w is to keep it filled with taffy and not vinegar. What the average man wants is a wife who will play the game 50-50 with him, who will make him a comfortable home, who will save his money, who will keep herself neat and attractive. and bright and interesting, and who will show him that she loves him and thinks him the best ever, and that she did a pretty good day's work when she got him. After all, you have your own self-respect to consider. You have to be right and feel that, no matter what your husband does, you've turned out a good job as a wife and given him a square deal. You can't feel that way if you have been a Mrs. A. DOROTHY DIX, l EAR DOROTHY DIX: Do you believe in the maxim that opposites attract, and that we should marry those who are entirely different from us in character and disposition, as well as physically. Unfortunately I had to leave school at an early age, but I have supplemented that by spending my spare time reading and studying. Lately I have met a girl who has all the virtues which would fit her to make a good wife, except that she has no interest in the things that interest me most. She never even reads the newspapers. We ean't discuss a book, and we don't understand each other's jokes. Do you think such a marriage would turn out well? W. 8. « oo Answer: Absolutely not. T think you would bore each other to death inside of three months. As soon as you quit asking each other “Oose sweetums is 00?2 and “Are you sure you never loved anybody before, and would die of grief if anything should happen to me?” you would have nothing on earth to say to song sparrows do suddenly become | densely abundant during the height of | their Spring migrations, just as a street near a school, devold of children a few | minutes before, or with only little tots about, is suddenly a shouting, scurrying | mass of children at half after 2. | But what I love to think of is a| bird's-eye view, almost a god's-eye view, ! of our great continent, snowy in the North, palm-waving and green in the South, dingy still in the middle where we live, with the vast phalanxes of the birds sweeping up from the tropics toward us. The tanagers and hummingbirds, the orioles and flycatchers, the cuckoos and the warblers, will come to.us from afar —from the West Indies slumbering in the Caribbean, from Venezuela and the mouth of the Qrinoco. But from Florida and Alabama, from Georgia and South Carolina will wing back to us the phoebe and the blue jay, the towhee and the swallow, the catbird and the marsh wren and the hermit thrush. They have not come as yet; the skies still ache for them, but they are on the ve, punctual, dauntless and forgiving us our trespasses against them. Salmon With Peas.

Prepare some creamed peas in the usual manner and five minutes before serving the loaf pour the peas over the loaf and bake for five minutes. My Neighbor Says: each other. It is true that there is an attraction of opposites. That is Nature's way of preserving a good general average and keeping the human race from becoming a race of ?L’\n“ and pygmies and morons and highbrows, but there is also a repulsion cf gpposites that makes people who have nothing in common with each other break cdown every barrier to get away from uncongenial companionship. The piest couples are those who, as somebody has said, marry themselves, and whe have husbands and wives who think as they think, who like the things they like, who read the same books and hold the same views on everything from politics to pie. What we want in a life partner is some one who will agree with us and applaud us, not some one with whom we will be in a continual scrap and argument. Why, half the pleasure in being married is to have some one across the breaktast table to whom yofi can look up trom your paper and say: “I see that Lindbergh is going to be married,” or “Mrs. Hoover has a new dress,” and who will catch all the points of your witticisms. You don't want to have to sit opposite & Dumb Dora all your life who will say: *Lindbergh? Is that the name of that new automobile with the wire wheels Or ask if it is Mrs, Hoover on Bpruce street you are talking about. If you have to diagram your jokes for your wife, you will go through life as lonesome as & stray dog. If you like to read, don't marry a woman who isn't a reading woman. She will badger the life out of you about wasting time and money on books. DOROTHY DIX, .. » EAR MISS DIX: Would a young man with a violent temper be a good matrimonial risk if he had no other fault? 1A M A Answer: I do not consider that any other fault that either a man or a woman can have makes as bad a risk as a violent temper. It makes one unjust, unreasonable, cruel, almost impossible to live with. If you marry a high- tempered man, you will have to stand abuse and insult, and go in terror all your days of rousing the devil in him. Don't do it. No woman was ever happy with a violent-tempered husband. DOROTHY ] DIX. 1920.)

PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM Cause of Myocarditis. | Science tells us over again that o!d‘ | age begins in the arteries. Myocarditis is a most unsatisfactory name for it, but somehow this name has come into wide use by physicians to signify that very common condition, slow heart muscle failure, which termi- nates the careers of many prominent people. 1 think one of the recent news bulietins about Foch referred to the scle- rosis of the heart. Sclerosis means dis- instance, arteriosclerosis is hardening of the arteries. But the term myocar- ditis essentially means inflammation of the muscles of the heart, and while the condition may be originally brought on by some inflammation, a doctor does not think of chronic myocardities as in- flammatory: it is just a kind of sclerosis of the muscle, and probably in the ma- jority of cases this heart muscle sclero- sis is a part and parcel of a similar process in the whole arterial system. Physiclans at present believe that chronic myocarditis is often the conse- quence of some acute infection of earlier life, such as diphtheria or acute infec- tious arthritis (rheumatic fever, inflam- matory rheumatism). They think that overexertion may be a cause, though this idea no longer bears the weight it bore with the medical fathers. Doctors today pretty generally agree that certain prolonged intoxica- tions are likely to cause the heart artery disease, cardio-vascular disease, arterio- sclerosis, myocarditis about; among these intoxications the most important is alcohol, and second comes tobacco: lead and some other poi- sons of industrial or domestic environ- ments are recognized as causes. Modern studies suggest that in a large share of cases of chronic myocarditis the degenerative changes begin in th= smaller arteries, or at least the physi- clan can recognize pathological changes in the smaller arteries bafore he can | detect _any impairment of the heart Thus Drs. J. P. O'Hare and A. W. Cal- houn of Boston and H. O. Altnow of Minneapolis, in a study of 50 cases of chronic myocarditis showing normal or low blood pressures, found signs of scle- rosis in the retinal arteries (the ve in the back of the eve) in all but one case. In these 50 cases, moreover, the of blood pressure readings or measure- ments made at previous times, and in | ease characterized by a hardening. For | BRADY, M.

In these cases the investigators took as the | criteria of the diagnosis of chronic myo- carditis not only the character of the heart sounds as heard with the stetho- scope, but the functional signs of impaired heart efficiency and the evi- dence of general circulatory insufficiency —rales in the bases of the lungs, en- gorgement of the liver and edema or swelling of the extremities. They con- clude that chronic myocarditis in per- | sons beyond middle age, in the absence {of hyperthyriodism and valvular dis- | ease, is usually of vascular origin—that |is, begins in the arteries. | Alcohol is notorious as a poison to | the arteries.
