WOMAN'’S PAGE Charm Should Begin at Home BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. ‘The preserving of household formali- ties may be compared to the antidote which English officlals in tropical coun- trics employ to perpetuate the civilized the white man. There is the impulse to let things go, or as the expression has it, “go native.” ‘Among the trivial-seeming methods all odds is the matter of dressing for dinner, Such an observance has be- come almost a symbol of the inner pride of race which will not let the corroding infiuences WorK. ‘There are, in a home many relaxing impulses which if indulged without re- strain let a man or woman lose the pride of appearance, of manner, indeed of many of the social graces which were held high in the period before mar- riage. Just as it takes effort not to “go native” in the tropics, it requires a certain amount of fortitude to uphold the observances which make of a home something more than a place Wwhere food and shelter are obtainable. It is, as a rule, the part of the woman more than the man of the house to set such a standard, but without the co- operation of others of the housenold, her single handed effort is difficult. In is well to practice being at one’s best day or evening. Although this is a | courtesy to the others of the home, 1t is, most of all, a kindness to oneself. No one can be as much benefited by such an assertion of inner pride as the onc who demonstrates such charm. Charm Should Begin at Home.

C, FRIDAY, A Discovers Preference for He-Man The Kind of Man Women Love \DorothyDix For a Husband Who Will Dominate Her, and If} She Gets Him, Sticks by Him, Even 1f He Beats Her. DO women like cavemen? Yes. Undoubtedly. The one quality that women value above all others in a man is force, mental or physical. They may ad- | mire a man who is good and gentle and kind and tender, but he never thrills them as does the strong man. If every woman got her heart's secret desire, she would be wooed with = club and dragged off by the hair of her head to her mate's cave. Or else she would adore being abducted by a lover who would use strong-arm methods and force her to marry him in spite of herself. That is why the bold suitor always | gets the girl while the humble adorer invariably gets left. Of course, women do fall in love with timid, weak men, but the affection they give them is material. They love them as they would a child, with a pro- tecting, pitying love that is no more like the love that they give to a stalwart, upstanding he-man than near-beer is like champagne. It is the fact that women revert to the cavewoman in their emotions that explains that mystery of feminine psychology—why a woman who is married to! a man who is everything tha‘ is fine and noble, and who lavishes upon her a | perfect devotion, and who works his fingers to the bone to supply her with | every luxury, so.often utterly fails to appreciate him or seemingly to have any | affection for him whatever, while, on the other hand, the woman who is married | to a brute who beats and starves her, adores him and sticks to him through | thick and thin. Many a time in the divoree courts I have seen a handsomely dressed woman getting a divorce on some trumped-up charge of uncongeniality or incompatibility from a splendid man who had done everything he could to make her happy. And many a time in a police court I have seen a poor, shabby woman draw her thin shawl across her breast to hide the bruises that her hus- band had inflicted upon her and lie about falling and hurting herself, to save him from going to 4ail, and then follow him as meekly as a dog, knowing that she would get another beating whan they got back home. X ¥ IT is one of life’s little ironies that women should have struggled for centuries to get equality with men, which they really do not want. Theoretically, as a sex, we may desire to stand on the same platform with men as their peers, but individually, as women, we want to look up to some men. No woman realiy wanis to be her husband's equal. She wants him to be her superior. She wants him to be stronger than she is. Wiser than she 1s. To have better judgment than she has. She wants somebody she can lean on. Snnv‘blndy she can depend on. Somebody to whom she can turn for advice and counsel. - Men do not mind looking down upon their wives. You will often see a | | man who is married to & woman greatly his inferior, a woman who is not m | his class mentally or socially, yet he will still love and cherish her because of other good qualities she possess But it is a fatal thing for a woman to marry UGUST 2, 1929.

But he keeps weaving in and out, to pass this skate and t'other scout; he makes his motor fairly dance: he's always prompt to take a chance. The gods protect him for a while, they seem to guard him every mile; but ‘soon or late they let him slide to meet the doom so long de- nied. A million lads now lying dead might buoyantly and blithely tread, and walk with us and sing and dance had they refused to take a chance. ‘WALT MASON. (Copyright, 1929.) .

You cannct keep anything that does not belong to you and you know this knife is nct vours. Never mind about finding it. You haven't tried to find its ovner. Come along.” John delayed in every possible way. He had to get a drink. He had to put on a clean blouse. He couldn’t ind his hat.
