NO ‘woman ever gets her ideal husband for the very excellent reason that Prince Charmings exist only in fairy tales. In a real world real husbands are maere male creatures with tempers and nerves and narrownesses and preju- dices and littlenesses and meannesses and a large and assorted variety of human weaknesses mixed up with good qualities in even the best of them. God made 'em that way, all faulty and twisty-like, to match the women. Otherwise divorce would be even more common than it is, for no wife could stand living with a fect husband day in and day out. Nevertheless, every woman cherishes in her secret soul the vision of the ideal husband that she feels she should have had if Cupid .Infl.n't.éo:lble-cmud her. 'I‘O begin with, he would be & shelk. Tall, dark, with a classic profile and brooding, passionate eyes, but he would never know that he was handsome, nor go peacocking around, as masculine beauties generally do, expecting every woman to burn incense at their feet. Nor would he be so good-looking as to present an invidious comparison to herself. Heaven knows it is soothing to no Woman’s vanity to hear people say wherever they go: “Isn't Mr. Blank just rfectly stunning-looking? And how do you suppose he ever came to marry it homely little frump?” Then he would have a way with women. He would be gallant. He would be a parlor knight who would always be picking up handkerchiefs and pulling out chairs and kissing hands. And he would have a keen line and know how to jolly & woman along and make pretty speeches. He would be an adept at near- fiirtations, but he would never philander and he would never, never, never know that there was any other skirt but his Maria’s. He would be a masterful man; a man who dominated all about him; a man whom other men feared and of whom they stood in awe; a cold, hard, inexorable man, who forced his will and opinions on others, but he would be clay in her hands, and she could do with him as she would. Other men would defer to his opinions and respect his judgment, but he would obey her like a little child and never think of such a thing as interfering in her management of the house or the rearing of the children. If she wanted to have the drawing room done over in Empire style, Empire it would be without any foolish arguments on the subject. If she desired to go to Europe for the Summer, he would immediately perceive that she needed a sea voyage and foreign travel. If she wanted to put the children in private schools, he would say, “Yes, my dear,” not because he was weak, but just because he recognized that she was always right about such things. He would be understanding. He wouldn't be cross and grumpy and say mean, hateful things because there wasn't any dinner ready when he came home from work of an evening. He would know you simply can't break up a bridge game just to rush home and cook something for your husband to eat, and that you were not to blame if the tea held on past 5 o'clock. Nor would he raise a ruction every time you got a new hat that cost more than you should have paid and remind you that he was wearing his last year's lid. He would see that you couldn't let that uppity Mary Jones make you look like something out of the ragl nd that you just had to have a new blue hat to match your blue dress. And he would know that nobody ever notices a man’s hat, and he might just as well wea ol.d one as a new one. . Hl would be easy to live with. He wouldn't be fussy about his food and expect you to spend your time over the stove cooking him up hot meals when you could open up & can of something and get something else in from the deli- :‘n'tfia:‘n ltNor would he expect to e considered around the house or to have any n it. He would be perfectly satisfled to be ousted out of the living Toom by Mary and her bowlznd, and out of the dining room by Johnny and his gang, and out of his room by his wife’s relatives, and to have to spend his evenings sitting in the kitchen or on the back stoop, and he wouldn't expect to have even one hanger in the closet for his individual possessions. And he would simply be glad and consider it a privilege to stay at home and work while wife went away for a couple of months in the Summer when it was hot and a couple of more months in the Winter when it was cold, and he would never dream of such a wicked thing as stepping out in the long, lonely, dreary evenings. He would be & money-maker, but he wouldn’t let his business interfere with his ami his wife. He would always be able to drop his work and go away ‘with her when she wanted to take a little trip. And he wouldn't be so absorbed in business as to neglect all the high-brot movements. He would be able to take as much interest in Matisse as he does in some corporation, if he is a busi- ness man, and if he is an intellectual he would pull off killings in the stock market as frequently as he does epigrams. Above all, the ideal husband would be a perpetual lover. He would never weary of assuring his wife of his burning devntma and swearing that he couldn’t live without her. He would never forget anniversaries, and no matter how old and fat she got, he would assure her that she was still the most beautiful creature in the world. A woman's ideal husband would be a composite. Is it never finds him? wonder that she Y DIX. (Copyright, 1920.) BEAUTY CHATS Diet Made Easy.

You can lways substitute gluten bread for ordinary white bread or whole wheat or bran bread. These are healthier, although their calorie content is not so much less than white bread. A slice of rye bread is about 65 calories, whole wheat 70, white bread 100. However, whole wheat and rye bread usually come in smaller loaves, so the ordinary slice is not so large. If you can’t get the redu butter which contains no fat, I woul advise you to try the stunt we prac- ticed during the war when we were all saving foods. This was to take a pound of butter, put it in a jar with a pint of milk and beat the two until the butter took up all the milkk and became two pounds of butter. The caloric value of two pounds of butter is only a little more than the former caloric value of one pound of butter, therefore, the fat woman may butter her bread very lightly butter with an easy consclence, since d iwln‘.\\‘ an inexpensive chintz and it makes the han, fall more gracefully. same pattern of chintz was used as a slip cover for the chair.

If it were not for the weather there would be far less conyersation in the world. It's the first thing we talk about, and when we can't think of anything else to say we remark: “It isn’t the heat but the humidity.” The funny part of it is that everybody knows in advance what we have to say. Every person is a sort of weather man, every home a weather bureau. We are all sensitive to the changes which take place in the air and are probably more affected than we realige or our words indicate. Weather is both a con- dition of the atmosphere and a state of mind. How would it be if, instead of talking so much about “it” when we say “it is raining” or “it is cold” or “it will be warmer tomorrow,” we were to say something about the state of weather within our hearts? There are some people of whom it might be said “it is snowing in their souls.” Indeed, I know a man who i8 a perpetual blizzard. Or we might speak of a delightful person as one who is always fairer and warmer than oth- ers about her. Then there are some wonderful folks in whose hearts of help- fulness the air blows with the steadi- ness and strength of trade winds. Of course, there are the stormy peo- ple, in whose hearts bad weather can blow up out of a clear sky, and then those cloudy people! How they cast shadows over the whole bunch when they heave in sight! They make the ‘weather man tired. The weather in the skies of woman- hood has undergone a great change in recent years. Perhaps we do not know just when the winds shifted and began to blow the short skirt the way it had tied the long one in knots, or when it coquetted with the permanent wave the way it had made a mess of long hair. It may have been just before the Great War when the beginning was made, rtainly great changes have taken place since the doughboys crawled up out of the trenches and came home, But the change is here now, all right, so that we enjoy a kind of breezy weather which gave our mothers a fit until they got into it and trimmed their sails accordingly. I don’t want to any too much, but it seems to me that we ought to be prepared for storms in the new sky of womanhood, where fresh winds are springing up in new quarters. Men have crossed the ocean in a boat fit only for a lake, and here's a fellow who salled around the in a sloop. Maybe that's what we are trying to do with our new freedom under new skies with their novel weathers.

With its advent this Summer milady found that another addition had been made to her beauty problems. At first she wondered why with this style of make-up her eyes appeared duller and her brows and lashes seemed paler than when she used natural or pink-and- white face powders. For it is a fact that the darker shades of powder have a tendency to make the eyes look less bright and the eyelashes and brows lighter. So now # little more attention must be given to grooming the little hairs in the vicinity of the eyes. There is nothing which adds more loveliness to a face than a pair of clear, expressive eyes. Unfortunately, one cannot change the natural eye color be- cause it does not please one’s fancy, but t | since the condition of the eyelids, lashes and brows has as much to do with beauty as eye color, the attractiveness and appeal of the eyes themselves may be greatly enhanced by simple beauty b why grooming of lashes and s why gr eyebrows should not be neglected. If the hairs are so light that they do not give a definite accent of color to the face they detract greatly from the beauty of the eyes. The remedy in this case is to use an eyebrow pencil or mascara to darken the tiny hairs. 1! the eyebrows are scanty as well as pale in color they may be brushed every day with an oily lotion, such as the following: One ounce castor oll, two drams glycerin, one ounce olive ofl, two ounces- cologne water, ten drops oil of bergamot. U‘: lk: small eyebrow brush to apply the tonic. Wlwx?ney vaseline is another very sim- ple but effective oily substance to use for darkening and' encouraging the growth of eyebrows and eyelashes. Ap- ply it to the brows with a fine eyebrow brush, using care that none gets into the eyes, as it may make them smart. ‘When dressing for an evening party milady will find that just a faint tinge of eye shadow rubbed lightly on the up- per eyelids will make her eyes appear far deeper and lovelier in hue. For brown or hazel eyes use brownish green, or brown eye shadow; for blue eyes use a blue or violet eye shadow, for green or gray eyes select a greenish gray shade of eye shadow. Be sure co_lpva this very sparingly and the resuit will be most flattering to the wearer. To apply eyebrow or eyelash darkener, warm the cosmetic the small brush and then pass it over the brows and lashes lightly and very fully. e-r!ey“ ’whlch are not comfortable are never clear and bright.
