POTD BTR NT NPP WHY MEN LEAVE HOME “‘Starved”’ Second in a Series of Articles J By Sophie Irene Loeb. Copyright, 1922 (New York Evening World) “by ‘Press Publianing Co. WOMAN is in despair. She lost her husband and blames the other woman. And if the truth were known, the other woman knew how to reach this man’s heart— by way of his stomach. If you were to ask this man he would admit this and further add: “The woman who cares enough to ‘feed the brute’ properly, cares for him, and, there- fore, has other qualities as well, so that it te not merely a matter of eat~ ing that holds many a man, but back of it is the consideration that his foods are to his liking, and that, in itself, shows a desire to please him and make him happy.” And this ts truth. Many a woman expresses her love for a man by the Manner in which she prepares his meals. It has held many a couple to- gether who might have been sepa- rated for other reasons. = This man complains that the Jcan-opener was his wife's chief kitchen utensil, and that the hur- ry-up meal was all he ever had. He was forever going to restaurants to get away from the ready-to-serve menus that confronted him nearly every day of his life. This woman bewailed the fact that she hated cocking and wel- 4 “Many a Woman Expresses Her Love for a Man by the Man- lige ti Which She Prepares His Meals.” comed everything that was ‘easy to fix.” Every chance the man got to get a meal away from home among his jends he took. One day he visited Mic home of a friend who belonged to Out of It the same fraternity. The sister of this friend did the cooking and, to make a long story short, he came often and pretty soon he will be his friend's brother-in-law. ‘The neglected wife is often a reflection of the starved husband. He did try hard to induce his wie to mend her ways, Manlike, he told her about the good things that were set before him when he visited the friend, in the hope that she would “take a hint." But thif added fuel to the flames of her resentment that she did not fill all his wants. One word brought on another, quarrels arose frequently about other matters, but {f traced directly to the real cause of their separation it would be found that their troubles were due to the unsavory meal. In a word, he was starved out of bis home. The family ties became knotted and he proceeded to break the bonds that bound him, Yes, poor cooking has sent ma man into the arms of another wornan; How soon will women understand that many a heartbreak or despondent con- dition is eased by a good meal? And that very often the board of cheer that buoys up the defected spirit is around the attractive table? Furthermore, sympathy in these matters is the salt that seasons and refreshes the sordid side of life, While it is true that we do not live to eat, we do eat to live, and the bet- ter we make that eating the more we can bear other trials. It is strange how, when one feels downlieurted and out of sorts and life seems all huddled up in a corner, a delectable meal will spur one on to greater endeavor, Many a person who has been cast down has said after a good dinner, “I didn't realize what was the matter with me, but now I know. I needed good food. There are those who preach that a woman can belong to a number of women's clubs and keep her home running as well, vet the big thing is to attend to the latter first. Women's eights may become more numerous, but the Weeds of the home are un- changing. That is to say that, though the status of woman his changed since grandmother's day, that of womanhood hus never altered, and it will ever be a part of the woman's zame to note the importance of the family's food.

Women wear them as garters, and the men seem to prefer them as arm bands, : A new swimming bag was noticed. It is of rubber with a cover of cloth and does not deflate. The girl blew it up through a tiny tube, tied it with a feeling of security. The variety in bathing suit bas was interesting. One girl carried her bathing paraphernalia in a case that looked like a music roll, It was of rubberized leatherette and had two buckled gtraps and a small handle, The whole case measured no more than nine by twelve inches, and it held all the bathing accessories.

Rubberized silk copes in attractive colors were worn in profusion even by girls who went no nearer the water than the sandy beach, One girl was overheard to say to her companion: “I've got the swellest ay of keeping my vanity dry. I just dry the inside of my cap—it takes only a few minutes—then | put the powder and the rest of the things inside the cap and roll it up.

If she can’t afford to get real cooking done there are good cook books and cooking teachers to come to her aid. I know a couple that became es- tranged because he was actually ashamed of his wife's shortcomings in this direction. He was one of those men who will stand a whole lot him- self, especially for one he loves, and he loves his wife; but the straw that broke the camel's back was the fact that he was ashamed to bring his friends to his home for meals because they were so poorly cooked, For years he gtood for it himself. But he got into ‘a business that re- quired his being sociable with his as- sociates. He was a home-loving man and disliked restaurant food and at- mosphere, but he had to resort to it and this actually led to their drifting apart. You have but to look around you to “Lisps Poetry and Expects Her Husband to Live on Moon- beams—Then Wonders Why He Is a Grouch.” see the other side of such a situation —the man who takes pleasure in bringing friends home, whose pride in his wife's cooking not only enhances his appreciation of her, but he profits thereby as well. ‘Tis a wise wife who knoweth on which side to butter her bread, pea COURTSHIP and MARRIAGE By Betty Vincent— Copyright, 1922 (New York Evening we by FP is Publishing Coe arity 6s D\EAR MISS VINCENT: D A couple of months ago | was introduced to a young man and we became the best of friends.

By Doris Doscher. {iss yere you never stop to think as you stroll along rubbing yout ankles at every few steps that each one of us has acquired an indl- vidual habit of walking. So maay have such an ungainly walk. it comes from the habit of not lifting the feet at each step and also from throwing the feet at such an angle that the ankles rub at every al~ ternate step. Just take up's pair of your old the way they are worn, It is al- ways a tell-tale of your manner of walking. Are the heels run down om one side? Is the sore all worn on one edge and perfectly good on the other edge? If so, you certainly need ta watch yourself and overcome this bad habit of walking. Many of you have a callous skin on the ankle bone from this habit of shifting along and rub- bing the ankles. Hardly two people walk exactly alike, so perhaps the way we carry ourselves While walking is the most characteristic thing about us, so just bear this in mind, The body can be controlled and a splendid walk and carriage can be acquired if you only start about rectifying these little baa habits that Interfere with a perfect stride and an even balanced carrying af the weight. Learn to place each foot firmly on the ground on the ball of the foot and carefully swing the welght to the opposite foot at each step you take. It may seem a little awkward at first, but you wilt soon remedy the bad habit of bending over on the outside—or its reverse, slouch- ing on the inside until the ankles rub. Do not try to excuse yourself by saying that you have weak ankles. You have no right to have them, as it Is very easy to strengthen the ankles by proper massage and exercises that will encourage the muscles to a firmer growth, so that the weight of the body it well supported. Often you have this bad habit In one foot only, and this gives you ap uneven gait and a very awkward stride, Perhaps this little bad habit is the lust one you would think about as marring your beauty, but not only do you make u very unpleasing pte- ture as a whole if you carry your body on weak, wabbly ankles, but it is positively injurious to the health as well, Every step you take fs jarring to the internal organs and it throws them out of their proper position. What are the consequences? You are fretful and nervous and you cannot xo for a good long walk without geét- ting fatigued and you get no good from it, This all can be remedied by o little perseverance by ‘watching your step,” making up your mind to it that you will cultivate a well con- trolled swinging of the body that will “ive you a graceful carriage. you will soon find that walking will be exceedingly agreeable to you. + Sometimes it is the fault of the shoes that causes you to throw the weight too far out or too far in, but in most cases it Is just simply a bad habit that you acquired in youth and cling to unconsciously now. It is not going to be easy for you to change your stride and you are very Hable to forget, especially when you are in a hurry, but once you have felt the buoyancy and elation that comes to you from swinging along with the body well poised and the feet and ankles well supporting the weight, I am sure you will not want to go back sso many of you are doing now.

A friend of his said: “You might just as well be sit- ting here as anywhere else.” My dear friends, this is the keynote of a happy life. You might just as well stay where you are, especially if it so hay pens that you haven't any choice in the matter. Let this apply te your job when Mister Worry makes you want to get out.. Be sure you are not just as well off the job where you are as you would be in another position. When the time is ready, you will go to another and, | hope, better job.
