rg eS eeo1hon @ 3 New Novel Raises Old Ques- ,,. tion and Wives Who Have ! Read It Differ Widely on the Answer. en: 1922 (New York Evening World), Press Publishing Company. . QHOULD a wife keep her husband guessing in order to hold him? ‘This is ‘a question which is be- ing warmly debated by the feminine readers of a woman's magazine. Wives who claim to speak from both “obsetvation and experience are em- Phatic in their assertions that hus- bands should be kept in a state of un- 9 certainty, and that their love should be constantly. fanned by the same competition which lent zest to their pre-marriage days. In other words, no wife should relax after the wedding cere- mony, but should see to it that her stock of admirers is ever on the increase and that her hus- ind should never settle down ith a dull thud from the excit- ing game of pursuit into the stag- nation of possession. One woman reader declares without Modification that in HER town the husbands are more devoted to an un- certainty than a certainty, and that they ‘‘one and all accept their wives at other: men’s vatuation.’’ Another warns overdevoted wives to discover that fact before it is. too late—"before the summer has passed, and the snows of winter come.” The whole question was raised by rgaret Deland’s —_ just-published jovel of married life, “The Vehement Flame,” which was then running seri- ally in the magazine. A woman reud- er’s letter was printed to the effect that Eleanor, the heroine, lost her husband's love by permitting him to be tpo sure of her. That started an valanche of letters on the suviect. “M, C. L."’ of Texas stated the case simply and bualdly: “If we are to hold our men we must keep them guessing, and | / never let them know they are the @he and only man in our lives. “Bleanor, in ‘The Vehement Flame,’ ‘wes not poplar with men. She lived entirely for one, and that vne, natu- ly, soon tired of her devotion. It an old song to him, just as it is to mi.ions mors. "fT remember when I, a little girl im, pigtails, Sat open-eyed and open- ‘ mouthed upon an unpainted pine bench in a district school, dimly light- ed with dripping tallowy candies, while two keen-witted old farmers hotly debated that favorite but never- theless threadbare question, ‘Re- | solyed, that there is more pleasure in pursuit than possession.’ They had | pursued and they possessed, hence \ were in a pos.tion to speak. “More than once haye I listened to @ debate upon the same question, and, usually, the affirmative wins. We ‘wore. sometimes err by allowing that ing of secure possession to become too deeply rooted for our 0 -n good."" On the other hand, several women readers objected strenuously to the keep-them-guessing slogan. They are inclined to stick to the time-honored recipes for holding a ?.usband, and ad- vorate cooking rather than coquetry, diplomacy, rather than devilishness, petting rather than philandering. N. M. C. of Sewickley, Pa., for in- stance, declares that ‘a man wants sympathy, a pal, a cook, a mothering person who will agree with him, play with him when he wants to play, as My Favorite Coiffure ee Sereen Beauties Tell Secrets in Hair Dress.

SHOULD A WIFE KEEP Her Husband ‘“‘Guessing”’ IN ORDER TO HOLD HIM? listen to him when he wants to talk, feed him what he likes to eat, and love him always.” (Note the italics.) She also declares that the hero, Maurice, in "The Vehement Flame’ was quite Justified in seeking temporary comfort —and comforts—in the cozy, if cheap, quarters of Lily. Husbands often are driven by their wives into the apart- ments of the Lillies of this world, the reader further states, because they can ‘always find elsewhere what they do not get at home." If only Eleanor had known how to cook! “Maurice did a perfectly natural thing, in my estimation, when he sought good food and companionship in Lily's) apartment,'' she writes. “And when the test came, he fell, as will happen forever and ever as long as Nature holds sway on the earth. A husband's home should be one which he would not wish to leave—and only the wife can make it such. Doubt or uncertainty does not hold husbands. They lead him forth to some one he does not doubt; to some one he can be certain of—and the wife cries around and says her husband's untrue, when he 1s forced to it.” agen ae FAMOUS WOMEN PRINCESS OF MONACO. HE only, American woman to enjoy the distinction and sut- fer the disillusionment of be- ing the wife of a sovereign is Alice Heine, who was born in New Or- leans sixty-four years ago. Her father was Michael Heine, a Jewish banker, who made a@ fortune in New Orleans and settled in Paris after the Franco-Prussian War. His daughter, Alice, became the bride of the Duc de Richelieu, scion of an ancient French line and enormously fat. She bore him a son and a daughter, after which he died. Alice Helne, Duchess of Richelieu, remained a widow many years before she was wooed and won by the Prince of Monaco. Life with the sovereign Prince of the tiny, country of Monaco—noted principally for its great gambling resort, Monte Carlo—was not a bed of roses, and she soon tired of it. The Prince was given a divorce, naming a musician as corespondent. Mme. Heine, mother of the Prin- cess, died in France in 1916.

Largest HILE July 4 is the most im- W portant date in American history, that day, has played an important role generally, in the march of events. For instance, it was on this date in the year 1754 that Col. George Washington, who had not yet be- come the Father of his Country, suffered his first defeat in war. He was then only twenty-two years old. He surrendered his small army, and Fort Necessity, on that July morning to the French, who had attacked him with superior numbers, He received all the honors of war, being per- mitted to march from the fort with colors flying amd drums beating. Tt was on July, 4, 1846, that the in- dependence of California was de- clared. California was then Mexican territory, A revolution was started by a party of fourteen Americans, who captured Sonoma and declared war against Mexico. They needed a flag and not daring to use that of the United States, cet about making one, not out of an old petticoat, as has sometimes been said. Instead, they procured a Mexican scarf of unbleached linen, a yard wide and five feet long. Along the bottom they sewed a strip of red flannel, and in the left upper corner they painted a star with red ink, The middle of Historical Events of July 4th the flag was occupied by bear, beneath which were “California Republic.” The government thus set up is known In history as the Bear Flag Republic, The grizzly bear was rather crudely drawn, and the Mexicans said it was a pig, calling the flag the pig flag. a grizzly the words temporary On the Fourth of July, 1823, Thomas Jefferson, third President of the United States and author of the Declaration of Independence, died at the age of elghty-three, just fifty years after the signing of that historic document. James Monroe also died on the Fourth of July, at the age of seventy-three. The first stone of the Washington Monument in Washington, D. C., was laid by President Polk, seventy-four years ago, More than thirty-six years passed before the cap-stone was set in position in 1884, The height of the monument is 665 feet, and it is the loftiest structure of its kind in the world, There are, of course, many buildings and towers which are higher, but no monuments. memorial to the “Father of his country’ is only nine feet higher than the Mole Anto~ nelliana in Turin, Italy, The highest point reached by the builders of the ancient world was achieve in the pyramid of Cheops a!

Take iced or cold drinks and foods slowly, preferably, at the end of a meal and not between. . Avoid mixtures and too many kinds of differing foods at one time. Overindulgence in cold drin pe cially ice cream or sodas taken be- tween meals, keeps the stomach in a continual cold storage condition, which is not good for it. Frozen dishes are best taken at the end of a meal or very slowly. In any case a Person who is warm or overheated should never drink a cold beverag rapidly, because the shock to the nerves of the stomach may, be very, severe or fatal. Sudden changes of weather in a hot season are particularly trying, espe- clally if accompanied by humidity Such atmospheric conditions most af- fect digestion and it is during thei that we should take the greatest pre- cautions with our eating, Many, vf the victims of heat prostration prob- ably do not realize that their attack follows closely, on either overeating or indulgence in wrong foods at a time when their entire digestive system was already greatly, relaxed by, the severe heat. Of all the rules of the “Big Six’ given above, the last one in regard to mixtures is most frequently, violated How we do love to stow away, job lots of food, especially when we are out on @ plenic or off on a holiday! ¥irst, we tackle a dubious chowder or other sea food; @ little later as we rambl> further we are tempted by a “hot dog’ of unguaranteed pedigree, and after that we are still able to con sume popcorn, salted nuts and sweets without number.

There are a lot of tenants in this house I won't turn my hand for, be- cause they, never seem to appreciate the work of us domestic engineers— that’s the professional name of us house superintendents who have intri- cate machinery, to look after, Why, with the steam plant in these apart- ments, a domestic engineer haa the keeping of the lives of everybody in his hands. And they, don’t realize how thirsty, his work makes a domestic engineer,” “I told Gertrude, the maid, to give You @ bottle of home brew any, time you were doing any, work for us,"* said Mrs. Jarr sweetly, “Yes, ma'am, the young lady, in the kitchen did give me some home brew when I came upstairs before to look at this dumbwalter,"" replied ‘the Janitor. “And not that I’d like to complain, but I don’t think, me being « domestic engineer, and not an ash-wrestling Swede janitor, that I should have been handed a stump."’ “A stump?” repeated Mrs. Jarr. “Yes, ma’am, a stump is the tech nical name for a bottle of beer that’ been put back in the ice-box after it’s been half emptied. Of course, them kitchen mechanics don’t know no bet- ter but to hand out a stump.
