Down by Raton Nexson Mike Murpuy With tHe Marines How to Keep Your Wife’s Affection By Fronexce W. Tow (OO much emphasis has been laid in popular household magazines upon the gentle art of holding your husband.” If the Emancipated Woman is truly one of the most influential factors in the life of today, it may well behoove Friend Husband pend a little spare time over the question of “hold- ing his wife.” With this idea in mind we offer a few suggestions which may, be useful to the anxious hus- band, at the same time requiring as little as possible of the time and brain power of the T. B. M. The husband should always be careful to return home to his busy spouse fresh and attractive. After her day’s concentration on affairs of political and eco- nom mportance she will not want to see him come home from the office tired and lumpy-looking. He should brush his hair and eyebrows, straighten his tie, wash his hands and bathe them in almond cream before leaving his place of business. What little time he ex- pends in this way will be amply repaid by the light of appreciation in Wife’s blue eyes. Matters of looks are perhaps more important than Friend Husband realizes. He should massage carefully ht and morning to avoid those incipient wrinkles; e should not grudge the time spent in creaming his complexion and treating his hair. A small patent curler has been invented which will give just the desired wave to the forelock. It may be bought at any department store. He should be very careful to keep his figure trim, with that youthful smartness of line so irresistible to the fair sex. If necessary he should walk to the office every morning and spend his lunch hour doing dumb- bell exercises. If a tendency to fleshiness seems to be gaining, a flexible boning is strongly advised. To pre- vent the development of the unsightly double chin it is well to wear the Reduso chin protector to bed. In the matter of clothes Husband should be guided by the latest styles and should have enough variety so that Wife will not become weary of one suit. If he could remember to wear her favorite color tie on special Rerurnisues His Orrice Arter a Year f occasions, it would bea delicate touch. Socks, ties and gloves in matching or carefully con- trasted shades give an insouciant effect. A flower in the buttonhole suggests eternal Springtime and romance. The proper amount of sympathy and in- terest shown in Wifey’s work is of course essential. Husband will do well to keep in touch with the special problems she has in hand. Time spent in the study of these subjects will not be wasted, as it will enable Hubby to ask intelligent questions and per- haps even to offer helpful suggestions now and then. If, however, Wife comes home weary and distrait he must have the tact to refrain from “talking shop” and chat lightly nd easily of soothing subjects. In the busy seasons, when she has been kept late at work by pressure of important matters, he must have home pleasant for her when she returns —her big easy chair drawn up before the ¢, her favorite dinner waiting to be served as soon as she is ready for it. The lights shining from the home windows and the thought that Husband is waiting there for her will draw her past all dangerous distractions back to the home nest. Open disagreement with Wife’s opinions on any subject should be scrupulously avoided. It is profit- able to convey the subtle suggestion that she is of Drown by R. B.
