Two Types of Good Men Vex Wives There are two types of well mean ing husbands who bring bitterness and tears to their wives, according to the evidence produced at a recent woman's club tea. First, there Is the man who never notices what his wife has on, and then there is the man who not only notices everything, but goes to the length of choosing every thing his wife wears. The discussion of this Important topic of husbands "and dress was led by two y«ing matrons who had been schoolmates and who found them selves side by side on the same yield ing divan In a corner of the hotel parlor. One, a gorgeous blonde, was a symphony in pearl gray; the other an oriental harmony In Persian print, ‘‘You say you like my costume," the pearl gray one began the discussion, with a shade of bitterness in her voice, "that Is more than my husband said. And It was all planned for him, too. He derided to take me out to dinner on the evening of our wedding anniversary and In honor of the day and to make him proud of me I spent several weary weeks achieving this outfit. "I was determined that everything from my pumps to my gloves and hat should be faultless. After I had my costume all ready tr> the slightest de tail I went to Pierre's to have my hair coiffed in just the right way to go with a pearl gray gown and my complexion tinted to just the correct shade. T could hardly wait for Henry to arrive that evening, so pleased was T with the perfect result I had at tained. "You can imagine my deapalr when he eeid carelessly, 'Tat me know when you're ready. It won't take me 10 minutes to slip into iny thing*.’ "T might as well have been wearing a gingham bungalow apron, for all tlie effect it had on him. Finally I asked him how he liked my costume. ■Why. T like It all right.* h* answered carelessly. 'I always did like you In that dress.* "Now T have Just given up trying to dress for him; If I take any interest In clothee at all it Us for other peo ple. Past night I didn’t bother to change an old blue Canton crepe I have been wearing the last four years end have now relegated to household ♦asks. He looked up from his paper In the course of the evening to re mark, “That's s pretty new dress r Cantilever Oxfords are ready for early Spring ClANmVER oxfords, j are ready to carry you out on the brisk walks of early Spring and to make them a genuine joy.

When did you get that?’ It must be a pleasure to dress for a husband who takes some slight Interest in one's appearance," she concluded wistfully. •'Oh, my dear, you don't know how .fortunate you are!” exclaimed her friend. "If only my hushand would cease to notice what I have on, and, what is more Important, cease to buy ij himself. I should be an absolutely happy woman. Why, he not only picked out the material for this gown I'm wearing but he actual ly superintended the making of It. ■'He draped the material about on me at the dressmaker's and sug gested that a buckle be put here and that the panel on this side should hang lower than that on the rleht. He brought home these lapis lazuli earrings with great triumph, saying that they would give just the right finishing effect for such a costume. "He picks out my hat. frames and then decides on the proper trimming for them. I never cared a great deal about dress, and now I am getting so I can scarcely bear Jt when he comes home with various fashion hints. “I hate fussy nightgowns and lingerie, hut he keeps me over whelmed with the most lacy, frivolous kinds. One wonders where a man whose business Is wholesale stoves picks up such an Intimate knowledge of woman's dress. “I have reached a point where I have about as much Interest as a wooden manniklnr would have is the apparel he buys for me,” and she wearily puahed tmck on her arm a half dozen glddv bracelets her hus band had brought her the evening before. IJven the pearl gray lady decided she had something to be thankful for, after all. For. worse than the hus band who doesn't cere what his wife has on. Is the one who raree too much.—New York Sun Dramatic Instinct in Children Coffee, the Villain, and Milk, the Hero. Rvery child Is born with a dramatic instinct, according to Miss Margaret Carey of the American Child Health association, whose work Is teaching teachers to teach health amj who makes use of the Innate desire of every little boy and girl to be an (actor. "In three rehearsals almost any group of children can stage a play of their own and make up their own lines," declares Miss Carey, who tours the normal schools of the country and reaches the little sample children allotted to the teachers as pupils. "AH I have to do Is to tell them their parts. I give them a synopsis of the plot and leave the rest to them. They carry through a fairly compli cated plan of action, in many cases make up their own costumes and their own songs. One child may rep resent Milk, another Lettuce, another Fresh Air. It Is the old play acting Instinct dormant in every chlld^-the same impulse that makes most of us pretend to be robbers and fairies when we are small." Miss Carey officiates at the plays themselves In the person of the spirit of Joy, a mysterious fairy who haunts the school room. "By staging a health play we are appealing to four valuable things.'* she says, "the memory, the creative impulse, the dramatic instinct and a knowledge of health principles. After they have participated in an ardent struggle where Milk is the hero and Coffee the villain they will remember the evil effects of coffee more vividly than through a whole year of warn ing Instruction. I work in the normal schools because through them I can eventually reach the largest number of pupils. My object is to give teach ers an Illustration of how they can best Inculcate health teaching among all classes of children. Naturally the health plays appeal only to the fairly little ones, from the first to the fifth grades. The older children would scorn anything so Infantile as trip ping about the stage pretending to be a carrot or a beet!” Through work in the normal schools teachers will be enabled to spread the gospel of health through different varieties of American schools. Little rural school houses, school rooms up in the mountain dis tricts and on the long stretches of the prairies, city schools and schools in all parts of the country will profit indirectly from these simple child plays. “It Is strange to see several hun-, dred teachers sitting spell bound be fore a little amateur play staged by little children," says Miss Carey. "It only shows that health and nutrition work with children has become an Important subject and teachers are only too eager to learn the best way of Instructing it. The children them selves love to act and It is possible for them to appear in their every day clothes. But generally they prefer to make the costumes themselves out of crimped paper or cheese cloth. It le a simple matter to be & bottle of milk or a baked potato If you can get a few yards of colored paper and wear It like a sandwich board." Mies Carey is a native of Baltimore and was formerly head mistress of the Arundel! school of that city. Bhe is a graduate of the Framingham State Normal achool In Massachusetts and has been an Instructor In several private schools. Puring the war she was director of the girls' work of th* War Camp Community service at Norwich, Conn., and prior to that as sistant superintendent of the county agency’s Committee of the State Charities Aid In New York. She le at present with the American Child Health association which, with Her bert Hoover as president, is an amalgamation of the -former Ameri can Child Hygiene association and the Child Health Organization of Amer ica.

Melius Christiansen, Mus. D., Director, Composer Dr. F. Melius Christiansen, director of the St. Olaf Choir, whose strange skill in develop ' ing and assembling comparatively untrained voices has won him an international reputa tion, is a native of Norway. As a boy he at tended school in Larvik; he came to this coun try w'hen 17 years of age, first to California, then to Washburn, Wis., and later to Minne apolis, Minn., where he studied and taught at the Northwestern Conservatory of Music. After some years he went to Leipsic, Germany, where he continued his studies at the Con servatory and came much in contact with Gustav Schreck, who at that time was cantor of the old Thomas church. Here once each week the famous Thomaner choir attracted thousands to hear some of the grand old chorals. .. In spite of his numerous duties as Director of Music at St. Olaf College and leader of the St. Olaf Choir, Dr. Christiansen has neverthe less found time to compose. A large number of his arrangements of chorals and of his original compositions have been published, principally under the title St. Olaf Choir Series, the fifth volume of which is just off the press. iFrom an article written for the Minneapolis Tribune by James Dane*.) Never will any city hear a capella singing more beautiful than that given by the St. Olaf Choir. Perfect pitch and veracious tempi are only stepping stones to sn ensemble of tonal values revealing the towering loveliness thet rests but is seldom heard In human voices. This mueh la certain: the choir ha* gift* for the world. The college has it within its power to bring a freshening and a quickening of the spirit to the rest of us in America who love musie that creates for It a social responsibility. There is a double debt owing to Mr. Christiansen, in that ha ha* trained the choir and that he has brought back and embellished for us the great songs of the XIVth. XVtb, and XVIth centuries. • City Auditorium - Omaha Admission $1.00, $1.50 and $2.00 Plan to Attend Tickets may be secured at the Auditorium or moat any ons of the Lutheran Churches in the city* u Their Appearance Reflects the Character of the Institution CLEANLINESS Nowhere in all America will you find as fine a fleet of cars as are used to deliver HARD ROLL BREAD to your grocer.
