Says the young husband Irritably '.o
his wife: "I wish you could learn to
make bread like my mother made It."
Says the young wife tartly to her hus
band: "I wish you
could learn to

my father made
It"
This story Is an
ancient chestnut of
the domestic
variety, but it en
joys a well-deserved
Immortal
ity because It pre
sents to us In a
nutshell, as It
were.- .the chief
reason of why
marriage is so
often a failure.
It Is because both
husband and wife
are more con
cerned with con
templating the other's deficiencies than
they are their own lack of efficiency.
This Is particularly true of men who
are so busy watching their wives' faults
that they haven't time to notice how far
they fall short of making good them
selves. And men could, with profit, oc
casionally reflect that if their wives do
not always measure up to their ideal of
what a perfect woman should be, they
also bear no striking resemblance to the
romantic heroes and demigods that their
wives thought they were marrying.
There Is the man, for instance, who Is
always scolding his wife about her ex
travagance, and who Is threatened with
an epileptic attack every time the bills
come In on tho first of the month. If
there is a martyr on earth he knows that
he is that afflicted Individual, and he
sheds tears of' self-pity when he thinks
of how this good money goes for hats
and gowns and Paris confections.
Instead of blaming his wife so much
for spending money. It would be salutary
for his soul for him to remhember that If
he were a better business man, or If he
hustled a little more, he could afford to
give his wife the things she wants. Per
haps if he didn't waste so much money
on smokes and drinks and poker what
his wife spends wouldn't come so near to
breaking his heart.
Then there'B the man who complalnB
that? his wife nags, and that as a cur
tain lecturer, especially along about 2
Grandma Talks
Hatabu-geCircleof Listener Who Prof
it by Her WhdW end Experience.
In almost any settled community there's
fct grandma who knows Mother's Friend;
(Not only I she reminiscent of her own
experience, but it was through her reeoirf
tnendatlon that so many young, expectant
mothers derived the comfort and blessing
f this iimrc remedy. ,
Mother's rilend is applied externally to
the abdomen, stomach and breasts, altars
all pain, avoids all nausea, and prevents
caking of the breasts.
It Is quickly and wonderfully penetrating,
permits the muscles to expand without the
train on the ligaments, and prepares the sys
tem so thoroughly that the crisis Is pasted
almost without tbe slightest distress. Thus
there need be no such thing as dread or fear.
No better nor more cheering advice can
be given the expectant mother than to sug
gest the use of Mother's Friend. Bhe will
take courage from the beginning. The days
will be cheerful, the nights restful. Thus
the health Is preserved, tbe mind is In
repose and the period is an unending one
of quiet, Joyful anticipation.
You can obtain Mother's Friend of any
druggist at $1-00 a bottle. IX) not forget
nor neglect to be supplied with this greatest
remedy ever deviled for motherhood. It is
unfailing. Write at once to Bradneld Regu
lator Co., 133 Lamar BIdg., Atlanta, Ga.,
for their very Interesting and Instructive
Aeok of advice for expectant mothers.
J
o'clock In tho morning, she Is a world
beater. He considers himself a sadly mis
used man, and wonders what his guard
Ian angel was doing when he got tied up
with that kind of a wife.
Wouldn't It make for reformation If he
would sit down and consider his own de
linquencies instead of his wife's per
formances? No woman marries for the
pleasure of sitting up at home by her
self, through a lonely evening, waiting
to open tho door for a man who can't
find the keyhole himself, and if under
such circumstances she does utter a few
surging thoughts he should, at least, have
tho Justice to admit that he inspired them
by his conduct. The man who spends his
evening In the bosom of his family,
doesn't have to explain where he has
been.
Then there's the man who bemoans his
fate because his wife Isn't domestic, and
because she has the society bee or tho
club bee in her bonnet and never wants
to stay at home.
Wouldn't It be a good thing for him to
think a few thoughts about how much
he's ever done to make home attractive
to her? Wouldn't It be only fair for him
to reflect that whllo he expects his wife
to stay put In the house, ho was spending
his evenings at the club or the corner
saloon or some other place where there
was something doing? Also .that when
he did stay at home he snoozed over his
paper from dinner till bedtime, and was
Just about as conventionally thrilling as
a stuffed bear would have been.
Honestly, now, Mr. Man, did you ever
know a single, solitary case where a
woman wasn't nailed to her own fireside
If she had the luck to ba married to a hus
band who was good-natured and genial
and companionable, and who took a real
heart Interest In Orlantal rugs and cur
tains and casserole cooking? Whenever
you see a woman going mad over clubs
and society or philanthropy set It down
that she is married to a man who has no
more domestic Instincts than a fox ter
rier, and that she has given up trying to
make a home by herself and Is attempting
to fill In her life with a manufactured In
terest. And there Is the man who sobs over
himself because he has outgrown his
wife, and at 45 she is fat and dbwdy and
eommonplace, while he's better looking
and more fascinating that he ever was
before In his life. If this doesn't entitle
him to an affinity, he doesn't know what
would.
Does he ever ask himself how his wife
came to be what she is, while he Is what
he Is? Does he ever think that the reason
he Is so prosperous Is because her econ
omy laid the foundation of his fortune
and he climbed up to success on her
shoulders? That's why they are so bent
Her complexion went In the first few
years after their marriage when she burnt
It out over tbe kitchen stove to save the
price of a cook. Those knots on her fin
gers represent the days she tolled over
the washtub. The luster of her eyes dV.-
med In the long nights when she walked
sick babies, or sewed endless little clothes.
All the energy of her went to pushing him
forward, and It she lags behind It's be
cause of what she gave him and he ac
cepted. It's his fault more than hers.
And there's the man who says bitterly
that his wife no longer cares for him, and
that he's nothing but a money-making
machine for her.
Does he ever ask himself why his wife
should love him? What does he do to
keep the sacred flro alight on the altar
of her heart? He supports her, He sup
plies her with food and clothes. Any
woman who keeps house earns her board
and keep. Vou pay a cook or housemaid
more than that, so that makes no claim
of gratitude upon a wife.
A man who keeps his wife's love must
do more than pay her bills. It you don't,
If you never show her any little detlcate
attention, if you never make love to her,
Jf you rarely ipjak to her except to find
fault, what's to keep her from falling In
love with some other roan? What's to
prevent her from feeding her hungry
heart with the affection some other man
offers her? Consider that side of the
question, Mr. Man.
When a marriage turns out badly the
man invariably blames it on bis wife, but
tho fault is his oftener than It Is hers.
He's guilty of at least contributory negligence.
Beauty Secrets of Beautiful "Women
""Study Your Expression," Says Pretty Gertrude Barnes
if
Sisters All
Dy WILLIAM P. KIRK.
When Eve wan told, and Adam, too.
To pack tholr raiment and skldoo,
Poor Adam said, "It can't be helped,"
But thin Is what his awootheart yclpod:
"If woman had a vote, you not '
Wo'd bo within the Garden yet,"
By LILIAN LAUFERTV.
"Smile and curl up your mouth cor
ners." said merry Gertrude Barnes, She
had Just finished doing five character
songs In characteristic costumes. She
had run the gamut of emotion from the
naughty little "enfant terrible" through
the stranded show-girl longing for the
"old Kentucky home" to the mirth-mad
exponent of "Row, row, row." And all
this earnest and successful effort to
please her audience left her cool, buoyant
and ready to give the whole world of
girls the kindly benefit of her study of
how to have "a sane mind In a healthy
body."
"Expression is important for character
as well as to aid the search after beauty,"
said pretty Miss Gertrude, with laugh
ing earnestness. "I used to be afraid
to smile all I wanted to for fear I would
get those heavy lines from nostril to Up;
and then suddenly I became aware of all
the hard-looking faces one sees and the
chief reason for the hardness was down
drooping, disagreeable looking lips. I
decided at once to tak a chance on the
lesser evil, and began curling my mouth
up at the comers, even when I was not
particularly- anxlotls to 'look pleasant,
please'; now as a result there may be
lines around my mouth, but they are lines
of pleasantnessaren't they?" she added
anxiously. "And sometimes when I am
ready to feel cross my mouth keeps on
smiling and I recover."
Merry good nature and kindly Interest
In life happen to be among the greatest
charms of Miss Barnes' animated, ex
pressive face, and very pleasing Is the
Miss Barnes in a summery pose.
twinkle that reflects from big brown eyes
to the merry dimpled corners of her thls-
Is-a-flne-old-world mouth.
"You may safely go on smiling," I
said with a smile of my own; "but how
about all the other expressions you bring
In rapid succession to your face don't
they make lines?"
"Not lines that stay," answered Miss
Barnes. "You see, I have a few methods
of keeping my skin In good condition.
They are cold water, sunburn and tan."
"Sunburn and tanl" I exclaimed. "I
thought they were fatal to the fine tex
ture of the skin."
"Perhaps they are fatal to tlifl old,
worn-out outer layer they destroy, But
thoy glvo .tho fresh new layer waiting
underneath a chance and they help give
strong, firm flesh, good healthy flesh,
without whloh fine-textured skin Is Just
Impossible. And sunburn and tan come
from plenty of sunlight and fresh air,
which are the best things In the whole
world for the health and beauty seeker.
So there you are In a perfect circle, when
you have added plenty of cold water
and served up a fine, healthy skin on a
background of strong, firm flesh that
can throw off the little lines you make
temporarily by twisting your face around
Into any extreme of expression you
choose.
"Cold wir cold water cold water!
Won't you sing its praises very earnestly,
please? And tell all the girls not to be
afraid of the charm of expression they
may Indulge in it all they like If they
have been sun-burned and tanned and
cold-watered, with good massage-like
splashes that makes th skin strong
enough to throw off the little temporary
blemishes of lines and wrinkles.
"Oh, my circle is not complete yet,"
laughed the cheery star, "I have a little
more to say about fresh air. do out Into
it all you can, and hunt and ride If you
can. Riding Is wonderful for the muscles
of the limbs; hunting develops the
muscles of tho waist but If you can do
nelthor, swim. Anyone can swim If she
Just chooses to learn how and it Is a
most wonderful, Inspiring, lung-ftlllng,
flesh hardening form of exercise.
"I manufactured a lot of my own
healthfulness by going after It very
earnestly. Being a water-baby and being
an outdoor girl are almost equally Im
portant; thoy both make you healthy,
and If you are wise enough to be both
your chances of being a beauty Increase.
"You see, fresh air and exercise have
trained my figure for me, so I don't have
to rely on corsets to do It. They hav
trained my skin for me, so I don't have
to hold my face In a mask-like expres
sion In order to avoid lines and wrinkles
so there Is my basis, and then I go
ahead and try to make the most of my
looks, although I know perfectly well
that the result Is not beauty."
But on this latter bit of Information
Miss Gertrude Barnes has a monopoly,
for good features added to the winsome
charm of a bright face and the pose of a
healthy body surely deserve the title of
beauty,
"Now about arranging your face to the
best advantage," said Miss Barnes with
the earnest attention to every detail that
makes her work so pleasing and conver
sation with her a true delight "Of course,

Don'ts for Girls
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX,
rinn't comtiare the criticisms of your
parents with the compliments paid you
hv n vniins man to the detriment of the
former. The criticisms aro at least based
on sincerity.
rwi't rrcnrA nverv compliment paid

your photograph taken. Frequent visits
to a photographer aro signs of a vain
mli)d.
Don't accept attentions from the wronjr
kind of a man, excusing yourself bo
cause they mean nothing and are trivial.
Remember that the girl who walks only
as far as the corner with tho wrong kind
It Is Inadvisable for a girl who wishes to
be acoeptcd at face value as a lady
to use any makeup on tho street, for she
Is sure. to look conspicuous and artificial
for the one all-embracing reason that
without the earnest study an actress
gives the subject the gentle art of makeup
becomes a farce, Instead of an art.
"However, any girl can teach her eye
brows to grow In a smooth, protty curve
by brushing them at night and morning
with a tiny brush; and eood cream will
keep the face clean as to Its pores as
well as on the surface; and a well-polsed
head adds a final touch of charm. Girls
should cultivate tho habit of holding their
heads with the natural poise of a flower
Instead of Jutting forward like a crag,
or bending back with the curve of a
llghtnlng-struck tree.
"And learn to design your own clothos.
Make them express you so your person
ality will be a rounded whole without one
Jarring note."
And since there Is no Jarring note In
Miss nanvts' unaffected, wholesome per
sonality, this final bit of advice fits In
with the beauty study of an expert in
whatever she undertakes and la well
worth following,
of man will meat every one she knows on
tho way.
Don't seek Information from a dream
book. No one expects much from tho
girl who seeks Information from a dream
book Instead of from an encyclopedia.
Don't get the prevalent notion that th
young man who spends a month's salary
In giving you a good time thinks more
of you than the man who refuses to
spend a week's. The latter loves more
sanely.
Don't overlook the Importance of a love
offalr with your father. That Is the best
Investment In the love of man that any
girl can make. 1
Don't forgot that mother Is a human
being, and sometimes gets tired.
Don't feel the third time a young man
has called on you that It Is time for you
to take possession and demand that he
account for the evenings he spent some
where else.
Don't resent the desire of your parent
to know something of the young man
who calls on you. They fall In their
duty to you If they lack this desire, or
fall to act upon It.
Don't give your heart to a man who
refers to his parents as "the old lady"
and "the old man."
Don't ever outgrow the habit of your
childhood of telling your mother when
you get home all that happened at the
party. It is more important that you
tell her what happens now you are
grown than that you told her when you
wero little.
Don't forget, If you have a little that
you have more than your parents had In
their youth, and that they have struggled
every day since you came Into the world
with that unselfish ambition in view.
