Easy enough. By making him comfortable. That is alwa a a. wife's best bet, the one surefire we of retainln a husband’s affections. For men ceafse to look all even livins pictures after they possess them. They listen with only one ear to ?‘hat!.1theiruv;li'v?_‘ sLa¥’eto them. Glamor

erce a ease and police and restfulnwa are an ‘abiding joy. and the woman who can give these to a man has a charm to conjure with that always works.

If you doubt, this. look about you at the women ‘ of your ac uaintance. Observe how many beauties virtually commute to Reno. Ta e note of the fascinators who seem to! have more allure for other men than they have for their own husbands. Count the number of disgruntled men you know who are married to bril- liant wives. but who spendtheir evenings at their clubs or any where away from home.

And then reflect upon the fact that most. of the domestic, devoted. middle-aged husbands in your circle are men who are married to women]

talent except. the gift for making their usbands comfortable.

And that is enough. For w en a man comes home, weary and worn from his day's work, with his nerves fretted to fiddle strings, he doesn't crave beauty, nor romance, nor sentiment. He just wants to be made_ comfortable. So the best advice that any one can give the wife who- wishes to keep her husband in love with her is just to make life easy for,

him.

v see to it that bug home is the coziest place to which he can go; that as chair is the kind he likes to sit in, even if it; swears at your pe;-icd furnitzure;t.hat. he has a good light to read by and the privilege of strew- mg cigarette ashes all over the place without being nagged for the mess he makes. After all, men are h.u.rnan. ‘They are tired and their feet hurt at night, so tiliere is small provocation for mom to wander abroad if "home is the pleasantest. place they can find.

‘.. And feed the brute. Give him what. he likes to eat. cooked the way he likes it. He will never perceive your faults and weaknesses so long as your sauces are perfect. You never hear of a good cook being divorced by her husband. Furthermore, there is no surer way of keeping a hus-I band nailed to his own fireside than by keeping him so full of good food he is too logy to go out and hunt for sirens.

. But. making a man physically comfortable isn't enough just of itself. You must make him mentally comfortable if you want, to keep him think- ing you are the greatest little woman in the world.

When the average wife loses her husband she always attributes it to the other woman having occult powers with which she could not oom- pet; or she lays it on her having lost. her complexion or her fi ure. nine times out of ten. the real reason is that she made thngs so un- comfortable for her husband at home that she drove him away from her.

Maybe she nagged him until he couldn't call his soul his own. Maybe she had ii temper that kept him terrorized. Maybe she whined and complained until the house was as gloomy as a tomb. Maybe she al-I ._wa.ys belittled him until she made him feel like a worm of the

What wonder that the wives who do these things kill their love for them. What wonder that they send comfort and to have their ego built up. And what wonder that the wives who are pleasant and easy to live with bind their husbands to them with hoops of steel.

at wonder that the wives who are good companions. who are af- fectionate and reasonable and helpful, who laugh at their husbands‘ little gecullarities instead of making tragedies of them. are loved by their usbands long after they have lost their beauty and youth. No one can have a greater attraction for any of us man just to make us comfortable.

Dear Dorothy Dix—My husband is a wonderful man. Inclustrious and easy to live with as long as he is sober. But he has got to the point now where just a few drinks set_him of! and make him crazy. He flies into rages about nothing at all. Says the most abusive and insulting things and drives like a maniac on a higpway. We have a nice home and are putting away a. little for old e and oouldegzet so much out. of life if only he wouldn't drink I have ways work outside of the home. made a. good salary and then have done the housework when I came home at night. Do you think if I gave up my position and stayed at home and put; the whole burden of supporting the family on my husband it would do any good toward straightening him out? Assuredly he would have less to spend on liquor. but I do not know whether I could depend upon him, and I realize that if I give up this position I would never secure another. Also, I believe I keep my sanity by getting down- town and away from my thoughts. Is there no way of curing a drunk-_l syd? D. M A. Answer:

Probably not when the drink habit has gotten such a man as it has upon your husband. Nothing else in the world is gitiful as the fine men who have all that was

cm destroyed by alcohol and who drag down into misery and break the} hearts of the women they love.

And nothing can be done to save them. science cannot save them. The tears and prayers of their mothers and wives and children are power- less to give them the strength to fight. their weakness. Nothing else in life n so cruel or brings so much unhappiness on innocent opie as drink.

I think you will be very foolish to give up your ob under the cir- cumstancea. For one thing, having something to do that keeps you busy and from dwelling on your trouble in the greatest blessing that you could

ibly have. And. for another. you will need the money you earn.

ause. if your husband drives like a madman on the highway when he is drunk, he will soon commit murder and suicide, as all runken drivers
