BUILDING FORTRESS EASIER THAN TRYING TO SATISFY HUSBAND

Wife Must Be Happy Combination 0f “Alice- By-Fire” And Gypsy Rose Lee

One of the reasons that so few women come up to thei husbands’ blue priiil. of what a good wife should be ls because wlfehood ‘l; the mast COIIIQIIClUEG job on earth. Compared with it building a flying fortress. or devising a secret weapon. or maneuvering a. submarine is mere child's

lay. For a wife can't give satisfaction by possessing any one standard- ztezl line of charms and virtues. She has to be able to Juggle all sorts o co‘ '-

ictory qualities. and then draw a new one out of her hat when .. llléruhusband shows signs of losing his taste for the o ne.

When a married man develops a wandering people ‘alwavs blame his wife for it. "Why didnt holil him?" then cry. Heavens and earth. how could she hold him when she dldnt know whether he wanted her to be a lady love or a vacuum cleaner, a stay cit-homer or a niglit-clubber? Or rather, if he wanted her to weave spells about him with one hand while she did the family laundry with the other, and

Y0 be fl honor combination of Alicc-sit-by-the-fire v llllfl Gypsy Rose Lies. When a wife thinks about‘ the different roles her husband expects lisr to play‘. she understands wliy men are always inclined towards polygamy. It takes a oozen different women to fill the bill.

QUALIFICATIONS FOR. SUCCESSFUL WIFE

Probably men themselves don't know what they want 1n their wives . beyond a general desire for them to be always young and bcautifnr prac- tical. roir. .c. domestic. giddy, economical. the best-dressed women in to‘\:i. cl _ graduates, dumb. sophisticated, naive and QFBCIIIIDUS, and tn I always look up to them and believe they huniz the moon.

cvcrv day we see husbands dragging their homely oi courts because they are not Miss Americas. and we witness the heart- breaking spectacle of wives starving themselves to death and going throw h_ the tortures of the Inouisifiori tryinlz to stav voting and glamor- 311s. "alglfli is a patent impomibility. Time doing the things to women it oes .

Then. consider some of the other diverse stunts that {he average‘ husband expects the average wife to pull of‘! as mere routine. There is intelligence. to begin with. Everv man wants a wife who will be an in» tererinp companion. who reads and thinks and understands what he ES talkinz about. bur she must on no account have as lzood a mind as lie has, or be belle: educated.

Most married ohiianciercrs are men who are so bored by nitwit wives that, they have zone abroad in search of some clever woman who enter- tains them. while thousands of other wandering spouses are hunting uo ladies who will burn incense before them and tell them how great 11ml wonderful they are. So there is nothing left for the poor wife to do but to be clever enough never to let her husband find out how smart she is.

GOOD IIOUSEKEEPERS EXPECTED, WISECRACKERS WANTED

Then there is domesticity. Naturally every husband wants his wife to be a good housekeeper and a crackerjaok cook. For in time romance fades and thrills peter out and every husband knows his wife's little bat! of trick=_bv heart. But a man keeps his appetite to the last. and as long as his \‘.'il'f‘th(‘l\ll work magic with the pots and pans she has a charm to conlure wi .

But mere food does not suffice and. although cooking I5 in itself an art tlia. requires as definite a talent and into which one must put as muCh TlIW-‘sht and labor and devotion as one would into painting or music or wi-iliizg or business, men expect their wives to do it as a sort of a s14“ issue and be. besides. glamour girls. or wisecrackers, or what are on‘. Thev irust never smell of the kitchen. They must read Proust l'lS 2nd of llic Cook Book. and flavor their conversation with transcendental phil- osoplly instead of garlic. Not havlniz a duel personality that enables them to be a gas range and a arlor ornament at one and the same time, goes a long ways towards exp aining why so many husbands are disap- pointed in their wives.

And there is money. Most husbands want their Wives to look like n mllilFli dollars when they step out, but they expect the into do it in base. merit bargains. and they never can see why a woman needs more than one hat ii seP-"on. Also, the size cf the bills is a matter of perpetual shock to them. Thev never can understand Whv the children are always havini! to have new shoes. or how it is possible for one family to eat lip as miieh food as the butcher and the ba er have charged them with. And they lineal that if their wives werent spendthrifts these calamities wouldn't

appcn.

But let Friend Wife try cutting down on the menus and serving poor dinners. alid wearing her last year's birds nest and Husband Wllllis i0 know if she is going to starve the family and make everybody think he cant dress his wife decently.

S0 there the wife is. And trlasmudh as men demand the impossible of the nicer human beings to whom they are married. it. is no wonder that .> Jew wives come up to their husbands’ hearts‘ desire.
