Gan a lhn Acquire Ideal Wife?

Find: This Requires More Head Than Heart

The Psychologists Advice to Young Man, to Decide Qualities They Want in Wife and Then Find Girl That Measures up, is Excellent—But Sad Truth is That Man’s Ideal Girl Seldom Fires His Fancy in Reality

A learned psychologist tells young men that in order to be happy though married they should decide in advance whnt qualifies they want in a wife, then look about until they discover their ideal, and when they

find her marry her.

That is fine advice.

And it will work when

humanity attains that pitch of pure reason when it prefers necessities to luxuries and craves skim- med milk that is good for its stomach instead of

champagne, that gives it a. kick. with us all is that the things we yearn for are not

But the trouble

the same, safe, wholesome things that we should

have.

What we want are the things that are

sure to disagree with us and give us a headache.

Probably there never has been a man in the world who, before he fell in love, hadn't figured out to a T exactly the sort of girl he was going to

marry. When he regarded the misfit wives of his friends, he couldn't understand now they used as little judgment as they did in picking out

their life partners.

No such blunder for him. Ha knew what he wanted

in a wife and he was going to select a. girl who was healthy and strong and sensible and thrifty and economical and domestic and amiable and

meek and bibbablc.

Then along came some little fluffy ruffles who was as pretty as a pic- ture and dressed up like a Christmas doll and who had a wave in her gold- en hair and a come-hither in her eye and a “way" with her and he forgot all. about the sterling qualities he demanded in a. wife and only wanted one who made his heart tum somersaults in his bosom.

It is a terrible and cynical truth that the woman who comes up to a. man ideal seldom fires his fancy. Only too often the practical, sensible, industrious girl who would make such an A-l wife has no more thrill to

her than a bread pudding. estic one smells of the kitchen.

The quiet one is dull company. The one who makes her own clothes and

The dom-

hnts looks like it. The one who is-mothefs little helper doesn't know

how to play up to a man.

Of course any man in his senses knows that the safe matrimonial bet is that nice, plain girl whom mother has picked out, who is so kind to her parents and such a. good cook and who has a tidy bit of money and

who is just cut out to make any many an ideal wife.

And he knows per-

fectly well that that little flibberty-gibbet with quicksilver in her veins

who is always laughing and making

whoopee is likely to develop temper

and nerves after she gets married. . And he knows that a poor man has no business marrying a. girl who looks like a. daily hint from Paris. ‘And he knows that a man who is set on doing the grand Pasha act in his home and having the females of his household kowtow to him does a fool thing in marrying-an independent, high-spirited girl.

Buthe goes on and marries her just the same, in spite of the fact that she isn't his ideal and hasn't got the qualities that he thought he wanted in a. wife, just. because there is something about her that stirs his pulse or catches his eye or because she appeals to him in some way he

Undoubtedly, if men married the women who had the qualities they desire in. ‘a wife they would save themselves and the women a. lot of gnef and take marriage ofl the gambling list and put it in the sure-thing class. All would be well even if after having gratified their de luxe taste in wives they stayed satisfied with their bargains. ,

But they don't.

They marry a woman for one quality and then

spend the balance of their lives berating her for not being something that is the exact opposite, which is an unreasonable as if a. man pur- chased a car because it was a. nifty speed car with stream-line effects and all the new gadgets and then felt that he had been taken in and cheated because when he got it home it was not a. truck.

Qverggmg by 501K168. We RIlOW HOW that a ripe raw banana can be fed to very small children without causing digestive difficulty.

Bananas are high in food value. a, good siz~d one furnishing 100 ca- lories. Their large starch content makes them an excellent substitute for potatoes as an acoomilfllllmellt with meat. It is this starch content which makes an unripe banana difficult to digest. Cooking the ba- nhna converts the starch into dex-' trlne and sugar, making it quite as digestible as a perfectly ripe raw banana.

Baked in Skin

Baking banmas in the skin im- proves them for many persons. Bake bananas in a quick oven and only until soft and the i111"? be’ gins to flow. Longer biking makes them tough and dark and dry and tasteless.

Bananas baked before the skins darken will not be as fino flavored as the perfectly ripened ones, but they will be more digestible than if eaten raw. Unripc bananas should be baked without the skins and bested with a ihln syrup. These can be used as dessert while those baked in the skins may iflkc thi‘ place of a vcffffmble-

When the sheen was first intro-

duced a few weeks ago only the

women fashion leaders in the West end wore the sugar candy style. Now the fashion has caught on.

Not Pushed ‘The sheen fashion was not ‘pushed’ by hairdremers at all. m 51100655 has taken them by sur-

Prise." a West End hairdresser said.

“The effect is obtained by a. spe- cial lotion for the hair. We are get- lnquuies from all over the country."

Miss Enid Stamp Taylor, the fa- mous actress, is one of the leaders of the sugar candy sheen fashion, and everybody is asking her how she achieves such a chic effect on her blonde hair.

"It is something of a secret, and exactly how it is done is only known to my hairdresser and me. Alphonse, my hairdresser, evolved the proces specially for me." Miss 5mm!) Taylor declared.

"It was done to get the maximum sheen effect under the pink and amber lights used for the sets in ‘Gay Love‘ at the Lyric Theatre.

"I can tell you this much." Miss Taylor smiled, "platinum blonde is used as the basis. and then my ha‘r is treated with a special violet wash. Finally it is sprayed with an oil, and there is the real secret, for the component parts of the oil arc only known to Alphonse»ond mo."

Plastic Method

Bide by side with the sheen stgaie is another new hairdressing fashion called the plastic method. This imparts a modelled or sculp- tured look to the hair. The secret is in the cutting and in the special settng lotions.

Miss Margaret Bannerman, Miss Isabel Jeans, and Miss Margaret Rawlings arc three of the famous women of the stage who are now wearing their hair with "a plastic dressing.

Very often the plastic and the sheen fashions are combined, and then the wearer looks like a sculp- tured Greek goddess.

“The plastic method is used to bring about the popular ‘will-o'- the-wisp’ style," said a Bond street colffure expert.

"This shows the hair smooth on top with a sweep or cluster of curls at the nape of the neck or behind the ears.

"A sheen effect is then applied. either with a spray or a, soft brush."

So the fashion in hair today is to be seen with a sheen.

GARDENING

..:“.;::::::=om. N0 NEED T0 RUSH

Jfilil-

Though the average man re- gards hisbetter half with a sort of condescending pity when the fever of house cleaning strikes tho home, very often he is guilty of the same excited bustle just as soon as the active gardening season opens. Too much ground is laid out at one time, and too many seeds planted. In his hurry, sometimes stakes and strings are cast side with most distressfui results when vis- itors draw hls attention later to the ‘free hand’ rows and the general jungle appearance of his vegetab- les and flowers. True, the average Canadian whiter is long and sum- mer all too short, but even the Eskimo is allowed a decent inter- val in which to get his garden planted. Of course, those early things like lettuce, radish, spinach and peas, may be sown just as soon as the ground is fit to work, but this does not mean that the whole supply should then be put in. one is advised to make a. careful study of the teed catalogue, dividing his purchases according to the first date of seeding. Then it is well to divide again and nmkc several plantings of each, at intervals of at least ten clays. By sowing a little at a time, and keeping the busicnss up as long as possible, gardening oper- ations and garden harvests, too, arc spread over a long period.

Home people desire to include some fruit trees and bushes with the garden. 1f there is room, a sum- mer apple like the Yellow Trans. parent, Astrachan or Melba can be chosen for dessert purposes, or Duchess for cooking; for fall, Wealthy; for early winter the Mc- Intosh or Delicious; and for late winter, the Northern Spy. In the Prairie Provinces or Northern Que- boo or Ontario, one will probably have lo fol-ego these varieties, but there are some new hardy types as well’ as good crabapples available. Among the sweet cherries, Windsor. Bing and Taxtarian are recom- mended, growing of course only in the warmer districts, while Mont- milffllliy and Early Richmond are. standards of the other type. Glappb Favorite is one of the best pears, coming very early, while Bartlett is a good later sort. Plums are grown almost anywhere in Canada, as well as currents, raspberries, straw- berries, blackcaps, thimble berries, Logan berries, and gooseberrles.

FERTILIZER IMPORT RE GULATIONS

The greater part of the - clal fertilizer now in use in Oanada is of Canadian manufacturer but considerable quantities of nitrate of soda, ammonium nitrate, r ‘ L and basic slag are imported. Sup- erphosphate is also still beingim- pcrted in large quantities, partic- ularly in the Maritime Provinces and Quebec.

These importations are subject lo special regulations under the Fertilizer Act to ensure that they are sold in Canada. under definite guaranteed analysis, the same as is required of fertilizer of domestic manufacture. Every shipment im- ported is reported by the customs collector at port of entry to the local Dominion Seed Branch in- spector who sees that the provis- ions of. the Canadian fertilizer law are fulfilled. Through theimimer- ous seizures "of shipments of fertil- izer offered for sale without regis- tration and 9WD?!‘ laibeliing, a great service is rendered to farmers and others who buy fertilizers.

HONEY RETARDS DISEASE

To prevent the false impression being formed that because bees are subject to disease some honeys might not be good for food, it is important, says the Dominion De- partment of Agriculture, to drnnv attention to the facts that what affects bees produces absolutely no eflect on human beings. So farms ‘bee disease in concerned, all hon- eys are perfectly safe for food. Further, it may be noted that honey, instead of promoting dis- ease, tends to retard it, because most of the disease organisms that attack man can not live in honey. Honey draws the water of their construction from the organisms and kills them.
