Hunter’s To'us'é Block Y DEAR LITTLE GIRLâ€"I got your letter just as I was starting to make a bee line fortbe train, and as I had to got on board, and then I laid back on my seat and laughed all to myself. Now. don’t get excited, my dear. I wasn’t laughing at you. Not a bit of it. But the serious problems which you imagine are just about to overwhelm you right at the 1:»egmning of your mar- ried life ,remind me so much of the U" a WWWL I the monuments you see in the parks to the heroes who “fit." bled and plundered for their country. Then you put the man on top of this beautiful pile. and you look up at him with your hands clasped and your eyes moonin’ like a calf with the colic, and you say. “My. ain‘t he beautiful,” or, “Oh. ain't be awful nice," or some such emphatic and forcible expression of feminine adoration. You don‘t have a chance to get a real. genuine assay of him. and you think he’s all gold and studded around with diamonds like a birthday ring. Then you get married and you climb up beside him and you make the terrible discovery that his feet are clay; also his hands and likeâ€" wise his head. In other words, you find that he’s just plain garden mud. And then you proceed to have a tit. You don’t say, “Woe is me!” nor beat your breast, nor raise the neighbor- hood with your cries. like they used to do in the three volume novels. Such crudities are no longer fashion- able. You do things diflferently now- adays, but your methods are just as effective. same worries that encompassed your mother “all round about" like the little old woman‘s petticoat And the. cause of. it all was nae-«me, your respected and reverel and much beloved old dad. You woultn’t hardly believe it. now, would you? .But it’s a fact, my little sweetheart and, gee whillikens. what a load she iid think she had. Why, I’d be willing ‘0 bet a bushel of Ben Da- vis apples 'zgainst a peek of railroad doughnuts hat she’d have traded me off for a comterfeit half dollar with a hole in it thee mhnths after we were married. Ship never would admit it. of course. Shewas too sweet and gentle and good heated. And then she really thought a help of me. even when I was furthestbelow par in her estima~ tion. But it’s that way nearly all the time. my little girl The trouble with you women is that you pick out a man and then,‘ before you‘re married to him. you build a marble or onyx or something equally fine. and you carve pictures in bold relief all around the sides illus- trating his tran- scendent vir- _ tnes, just like U" a 1’““‘“‘- the monuments 3 When the Man Is Mified. And all this time the man is stand- ing around on one foot with a face as long and as solemn as the piesi- dent’s message wondering what in the dickens is the matter. Sometimes by wa3 of diversion. he goes in the other room and kicks oxer a chair or sneaks out into the back yard and throws rocks at the chickens. I have a kind of a recollection that I did something of that sort myself. You Compared with a good woman a good man is mighty. small potatoes. but when it comes to getting .married there isn‘t anything better available. and so you women are just obliged to take them and do the best you can with them. And that little girl, Is the poin’. ' i want to get at. That’s just what you ' nut to do with Billâ€"Or William. it see. thy/dear, the man doesn’t know that he has been set up on :1 pedes- tal; ,he has just been going along at- tending to his own business same as usual, thinking himself a pretty fair average of a man and letting it go at that. That's' the way it’s been with Bill. I had a pretty good chance to size him up while I was loni‘mg around home waiting for the. wedding to come on, audit was my judgment then. and my opinion hasn’t changed. that he’s all right. He‘s a man. and that’s all any woman can reasonably expect I don’t want any cherubims or seraphlms in my family. and you'd find life pyetty uncomfortable if you had one of them for a husband. uwaozum or A matâ€"read "in Well,“ Make Him Comfort:- By CASPER s.

Yes, that places i pretty considerable responsibility on the woman, but you needn’t blame me. [didn’t have anything to do with lay log out this arrangement. It’s that way, and I reckon' the Lord knows what he’s about. Of course some men are too‘ soft and some too tough to do anything with, but the most at them are plastic enough for practical pur- poses. and I’m satisfied your William's one of the majority “Your Material ls Mud." It’s up to you, sweetheart, to take the material you have and make a good husband out of lt. Don’t expect nor try to do more than that. Don‘t attempt to mold him into a figure of Gabriel tootâ€" lng a trombone. Don’t try to put too many fine lines in your model- If you do. the whole blamed thing will come to pieces, and then, little girl, you can never, never put it together again. Just remember that your material is. mud. and mud, even in the hands of an ~.- expert modeler, has Its limitations. Restraln your ambition to the point of making a good husband, and when you have accomplished that be satisfied with keeping hnn so. How? Oh, my dear little girl, you have a better counselor than I right at home. I’m not saying that your mother did a very good job with me. but, bless, her heart, it wasn't because she didn’t know how. The trouhie was with the Fill him up and he’ll lean back and beam at you. material. She can tell you much more and much better than I can what and how to do. And yet there are some pointers I can give you that may be i of value to you, mainly because they will enable°yon to get a view of things . from a man’s standpoint I have inti- mated that a man is pretty generally what women make him. His mother ; gives him his start in character build- , i l l i l 1 ing, and his.wife puts on the finishing ' touches. but it isn't good policy to let him know that you are working on 1. him. A good deal has been said about the contrariness of woman. but she isn’t really in the same class with a ' man if he thinks somebody is trying to ' improve him. So whatever you makes; up your mind to do With William, . don’t, for heaven’s sake, give him a , hint of your designs. And. as I said ‘ before, don’t try to do too much. ' The Most Important Point. In the first place, my dear, you’d bet- l ter get the fact buried in the middle . of your gray matter and keep it there . that the most important point in the making of a good husband is the mak- ing of a good wife. That takes time and experience, but two processes can go along side by side, for you needn’t expect Billy to be ready for the last coat of varnish by day after tomorrow No. indeedy, little girl. you can't turn out finished husbands like you can hot waffles, and speaking of waffles brings me right back to the starting point in the home industry I‘m talking about. That’s a little matter of. feed. it’s a fact so old that even Eve got a hint of it that the first princi- ple in the man agement of a man is the sat- isfaction of his stomach. What ever else he may be. no mat- ter how full of . brains his head. ' he's an animal FI and he wants â€"-_. to be fed. “'115'. A bee line im- the first I’ve see n the . car. greatest apos ties of the doctrines of sweetness and light sit down to the table and eat like a blue ribbon porker with his feet in the trough. Yet comparatively few women appreciate the importance of this fact, and many a home is ruined by the theory that anything that hap- pens to be handiest will do for dinner. It won't Give him the best his in- come will afford and see to it yourself that it is properly cooked. The aver- age man isn’t hard to satisfy. He doesn’t hanker after the strange and weird dishes you’ll find in the cook- books. He doesn’t care for airy wafers and delicate ices. He only wants some- thing plain and substantial and filling. like roast beef or bacon or ham and eggs or something equally gross and just as bully. Fill him up with such truck and then he’ll lean back and beam at you like the father of a first babyâ€"that is. if it’s cooked right. If the steak comes to the breakfast table fried hard. it’ the eggs are swimâ€" ming in grease or the biscuits heavy enough to use as weights on the cuckoo clock, he’s got a kick coming. And it will come. It may not be just then. He may keep it to himself until he collects an assortment and then let out all at once. But sooner or later the kick will come. and the longer he holds it in the harder it will come out. So. my clear. I say to you solemnly and prayerfully. see to it personally that William is well fed. Maybe that's what‘s the matter with him now. May- he he’s already got the groueh of the underfed‘ or the badly fed. Better fig- are on that a linle. my dear.

When I see a man Jump for his haat when the qui bell rings and make a bee line for first car that will get him home I say to myself: "That fellow doesn’t have to go chasin’ around nights iookln‘ for amusement. HE’S zot all be.wants at home." And when a man has that he’s bound to be contented, and, b6 ing contented, he’s bound to be hap- DS’. and, being happy. he‘s bound to be gdod natuved. and, Mini! good na- tux-ed, he’s bound to be a good hug- band if he’s rightly managed on the intellectual side.
