Huoband and Wife Who Say "Do-Ci-Do” to Ona An other at They Coma in and Go Out to Separata Jobs Can’t Hava Much Home Life Which It the Saying Grace in the Average Marriage. SCAB Miss CHATFIELD: My bo*t wiled smoothly on the set of matrimony for a number of •oars and then my husband's working hours were changed and he started to work in the afternoon, getting off around midnight. He began stop pint by the bar for a beer and this has led to the practical wrecking ot our home. Hot that he takes too much to drink but that he meets peo Me who have no regard for hours and no regard for their wives at home. He stays out later and later unltl It has reached the point where he ■Sts in sometime during the early morning. He resents my questioning h. u and h< >*u peeved because I cannot sleep until he Is In. I work ti a business office and go home to an empty house as he has to leave before I get In. I am willing to sacrifice all pleasures, work to main tain our home If only I could look forward to hts coming home when his work Is done. Sleeplessness and worry are wearing me out. Yet be says hts conscience Is perfectly clear. Have you any suggestions to offer for bringing him back to a sweet and harmonious home life? N. H. S. ANSWIlt: If you ean live on what your husband earns, wouldn't It be better lar you to give up your Job and settle down to home making? Other WWO, you will have to devise ways and means of making the hours Which you and your husband now spend together, more pleasant than they are. A man (unless he’s better than average) won't go fcbme for duty's sake. He won't go home unless he Is pretty sure It will be pleasant when he gets there. The working wife has to be a Whls of a manager to keep the sort of home that will lure a husband away from the bright lights and gay company of the bar, where he ean eat, drink and be merry when his night's work Is done. Tired from her day’s Job, a little bit resentful that she has been dqing Sdouble duty day In and day out, she's not In the mood to be tactful th a man who Is Inconsiderate ot her and Indifferent to her peace mind. But—here are the alternatives: Lure him home with soft word* and light laughter or be resigned to his staying away. There la something queer about the effect which system and order and regular hours have on morals. Of course there are millions of men Who work at night and go home to their wives when the Job Is Un ioned. They foil Into the routine of nlghtwork and daytime sleep juit os othoro fall Into the routine of daylight work and night sleep, tut the boys, old and young, who mix up work and play, oatlng and gJOeplng with no regtilar home habits, are likely to lose their bear ings and (tumble into trouble. And there la something miraculous about the Influence of a home <a a marriage. Four waits, a range to cook on, a table to sit at, a bed tA sleep In, don't make a home. Hotels and even prisons have these. The tiling that makes a home different (rum a lodging placo is the presence of a woman in it, her loving thought and care expended on it. How can she supply what it takes when she works all day in an ofllcc, lies awake most of the night worrying and spends the rest of the time fault with the man who has brought her to this. She can't. A husband and wlef who say "do-cl-do" to one another as they ie in and go out to separate jobs are not very much married.

MORRIS HSHBEIN Cdltor. Journal of the American Medical Association, and of Hygela, the Health Magaalne The Iris Is the colored portion of the eye, It can become Infected and btjflamed from various causes. When It U Infected, It becomes swollen, dulj, and discolored. The pupil gets small, gray and sluggish. Pain, radiating to the forehead and to the temple, Is worse at night, and there Is much disturbance of vision. A person who 1ms an In flamed Iris cannot bear to look at light, and his eye Is constantly watering. One of the most common causes of this condition Is, of course, syph ilis. However, the Iris may also be come Infected by other germs, or rheumatic conditions may be re sponsible. It Is of the utmost Importance to attend to this condition immediately because the Inflammation and the Infection may result In scarring which will cither block the pupil entirely or bind the Iris down In snob manner as to prevent Its mo tion. Obviously this will cause per manent disturbance of vision. When a doctor taken care of this condition, he applies drugs which relieve congestion and put the part at rest. Dilation of ths pupil will prevent the scarring and tend to break up the small scars that have already formed. Various preparations of atropine are useful for this purpose. There are other drugs, anesthetic In character, which prevent pain. The doctor may also prescribe moist, hot compresses for several hours This will tend to diminish pain and tnflammatlon. Of particular Importance, how ls systematic treatment of tills end other conditions. Syphilis affecting the eye means syphilis elsewhere in the body and de mands the kind of consistent and persistent treatment necessary for this condition. If Iritis Is associated with a rheumatic condition, the patient must be treated for the general rheumatic disturbance, with the detection, It possible, of the focus of Infection of the body and with the elimination of that focus when It is found.

PARIS.—Though there lias been Intense rivalry for her patronage, Paris couturiers agree that Mrs. Wallis Simpson Is an eusy-to-plcase, agreeable client who not only knows what ihe wants but also what she should wear. She prefers beautiful fabrics and simple, almost tailored lines to anything flashy or fussy. Blue Is the favorite color of the "most talked of women In the world." But, for indoor gowns at least, sho likes abslntho green and orchid. She favors rich, sumptuous fabrics such as heavy satins, velvets, brocades and crepes. She Is enthusiastic, to, about palllctcs and colorful bead embroidery, but she Insists that these bo used subtly and sparingly. From the collection of Helene Yrande, Mrs. Simpson selected a hostess gown of midnight blue velvet with intricate, short sleeves dec orated with palllctex In the same color. It has a short train, a molded bodice and a draped neckline. So much did she like this model that she ordered It In several colors besides blue. * * * Hostess Gown And Hats Reflect Excellent Tastes JK\ A These raris hats designed by Ag nes typify the youthful modes affected by Mrs Wallis Simpson.

You can depend on Banin Claus for bedroom slippers, flowers and gadgets, but only you can give your self n nicer skin, healthier hair or a better figure. This Is tho day to decide exactly how you want to look Christmas morning and what you are going to do to achieve that goal, If you honestly want a clear scalp and beautifully shiny tresses In stead of that dull hair you have now, allow ten extra minutes u duy for vigorous brushing. Don't go to bed until you have brushed and brushed nnd brushed. Hold the brush loosely in your hands and work with llrm, upward strokes that clean the scalp and polish each und every strand. Burely the woman with dry skin wants her face und throat to look sleek and smooth Instead of scnly and dry. During the winter mouths she should cleanse with cream In stead of soap and water and use night cream more conscientiously. At night, cleansing cream should be removed with a coarse, clean towel. In the morning, with a wash' cloth that has been dipped In very hot water and squeezed as dry as possible. Night cream ought to be left on for at least half an hour. If you want prettier hands, don't wait for Santa Claus to bring a lux urious manicure set, hand lotion and cuticle cream. Get these Imme diately and begin at once to use tho lotion at least four times a day, tho cuticle cream every night and the orange sticks, emery boards and new lacquer every five or six days.

EMERGENCY REMEDIES FOR ANGINA Angina pcctorl/i—tiie accent on the An. not on thn gl—which ought to seem natural to all who persist In calling ab-do-men ab-do-men— mcan.s choking pain In the chest, heart-pang, heart-cramp. Like epilepsy and asthma, angina pectoris l.s a functional malady tho seizures or nttacks of which are characteristic enough to enable the physician to diagnose the trouble, but In the Intervals presents no de finite organic change by which tho pathologist may recognize the dis ease. Partial occlusion of restriction of the coronary arteries (which supply blood to the heart muscle or wall It self; from arteriosclerosis Is prob ably the primary factor of angina pectoris. The Immediate cause of thn attack, however, Is undoubtedly asphyxia, anoxemia, insufficient ox ygen supply to tho heart muscle? Insufficient, that Is, to meet an emergency demand under emotional strain or some slight overexertion. The first remedy for the emer gency attack or threat or fear of Impending attack of angina pectoris Is Immediate cessation of strain, ef fort or exertion. Come to a com plete standstill wherever tho seizure recurs, and sit down, or better lie :lown If possible and remain per fectly quiet. Nitroglycerin (trlnltrln, glonoln, flyoeryl nitrate;, Is the best omer ?ency remedy for the attack of an dna pectoris. The patient may carry xlways in pocket a small vial of nitroglycerin tablets and take a tab let whenever ho believes an attack Impends. Nitroglycerin is volatile and loses strength if exposed to the air, but a dozen tablets In a stop pered vial will retain their potency for several weeks. The tablet dis solved in the mouth produces its characteristic effect on the circula tion within two or three minutes. Nitroglycerin la not a heart stimu lant at all; it merely relaxes spasm of the arterioles or smallest arteries, and frees the circulation from re striction. When the patient takes sufficient nltroglycercln to have this effect he usually notices some throb bing In the head and flushing of the face for a few moments. The effect of nitroglycerin is prompt and of short duration—it lasts only on hour or two. Consequently the dose is usually repeated every few hours, where more lasting effect is re quired. A moderate dose is l-200th <one-two-hundredth) of a grain; though many patients take tablets containing one one-hundredth of a grain of nitroglycerin. / i Suspicion Confirmed Interested In the complaint of your corresjsmdent who said he had paid $180 for Injection treat ment of hemorrhoids ... Of oourse the doctor who charged $180 was either treating a millionaire or else ho was a blood sucker. My own feo for such treatment rarely Is as high as $75, usually about $35, and even where I have to operate the total cost to the patient rarely runs over $100. We must not let people think that all doctors are extortion ists. .. . (M. D.) Answer—Thank you, Doctor. I suspected the correspondent had been taxed excessively, but his un grateful crediting of tho cure to some funny diet idea he had taken up shortly after the treatment irked me and I felt it must have been worth $180 to> treat a patient like that.

Woolei afternoon dresses, with long sleeves that are wide at the wrist, have all the trimming concen trated on the sleeves. Bands of vel vet, gold kid or a line of buttons make an unusual sort of trimming for these dresses. On others, signs of the sodlac are embroidered at trimming for sleeves or the bodice. Furs are dyed all sorts of un usual shades at this house. Rea Hop. tinted an olive green, is used for a full, knee-length coat that is made with modified leg of-mutton shoulders.

Your Children Qjr OHt* ftdwrta Barts* I like to telk about temper. It is the most Interesting subject in i all psychology. It is the devil's way to get his revenge on humanity. He picks, nearly always, the inferiority folk for his pawns Who doesn't love to get mad? I never feel quite so brave as when I am in a rage and ban tell people exactly what I think of them. At other times I am afraid. I go for months thinking this and that, and then when outraged and suddenly furious. I find the blood rushing to my head with that lovely "don’t glve-a-dorn” feeling, and out I go and tear things up right. Oh, how grand it is, not to be afraid I' Salks Cling to Their Joy And if I am tills way, the most gentle of souls, I assure you, eating out of anybody's hand, you must be this way too. I am not sparing a soul today. In truth every moth er's son of us. and daughter too, Just loves to get mad. It is far more fun tbait laughing. Or even eating. It is an orgy demanded by the sup pressions. and they have to get out or else we’d go mad. So we think. And therefore, my bretheren, and slsteren, we need to think about Tommy’s temper, or Lucy’s sulks. Yes, sometimes the possessor of a good sound rage, prefers to wallow in her feetings, and keep her joy for a day or a week, instead of letting it go all at once. She loves to make others suiler or worry about her as long as she can. Olve me the active volcano every time, rather than the brooding one that keeps everybody jumpy and never announces which way its lava may run. But neither are easy to live with. Any kind of “temperamental” people can spoil the peace of mind of others, whether they nurse chronic grouch or blow up periodically. Righteous wrath has certainly a place in the scheme of things. To get healthily Indignant about some not temper. And it h temper we thing a man's right. But this is are speaking about. Sometimes children are unhap pily placed. Their dally experience is irritating, either at home, at school or in their play life. This Is conducive to temper, whether the parent perceives the cause or not. Children cannot always be sunny, we must admit. If they are 1)1 or weak physically they will often be cross. I think this belongs In the class of protest against unfair con ditions and has a legitimate exouse. Attempt At Intimidation But, too often, it is the other way, and the child who has no rea so nto blow up does so for the rea sons I have given. He cannot feel Important enough without getting mad. He oannot get his way, as he wants it, and rather than listen to reason or let someone else have a ohanee, he resorts to the bully method df intimidation. Cure? Well, one way is to refuse him his goal when he begnls to storm. But first remove possible causes of dally discontent. Try to find out whether his disposition Is being ruinod by something you don’t suspect. If ho has a good average of blessings, and there Is no apparent root for this wild growth, then I’d put a little salt on the weed. Just don't put up with his nonsense. Let him learn that the oonsequenoes of temper do not pay. He will weigh values, eventual ly, and when he discovers that temper pays no premiums, he will learn more self control.
