The Needle -Paint
(MRS. NORMA SIEBERT,
To be happy with a man, you
must understand him a lot and
love him a little; to be happy with
a woman you must love her a lot
and try not to understand her at
all.--Helon
Rowland.
To help husband understand the
better, that unpredictable person
they married, I submit the fol-
lowing, by Alan Beck:
What Is a Wife
A girl becomes a wife with her
eyes wide open. She knoyvs that
those. sweetest words, "I take thee
to my wedded Husband," really
mean, "I promise thee to cook
three meals a day for 60 years;
thee will I clean up after; thee
will I talk to even when thou art
not listening; thee will I worry
about, cry over, and take all man-
ner of hurts from."
A wife is a girl whose doll is
wrapped in tissue and packed away
in the closet, a girl with a packet
of letters at the bottom of her
glove box and a snapshot album
that is never opened—each a frag-
ile link with girlhood, each so
treasured and so forgotten. Now
she lives in a hurried world. Get
that man up, turn on the stove,
fry that egg, tote that wash, lift
that furniture ,paint that floor till
the old back has 17 kinks, and then
he comes home and asks, "What
did you do today, dear?"
B.A., Woman's Page Editor)
Wives, like little girls, come in
all shades of assorted colors—red,
white, yellow, and brown. All are
available in weights from 98
pounds to 200. Yet every wife
since Eve has been unhappy about
the shade of her complexion, and
she is always ten pounds too
heavy.
When God created the world,
he must surely have looked into
the future and been puzzled—all
those things to be cared for and
kept straight! All those men to
be fed; all those electric cords that
won't work; those clothes to be
picked up; and what about those
forever tracked -up kitchen floors?
So He created woman to keep man
presentable and the world neat
and in good working order. If it
weren't for wives, one billion men
from Murmansk to Miami would
be hungry, unshaved, ornery, un-
happy and buttonless.
A wife is what gets a man to
the train on time, ties his bow
tie, • listens to his tall tales, and
tells him how smart, wise, and tal-
ented he really is. A wife is the
worlds champion idea planter. A
husband can scarcelly turn around
before he finds that somehow he
has come across a wonderful idea.
He suspects foul play, but it is
alright because his idea has made
her so very happy.
A wife is a Jill -of -all -trades. She

is a painter, judge, nurse, banker,
secretary, and treasurer; a gard-
ener ,.laundress, cook, and bureau
of information. She can repair a
toaster, put up a shelf, unstop a
sink, bawl out a railroad, remodel
last year's coat, let down a hem,
paper a wall, and make supper for
a guest out of two cans and a head
of lettuce. When the going is
really tough and something has to
be done in a hurry, she can be-
come a delicate flower, a siren, a
lady wrestler ,or a Mother Super-
ior.
That whicha husband cannot
recognize under his very nose is
apparent to a wife even before it
happens, From a block away, a
wife can tell what sort of a mood
her husband is in, whether or not
the market vegetables are fresh,
and if a womans dress is new or
an old one altered. She can dis-
tinguish a kiss from a kiss, a truth
from a white lie told to make her
happy, and she can sense the dif-
ference from a real box of candy
and a peace offering. A wife
knows he will forget their anniv-
ersary even before it is time for
him to remember to note it in his
notebook.
A man has a pocket, but a wife
goes him one better. She has a
purse, and into this carryall she
can pack enough equipment to out-
fit a safari. Her purse contains
a little purse inside of which is a
tiny purse. Into these she puts a
mirror, comb, phone bill, shopping
list, three letters, a one -cent
stamp, pencil ,hanky, six cleansing
tissue, lipstick, compact, one ear-
ring, a parking -lot ticket, four
snapshots, a recipe, bobby pins,
some material to be matched, a
broken bracelet, a bandage, thread,
and a piece of paper on which is
written a lovely thought she once
read in the Citizens News.
A wife is a person whose intui-
tion should be ignored, whose back
must be rubbed, whose feet need
worming in winter ,whose supper
should be praised ,and whose lips
should be kissed at least once in
the morning and once at night,
As the years roll on, her once
dancing eyes will become some-
what sad at times, and her girlish
laugliter won't be as gay as it was
in the long -ago springtime. Many
a hope and dream will be packed
away tenderly with the doll, the
packet of letters, and the snapshot
album. The future will devour
the present at an alarming rate,
and she will find she needs more
than courage. Little things will
become so important—the little
things that only her husband can
give. Just the touch of a hand, a
loving word, or a kiss, yet these
will tell her that she is still his

Bath Fragrance
One of the nicest ways of util-
izing toilet soap scraps is to grind
your accumulation of soap scraps
with the food chopper. Tie a pap-
er bag over the end to catch the
flying bits.
To each 2 cups of ground soap,
add four cups fine rolled oats and
.one cup powdered borax. Mix well,
using the hands. Now add 2 tab-
lespoons fragrant sachet powder
and mix again.
Stitch up little bags of terry -
cloth or flannelette about 6"
square and fill with soap mixture,
to be used in the bath,
If you suffer unduely from pers-
peration you should make it a
routine to bath daily in water that
is neither too hot or too cold,
(either would be over stimulat-
ing) .
Use plenty of soap to make a
good lather, paying special atten-
tion to armpits and feet.
You can make your own bath
salts by using eight tablespoons of
Epsom salts in a tub of water. It
can be bought from your drug-
gist in bulk.
Perfume and cologne make fav-
ourite gifts and if you received
one for Christmas, remember, first
of all, that it is foolish to save it
just for special occasions. It will
evaporate so you might as well
use it whenever you are going to
be among people. Evaporating
will be retarted if bottle is stored
in a dark, cool place.
Remember when you apply a
fragrance that it should go on
YOU and not on your clothes. Ap-
ply it to the pulse points—the
temples, wrists and base of throat
—and also to the ear lobes, brows
and palms. Be sparing in dabbing
it on, though, or you'll be over-
powering.
Of course, toilet water and col-
ogne are less concentrated and can
be used more liberally.
If you prefer using an atomizer
to dabbing on perfume, spray the
scent into the air and walk
through it. It will leave a deli-

Gingerich's Opens
New Location.
For Seaforth Store
Gingerich's Sales and Service
held an Open House at their new
branch in downtown Seaforth on
Friday and Saturday of last week.
According to the proprietor, Ger-
ald Gingerich, the opening was a
decided success, with large crowds
attending on both days. Manager
of the branch in Seaforth is Ver-
dun Rau, who is well-known to all
local residents.
A feature of the Friday opening
was a gift for everyone entering
the store, who had a birthday on
Friday the 13th. Nine lucky peo-
ple won prizes on this . special
offer. Other lucky winners were:
Friday, Bernard Hawthorne, Dub-
lin; Saturday, Tony Valon, Sea -
forth and Mrs. James Scott, Sea -
forth. Winner of the guessing con-
test was Mrs. Helen Wilbee, Sea -
forth.
The new store is located in
downtown Seaforth, in the former
Co -Op building. Prior to moving
to the new location Gingerich's
operated a store in Egmondville,
just outside of Seaforth.
tate fragrance that will cling for
hours.
Above all, never perfume just
before you leave the house for a
date. The scent will disappear al-
most immediately when you step
outdoors. Give it at least 20 min-
utes to set before you go out.
