About Cure of Husbands Who Drink BY MARTHA LEE How can I cure my husband of drinking? To the wives who ask this question, let me say that you cannot. The strength to stop drinking must come from within, not without. You can help, not so much by the things that you do, as by the things that you do not do. Do not nag or condemn him for his fault. If you let him alone, he will condemn himself more severely than you can. Do not tell him that he is weak. He already knows that, and needs to be convinced of the opposite. Your tenderness and sympathy will rouse his self-contempt more effectively than hours of villiflcation. One man told me that he stopped drinking because his wife did not “razz” him, and he could not bear the humiliation of appearing before her calm, quiet eyes in an inebriated condition. Seek the Cause Always remember that drinking is an effect. Search for the cause, and try to remove it. H. L. Mencken says that men drink to raise the threshold of sensation and to ease the agony of living. What do you do to ease the agony of living for your husband? What do you put into his life to take the place of drink? __ William James says that the only cure for dipso-mania is religiomania. In other words, only anew and violent reaction of the nervous system will crowd out the old habit. Thus anew affection may have more expulsive power than the Keeley cure. Cora Harris has said that you cannot wean a nation from its habits simply by legislating against them. Neither can a wife force her husband to stop drinking. All she can do is to set an example wise enqiugh and loving enough to stir him to emulation. Her Husband Drinks A young woman, who does not want her letter printed, has written in and asked for help. Her husband whom she dearly loves has but one fault. He drinks. “He admits that he is in the wrong.’’ she writes, "but just seems to go ahead.” Their child is growing up. and noticing her father’s condition. The mother, who has never lied to her child, still cannot tell the truth. “Oh, can’t we put police out that will not sell out to these bootleggers and clean up Ihdlanapolis.” she says. Dear Mother-who-cannot-lie: I am very much interested in your letter, and I have asked several men what action on the part of their wives would influence them to stop drinking. To my great surprise, one answered like this: “If my wife would start drinking herself, that would cure me quicker than anything.” “Two wrongs do not make a right,” I objected. “Why should she tear down her own standards in order to help you?” “Well, she could just pretend,” he said. “She could just take enough to scare me.” Justifiable, Perhaps I do not personally approve of this plan. I do not believe in lowering your own standard of conduct for any reason whatsoever. But I offer you this idea for whatever it may be worth, and you can do your own experimenting. The masculine brain has many quirks that I do not understand, and if you can win your case by strategy, perhaps you would be justified. I should like the opinion of other readers on this subject. Will men please write in and tell what attitude on the part of their wives would be most helpful in assisting them to stop drinking? Please mention particularly whether or not it would have any effect on you if your wife started to drink herself. Please be willing to tell your own experience in order to help somebody else.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Here's Tip; Don’t Feed , the 'Brute’ BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON Dr. Minna C. Denton, professor of home economics of the George Washington University, says wellfed men do not ask for divorces and that a wife who is a learned dietician can keep her husband happy and, by staving off dyspepsia, can be assured of his eternal fidelity. Now, things may be like that where the professor lives, but you won’t find men so easily managed in other parts of the country. We all agree that a man who is fed the proper number of calories and vitamines is much pleasanter around home. He is not so likely to growl if the children make too much noise or to swear if he loses his collar button, but so far as most of us have been able to observe, whenever you feed him too well he begins to acquire a sleek and prosperous look and to be attracted to some of the pretty girls he sees. Mind on Two Things My idea, and surely it is in some respects at least quite as workable as that of the eminent doctor, is to keep your husband in a mild dyspeptic state so that he will not have energy left to think of anything except his business and his stomach. It is not the sick man who gets up and down the land flirting with other women. It is the hearty, robust, vigorous individual who, with digestive organs working well, feels so fit that he believes himself to be radiating fascination. How It Works Out The husband who is a bit ailing generally runs home to be nursed. The well-fed one on the other hand is as likely as not to start in the opposite direction. The old argument about “feeding the brute” has long since proved false. Modern women are wiser than their mothers. They know that the faithful cook who ruins her complexions over the kitenen range is quite likely to be abandoned for the butterfly who is too dainty to soil her hands with such menial tasks. This is certainly a wrong condition of things. Nobody realizes it any more than wives. But so long as men are so erratic, what can we do about it?

New Fetishes

BY HEDDA HOYT United Press Fashion Editor PARIS, Nov. 4.—One can’t come to Paris without purchasing some of the latest fashion fetishes which are brought out to amuse the feminine world from season to season.

Made of black and white velvet and turned into pocketbooks, they are carried by many fashionables. Almost everyone purchases a penguin fetish since it is the latest good luck token in Paris. Quite as amusing as the penguin.

fdrlike material which have been popular with youngsters in America are so realistic in Paris as to be almost alive. Here, they are made of real fur and one can’t tell v)hether women are carrying real dogs or dog purses in many cases. In fact, many Parisians walk about the smart shopping districts with tiny breeds of French and Belgium dogs in their arms. Another proof of the Parisian’s preference for imitation dogs over other fetish Is the wearing of tiny chenille dogs upon their sport hats, Tiny airedales and wire-haired terriers o fchenille with pin backings are quite the thing in millinery accessories.
