Wives in America Never Satisfied, Woman Member ofDePauw Faculty Asserts 1: 7 Time * Special GREENCASTLE, Ind., Dec. 15. —“The American wife does as she pleases and never is satisfied. If her husband makes “1,000,000 she wants $2,000,000, and if he' makes $2,000,000 she v. ants $3,000,000,” says Miss Marguerite Doby, instructor in .I’rench at De Pauw University here, who has a residence at 4040 V. Illinois St., Indianapolis. Miss Doby’s home is in i ’ranee, but she has been in America so long that she says it v.ould be impossible for her to go back to France and make

! er home with her people because of her changed viewpoint. Contrasting the French and 'merican wife, Miss Doby said: • The French wife is not expected t > be a jazz hound or a statistic in ie number of women in business. She does not go about without her husband, and when she spends any aoney she makes a strict accounting to hubby. "Divorces rank much higher in America than in France and prob- . 7 bly the dissatisfaction of the American wife partially accounts for it. “French girls are brought up much more strictly than American iris. They never go anywhere unha peroned. I am going to France next summer,” said Miss Doby, “and if I wish to buy a dress I will have t o take my mother along. If I wish to go to a show the whole family will escort me. A girl is never alone with a man even though she is engaged to him. And if she kisses him, it must be done with mamma looking on. It simply isn’t done otherwise in France. There would not be much kick in that according to American standards. When I came to the United States, I actually was afraid of men because I had never associated with them in the free and easy way American girls do. “These things do not coincide with the average American idea of French girls.” According to Miss Doby, many of our misconceptions were caused by the soldiers in the World War. “Boys came to Paris on a three-day leave, and of course, it was impossible to meet the best people in that length of time. Then they went home and talked about the wild French women. There are two distinct classes of girls in Fmnce—the good and the bad. The girls of the latter class do not pretend to be anything else, while in America you have girls in the best society who are no better than women of the streets and yet they pretend to be otherwise. “International - marriages, in France, are a failure because of the* different viewpoint that the sexes have toward one another in the two countries. Os one hundred international marriages I know that culminated as a result of the war, none of them have been a success,” yet she said she would prefer an American as a husband in preference to a Frenchman. The Frenchman is more polished than the American, but after really knowing the American men one cannot help appreciate their real worth, and they certainly are good to their wives.” When asked about educational systems in France, Miss Doby said co-education would certainly be called a failure as there is no such thing. Practically all the girls are schooled in convents. France does not believe in “mass education.” Only the select go to school and this probably is the reason that the French boy of high school age is better informed than the American college student. In France students go to college to study and not for a good time, she said. Miss Doby, who is an embodiment of the illusive word “chic,” says the French women are able to achieve this with smaller expenditure of money than an American woman can. “They put a little flower here, and a bow there,” she said, using characteristic French gestures.

Shattering Dreams of ‘Lost Love’ \ - BY MARTHA LEE Many men idealize an early love affair, and endow the girl with qualities which she probably never possessed. The more time that elapses, the more perfect the image of the lost love grows until no flesh and blood girl can compete with the dream. The best cure for such a condition is for the man to meet his early love again. Os course, if it was real love, based on mutual sympathy and understanding, the meeting will only fan the flame once more. But in the majority of cases, such a meeting is a shock which wakes the man up and brings him down out of the clouds into the realm of reality. When he finds that the misty maid of his youth has grown fat and nags her husband, he can only heave a sigh of relief at what he has missed. One of our writers tells a story of a bachelor who never married because a nymph named Emily blighted his life by marrying another man. Years later, in a visit to his old home, he met Emily again. To his horror, she was a banal and uninteresting housewife, slightly dowdy, with no conversational powers whatever—a far cry from the scintillating miss for whom he had renounced a home and children of his own! The shock was severe, and upset him for days. Too late he saw that living in a dream is a bad thing when it shuts one’s eyes to reality. Love Dear Miss Lee: Is it possible that after an interval of four years, a man is still unable to forget a lost love that was not worthy of him? I met a man about five months ago. and he haS been calling on me since. I have learned to like him immensely and would do anything for him. yet he is rather distant toward me. He intended to marry this girl, but she married another man with a better position and more chaflce of advancement. He says he is trying to forget her: don't you think four years is long enough? I would like to make him care for me. Is there any way? Or shall I give Dear Optimist: No, I wouldn’t give him up at once. If. after you have done all you can to give him a real love in place of a mystical one, he still prefers his dream, then I would give him up. But I would put up a fight to save him from his Own folly first. This first girl was evidently selfish. You be unselfish. Encourage him to talk about himself. Admire him (if y6u can consciensiously) and make an honest effort to understand him. Let him talk about the other girl all he wants to. After a while, he will become dependent on you for sympathy and for companionship, and if I am not mistaken, he will find this a very welcome substitute for the misty halo which he has placed around the head of a selfish girl.

OLD STYLE HUSBANDS “OUT” WITH CONSTANCE TALMADGE

My next marriage will be one of love, because that element is the m< st important factor. tt tt tt No girl with common sense will permit the present antiquated marriage system to make her life miserable. nun Companionate marriage, in which both man and wife have an equal start down the matrimonial stretch, unhampered by ancient rites, is the goal which modern women have attained by applying common sense to their situation. tt tt tt The day has gone when a bride would go through the whole “love, honor and obey” ritual without cracking a smile.

HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Dec. 15.—Constance Talmadge, who recently won a divorce in Scotland—her second—told the United Press in an exclusive interview today that she was through with the old-style husband. Tastes in books, in amusements and in friends change, and for that reason it ought to be all right to change husbands, too, she said. Her next and third venture in matrimony, the screen star said, would be along companionate lines advocated by Judge Ben Lindsey.

v “The day has gone,” Miss Talmadge said, “when a bride would go through the whole ‘love, honor and obey’ ritual without cracking a smile. The average girl makes almost as much money as the man; and with that independence has come common sense.” “No girl with common sense will permit the present antiquated marriage system to make her life miserable. Companionate marriage, in which both man and wife have an equal start down the matrimonial stretch, unhampered by ancient rites, is the goal which modern women have attained by applying common sense to their situation.” Knows by Experience From her own experience, the actress said, she has learned that a girl can promise to love, honor and obey a man in good faith but “when the first blush of love is over and bitter realities come up for settlement, it is preposterous to force a wife legally to love a man who is opposite to her temperamentally." “Personally I have come to this conclusion—my next marriage will be one of love, because that element is the most important factor; but it will be a marriage in which spontaneity and sentimentality are negligent factors, and common sense, real sentiment and experience more important ones,” she said.

Mentions Kitchen Miss Talmadge doesn’t want a husband, she explained, “who marries me through his admiration of me as an actress and then conceives the notion that I would match the interior decorations of the home better if I wore an apron or made the kitchen my habitat.” ‘“That,” she said, “is putting love to too severe a test. Such an idea is all right for a professional cook and those who like cooking. My mother is very fond of cooking andkso is my sister Natalie. But I’m not a cook. I really don’t like the business of cooking as a career. I have Been an actress since I was fourteen. My

BEAUTY HOW and WHY tt tt tt TREATING LIGHT AND DARK COMPLEXIONS

BY ANN ALYSIS Texture and coloring of skin make up what we call complexion. There are two distinct complexion types, blonde and brunet, and each type has many gradations. Blonde skin should have the most equisite care, if the owner wishes to retain its delicacy of quality and coloring after reaching thirty. By that time the once rose-petaled complexion is often drab and colorless, while the brunet, whose vivid color has better withstood the devastating effect of the changing seasons, is at the height of her beauty. Both blonde and brunet who wish to preserve their youthfGl complexion must exercise the utmost care in bathing the face, never using hard water, and discontinuing the use of any soap that produces the slightest drawing of the skin, for this shows the withdrawal of the greatly needed natural oils, which keep the skin soft and pliant. All traces of soap should be immediately removed by rinsing. After gently drying the face, the blonde, whose skin is apt to be dry, should replace the depleted natural oil by rubbing in a very little cold or vanishing cream. The brunet, if her skin be oily, should adopt a different treatment. She should apply a few drops of diluted toilet water on a piece of absorbent cotton to remove all excess oil, which when allowed to remain on the skin, makes it so unsightly.
