‘Boss Bug’ Shatters Happiness Stands Second on List of Causes Deadly to Marriage. BY GRETTA PALMER Time* Special Writer. • YORK. April 18.—What is the boss bug o It Is the second most common cause of marital unhappiness and infidelity," according to Donald A. Laird, writing in the Modern Psychologist. It is an affliction of “17 per cent of women, as compared

3 per cent of men.” It is 'about the worst way, short of violence, in which to get anything done by others, changed by others or accepted by others." The boss bug is the determination, at all costs ar.d regardless of all reason,. to have our own way. The boss bug may get you if you are dissat-

isfied with your j income, your husband or the color; of your hair and if you make a ! grievance of it. Because the world i refuses to give you what you want! you will try to bring it under your thumb by ranting or tears. A fine job you will make of it. too, you may be sure. It also may get you if you have a “swelled head" and begin to look down your nose at the rest of the human race as a lot of incompetents who must submit to your will. They won't like you, either. The person who has the boss bug has a very lonely time of it. Tests have shown that, even in so homely a matter as a poker game, the players will take a keener delight, in winning from the boss bug victim than from the person who is not insistent on dominating them. They will go out of their way to take you down a peg in business and sport, even in love. Oh, most especially in love! Rules Husband's Life The wife who is subject to this malady is the one who insists that her husband shall not hire any stenographer until she has approved her. She is the little woman who makes his old friends feel unwelcome in their home and forces him to accept acquaintances of her choice. She is the girl who nags a j man to ask lor a raise, without the faintest idea of the inner workings of his office or of whether he deserves one. The husband with a boss bug gives his wife a charge account but makes her ask for every cent of cash. He orders her to send back j that damned dress because it is cut j too low. He patronizes her interest I in painting or music and says, with horror, that no wife of his is ever going to get a job. Undermines AM Affection These husbands and wives do not j realize that they are undermining all affection by demanding that someone else shall submit to their desires. They think, in all probability that they are working for the best interests of the olh?r person and are demanding no more than their rights. They had better wake up—they really had—to the fact that there are no ''rights" in human relationships—only voluntary efforts to please. You may get your own way by brute force or hysterics or tears but you will pay for it by building up a deep resentment in the person on whose rights you infringe. The boss bug is the boll-weevil of the happy home.

Mr. Klein felt that, as his partner could not respond with a major, his best out was undoubtedly a minor suit, which, of course, suited Miss Klein. ana MISS KLEIN in the. North opened the five of hearts. When South played the ten, Mr. Klein won with the ace and led a small club. Miss Klein played low and dummy’s queen won the trick. A small club was returned from dummy and South discarded the eight of diamonds. Mr. Klein went right up with the ace and then returned a small heart, finessing dummy's jack, which held. The king of hearts was returned and then a small spade. South played the ten and Mr. Klein won the trick with the ace. He returned the eight of hearts, which he trumped in dummy with the deuce of clubs. Now came the interesting play—a diamond was returned from dummy, South played the king, West the jack and North the ten. The

ace of diamonds was played next and West played the queen. It looked as though the natural play for Miss Klein was to discard her spade—but remember that she had doubled the contract. Her only hope of defeating the hand was to find her partner with the queen of spades. Extra tricks mean nothing when a brother is doubled. Therefore, she trumped her partner's ace of diamonds with the nine of clubs and then cashed her king of spades, following with the six of spades, which South, her partner, won with the jack. South now returned the queen of spades, Mr. Klein had to trump, as he had nothing but the jack and eight of trump, but Miss Klein held the king and ten over him, thereby defeating his contract one trick. A well-played hand offensively and especially defensively. (Copyright. 1934. bv NEA Service. Inc.)

A Womans Viewpoint BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

TELL, me, Mrs. Ferguson,” said the man who sat next to me at dinner, “do you really believe in all your theories about managing husbands?” “Os course, I believe in them,” I said, “only I know very well they won't work. Theories about husbands are like democracy. Its principles are fine, but we haven’t enough integrity to apply them nor enough intelligence to abide the good results if we did. “When we are all well balanced emotionally and have a modicum of common sense, marriage will be one grand, sweet song. But that will never happen, largely because we are more or less freakish, unstable and mildly crazy. The exciting thing about being married is that you never know just what is going to happen next. “Just when you think you're all settled you bump into another breath-taking surprise, and you may expect to discard an illusion around every corner. I imagine you don’t really know much about marriage until you’re too told to enjoy it more.” “But,” interrupted the man, “do you think women would be satisfied if they all could make

their husbands over into some favorite pattern?” “Heavens, no!”—the man was a perfect gentleman when it came to listening—"marriage gets its real fillip from the fact that when it comes to improving husbands the job never is done. Everything else ends some time. Furnishing the house, piecing quilts, knitting a dress, collecting old glass, raising children, or being president of the woman’s club—all these finally come to an end. Only dish washing and husbands go on forever. The dishes are always there to do—and in perennial need of cleaning—and a husband is always there, too, in perennial need of some sort of training or reforming or picking uq after. “No, I said, deciding I had better try to be charming for a change and let him do the talking, “theories about husbands never work—and it may be a good thing for us that they don’t.” Meeting Date Changed Regular meeting of the New Century Club scheduled for today will be held Wednesday, May 2, wth Mrs. J.

Manicure ‘Bar’ Comes to Grace Post-Repeal Era By Vnitfd Prctu NEW YORK, April 18— Madame Berthe, beauty specialist, says that your hands are your character gauge and is putting out anew manicure "bar” which sounds a little hoodlum but really isn’t. Nail polish, nail-polish remover, and cuticle remover come in decanters in the bar. and if your instinct for the game is good, you give your nails a “sip” at the "bar.” The polish comes labeled clear champagne, light sherry, medium claret, etc. Madame Berthe says long, oval nails denote artistic temperament. Medium ovals mean strong, inventive nature. Short ovals —literary talent and ambition. Round, flat nails means domesticity and maternal instinct. Small, lound. raised nails found in morose and weak characters. Short, broad, stubby nails for I Illiteracy and stubbornness. Long, broad nails for cunning and decep- ! tion. Large, square types denote de- ■ termination and daring. All right. ‘ figure yourself out!
