We, The Women By RUTH MULLETT ITS A SMART HUSBAND WHO KNOWS WHEN TO SAY "WES-There are times In every husband's life when It pays to be a "yes-man." In any and all ot the following si tuitions It's the better part of wisdom for a husband to agree with his wife. Instead Of expressing his own ideas.

One Is when she models a new dress or hat she bought on sale and cant return. If he says he doesn't like it or douses, her enthusiasm with faint praise, then his wife is never going to want to wear it and his money has been wasted. Another Is when she points out some flaw In a woman who is getting more than her share of masculine attention.
