About midnight Luisi saw the pretty girl and invited her to go riding. Before they got to the point exchanging names Luisi had been robbed of $7, his sedan and his girl.

They had stopped riding about 3 a. m. near Bayside, Queens, Luisi said. A man suddenly appeared beside the car. He was about six feet tall and wore a mask.

The model the phoenix, She probably never desires of men.

At any rate, if there completely vanished from the face of her. my definition of a model wife. Well, if you are on a stiff hunt for one search and waste no more time upon wife is as much a legendary bird as existed except in the imaginations and ever was such a creature she has the earth and left not a chick behind For which you should be profoundly thankful, for what would an imperfect man do with a perfect wife? Think of what a standing reproach she would always be to him. Personally, I can think of nothing that would be more a wearing on a man's nerves than to be married to a woman who was always right and whose own shortcomings he could not throw in her teeth when she reproached him with his own faults and weaknesses. It is not the austere saints but the cheerful sinners who make comfortable daily companions.

So that's that, and my idea of a "too bright and good for human nature's it, but a woman who is just jolly and a good sport and who has so makes her merciful to her husbands. My model wife isn't a Patient treatment and makes a doormat of man I would have mighty little spirit than that and more courage of my children. model wife is not a woman who 18 daily food, as the old poem puts and kind and loving and sympathetic many imperfections of her own that it Griselda who stands for any sort of herself for her family.

She isn't always picking a quarrel or ready for an argument and she doesn't take it as a personal insult when her husband differs from her in point of view.

She doesnt have tantrums or go into hysterics or pass into the silence when she can't have her own way about everything and her nusbad does not have to spend his evenings behind the protection of his newspaper because he is afraid that if he says a word he will start something.

So she makes her husband a comfortable and peaceful home.

Like the woman in the Scriptures, she looks well to the ways of her household. She takes an interest in his business and his plans. And she makes him feel that at all times he has a business partner upon whom he can depend, as well as a wife who will share fortune with him with as good a grace as she has good fortune. model wife keeps herself attractive in mind and body. She docs not consider that a woman is giving a man a square deal when after marriage she throws away the bait with which she caught him.

She realizes that there is no magic in the marriage ceremony that keeps a man in love with a woman who is dull and stupid and uninteresting to talk to and who is slovenly and dowdy and unattractive to look at. So she makes the most of such brains and looks as heaven has given her and makes a conscientious effort to try to keep her husband believing that he was a good picker when he selected her for a wife. model wife drives her husband with a loose rein and lets him My believe he is having his head. She is as polite to him as she is to a strange man and as diplomatic in handling him as she would be in dealing with boss if she was a private secretary. She is a good listener and a crotchety encores his pet stories.

She gives him the praise he hungers and thirsts for and she lets other people tell him of his faults. And, above all, she loves him. That's my Idea of a model wife. DOROTHY DIX. ALTAVISTA FEB ALTAVISTA, Nov.
