Windsor st. The Marry Go Round DO YOUR HUSBAND SHOPPING EARLY By HELEN ROWLAND Wise virgins will do their husband shopping early and avoid the rush or the last of the wedding rings. Because, if you can believe all you read in the many magazines for men, there will soon be no mar rying men this side of Paradise. Most of these de feminized magazines seem to be designed to appeal exclusive ly to bachelors; and, in them, women are either treated with light and airy mockery, or Helen Rowland are pictured as the primal cause of all men's troubles and mistakes. As for married men, they are com pletely ignored as something obsolete, like horse hair sofas and mustache cups.

Can it be that our American men, once famous as the best husbands in the world, are no longer marriage minded? That they no longer think in terms of engagement rings, suburban bungalows and perambulators, but in terms of self defense, freedom and gay penthouse parties? I can't believe it! It is true that the wild women of the post war period had a great big hand in spoiling the finest lot of husbands, potential and actual, that the world has ever known. It was in those topsy turvy days that the marriage minded American man somehow got the perfectly new and Glorifying By ALICIA NEA Service Staff Writer To keep herself young looking and attractive, the woman who has limited amount of leisure time, and an even more limited budget, simply has to take advantage of the various shortcuts to beauty, learn to do what has to be done in the few free hours she has. Facials wnlch require much time and effort, elaborate massage treat ments, professional pedicures and manicures are wonderful, of course. And women with enough leisure to permit these luxuries are lucky Indeed. But Mrs.

Average Woman she who has only enough time and money to allow for a weekly visit to the hairdreaer has to figure out ingenious ways and means to keep her skin, hair, nails and figure lovely in spite of seeming handi caps. She has to do daily exercises even though she would much rather have masseuse rub away excess weight here and there on her body. If she usually is too tired to do much about her face before going to bed, she must learn to cleanse it thor oughly but quickly, to apply night cream deftly so that each stroke counts. Also to choose a cream which can remain on while she sleeps, thus providing benefit without effort. If you seldom have time to give wrists and elbows a careful cream ing, then cover them with your richest cream tomorrow morning be fore you start sweeping and dusting.

You can't blame him much; because, once you start a man going in any direction, he keeps right on going that way.

He has a single track mind, and it may take a few years more as well as a great deal of ingenuity for women to get men back into the marrying mood again. This is hard on the clear eyed young woman of today, who feels that she is living only half a life and wonders if she is ever going to get the "better half." To her has fallen the tough job of undoing the rough wprk of the jazz decade. Apparently, after a swift whirl around the Primrose Path, the girls have come right back to where they started. The girl of today wants a husband of her own, not just a borrowed ifusband. She is not content with a temporary parking space in any man's life.

But getting this idea back into a man's head is going to be almost as much of a feat as refilling a non reflllable bottle. Cheer up. Most of these pseudo cynical diatribes against the gentler sex are merely the satirical reflec tions of the younger sophisticates, who are "whistling in the dark" because they don't know what's waiting for them. I'll tell you what's waiting for them. A nice girl, who will teach them that woman is neither a punishment, a pain in the neck nor a temporary amusement, hut a very necessary life companion one who will train them to say, "Yes, dear."

We have a tendency, we Americans, to hinder rather than help them to make the effort. Our weakness is pity for the little child. And although he needs our sympathy and we carry our protection to a really disastrous point, usually. A child of three or four can dress himself. No, not if he has been made a baby doll and had his clothes hung on him daily without the slightest effort on his part.

But if mother begins early to encourage the boy and the little girl in pulling on their own stockings and getting into dresses and coats, it is ml, long until they are doing all their dressing except, perhaps, shoestrings and buttoning shirts or sweaters. It take a certain dexterity to do the latter Achievement Before Four In one nursery school I visited, the children ranged from two to four. Every one of them took off their shoes at nap time, and put them on a half hour later. Over shoes, always a task, were included in this self help. One little tyke, of perhaps three, had trouble, so I watched another child play the heavy father and tug tNe contrary rubbers on his small friend's feet.

The mother who trains her children to spread their beds as early a3 four may be regarded as heartless, yet this is exactly what progressive schools are trying to train for today. It may not be bed making, but I saw some cot mak ing, much the same thing. The children get their own covers out of the closet, carry them over to their assigned couches, and spread them out as evenly as possible. Then, with their shoes off, they slip under the blankets for their TERMS 50c WEEK $24.75 MAPLE CHAIR $14.95 TERMS 50c WEEK A handsome chair of honey toned maple with spring cushion seat and back.

Afterwards, of course, It is harder to fold the cover than to open it, yet every effort is made to teach the tots to do it. The modern school, you see, Is doing what almost any mother could do If she thought it worth while. The trouble is that mothers take too much for granted, and presuppose that little folk have no ability. Too bad that we have so little faith In our children. We carry them around on our hands, often until they are adult, when they have lost the habit of hustle and are completely dependent on others for their personal comfort.

Many adult neuresthenics, faced with effort and making a mental hazard of work, are drawn from the ranks of overcoddled children. The mother who wishes to plant the; seeds of industry, and a liking for the MUSTS of life, will find her own future, and her children's fu ture, happier and better coordinated, if she starts quite early to encourage her little ones to help themselves.
