It's New-Youthful After getting the children to bed early and planning a special dinner two, complete with candlelight, her husband turns on the lights, remarking: "Is there am law against seeing what you're eating?" After washing and ironing the living room curtains, laundering slip covers and waxing the furniture until it gleams, her husband comes home, looks around and asks, "What've you been doing all day?" Though the wife is a blonde, when her husband gives his highest approval of another looks she is invariably a brunette. She ask. "Do you like my hair this way?" He says, "Sure, it looks fine." without even glancing up from his paper to see if she is wearing a pony tail or the Italian cut. He talks as thougn his secretary i were a marvel because she can! handle the routine business oi the office. Then he doesn't even say "nice going" wh his wife has 18 to a buffet supper or strniphtens out a jam that Junior has gotten into at school.

He asks for and takes her advice a business matter and forgets she had anything- to do with his decision when it turns out to be a smart move. When a woman labels herself "just a housewife" it is usually because her ego is suffering from just such ordinary letdowns as these.
