MAKE LOVE TO YOUR HUSBAND.

ELIZABETH BECEET GIVES GOOD ADVICE TO THE MARRIED WOMAN Lots of tragedies would be averted if women would only make love to their husbands. This is true at all times, but more especially during these days of demobilisation, when men who have t een away from their homes for several years except possibly for brief “ leaves” are returning. While tlie men have been away their minds have grown. They are not the men who left ns. Their outlook on life has altered. During those years of absence the men have met many women outside their own circle, and women of all ranks have delighted to honour the men in khaki. The woman left in the home has had many rivals these last few years, and though they may have won nothing but a little admiration and gratitude from the man, yet they have changed his ideas about women.

He has admired the gracious manner of one; delighted in the singing and playing of another; found a good comrade in the girl-in-khaki; wondered at the endurance and pluck of the nurse. Moreover., (lie Jhas realised that any man may win any woman if he is strong mentally and physically. His wife has had an anxious time while he lias been away, and few of the jTeasant things- of life ihave come her v. ay; admiration has not been poured out as an offering to her, though her man will be the first to think her worthy of it. The wise woman will forget all that, for the man or woman with a. grievance is not popular. She will put aside all worries and household cares no matter at what cost, dress herself’ as well as possible, and! drop those years of married life when she and her husband forgot to be sweethearts, and were merely if hard-working couple. She will conjure up the vision of their days together a.s sweethearts and married lovers; remember the things he said he loved in her, the colour lie said mutdied her eyes, the curl on the nape of her neck. The curl has been i rushed up straight at the back during the busy days of the war, .mt the sweet-heart-wife will see it is in its old place when her man comes home.

Before marriage a. man and woman woo each other instinctively without realising it. The sweetheart wife, looking back, realises the fact that many pietty words and ways which delighted Per man, sprang into life for him. They were used unconsciously then; now she must use them consciously, knowing their power. Every one of us needs love. It is a grey, cold world for those who have no one to love them. Don’t forget to let your man know you love him. it needs to lie said as well as demonstrated. Every time you think a loving thought utter it. Love always wins love and always will, but though a man easily falls into the habit of calling the mother of his children “mother,” he needs the sweetheart in her more than the mother. In the new days that, are dawning men and women are going to be better friends than ever before. Wives are going to share 'heir husbands’ lives to ;i much greater extent than hitherto. Tho women the khaki man (has met l ave broadened his ideas, have made him realise that women have many interests outside the home. He will be wanting his wife to be all to him —sweetheart and friend. She must not* disappoint him. When Johnny comes marching home again he will find happiness, if his 1 sweetheart-wife awaits him. But she must not forget the sweetheart bit.

“Women, make love to your husbands,” is the slogan for tlie days of yxia.ee.
