By RUTH M1LI-ETT
NEA Staff Writer
She's £ typical wife if—
She is more anxious to go out
in the evenings than you are.
She is quicker to notice that
you need a haircut than that you
have just had one.
She thinks your job is a snap
compared with hers, although
she may only hint about it.
No matter how little encour-
agement you give her, she al-
ways insists on rehashing a par-
ty after it is over.
She always acts a little sur-
prised and hurt when you men-
tion some small happening in a
crowd that you haven't told her
previously.
She doesn't want you to criti-
cize her friends, even though
she always lets you in on all
their faults.
When you comment on what a
good-looking dress another wom-
an is wearing, she says: "It
ought to be. Do you know how
much that dress cost? It cost
such-tnd-such if it cost a cent!"
Though she frequently asks
your advice, you notice that
when a matter :s really import-
ant to her, she decides it for her-
self and merely tells you what
she is going to do
She is. never so amiable as
when she has just come home
from a shopping trip with an ex-
travagant purchase and the se-
cret knowledge: *hat; she really
shouldn't have Irtnrgh't'it.
