Show "The Woman's Touch" I 'fNever underestimate the power of a woman. " But, it is the women themselves who fail to understand and use their power, ! Today women are emancipated. emancipat-ed. They go out into the world, the equals of men. And now it seems there is a woman in front of every man, shaking a finger before his face and telling him what to do, I have a secret to share with you. Do you know the one complaint that men most often make about their wives? They say, "If she would only stop nagging! 11 Every woman knows that when she "keeps telling, " she is nagging. Every woman knows in her heart, too, that nagging does no good. Why does a woman continue to do this when it accomplishes nothing? Does she do it perhaps, per-haps, to relieve her own tensions ten-sions and irritations? I am afraid she does. And I ask you, all you wives who love your husbands and want to take care ol them, wouldn't you do better to find some other way of dealing with your tensions, instead of working them off on your long-suffering I men? J Remember, constant dripping we'ars away a stone. Constant nagging wears away the most patient man. Sooner or later he will flare up in answering answer-ing irritation,, .and there will be a needless quarrel. Telling him does no good. You should know that a man does not like to be told. He knows all too well what you've been "telling" him for years, A man needs to take for grante'd in himself his manly , strength and vigor. When you tell him to watch his diet, you undermine that belief in his t manliness, you make him feel soft and unmanly. That is why he bristles with irritation. He has to protect his ego. If you have been trying to change his ways with words, give it up. Slip into a new gear, Change to the gnetle, artful persuasion that only a woman knows how to do. Change his ways without even letting him know you're doing it. You have tifie power to do this. Remember, you are his new wife, who never nags. Give up trying to TELL him. |
