how to Ml worn derstad 'Ji mt Men think off them as unpredictable, flighty, and mysterious, but here is the low-down from one who ought to know a woman. with reason, and thought out each act of kindness rationally, half the beauty and spontaneity would dis appear from this earth. Moreover, if wives were totally logical beings, would husbands love them more for it? Of course not Fortunately for all of us, women, like men, are creatures of emotion as well as reason; and women, like men, crave praise and acceptance and love. No one denies that women express these emotional needs more often, more easily, and more -violently. Years ago I heard a husband say, "I really envy my wife. When she gets mad, you know it! No ulcers for her! I only saw her frustrated once. We hadn't been married long when she blew up over something. She did it with a flourish: grabbed her purse, shouted 'Goodbye, and slammed the door. The only hitch was that that particular door led into a closet, and there she stood in the dark, burning angry and shamefaced." That man was right! Most doctors agree that the ability to release feel ings in anger and tears is healthful There is no mystery, however, in why women do it more easily. The reason is physiological and based on the production of female hormones. There are a thousand other old wives' tales which husbands use to "prove" the imponderable nature of women. "Woman driver" is one; "tied to Mama's apron strings" is another. Statistics poke holes in the first, and a veritable army of GI brides and wives of men who must travel con found the second. . I'm not trying to plead that women are like men, however. They wear lipstick and love babies. They move furniture about and listen to soap operas. They sob at weddings. They love new hats and Christmas and anniversaries. In a hundred ways they differ from the men they marry. And thank God! These are differ ences we should cherish differences sometimes vexing, often charming, but understandable always as an in tegral part of womanhood. Family Weekly.

But for those who prefer (or for health reasons require) completely effortless starting, an electric starter is available on many models. A gentle touch of the plug starts the engine: no work, no strain ! It may cost just a few dollars more when you first buy an Eclipse. But user reports prove con clusively that the total cost of owning an Eclipse is less than for ordinary mowers. Eclipse mowers are built to last years longer and it's not at all uncommon for families to use an Eclipse for 15, 20 or even 30 years with very little maintenance expense. The rugged construction, the craftsmanship" that is acquired only by half a century of specialized manufacture pays off for the user.
