she look like?" So it is small wonder that men have placed prettiness
near the top of the list, and the Alimentive woman is the prettiest of
all types. This little fact must not be overlooked when searching for
the causes which have prompted so many of the world's wealthiest men to
marry them. Other men may have to content themselves with plain wives,
but the man of means can pick and choose--and every man prefers a pretty
wife to a plain one.

Feminine prettiness (not beauty) consists of the rose-bud mouth, the
baby eyes, the cute little nose, the round cheeks, the dimpled chin,

Look back and you will recall that it was the pretty, plump girls who
had beaux earliest, married earliest, and who, even when left with
several children, did not remain widows long.

wife most pleasant to get along with are serenity, optimism and good
cooking.

Her Weaknesses

Many an Alimentive wife loses her husband's love because of her too
easy-going habits. Unless controlled, these lead to slovenliness in
personal appearance and housekeeping.

The Alimentive Wife and Money

The Alimentive wife usually has her share of the family income because
she has the endearing ways that wring it out of hubby.

Sales people everywhere say, "We like to see a fat woman coming, for she
usually has money, spends it freely and is easy to please."

In Disagreements

What they do with their quarrels after they are through with them
determines to a great extent the ultimate success of any pair's
marriage. Alimentive husbands an
