Now here was another man tell- ing her that she had somehow gained in charm during this last strange month. Barnes Bishop, who ivas the jlllil0l.‘ member 0f a fine old firm, and who was nice. zoo! It was great fun to sit here discussing the Prendergast mystery with him. " .

“Doctor Harwood Ls straight, you think?" he asked now.

"Well," the girl said licsitatingly. "he's lived in some queer places and done-I suppose-some queer things. He probably wouldn't ob- ject if the old lady left him a slice of her montgv. I wouldn't myself." she ended honestly. "But he's been wonderful to her. I think {you'd like him." _

“He isn't mixed into this grave- yard thing, anyw-ayi" Barnes con- ceded. "He w'asti't there."

"This has been fun, and I hate t0 end it." "But I'd Chayties. Doctr z‘ l-Iarwocd is pit-king me tip there at three.”

"Remember, that's-that's true." he said in parting. “I do

Page was still smiling dreamily at his absurdities, and still feeling the unaccustomed little warmth they put into her heart when she ran down the steps of the board- ing-house half a. hour later and joined Rand in the car. Immedi- ately they were off for the shore, the swaying whispering eucalyptus, the strange chaos rocms, and the stranger voices and problems of Mystery House again.

“Are you afraid of anything, Page?" Lynn asked hcr, one day.

He is the most-the most beauti- ful human animal I ever saw in my life. Page thought. With that goldish hair, and brown skin, and the old shirt opened at his throat.

"I didn't hcar you, Lynn," she said apologetically.

The blue sea, the blue sky, the white sail made a background for him as he looked seriously at her and repeated his question.

“Yes. I suppose I'm afraid of other," Page an- swered. after smiling thought. "The first night I spent here I was afraid or at least I thought I was going to be."

"I remember that first night," Lynn said.

"Pouring rain."

"Yes; and your hair was n little wet at the edges. And you were sort, of blinking when you came into the room. You had on a blue dress, and you were sort of settling the cuffs," Lynn went on. He looked at her with his anxious t placating smile; he did not want her to laugh at him.

"You remember all that!"

"I remember everything. Did I say-or did I just think I said you were terribly pretty?"

"You did say it. It was the first time I'd heard your voice."

Lynn was silent, looking off at the sky. He might have been look- ing for a cloud that would bring a.

have gone vague again. They had

taken the boat out for half an [hour's sail and were waiting now, l after almost two hours of calm. for enough wind to make the short quarter mile to the pier.

“You see-that's the trouble, Page." Lynn said, in an anxious,

meant by things that frighten you. I didn't mean robbers, or ghosts. ‘Bub-but, not knowing whether you said a thing or didn't say it; don't you think that's frightening?"

He ended on the note she nltnost ‘dreaded tohenr in his voice, a note of timid pleading. a child's enrrcaty for sympathy and under- standing.

"But every one does that, Lynn!" the girl exclaimed hearteningly. “That's nothing to feel frightened about."

Men Who Marry Do So For Companionship, Love, a Home and Tender Care - When This is Gone Their Hearts Fly Out thc Window

One of the popular fallaclees concerning marriage is that mama-SQ goes sour on women before it does on men; that husbands tire of their wives before their wives do of them. Both sexes hold RUBIN-Sly to this belief, but women are especially committed to it, so we are confronted with the iPecl-B-vle of multitudes of women who toil like coal heavers to hold their husband's affections while never a husband lifts a. ﬁnger to k961i his wife's. Mon Bbnerally feel thﬂt they couldn't lose their wives if they tried.

But after having observed the comlllﬂ and the goings-and particularly the 8011185- of husbands through many years I am con- vinced that this theory is all wet, that it is the wives who tire ﬁrst and that. very few

' husbands ever lose interest in their Wives until after their wives haveflost. interest. in them.

0f course, it is unsafe to generalize about nmrriaxe because it is B game in which the unexpected always happens and where there are a. bil- lion exceptions to every rule. Also, of course, each individual case of 8 disillusioned husband or wife rests on its own merits and is a matter OI temper and temperament, personality and the way God made ‘em.

Still and all, and taking all of these things into consideration, there are many facts to back up the contention that there are more bored Wives than there are bored husbands. It is only, as a general thing, after the wife is so fed up with her husband that she no longer takes the "Ollble to try and please him that he begins to suspect that she isn't his dreﬂm girl, anyway.

In proof whereof consider these points: ‘That the fmnlnine sex is the ﬁckle sex. Whereas men like the things to which they are hﬂbitllﬂlﬁd women forever prefer something different. Men like to eat the same food every day, to wear their old clothes. Women crave constant change. Women are pernickity, they are more easily offended than are men by little faults, such as carelessness in dress or manners or little , l habits. Above all, women are incurable optimists who expect romance to survive the wear and tear of everyday life. They emect the practical business men they marry to continue to be impassioned lovers and so they are-disappointed when they find that heir husbands are merely good pro- viders instead of Fairy Princes.

In the average marriage in which the matrimonial batting 15 about 50-50—you will find the husband is oftcner satisﬁed than the wife. It's the wives who are beating upon their breasts and wailing out. that they are all soul, while their husbands are all clod; that life is cindcrs, ashes and dust because they are united to men who no longer thrill them, and who get divorces from perfectly good husbands because they can't stand the way they eat their eggs at breakfast. But most men take malflage in their stride, and as long as their wives are reasonably pleasant to live with and fairly good housekeepers, they are content.

Virtually every man who marries is deeply in lova when he does so. Otherwise he would not voluntarily give up his freedom and assume a woman's board bill and stiopping ticket for life. Nine times out of ten he stays in love with his wife just as long as she takes the trouble to keep him enamored of her. It's when the wife gets tired of ﬁshing and her catch ceases to look good to her and she throws away her bait, that her poor ﬁsh wiggles off the hook.

Every ivomaxi knows the tactics she used in catching her husband. She made herself as easy on the eyes as possible. She was sweet. and amiable. She ﬂutered hQm openly or subtly, she nude 111m feel that she considered him God's gift to womanhood. She listened unwearily while he discourscd about his business, his hobbies, his college days and asked for more. Above all, she W85 tender, sympathetic, loving,

give them the glad hand, to get interests, to get some one who would up with the ointment of Praise the men marry for. As long as a. wife the affection and appreciation he does he wander off after strange

Hence, I say that when a husband tires of his wife it's nearly always because she has tired of him ﬁrst. Dogargy 91x
