a Well-off Wlfe Of Overworlted Spouse I Con‘! Expect To Be Beoued Nlghfs

myi . DEAR. MISS DIX: I am married to a man who never in our 21 years of married life has let me want for anything." I love him and he loves me. But here is the fly in the ointment: He never wants to take me stepping of nights. His business keeps him outdoors. He gets up at five o'clock in the morning. comes home at night. eats one of my good’ dinners, watches the tele- vision \vhiie I do the dishes, and then goes to sleep. That is his only fault.

Now I want to go out in the evenings to visit our friends. or go to places nf amusement; but he only wants to go to.slecp. He tells me to go out during the day and amuse myself, but that isn't what I want. I want him to beau me around as other husbands do

lhelr wivcs. Don't you tltlnk that I am entitled to some more diversion than Qt being a cook and a baby-litter‘! t ‘\ LONESOME MARY ANSWER: Alas. liiary. we can't have our cake and eat it, too, and there come times in life when all of us have to decide between two .‘things that we crave. We can't have both. And this happens oftener in marriage than it dges anywhere else. Indeed, the greatest drawback 1o marriage is that husbands can't be piayhoys and money-grubbers at thc same limo, and that no woman can be glamorous when she is wrestling with a teething baby.

a

COMMON GRIPE

This limitation on human activities is one of the common gripes of women and explains why so many marriages that started off with every prospect of happiness cnd so often in the divorce court. Take your case as an illustration of this, Mary. You have a fine husband who works litmsolf to the bonc to provide you with luxuries, but it isn't enough ‘that he givcs you mink coats and diamonds. You want the poor tired man, who is ready to drop with fatigue. to put on his glad rags and itake you forth to dance and have a good time.

It is a common complaint among wives that their husbands don't ltake them out to places of amusement of evenings. or that their hus- bands don't. .ialk at home. or that their husbands go to sleep in their chairs after dinner, which the wives attribute to neglect, but which [cally is physical exhaustion. But not once in a coon's age do you ever [tear of a wife saying to her husband : “Let's live simpler so you won't have to work so hard. and will have time to relax."

Think it over and maybe you will see why your husband doesn't bvant to go gadding at night.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: I am an orchestra leader in a band of the ltype that plays for weddings, and I am more and more impressed by lthe cruel folly of the custom that makes people who can't afford it give ithelr daughters show weddings that practically bankxupts them, for it generally means digging in the reserve that has been laid away for later years and that represents the struggle of half a lifetime.

ll. makes me \vonder why the parents of both bride and groom do

ct divide the expenses equally, or else have the bills for the wedding Enid out of the money that la usually given the bridal couple. It cer- ainly would be giving Ma and Pa a break. ONLOOKER.

ANSWER: I fully agree with you that it is the height of folly for g family to impoverish itself to give a girl a swanky wedding, but I kioubt if anything on earth could make the average girl willing to forego that promenade up the church aisle in white satin and orange blossoms.

For it would be wreaking the dreams of a life. Ever since she was p baby she has planned every detail of her wedding. She knows just how long her bridal veil is going to be, hcw many ushers will attend. pxhat the bridesmaids will wear, and she would rather die, or be an old maid. than not to have all the fiummery that belongs to the occasion.

But it is awfully hard on poor Mom and Pop.

After 38 years of expermlentlng, my wife and I have evolved this code of conduct for husbands and wives: (a) Never get mad at the same time. tbi Respect the other one’: opinion. She pr he could be right. (rt If either one thinks a thing is so, that's good enough. Let it ride. (d) Don't do the things you would not sanction If someone else did them. ' R G

ANSWER: Good. I'll bet no husband and wife who follow these gules will ever get within a thousand miles of the divorce court.

B! ll I-llmd Farmer's Wlfa

It. la good after a lpell- of quiet about the place to have tho fdimers return once more to their busy round—tc see the lights agleam about the yards, and to hear the sounds which indicate that the eve- ning feeding is at hand. A ewe bleats, a lonely sound in the dark- ness; the small engine sends water to thirsty stock; there is a sound of doors being opened and closed. and Ford's sharp bark tells you that somewhere about a feeding-floor an impatient head is out of bounds. And sometimes during the choring one or another of the farmers will come in to this or the house across the lane under excuse of "will you give this pail a rinse?" or to get "a mite of hot water for the sow's drink" though we suspect it may be only to come to the warmth and comfort within. For a chill wind blows at present, and a light IIIGW sifts silently down.’ I l

The farmers have iust returned from a period of threshing at Rob's, where they were able to continue it in the face of the snowfall, doing very well at it James said. when just past twilight brought the two home. They came suddenly into the silence, and then it is, when the sleigh comes alonl! the driveway and grindswo a stop in the yard and a familiar footfali is on a step, one realizes that above all else, even above her sewing or knitting, above radio program or newspaper or book, that is the one sound for which she has been wait- ing. especialiyfince. night-fail.

James always enters briskly. im- portant in the fact that invariably it is the men who must work. though he stops briefly to speak of the happenings of the interval. l-ie tells of the respective activities of his grand-sons; how they beamed a welcome to him when he came in to supper. and chairs had to be drawn close to his; thbt Jamie had fortunately caught a ride home from school on a passing farm- sleigh, and was met at lane's end by the black Mutt-dog, whom James describes as "an extremely useless animal" but knowing and much loved by both of the lads; that the threshing gear functioned well. though "you never know how lcntl that will continue" and there is apt toebe some comment on other things as well: There is usually. to James’ mind an ox or a calf that could do with a little extra atten- tion, and there is bound to be a pig too thin or too fat. as he nar- rates his findings on these. o o

Over the recent tveek-end. we at Alderlea were presented with the first litter of ours. There have been months in the interval, and those that once snuggled to a warm bosom, will presently, to the last one, be on the way to market. These new ones came in the early silence of the new day which was Sunday when every farm-house in the neighborhood was asleep, cud- dled down warmly amid dark trees

and snowy surroundings. No light shone anywhere, even the skies were dim and starless. But a re-

markable family came to us, nine in all, born in warm quarters and beyond a visit in two lined baskets to two rather expert dentists, when scarcely an hour old. required little extra care. Our knowledge of the imminent happenings came as we were about to complete our week's work, and were preparing to re- tire. " O O An attendant came indoors at n leisurely pace to observe: "I haven't a doubt but that we'll be up all night-cook us up something good. won't you?" “Something good . . . I inquired waiting for a suggestion. "A slice or two of ham and some eggs-or perhaps that will be too much trouble?" So in this old kitchen, of all per- haps Island-over at the time. a sub- stantial, early morning meal went to fortify the two farmers who went presently to an "overtime" but to them satisfying end of farm care. before they tod‘ with contented minds could reach their delayed

OF

When we think about dizziness— vertigo-we consider that an ear condition ls to blame because the balancing equipment of the body is situated in the balancing canals in the ear. These canals contaln a fluid. lust as mercury is the fluid used in balancing or measurement instruments used in industry. Another causes for dizzines is when the liver is having difficulty of some kind, probably failing to remove poisons from the blood b:- cause. in addition to the dizziness. there is nausea and vomiting which condition we still call lrillousness.

In a general way-but. not ai- ways-where the dizziness makes objects move round and round. it is blamed on ear conditions If 01119015 g0 up and down. bhe liver is at fault. However, Dr. A. C. Furstenberg. Ann Arbor. Michkan. in “Annals of Ear. Nose and Throat." gives the following causes, which are the conclusions of spec- iaiists:

1. Vertigo may be a symptom of some toxic (poison in blood) dis- order because l~t occurs in patients wlith this. condition, and after the use of certain drugs such as quinine and recently of streptomycin.

2. Vertigo may be one of the manifestations of a nervous de- Dression. And Dr. Ffiirslmberg warns his fellow specialists not. to promise loo much from treatment, because treatment. to cure dizziness sometimes fails and the pollen-Us depression becomes deeper. The patient should be told tthat treat- ment or an ear condition helps many cases. but sometimes falls to do so.

Vertigo occasionally tom of high blood pressure. and the prospect for relief ls favorable through cuttingeertain nerves com- ing frcrn the spinal cord.

Another cause. but fortunately a central nervous system - brain and rare one. 1s a disturbance oftihe spinal cord-such as a growth or tumor. .

In some oases, vertigo ls the re- sult of a disturbance in the accous- tic or hearing nerve. which carried sound" from the esr to the brain.

when dizziness occurs, consult your family physician first: he may locate the cause. If ind. he likely

as ear disturbances are the oom- moncst; cause of dizziness.

(By Uncle loo) T!!! TAITOOED ABM

Many years ago, in the woods near Forest Hills lived a half-wit recluse by the name of Sandy Brown.

But Sandy had not always been the bachelor hermit that I, intro- duce to you in the foregoing para- graph. When a young fellow he had followed the sea; and. like rnost mariners. he bore the marks of the tattoo needle. t

Some sailors prefer ships, anch- ors. flags, while others have a flair for beautiful women tattooed on their backs. chests or arms. Brown. for reasons known only to himself. had his left arm tattooed in this manner: the picture of o pine tree with his name and place of

birt underneath. No mortal ever carrl d about a surer means of identification.

Few persons visited Sandy's lone- lyshack for the simple reason that he had chosen to "build it off the beaten trail. But Sandy. being a great prcwler. was well known by every settler in the district.

Bear hunting was the fellow's chief hobby, and those who had seen the inside of his cabin vowed that no fewer than one hundred bearsklns covered its floors and hung from its weather-beaten walls. nil stripped from the animals by Sandy's own hand. The hobby kept him occupied, the skins helped to keep him warm during the long. cold winers. and their flesh al- ways provided thc recluse with fresh meat when he wasn't being dined among the friendly and hos- pitable settlers.

O

"You've killed and eaten a heap of bears," remarked one of Sandy's friends one night when the two men talked beside a cozy fire. “But one of these days the bears will kill you and have you for a meal." Sandy Brown laughed at the oth- er's joke and said that. if he ever got inside a bear‘: belly. he sup- posed nobody ever would mlss hlm. anyway.

Shortly after midnight the men parted company. Sandy streaking off through the wood toward his own shack. When about a mile of the distance had been covered a blinding snow-storm swept in from the northwest. and the next morn- lng field and forest lay deep under great mounds of snow.

"We should have insisted on his staying with us last night." the settler said to his wife when they viewed the snow-swept scene next morning. "But then I never dreamt we'd have a blizzard like this. If Sandy ever made homo last night; then he's a smarter man than I thought he was." i "You'd better muster a few of our neighbors and let out after hlm." said his wife. "Perhaps it's already too late. O dear me!"_ That evening. when the storm had abated. four men from the settlement started for Sandy's shack. Upon arrival they found it empty with no signs of a fire hav- isg been lighted. Snow had drift- e in under the door and lay in a thin streak across the floor. All were satisfied that. wherever the owner might have spent the night. it certainly was ‘not at home.

Doubts and fears now gave way to anxiety lest the man be found frozen to death in the forest, a common and terrible sight in thou days.

About sundown the weary-search- ers saw a fresh bear-track and, fol- lowing lt, soon caught up with, and shot," the animal. As Bruin was dispatched only a short distance from the settlement, the carcass was skinned and the fat from the inside removed to make soap.

The stomach was full of undi- gested flesh. showing that tho ani- mal had gorged itself only recent-
