Practical Joker

Prankster Husband's Tricks Unbearable To Wife Lacking Sense 0f Humor

DEAR MISS DIX!

I am married to a man whom I love more

than anything and who loves me as much as I do him. but we are

about to part because of our difference in personalities.

We have tried

hard to get along together as we have three adorable children, but we

are nhvdys on each others nerves.

Our difficulty is my eternal sincerity and his eternal joking. which is driving us both crazy. He is mad about pretend-

ing that he isn't going to do something and

then

when I finally lose my temper. he says he was just

kidding.

after I have had to argue about it and have

I get no enjoyment out of doing a thing

ROMANTIC COURTSIIIP

The only explanation f can find for it is that during the days of courtship the prankster was so filled. with romance that he forgot to be humorous. and that the pretty girl was so bemused by her love dream that she believed all of her fiance's wild vows oi devotion to be a mere statement of how he felt towards her. Susceptible to proof.

if need be.

Certainly no two people could be less adjusted to each other than

a perpetual Josher an

a woman without s. funnybone.

They newer

understand each other, or speak the same language, or get the other's point of view. and life is a very boring affair in a case where the hus- band has to furnish a diagram with his wittlcisms and the vsife is so cit-tint‘; she can never be made to see what makes people laugh.

But, aitcr all, it seems a. great pity to break up a marriage and halflcrphan little children over a comic strip. so why not eliminate the humor motif from the marriage? My suggestion would be for the husband to save his jokes for the boys downtown, not use them for home consumption. and for the vrife just to stick to the basic affairs

0f life.

DEAF. MISS DIX:

I have attended a number of luncheons and

dinner parties wherewthe hostess did not sit down with the guests. she not only spent the entire meal period serving them. but even washed

the dishes afterwards.

Don't you think it would be possible to plan

a menu which required a. minimum o-f serving and which would per- mit the hostess to eat with her guests? I have been to parties where neither the hostess nor host ate with their guests.

What is you: opinion?

A READER.

I never before have heard of a

nostess not sitting at the table with her guests and eating with them.

and I should think it would be very embarrassing to all concerned‘

if she did not. Surely the guests must feel very awkward and as if they were not wanted and that their hostess was merely paying off s _debt that she would be glad to get off of her mind.

SUIVHVIER MAGIC

Like lovely ladies of the long ago.

The hollyhocks stand up in stately TOWS.

Tall and soda/to in gorgeous dresl they show,

And bow and curtsy with each breeze that blows.

The bees sip nectar from each jew- elled cup.

All fragrant blossoms hold I. honey drop.

From every side come busy bees tn

sup. And butterflies in passage pause and stop,

"the treetops whisper u they proudly stand.

The garden rests and bird calls softly swell;

Deep summer brooding over ell the land

.Holds each thing far and wide within its spell.

LUCILE ELY CONKLING.

THE BETTER THING

There is a love that greets e bidden friend With welcome smile, a hand-shake firm and strong; A table richly spread-there is no end Of hospitality and time for song. And it. is good that I should always be

Clothed with this love for friends who visit me.

There is a love that reaches out e hand

And spreads e table rich within it: door

For one who come e eta-anger to thislend.

Bearing in his soul the scourge of

war; And for this better thing. deer Lord I pray- Clothe me with love to touch taut soul today. —By Margaret Bloom tn Toronto star.

I imagine I can hear it again. As I did so many times today - a screen-door opening as quietly as it it were the old Tabby cat that was entering, she being the only one of our furry friends who has unravelled the secret of it, and a childish voice speaking, "saymg, fplease’ right now for a cooklz, Nanna!" or “I'm coming in this minute to see you!" Bu; 1 know that the evening has already cal- led grand-daughter indoors to the house across the lane and that here all is still. We three. she and her mother and I have spent .. strange quiet day, without any sight or sound of the haying, ex» cept now that it comes to mind when we gathered the cows from the pasture at sunset we could hear the far-away echo of a machine. where in the distance some farmer was busy at the mowing. We did tear the clatter of the hay-wagon "out only briefly as the team car- ried the workers oii to Rob's this morning.

James looked back. He, as usual had something on his mln_d "Sup- posing we need a hand at the raking, Ellen. could you come?" l nodded. A sunny afternoon in a hay-field has a nice way of linger- ing in ones memory. Long after the season has passed. one W14: find pleasant recollections of it, though one may not. know exactly why they rerrmin. 1t may be tnat they conjure up pest haying-s- bringing back tc mind old scenes. whlch in perspective are deliglittttl though enhanced, one knows, ny the years’ flight. For certain the best days. or those to be most enjoyed are those at. hand-this day. this hour, this minute, we must not waste, though we cling to it vainly.

An article along this line cf thought. from Dale Carnegieb book ‘How to Stop Worrying and Start Living" in the current issue of I‘!.e Reader's Digest is interesting and helpful for those who would en- deavour to take the best. out ui iiie. Quoting: “We are all standing this very second at the meeting place of two enternities of the past and the future. We can't possibly live in either of those eternitics, even for one split second; but by trying to do so, we can wreck both our bodies and our minds. So let's be content to live the only time w: can possibly live: from now until bedtime. ‘Anyone can carry his bu:- den. however hard until nightfad’ wrote Robert Louis Stevenson. ‘Any-- one can do his work however hard. for one day. Anyone can live sweetly. patiently, lovingly, purely. till the sun goes down. And this is what life really means.“

Continuing: "‘l-iow strange it is, our little procession of lliei’ wrote Stephen feacock. ‘The child says.‘ ‘When I am n. big boy‘ But what ls that? The big boy says ‘When I g:ow up‘. And then, grown-up, l2: says. ‘When I get married’. But to be married, what is that after all? The thought changes to ‘Wnen 1'm able to retire’. And then when retirement comes. he looks back over the landscape traverse; ;a cold wind seems to sweep over it; nome- how he has missed it all, and it is gone. Life we learn too late is in the living, in the tissue of every "day and hour.’ "

It is often to be found best in slilDl-YIB the sweets from our every- day round. in being able to ap- preciate the delights — and con- cerns of it, not in mourning over ics-t opportunities or 1n trusting over-much to the Juture. or u’. vain wishes for "greener fields" which ever lie near at hand.

There was no summons to any cf the women-kind to come to hi8 raying at Rob's and at..Al.-.ierlea life continued to flow callnly and serenely. Indeed in the air of quiet prevailing. without creek of wagon or sound of horses’ feet, one might suppose that yesterday's Sabbath had continued into today. on this farm of ours. But most pleasant it has been. Swallows, on busy wings cruised about the yardsfl saw a flesh of blue in the old bircn and in the ivy that clings to a ver- ondah, a sparrow chatted to me. Yes. it has been pleasant though quietedny of books... and sunshine; of cool shadows . . . 14.‘! a wee sun-bonnettcd maid. And now against a young moon's dusk, the workers returning from then day at the haying.

ACCORDING to the exceptional nature of lunar aspects. it is pzob- able that the energies. nervous ten- slon and initiative will be pitched to high initiative and creative cf- fotrt. Wihile the swift grasp of op- portunities is encouraged there is an indication of a proclivity to plunge. rush into new and untzied fields without discretion or reserva. tion. Originality, innovation, pres- sure toward the unique or strange may urge to haztcdous or extrav— agent crises. Shun all forms of er- ratic of extravagant expression and the results might bring about dramatic and lucrative culmina- tions.

'I‘hose whose birthday it is. may feel their spirit of initiative, en- terprise, grasp of new and original ideas and objectives pitched to dangerous heights of speculation. prodigality and extravagance.

RMEUMATISM IS PAINFUL AND COSTLY

Although rheumatism is the old- est disease known to men there are. and always have been. millions of sufferers from this crippling ailment. Perhaps it is because it does not kill immediately or even over a. length of time that many look on it as something sent to man which he must accept, just as he has to accept the weather.

In a recent article it was shown that, by investigation as to the cause and treatment of rheumatism about one-half of rheumatic pat- lents were cured and 15 per cent were improved. As zheumatism causes more illness andmore ab‘- senteeism than any other ailment. it stands first as a cause of chronic illness.

In "Annals of Medicine," Dr. B. S. Hench, in a description of “The Campaign Against Rheumatism.’ states that in every country in which there was a suLvey the srme findings were made: (l) Rheumatic diseases outranked all others as a cause of chronic illness; t2) rheu. matic diseases annually involve each country in great expense; (3) adequate facilities for the care of most rheumatic patients are non- existent. In the United States. as eisewhem, the total army of rheu- matic victL-ns is relatively neg- lected.

The figures show that other dis- eases are given much more consid- eration everywhere and certainly prove that we are not fully aware of how much suffering and loss of time is caused by rheumatism. For example, for 680,000 tuberculous patients in the United States there are available about 100,000 free beds. and $100,000,000 for care and research. but for the 6.850.000 rheumatic patients there are avail- able only about 200 free beds and $200,0000 for care and research. Thus, though there are 1O times as many rheumatic patients as tuberculous patients. the latter have 500 times more beds and money.

Naturally our hearts g0 out more to patients with cancer. tubercul. osis and infantile paralysis. but sufferers with rheumatism suffer much pain and lose much time from work and more should be done for them.
