Blind Love

Instinct Not Reason, Rules Affection:

DEAR MISS DIX: Do you think that love blinds one to the faults if another? A DAILY READER

ANSWER: In my opinion. so far as love between man and woman is loncerned, it is entirely a matter of sex attraction and neither eyesight nor judgment plays any part iii it whatever. We love or we hate by instinct. 1t is a matter of the heart, not of the head.

A woman may sbe in a man every admirable quality and yet her vision of his imperfection does not make her love him. A man may perceive a woman to be the. incarnation of all the feminine virtues, yet this abstract knowledge does not quicken his pulse nor send one thrill through his veins.

On the contrary, a woman may observe with perfect l? clearness every defect a man has and love him none the

- less for them. A man may give his soul for the woman in whom he recognizes a thousand faults. It is part of the blindness of love that it does not require perfection of its object.

Not every adoring husband thinks his plain Maria a living picture, nor does his affection enable him to look into her mind and sea an in- lelligence that the general public does not. sec and that, in reality, is not true. He sees her just ordinary and commonplace as she is, but he loves her just the same.

LOVE THEM FOB FAULTS

If most of us would canvas the list of those we love best we would End that we convicted them of a thousand defects and weaknesses. In- Ieed, we do not love people for their pcrfectioiis, but for their faults. The place, however, where love is not only blind, but has pads over its iyes, ls in parental love. Mcn and women love each other in spite of lheir faults, but parents perceive no faults.

Blessed be love, for it enables us to be blind or farsighted at will.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: My wife and I were married when we were OUYIK find POOL “'9 “Wrkcd together very hard and saved our money. ow we have arrived, so to speak, and I would like to enjoy life. 1

would like to travel a bit and entertain in my home, but my wife is tot. willing to spend a penny. She is a perfect tlghtwad.

Is there any way that I can get her to loosen her grip on our

honey? \Ve have plenty and we have no children to leave it to. ‘ THE HUSBAND OF A PENNY-PINCHER

ANSWER: Women run lo extremes, and when they are stingy thev are incredibly tight-fisted. They got a perfect mania for saving. The highest joy that existence offers them is tiie entry in their bankbook. and to see this get bigger and bigger they are willing to sacrifice them- ‘elves and their families.

Evidently your ivife belongs to this group of feminine tight-wads, ""1 ii"! MP9 0f 6Y9!‘ Piiimglng her is slight, because spending has be- come painful to her. Perhaps if you will make your wifc- understand that you are determined to get. some enjoyment out of your money by "Bveiiflll and entertaining. and tell her that she must either keep up with you or be left behind, she will loosen her grip on her pocketbook

Possibly she may love you more than she does money, but I doubt i lit, for the passion of the mlser for his hoard transcends all human af- ections.

‘THE TREATMENT 0F THOSE WHO ABE ALWAYS TENS! Many older physicians are becom-

ing slimmed at the great amount of “sedaiive" medicine; now being prescribed by present-day practi- tioners. In their early days of prac- tice a sedative or "quieting" drug was used only on rare occaslom, most frequently when an indivi- dual was suffering great grief through the death of a loved one.

As a. matter of fact, the physic- lan of today is faced with condi- tions in which the patient is so rest- less. so excitable and gets such a small aunou-nt of sleep at night that. if his general health is to be main- tained he “must" obtain more rest.

The physician believes that lad of rest does more harm to the body and brain than does the quicting drug.

This tense, restless condition is more commonjoday than ever b!- fore, which is easily undflrstood as we think of two vrars in one gener- ation and the exciting and uncer- tain times in which we live.

flhere are scme individuals like

Joe Louis, the boxing champion, Lou Scnoles, the Diamond Sculls winner of years ago, and the light- weight champion boxer of whom I read recently, who actually were sound asleep when the time ap- proached for their event to take place. Most; of us. under these cir- cumstances, would be too excitfid to be asleep, no matter how much we needed rest,

What. about treatment. for these always tense individuals who act much like patients with an overact- ive thyroid gland (goiter), with rapid heart beat, increased blood pressure and inability to keep calm in mind and body‘!

In "Rocky Mountain Medical Journal," Dr. T. M. Rogers, Sterling. Colorado, states that since his re- turn from the South Pacific, where lie noted that those individuals who could rest. a-nd sleep dluiriirig tense periods had fewest neurotic (ner- vous) symptoms, he has been treat- ing tension states as part of his general practice. Hi5 treatment con- sists of placing the patient in ii hospital for a time, Those patients who are uncontrollable, confused or unduly depressed are given a strong drug into the veins; tliose with less severe sytnptclms are given a fairly strong drug by mouth, and then small injections of insulin and smaller doses of the quietiing druS-‘i at. night.

While most of us dislike the idea of entering a hospital and taking drugs to quiet our nerves, nerve specialists are finding that in these severe tension states this trfiatmeni brings best results.

Besides stamping a woman as looking unkempt, a set of frayed and patcliily-polished nails always seem to have a depressing effect upon her morale. The minute she can cast an appreciative glance over

impeccably gleaming nails, her morale begins to go up like the graph of a sales chart during a

peak season.

Keeping nails looking impeccable is very little trouble if a woman gives her manicure a daily inspec- tion and a bit of renewing care. In that routine of care, cuticles should be given a push every time hands are toweled dry. This will keep polished ovals free of the over- growth that ls constantly trying to close in on nails,

Mother's liay To la Gel

Ellen 's Diary

By an Inland Farmer's Wife

Winter came back to Alderlea and the surrounding countryside over the week-end, hiding froltily Springs lovely promise-the faint green of the meadows and in the prevailing coldness, silencing the bird-song. A bit desolate we found it, though recalling, even as the glass dropped to freezing. glvlnit James some concern about our "seeds", that each day in turn brings the seedtime nearer. BY lantern-light, James comes in now from a last round at the barns to offer, "This is another cold one!" to Mr. C. from the house on the hill, commencing to make plans for the mill-sawing, "once this cold snap is over." "You know," James hangs up jacket and cap to say. “after the mild weather we've had. it's pretty trying for the young stock to get used to this. ou'd be surprised how the difference in temperature affects them — especi- ally the little pigs. They lust Won't settle down comfortably. We hope it soon turns warmer. What did the weatherman say of it, Ellen?" But that is a difficult question to answer, since in the insistence nf our duties this evening, the radio has been forgotten.

I I O

James, himself has been much too busy today to listen to forecasts. but has had to satisfy himself by taking stock of the rippling waves on the pond, no mean token of things to come. I-le has been the foreman of a small crew of helpers today, sometimes revealed to him only, we suspect, in the whisk of a skirt disappearing around a corner. It is better, if one has engaging in- terests of her own, or is inclined tn lndolence, not to show herself about the yard, when James single-handed runs the place.

O O O

He would be sure to find a chore to fit: her, perhaps to "fetch over that pail" or these days to “drive those confounded turkeys away from here-can't you see that they're keeping the cattle" or it may be "the horses from drink- ing?" At tubs in the barnyard the stock now drink, the water pump- ed to mirroring levels by the en- gine, which during the Winter had proved its worth to the farmers, in pumping refreshment to the various plggerles, In fair weather the horses and cattle drank down at the stream, a practice cut short of late, because neither one of their keep- crs could suffer “that: field" which lies between buildings and stream to be marred by the traffic of hoofs.

e But grand-daughter continued to be his faithful and interested help- er in her waking hours, and in the younger farmer's absence in the city, the tw_o kept all in good order. And througiiout, certain rules were stressed. For instance when I cal- led to Jeanie on her doorstep that “Mrs. S. has had her baby!" and the wind carried the sound of my voice loudly to James, he at: once reminded me of an over-sight. "What do you want to be shout- ing for—do you want to get that last sow fussing again? Dear knows I had trouble enough as it was in getting her to lie down and be con- tent with her pigs. Hear you? She can hear the least sound in the yard!" And when a blithe retinue of liens followed expectantly onto a barn-floor when we came there for their supper-grain, James tucking hay into mangers observed he “didn't know what in the name of time, we persisted in keeping such things around. Just look at that one in among the grain. Get them out of here, Ellen, as quick as you can before they ruin everything with their scratching!" Though he is not at all allergic to an omelette, or a dalsied egg as a fitting com- plement to a piece of ham, or in- deed eggs served in any way a cook

may care to fix them! O O O

And now looking back along the hours we know that we have had a lovely day. We had company at dinner and supper: a small bright- eyed maid and her mother who had been left to fend for themselves rather desolately today in the house across the lane. Cool, yet sunny

THE LITTLE HEAD LOOK

Tiny head-hugging hats are Spring 1949! They may be cloches, berets, bonnets or sailors, but they hug the head, oh, so tightly. With the new sculptured hair styles, with their neat and sleek lines-a tiny bat is a necessity.

Prints this year are more excit- ing than many a year. Conversa- tion prints involve fascinating scenes, figuring, witty motifs like masks, keys, flames, film scrolls. Chintzy prints are animated with great spaced flowers, little tie- prints resemble classic etchings. It's the season for many prints in one wardrobe.

RAIN COATS OF WOVEN COTTON

New York—-Everybody who owns one knows the satisfaction of wrinkle-resistant cotton, and one of the important ralncoats of the sea- son ls made of woven cotton, wa- ter repellent. wrinkle-proof and sanforlzed. This comes in a small plaid in several colors, and has a sort of added underskirt at the back of the coat with a five-button fly effect, the plaid used diagonally to set it off. A front yoke, shoe- string belt, and detachable hood complete this raincoat.
