into an impersonal and impassive at- mosphere. but the Psalms reflect ovary mood. from triumphant ela- -tion to despondency._Not merely are various states of nuhd represented in various psalms, but sometimes a writer's mood changes swiftly within the compass of one short psalm. The sixth psiilm, for example, consists of l0 verses only; the first three are an fllglllShCd appeal to God; the next four are a calmer prayer; the last three cxult in joyful confidence. They snow how rapidly and com- pletely the mind can e. Sudden fluctuations of this kind are to some extent due to tempera- ment, There are always people who. in the common phrase. are either “up in the skies ondown in the dumps." ‘rhere are still more in per- iods of stress. when some uninform- ed remark of wild rumour creates exhilaration or despondency. Such iiistibiiity is bad for those who suf- fer lroiu it and for their neighbours. It ailecis their nerves and their health. v v _ _

How is this disqiuet. this readi- ness to be swayed by every wind of optimism or pessimism, to be over- come‘? The choice seems to lie be- tween two methods. One is to culti- vate inscnsitiveness. to deaden sym- pathies and to harden feelings that neither roud nor news will make much impression; by a rigid self-discipline of this kind it be- comes possible to safeguard com-

sure in almost any circumstances. ggllf was the ideal of ancient pail- lnism, and two rival schools of phil- osopliv agreed in praising serenity cf tlllS type as the best means 0f averting unhappiness. The one school eulogized that aittitude in time oi’ trial which has given it:

ix Says-

WIFE’S VALUE TO HUSBAND NOT MEASURED IN DOLLARS

She May Seem A Financial Liability But More Than Makes Up For It

Recently a bridegroom was told to pay the marrying mflglfitfflfle "What you think it's worth." The new husband handed over 25 cents. where- upon the magistrate gave him back 15 cents in change. To the casual

_ observer M; would appear that this transaction. ' marks the all-time low price for brides. but 3T- raises the very interesting question of how much a wife is really worth to her husband. 0f course, if you put it from the sentimental angle. an ever- loving wife has a price above rubies. You cannot assess in dollars and cents the devotion that never wanes, the tenderness that never fails, the loyalty that makes a. woman stand by her hus- band when all the balance of the world has turned against him, that makes her wait for him outside of the penitentiary door and. try to hide his shame even from his own eyes, the love that endures all things and forgives all things and kisses the hand that strikes her. “She stuck to me like a. dog under n. Wagon," said an old mountaineer when preaching his wife's funeral.

There is no price tag on a wife like that. But, leaving out of the dis- cussion the fact that a wife's devotion is soothing to a man's vanity and stimulating to his ego and hence a. luxury that is worth all it costs, what is n. wife's wort-h to her husband? Many men will say not even a split dime, and that getting married ls an extravagance into which a man is lured by some supersaleswoman and for which he has to pay, and pay, and. piiy as long as lie lives. FALSE IDEAS 0F LIABILITY

The theme song of these men who regard wives as liabilities instead of assets is: “When I was single my pockets did Jingle, and I wish I were single again." And when they add up their monthly bills for hats and frocks and beauty treatments and clubs and entertaining and all the other aids and perquisites to keeping a modern woman a going concern, they feel that a wife is first aid to bankruptcy and that they would be millionaires if they were only bachelors. _

Yet it is observable that until a. man marries he rarely saves any money or really gets a start in his business or profession. The reason for this is that his wife not only constitutes herself the Watch Dog of the

' Home Treasury who protects him from parasitic relatives and grafting

friends. but also she forces upon him the necessity of putting more en- orgy into his work. Having to hustle to pay an extravagant wife's bills has made many a man a go-getter who amassed a fortune.

Virtually every man desires a hcme. Few men dream of spending their lives in clubs and hotels. but a wife is as much a part of the necessary equipment of ft home as a cooking stove or a vacuum cleaner. But although running a home is a twenty-four-hour-a-day job, with no holi- days or time off, even on Saturdays and Sundays, most husbands regard it as a pleasant indoor sport in which their wives enjoy engaging and that their incessant lzrbor is just sort of a hobby. and that they are amply rewarded by being given their clothes and bciird.

REALIZES VALUE T00 LATE

It is only after a man's wife dies and he has to hire half a dozen different people to do his cooking and washing and ironing and taking care of the children that he realizes that his marriage license paid him the biggest dividends he ever got on any investment.

A wife is worth her weight in gold as an alibi. The poor bach- elor's sins of omission and commission are on his o\vn head. but the mar- ried man has a standing excuse for all his failures and blunders in his wife. If lie is a drunkard, his wife drove him to drink. If he doesn't get along in the world. it is his wife's extravagance that ruins him.

If he is a. philanderer, it is because his wife got fat or didn't under- stand him. If his children are young hoodlums. it is because their mother didn'-t bring them up properly. Surely for a man to be able to lay all of his faults and weaknesses on his wife's shoulders is a luxury that is cheap

at any price. SHOW THEY ARE USEFUL

Wives are also useful because they furnish an escape valve for their husbands’ tempers and nerves. Many a man saves his job. or keeps his clients or patients, by saying to his wife the mean things he dared not say to his boss or his clientele. In this county. at least, wives make and keep their husbands’ social positions. They act as their husbands’ press agents. They send the flowers, the telegrams of congratulations and the letters of condolence to the right people that their husbands would. never bother to do. They buy their husbands’ Christmas gifts and wedding presents. They tell all of their husbands‘ white lies for them. And gen- erally lubricate the wheels of life for them.

So, considering all of the multifarious things that a wife does for her husband, it does seem that she is worth more than a dime to him.

_ I l I O O I OIIILDLESS MARRIAGE

Door Miss Dix-My husband and I have been married nearly l! years. Our marriage has been a struggle. but it has been happy except for the disappointment that we have no children. That is such a great grief to my husband that I have decided to leave him and let him get a divorce and marry a widow we know who, has two fine children to whom he is de- voted. Don’t you think that is the best thing I could do?

MRS. J. L. M.

ANSWElb-No. I think it would be a perfectly idiotic thing for you to do. If your husband is so crazy for children, why don't you adopt some? 'I'here are thousands of poor. forlorn. orphan children who need a good home and just such loving and. good parents as you and your husband would make.

Your husband has given no evidence that he is in love with the widow or tired of vou. so why break up your happy home and go through all the mess of a divorce? You must have been reading some old-fashion- ed novel to get such a crazy notlqn in your head. Forget it and do the

sane and sensible thing. DIX.
