Uncontrolled Temper

Fiance Behavior In Own Home. index Of Character

DEAR MISS DIX: Can you judge a man's disposition by the way ho acts in his own home and his attitude to his mother and immedi- ate family? I am in love with a man 32 years old. l-ie is quite stub-

born and given to outbursts of temper at home, but he tries to please me.

Can a wife's influence change her husband to any degree? TROUBLED

ANSWER: You are wise to consider carefully the temperament of a man before you marry him, because the one most important factor in a wife's happiness or misery is her husband's disposition. It is that which settles the success or failure of her marriage.

You are right in thinking that the most important thing that any girl can find out about the man she contemplates marrying is what sort of disposition he has and how he reacts to domesticity, and there is no better laboratory in which to study him than in his

Own home. As a general thing. it is a pretty safe bet that a man will treat his wife as lie does his mother. There will be habit in this and it will also he the result of his father's attitude toward his mother and the ivay his mother has taught him to regard her. If his mother has made herself a doormat for him to walk on, he will wipe his feet on his wife.

But there are exceptions to this rule. Sometimes the mere fact that a woman is a man's wife, that she is his ,ossessio l, gives her a value in his eyes that makes him cherish her. Sometimes a. man never really has any unselfish affection for any human being until he falls in love with some woman.

Sometimes a man who has been callous to his mother's suffer- ings and willing for her to sacrifice to him cannot endure for his Wife to have even a pin prick. and works himself to death to save his wife from having to lift her hand.

So you can't always tell how a man will treat his wife from the wtw he treats his mother and sisters, but the odds are that the man who is chivalrous and tender and kind to his mother and sisters will be that way to his wlfa.

As for stubbornness, that is a vice or a. virtue, according to cir- cumstances. It takes a lot of stubbornness to get along in this world. It is the people who dig in and stick to a thing in the face of dis- couragements who succeed at last. It is the men with determination of character who make faithful husbands and anyway, stubbornness is a much easier fault for s wife to deal with than weakness. More- over, while you may not be able to drive a stubborn man, you can generally cajoie him into going along the path you wish him to tread.

An uncontrolled temper is about the worst fault that a husband can have, and if you marry a man who is given to indulging himself in rages you will have your heart broken many a time and have to endure many an insult, The wife has a hard lot; in life who lives in terror of doing or saying something that riles her lord and master and sends him into a. blind fury that makes her quake in her shoes and leaves her battered and bruised in spirit, if not in body.

Of course, every wife does modify her husband's disposition to s certain degree, but nothing is so overrated as woman's influence on man. All that she can do is just to push him along a little in the way he is already going. She cannot change his direction.

DOROTHY DIX

DEAR MlSS DIX: My problem is this: I have kept company with s man for seven years and, although he calls once a week, he never proposes or even mentions rwrriage. I am very much in love with him and would be very grateful if you would tell me how to make him pop the question.

' HOPEl-‘UL

ANSWIZRt‘ You certainly must be one of the world's greatest

‘optimists if you can still remain hopeful about a man who has not

reached the proposing point in seven years. Believe me, daughter, a woman has got in her work sooner than that, or she never gets it in.

Nobody can tell you how to make that kind of mfln POD U18 question because he is not in love with you and has no intention whatever of marrying you, and his coming to see you every week is no indication that his attentions have any intention. Ho probably ilikes your mother's cooking. and he finds you an interesting and aagreeabie companion, and your house is a pleasant place in which to spend an evening. But that is all. Nothing further,

Better waft such a man out into the air and center your inter- ‘pst on some man who is better husband material.

Iy an Island Farmer's Wife vibes-m.

"This has been quite a day!" Jock observes with a smile. At end of e ening choring he has come to t e door of this study- of-sorts to chat awhile before go- ing home to the house across the lane. Pleasant it is to have ones children and grand-children, their mothers as well, enjoy any time spent within these walls. Jock refers in part to an important item in our farming which hap- pened today — the fat cattle went this morning.

I I I

Their going caused a flurry of work and excitement which did not spare even the youngest mem- ber of the family. It comes to mind now that we awakened some time during the night, interrupt- ing a dream which had kept us loitering along a roadway where sunlight sifting through still bran- ches stippled it bewitchingly. Fra- grance of sweet fern and clover was there, but then to try to rc- member it now is only to be per- plexed.

How could we have been there alone on that familiar path anti at the same time laugh with Jamie and grand-daughter over the rab- bit that had hopped away in startled haste to the cool depths of the woodlands nearby? How- ever this was the dream from which we had awakened last night to hear raindrops patter- inB on the roof. It must have been much later that James tuck- ed the covers about our shoulders with: “It's cooler, Ellen-it's been raining, There'll be no haying today, so we needn't rise so ear- ly." That is how it came about that we were caught napping, when the news came that “those cattle are to go this morning!"

(‘Prompt at the signal of alarms" the rounding up began in the dampness of this morning's mea- dow, an activity joined in only by the farmers themselves and pre- sently Rob. Breakfast, chorlng and all was postponed in the in- sistence of this new chore which had suddenly arrived. And before long. a great truck moved off from the vicinity of lane's end. the scene of the loading, bearing those animals which nearing Spring and since, had been among our rnost prized possessions. "Off the grass" to market, they went leaving the pasture strangely empty. If later in a studied com- parison of weights “that roan steer weighed remarkably well" or "you'd think that that red heifer should have done better", the fat cattle went this morning, and their replacements for the next Winter's feeding browse these days in content within reach of stream and shade in a meadow at the other farm. I I

"It was lust as well this was no hay-day" we agreed, since the prevailing dampness of morning allowed the farmers to give un- divided attention to the interest- ing activlty at hand. But in the cleared afternoon, bedding-straw was hauled to the buildings here. and to Rob's, to help take rare of the Winter requirements. The act brought Pat to mind. He was wont to be the one who formerly brought the word which commenc- ed thls endeavour.

I I I

On an evening, he would come. appropriating for himself James’ old armchair. “Now would you be after wantin' any straw?" he would inquire of James through the solace of a smoke that bil- lowed between the two. “Then come an‘ haul it away. There's more there than ever we can use this year or for that matter next year either" he would chuckle, "an’ for why should a man be frettin‘ about days that's so far beysnt‘! We'll let them lie Wile" they are, now won't we?" Thus it was from the home where Pat lived for a number of years that our farmers fetched their bedding- strsw, Pard scouting happily ahead of the teams, today. I I I

There now "a wee lad" whom Pat has never seen, has come to join other sons in the family. James extremely fond o! children paid his respects to this new fei- low today and found him "quite bonny." And in connection with a secret about which grand- daughter whispers mysteriously. and with obvious anticipation, the swinging cot which in its dav rocked James and his sisters, and others of the line in succession through the years, was taken from this house this afternoon and borne to another in the neighbor- hood, and frilled in pink. “And what does that color mean?" Jamie who carhe this morning ask- ed in an aside to us. ‘That. means" grand-daughter spoke up brightly.

but “Hush!” we laughed, “sec- rota u. - n . " "Secrets!" she nodded.

THE GENERAL PRACTITIONER AND RHEUMATIC DISEASES

It has often been said that the most comfortable specialty in medi- cine. from the physicians point of view, is skin diseases; the patient never gets better, never dies, and does not call his physician at night. I-Yom this standpoint it alight be said that rheumatism could be con- sidered the next most "comfortable" speciality in medicine because it is the oldest disease known to man, patients do not usually die direct- ly from it, and it often remains with the patient for life.

However, although rheumatism stands low as a direct cause of death, it stands first on the list of diseases that cripple men and women and make life miserable. physically, mentally and financiaiigs. We learn from a physician who knows health and welfare, some- UIWZ 0f the effects of rheumatism on the people of the United States and Canada. In the “Canadian Medical Association Journal," Dr. R- G- Ritz. Chief, Civil Service Health Division, Department 0f Health and welfare, Canada. we learn the following facts: rheuma- tlsm leads the list of specified chronic diseases and the disability from it exceeds that of tubercu- losis by a ratio of 10 to 7, against that from diabetes by nearly 10 to 1. and that from cancer and tumor by 7 to 1.

A 5111"”? 0f 25000 households across Canada including 60,000 to 70.000 persons over 14 years of age, shows that, of an estimated seven mlllion days lost on account of ill- ness during the month of Novem- ber 1947. almost 1 in 4 was caused by arthritis or rheumatism. Of this number 1 in 4 thus suffering in Canada had never had any medical care or advice.

One reason that so many suffer with rheumatism and so many rc- ceive no medical advice is that rheumatism does not stand high on the list of causes of death. One of the good things that came from World War II was that so much lost time from duty was caused by rheumatism that something had to be done to lessen the loss of man power.

Now that the war is over, Dr.. ltatz makes a plea for more hos- pitals for rheumatic patients and more money fcr research workers to study rheumatism. The main thought in his plea is that research

A STRANGE upheaval or un- foreseen calamity may prove star- fling and of far-reaching cungg. qucnce. according to this day's pian-

surprlsing benefits from strange o: curious factors. Fortunately the qualities for integration, diligence and sound work are excellently for- tilled. and as well an undercurrent of lilo subtle, profound or a rare gift n1’ prnctrating the obvious by hidden spiritual faculties may be draw-n upon to protect the highest values against curious curves.

For the Birthday

Those whose birthday it is. may anticipate a strange or revolution- ary twist in the "vrheel of fortune“ which may be breath taking, sen- sational and of far-reaching influ- ence on the life and its prospects. Fortunately such curious or quix- otic adventure. or dramatic speed- ing up may find these undercur- rents of the strange and elusive offset by dependable qualities of practical judgment, diligence. pa-i tlencc and far-vision to hold ground on a firm and workable basis for enduring security and worthwhile accomplishment. Despite violent disruption or drastic upheavals there are sound fundamentals for renewed faith and rational man- agement.
