l How to Make a Contrary Man Do Your Way. Strong Measures Needed to Quell Quar- reling Wife and Mother Who Make lilan’s Life Miserable

Dear Miss Dir-I am married to the most stubborn, contrary man on earth. How can you get along with a husband with that kind o!

disposition?

I have tried gentleness, patience, fighting, being mean my- self, but nothing does any good, so I send out an SOS to you. v

PATIENT GHIBELDApInd.

Answeri

0f course, one would like to say that the best way to treat a. contrary man is to bat him over the head with a cofiee pot, but unfortunately women lack the physical strength to enforce such an argument against contrariness. Besides which our efiete civilization discourages such wholesome means of family discipline.

All that is left, then, for the woman who is married to a man with a mulishvdisposition is to treat him as she would any other donkey who hasn't sense enough to do what is right and proper because it is right and proper, but who has to be cajoled along the way he should go.

Begin by letting the silly ass think that he has" suggested everything that you want to do. If you want to have the parlor papered in green instead oi purple, don't rashly say that you are going to have green or your donkej: will put his foot down and declare for purple. On the con- trary, gently and insidlously suggest the idea. oi gicen paper and when you perceive that the time is right, ask him what color he would prefer to have the parlor papered and he will say green and berate you for not" having thought of it yourself before.

In the next place, remember that the law of controrincss always works backward, so that you can work a mulish husband by it. Never abow that you are keen Ito do anything or go any place that you have set your heart on, but affect a supreme indifference to it.

If you havedctermined on spending the summer at the shore, send off and get a lot of advertisements of mountain resorts. Mr. Mule wlll lznniedlately be filled with a mad enthusiast for the sea and refuse to consider anything else, and Lo the seashore you will go, just to show who is boss in the family.

Avoid all arguments as you would the pestilence. An argument with a. contrary man is like a. mordant‘ that hets a dye and make it indelible. If he says black is white, let it go at that and he may forget what opinion he expressed and recognize white for the color it is. But lf he once commits himself that black is white, he will stick to it to the end oi time.

A wise man changes his opinion with the diilerent light that he gets on the subject, but a donkey, having no mind to change, can't possibly alter it. Therefore, no matter how circumstances alter or how big a fool view hemny take in the first Iiluce, he feels that he must be what he calls consisicnt and stick to it.

Of course, the less sense a man has the more amenable to flattery he is and the easier he is to work, so there is nothing for the woman who is married to a contrary man to do but to get busy with the salvo and plas- ter him over daily with fulsome compliments.

1i she tells him how big and wise and strong and wonderful he is and how she defers to his judgment in every particular, he. wlll eat out o! her hand and she may do with him as she wlll. Some women can do this seine can't. Some do not think it worth while and, as a. matter of fact, it isnm worth any scnsiblo woman's trouble to humor such childish weak- ness, for such a. man makes her very, very tired. DOROTHY DIX.

I I I l O 0

Dear Miss Dix-I am a young man with a wife and three small children whom I love dearly, as I do also my father and mother who live in the same town that I do. My trouble is that my mother and wife (Zklllllill. got along together. Both are high-tcmplcred and sensitive, es- pecially zoward each other. They arc always getting their feelings hurt and coming to me with their tales against each other and wanting me to take sides. This makes me perfectly miserable. What shall I do? Shall I lIlVB up the good practice I have and go to some other town? Can you olle-r any silggesliun to a MAN IN TROUBLE.

Aziswer:

The strangest thing in the world is that the two women who loves man most in the world are Willing to make every sacrifice on earth to him eigoept to sacrifice their jealousy of each other.

When a. man's wife and his mother fight over him like dogs over a bone, they never seem to realize that he is the sufferer, and that they are literally tearing him to pieces between them and devouring his happi- ness. There is no other such exhibition oi feminine selfishness.

Yct the very mother who is willing to wrcck her son's home, divorce him iron: his wiic and tear his child out oi his arms, talks about her love for him; and the wife who would separate him from the mother who bore him, prates of her devotion to him. Both of them know that when they go to him with their tales and complaints and criticisms of each other, they drive him to desperation and make him utterly wretched, yet neither me is willing to forego the pleasure oi’ indulging her own spleen to secure his peace and happiness. Self-centered, hide-bound egctlsm can go no further.

When a. mother-in-law and daughter-ln-law who dislike each other are compelled to live in the same house, it is understandable that they would get unendurably on each others nerves. But any town or city is big enough to hold even enemies and any two women, no matter how discordant, should certainly be ladies enough and have enough knowl- edge of the world to be able to preserve an outward appearance of har- mony when they are occasionally thrown together. ‘Iheieiore, I should

Dear Dorothy Dix-Don't you think parents who have sacrificed everything for their children have a right to a say-so about whom their sons and daughters marry. The parents happiness and well being are involved as well as the children's. FATHER.

Answer:

Because parents have reared their children well and have given them good clothes, good food, a. good education and a good start in life, does not give them any right to pick out their children's husbands and their wives for them. They have done nothing more than their duty in their children. They thrust life upon themgand they were under every ob- ligation to do everything in their power to make that life worth having.

On tho other hand, having had tender and loving and generous par- ent, it is a debt of honor for the children to repay the kindness they have received and the sacrifices that have been made for them by meet- ing their mothers’ and their fathers‘ wishes as far as they can and by not bllghtlng the hopes and wounding the hearts of those who have loved and cherished them all their lives, if they can possibly avoid doing so.

But, lathe last analysis, marriage is the most personal thing on earth and the one thing in which no human being can judge for another.

Tho‘ years have cilanged both you and me, Each scene looks just the same. But younger feet now climb the hill, 0r tread the vale below, And paddle in the stream. Bill Where we played long ago.

ans ought to be taught some man- ners.

Bo the next time Mr. Buehlcr came near the cage. Gabong shot his hairy arm through the bars and divested the junior keep of his trou- sers in one deft stroke.

After that Mr. Buehler kept pretty

much away from the cage, but Ga-

bong still wasn't satisfied.

At this point his two cage mates

entered the story, as Dr. Ditmars related it. Dyak was strong, and

Donang was shrewd. Together they

decided that some mode of egress could be arranged so that Gabong

could go out in search of the junior

keeper.

Dohong turned his cunning eyes

upon the skylight over the cage.

Finally Dohong pointed out to Dyak

that by a process of rocking and

jiggling the screws in the frame-

work oould be loosened.

Dyak rocked and jiggled, the

screws dropped to the floor of the

cage and so did the entire frame-

work.

"We wers afraid," said Dr. Dit-

mars, "that one of the orange-out-

ans might have been hurt in the

crash. But they showed no signs or

injury. Bo the senior keeper had

the framework mfastened with

four-inch square-hem screws."

The new arrangement merely

challenged the ingenuity oi Do-

But again Gabong's departure from the cage on a mission of vengeance was delayed. The screws were replaced by six- inch spikes, driven deep by members of a husky repair crew, and Mr. Buehler breather easily again-un- til today, when the third attempt was made. Dyak, under the skllful guidance of hismentor, succeeded in pulling out one of the spikes and, using this as a jimmy. broke open the door. But luckily for Mr. Buehler a chain had been placed outside the door and it wouldn't open more than a few inches. Once more Ga- bong went back to his corner and sulked: while the powerful Dyak looked at Dohong questloningly. At a iabe hour tonight that wor-
