“Husbands and Wives Are a Matter of Taste," Observes Dorothy Dix, and Whether Mar- riagc Is a, Success or a Failure Depends on Whether or Not They Agree With

Each Other

ACCORDING to a newspaper dispatch two couples in a rural community have solved the

blem of how to be happy though married by swap- ‘ Th Afs, it seems, iivod together like the traditional Kil- Ths, .'| home life was I perpetual‘

permanent.

Till-l limo 9M7 is sordid or tragic, shocking or pathetic. as you look fill. but it very vividly illustrated one oi the vagaries of matrimony, and that is that husbands and wives are purely a. matter cf taste. and whether mam-lags is a success or failure depends not on what they are. but on whe- l..e: they agree with each other.

‘fliers are thousands upon thousands of married people who are utterly miserable themselves, and who make each other’s lives a hell on earth, who would be happy and contented, and be perfectlygood husbands and wives to some other woman and man than the ones to whom they are united. There is nothing the matter with them, intrinsically. llimlly. well-meaning people. but they just can't hit it off with the ones i0 WM"! they OX9 married. They are utterly uncongenial, unsympathetic. The)’ Hoyt!‘ understand each other, and everything each oi them docs rubs the other the wrong way.

They are decent.

W» have abundant proof that the happiness or o. marriage depends on Whether l mm and woman are temperamentally suited to each other. ra- tl.er than on their virtues, in the fact that so many second marriages , are happier than the first one was. we have all seen men who during their first wife's lifetime were surly. grouchy, stingly, ill-conditioned brutes, turn into jovial. Boed-noturod. liberal husbands» who lavished every luxury on their second wives with an open hand.

We have seen man who were roamerl. Who never went home until Every other Place was closed up under the regime of Mrs. No. l. become as domestic as the house oat under the sway of Mrs. No. 2, and we have won- dered whether it was remorse for the way they treated their first wives that caused them to be such model husbands to their second wives.

1h felllii-y. the explanation is to be found in the fact that, at last. they have gotten wives who rubbed their fur the right way instead oi the wrong way and who knew how to handle them. Gilt in the cemeteries regarded matrimonyy an a reformatory institution and felt it their sacred duty to remind their husbands continually of what, poor weak. faulty creatures they Were. for their own good. their feelings spread allover the place and were always bursting into tears. r“.- going round looking like Christian martyrs because their husbands had trampled upon their tender sensibilities.

“I do not mean to ‘send them out abroad," Mr. Beliridse said later. “That is not the spirit of the thing. If people are sent out under some- body else‘s scheme they are critical. and possibly discontented. Let them go out and make their way and they will be self-dependant. as pioneers ought to be. Pioneers take whatever offers and make the-best of it.

"They so out and break virgin soil and carve farms out ci the wilder- ness- They are willing. if need be. to work as farm hands. That is the proper spirit-ready for anything. If

Same place!—stsnds a curious three-sided pyramid. which seen from a distance looks like a church spire. Actually it is a monument erected to his own memory in 1782- twenty-nine years before he died- by an eccentric lawyer named John Knili. . ' O O O KNILL. who was Mayer of 8t. Ives in 1707, intended the monument as a landmark for ships and as a tomb for his remains when he died. In his will he left a bequest payable once every five years to ten girls from St. Ives who should climb the hill and sing the Ono Hundredth Psalm at his nronllmcct. I

ONE NIGHT when Eddie Cantor was with the Ziegfeld "Follies." he received word in his dressing-room from Rcdmsn Wanamaker- then New York's official welcomer-to come to a party after the show and meet the Prince of Wales. ‘f1 had no chance to notify my wlfe," chirrups Cantor (in "My Llie is in Your Hands’), “and when I finally not home it was after five o'clock in the morning." "Where have you been?" she asked with a chilling calm.

"I was with the Prince of Wales."

"Oh, get into bed!" she muttered, angrily. "I suppose you'll come home at six to-morrow morning and say you were out all night with President Coolidgel"

It was during the school teachers’ agi- tation for better pay that the spokes- man for the teachers exclaimed be- fore the Board:

THIS story is credited to Amelia Earhart, trans-Atlantic flier, settle- ment worker and author of "20 hrs. 40 min. Our Flight in the Friend- ship’; »

Miss Earhart in trying to reason with a little chap aged five who oh- jccted to going to bed early, much to his mother's worrimcnt, pointed out among other things, that little chick- ens always went to roost at. sundown.

“Yes? replied the lad, "but the old hen goes with them. My mum stops up and enjoys herself."

WHICH reminds me of c. “kiddie" story told by Mrsl A. M. W. Stirling, slster-in-law of William DeMorgan, the famous novelist, in her book “Life's Little Day." In her young- er days Mrs. Stirling taught a Sun- day School class. Once a month the entire school was catechized in church by the local Vicar. her confusion when one of her class asked the question: “Andwhat did Joseph's brethren do to Joseph?" re- plied "Ate ’im up!"

THE expression “Hobsolrs choice," it seems. dates back over-three hun- dred years and originated from the livery stable of one. Tobias Hobson. of Cambridge —the first man in Eng- land to let cmt hackney horses, ac- cording to Addison. Hobson made a rule that thongh a prospective cust- omer might be shown a whole stable full of horses. the customer always had to take the animal which stood nearest the door. whence-Hob- son's choice.

In addition to running his livery stable, Hcbson drove a carrier's wag- on-relates Alvin F. Harlow (in “Old Post BagsW-for sixty years ‘ ‘ l Cambridge and London. When the plague broke out in London in i630 all traffic was stopped. and Hobson was like a fish out oi water. O O O MILTON. then an undergraduate at.
