Expects From a Wife, But After All, He is Generally Satisfied if She 'l‘urns Out . to be a Good Companion

A young girl who is going to be married asks what a husband wants inhis wife. oh. amsn wantshiswifetobeahappycombinatloncfnfl the charms and virtues, and than some.

He wants her to be an Bmnlkamflfiion 0! Miss Universe and Mae West, Patient Gris- elda and Betty Green, a domestic science ex- pert and his mother. He wants her to be 5 playgirl and a kitchen mechanic; to be a miracle-worker who can run a house on air: to look like a million dollars without I'll-11111118 up bills at the shops; to he a mind reader who will know that he still loves her even if he never shows that he does; to keep per- petually young and slim, and to never Weary of burning incense before him.

These are the few modes: requirements that a man makes of his ideal wife and that no mortal woman could possibly fulfill. But, ‘ fortunately, when it oolnes down to the real

as tacks of matrimony. men are much less demanding in reality than ‘icy are in theory and are quite satisfied with a simple line of attractions that any wife could hand out if she were willing to take the trouble to do so.

A man wants, to begin with, a wife who will make him comfortable. Most men marry for a home. They are sick and tired of boarding hous- es and hotels and restaurants: of keeping up with their laundry and send-. ing their clothes to be pressed and of loking after themselves; of going back to a dark and lonely room after‘ the day's work is over. They want some place that will be a haven of rest to them; where there will be a light in the window and loving hands to draw them across the threshold the things they like to eat cooked just the way they like them smoking hot on the table.

“Beauty may draw us by a single hair," as the poet says, but being made comfortable is a hawser that ties a man to his doorpost. The wife- deserters are never the men whose wives were craclcerjsck cook and who made home the most comfortable spot on earth to liheir husbands.

A man wants a sweet-tempered. cheerful wife. He gets plenty of fighting in the outside world and he does not deifie to spend his even- ings scrapping with his wife. He has plenty of worries in his business to depress him and he does not wish to have his gloom added to by a. wife who meets him at the door with a tale of woe about everything that has gone wrong during the day, and who whines and complains about not being able to have the things that millionaires have.

What a man wants is a wife who is easy to live with; one who will laugh of! his little faults and make I Joke of them instead of nassmg him about them; one who will keep the atmosphere of the home gay and bright

and whose conversation is funny and peppy. instead of being 3, dirge. A man wants his wife to be a companion to him. He wants her to be interested in his work, in all his hopes and plans. .‘:e wants her to read what he does and to like his friends. Every man is bound to have some woman on whose shoulder he can weep when things go wrong with him. to whom he can boast of his successes and snow oi! as he could not . to any other man. And when his wife won't lend him her ears he finds some other lady who will. It is the wives who interrupt their husbands’ ~—‘t°1"195 ab‘-Wt h<{_W they pulled oil a big deal to say, "Look how cute the

kitten is acting. and who will never step out of an evening with their husbands because they are afraid the nurse might let the baby get, un- covered, who are always weeping about the other Woman.

XAPTII 11

Mcmsatartly oblech in the room became fainter as Iris waited for Mark in his I9!-rtment. Throulh the windows she saw clouds pue to- gether like a dark greet bank and

asthsilrstlargedropsofrainfell.

In spite of the long time she waited, neither anger nor shame abated. Mixed with contempt for Mark and this humiliating gesture of generosity was contempt for her- self and for Selina whose cry so

long had been, "You must make a brilliant marriage." No, she had not married a man with money but a man with money had made her cheap and degrading to herself and to the world. Nothing he could have done was as degrading as taking away her respect for herself! There was little time to think oi her mother and Eve and Eve's liv- mg and studying with Mark's mon- ey. One thing was certain and that was she could not go on living on his money. Iris felt a pang of pity for Camilla, her beauty gone, her future empty of the hope that Mark would share it with herl Lightning played about the room when she saw Mark come in and look at her with surprise at finding her there. Was it possible to love and hate in the same breath? Iris's love went out to him from her eyes ——hurt, stricken eyes. Her mouth was drawn. Her throat sched.

He did not pretend that this was a friendly visit and he hesitated to speak, knowing why she had come. Postpone it, he thought, although he knew she would not rent and shout. Better ranting and shouting than this maddening control of her- self!

Not. stopping to turn on a light, he went to her and sat by her on the dlvan. she couldn't despise him enough to forget this room and this divan where for the first time they had looked at each other!

“Iris, I won't apologize for what I did for you. Before we say any- thing else let me tell you I shall be forever grateful to you for telling Gamma a brutal truth. I've just come from there. I asked her to marry me and she refused. You went to her, knowing that she would tell you something about me to

hurt you . . ." He touched her arms and she drew away.

“That's a mild way of putting it-— hurt. You. of all people, who know my loathing for things unfair, to degrade me to myself and my fam- ilyandfriends. . .hurtissuchn. small we

“I was trying to make it easier for you. Believe me, I was."

she drew away from him again. “You were trying to buy me. The working girl who sells herself so that she sister can be famous. What right did you have to do that? I -told Louis once I had no weapons of power and money to light with. I've never had anything but my

self-respect. Now you've taken that away from me." She turned and loked at him. “I suppose

'rommy owes his new Job to you, too." His eyes met hers.

"Yes. I did that for him." "You did that, too? And I sup- poeelntlme you will take the mortgage from our home?" She laughed dryly, shortly. "It's ugly and! sordid melodrama. How dare you " "I dared because I love you." "My love has nothing to do with filgney. It's above lt—wss above

"You still love me, Iris. You wouldn't have set me free if you hadn't."

“Love mingled with hate and con- tempt for a man who tries to buy his way."

"Stop saying that. If 1 1: Wanted to buy you. I'd have told you what I was doing to win your gratitude. I wasntt paving the V", "01’ myself —— but for Joel. You can't understand that, em you?

Her eyes wer less vehement when they met his 08111:. ,

“Thisl.sthetlmetotellyoutl:ut this gesture of yours has shaken my faith to nothi.ng—has made the per- fect thing in my life imperfect. for weeks since I’ve known and loved you it's something I've held on to. Everything could hurt me and dis- appoint .me—but that was rlsht and good. You and what you stood l0: When everything went wrong, . locked up to it."

"I never dreamed it would he likt this. I do things impulsively like that. It was not w humuiate you or make you cheap. You couldn‘t be. Iris. And I'm humble for what you did for me. Your gesture was magnificent."

"Do you think they'll keep silent, Annette and Camilla? soon every one will know. People will point me out as the girl Mark Christian . . ."

"Loved and lost.“ he said.

For a second the lightning blind- ed her.

"I'm glad you weren't here when I came," she said. “I would have been shrewish. I wanted to be vile

and abusive. When people are hurt, they want to hurt other peo-

“Are you so much concerned about your reputation and what Camilla will spread around?"

“It's not very important. But that's all 3 poor girl ever has—her reputation. I've tried to keep mine clean."

“Once you said you forgave Joel for loving you too much? Iris, will you forgive me for loving you so much I wanted to make it easier for you?"

It was quite dark in the room ex- cept for the spasm Ab flashes of lightning. Rain sputtered against the windows. From somewhere in the apartment came a. cool swift draft.

She got up and walked a. little away from him. It was madness to stay and listen to his voice, to be so close she could touch him. Fire and ice she felt, looking at his smooth black hair and his dark eyes that waited for her answer. How close love was to hste—she had the im- pulse to cry out againsthim angrily one moment and the next to go into his arms and say. “Take me away from all this ugliness. only you can take me away. Protect, me from everything, Mark—-from the light- ning and the rain—-from people like Annette and Camilla who will lie about me! Take me away from all this and love me so much I'll forget it ever happened!”

she turned her face away and said, “You might at least have giv- en me the perfect memory of loving you when we are saying good-bye."

"Good-bye!"

"I didn't play the game with you. I fell in love with you, Mark. I didn't have any right to fall in love with you when I'd promised .loel— but I did."

“How wrong you are, Iris, with your stubborn loyalty." riis hands were on her shoulders. "I won't beg you to listen to reason. 1 love you and want to marry you. when you know you're wrong. come and tell me. I'll be waiting. You're A fair person. If it takes years for you to know you're being unfair to yourself and this boy, I'll still be waiting."

she said, “Everything is wrong, twisted, and spoiled."

"I'm sorry I spoiled the perfect memory. Thavsalilcansey . . . sorry and grateful. . .

“And good-bye."

Closing the door, she stood in the long empty hall, now dark, now briefly llzhted by swift flashes.
