You are always telling women what they should do to retain their hill- bands’ love. Why not tell men what they should do w keep their wives’ ~ interest in them alive? We no more admire lul- shaven, slovenly husbands than men do slovcnly wives. Marriage does not blind us w the fact any more than it makes our husbands unaware that there are other charming women. After all, love has been woman's game since time lui and we know it well. so men need advice ‘on this subject more than we. MRS. i935. Answer: Right you are, Mrs. 1035.“ But if I write oftener to women about the importance of retaining their husbands’ affections than I do to men about keep- ing their wives in love with them, it is because it is more important to a woman to keep her hus- band iing she is the great and only one that it is for a. man to re- main a sheik in his wife's eyes. T-‘For the poet expressed an eternal truth when he said "love ls of i man's life a. thing apart, ‘tis woma.n's whole existence." Likewise mar- riage to a man is a sentimental episode, but to a. woman it is a profess- ion; a career. If a man's marriage goes on the rocks, he may be batter- edzand bruised by the misfortune, but he never suffers the same ship- wreck that a woman does. 1 No matter whether he is happily or unhapplly married a man has his business, his ambitions, his earning capacity, and he still has these in case of divorce, but the divorced woman very often has nothing but what- ever pittance of alimony she can wriny out of an estranged husband. _-- Furthermore, as long ll a man is in love with his wife, it keeps him cin_;his tiptoes trying to get comfort and luxuries to lavish upon her, but when he ceases to care for her, he slacks down and begrudges her even t meanest support. So a woman's happiness, the safety of her home, a her physical well-being all depend upoln her keeping her husband inilove with her. 2 Of course you are quite right in saying that women are nckle even as men are, and that wives fall out of love with their husbainds just as eas- ilfas men fall out of love with their wives. And this is a fact that men do not sufficiently appreciate. They cling blindly to the theory that there is something curious in a woman's make-up that enables her to love the unlovable and enjoy kissing the unkissable which, of course. L! all HOHSCIISB. Women are no more enamoured o! a three-days beard than men are of cold cream and curl papers. Nor does any woman see in a slovenly man, who thinks home is a place where you can go about in a soiled collar and Vqur stocking feet, the hero of her girlish dreams. Most of the disgruntled wives in the world. the women who an peey. [sh and fretful and complaining, the neurotic semi-invalids, the slack housekeepers and the extravagant women are the direct rcsunlta of men believing that no matter how they treated their wives they go on wor- shiping them, and so it i.sn't any use in bothering to keep their wives in love with them. . They didn't think it was worthwhile to dress up for wife and try i0 be easy on her eyes. They thuoght a grunt was all the conversation that wasnecessa y to come her way and made no attempt in entertain her.

" ‘Oh, yes, it certainly would pay a man to keep his wife in love with lffm because as long as a woman is in love with a man she breaks her neck to please him. "c ' o o o o o o i" Deli‘ Dvmihl! DiX——CB-n Y0“ dfllt the troubled waters of depression courtship? What should a thrifty business woman do for the boy friend who is out of work and out of funds? Provide him with meals and clothe him, or is sympathy sufficient? Does the woman who gives money to an unrelated man, even though she is engaged to him, reap ggyflflng ex. cept resentment? . 1N DQ Answer: As a rule the old adage, "when you loan money to a friend you lose both the money and the frlend" goes double for women who lend or give money to men. , There is nothing more difficult than for a woman to try to help any man outside of her own family. No matter how generoug she l; m- how tactfully she offers assistance, it seems to rouse a resentment '1“ mm against her that kills his affection for her. Someho it appears to make him feel that he is inferior to her and his pride rebels at this. I have never known a. man whose wife supported him who treated her decently. Always he is like a surly dog that bites the hand that feeds it.

"I call this a rotten joke." l-lis voice trembled. "Tum up the lights." said M!- Rycroft. Major Burnaby rose and did so. The sudden glare revealed a com- pany of pale uneasy faces.

He compared it with his own watch and somehow everyone felt that the action was significant in some way. "Let me see." said Mrs. Willett with forced cheerfulness. "I think we'd better have cocktails." The situation grew a little easier. “Weill said Ronnie, raising his glass. "Here's how." The others responded-all but the silent. figure by the window. "Major Burnaby. Here's your cocktail." 4 The Major roused himself with a start. l-le turned slowly. "Thank you. Mrs. Willett. Not for me." He looked once more out into the night than came slowly back to the group by the firs, “Many thanks for a. very pleasant time. Good night." "You're not going?" "Sorry, Mrs. Willett-but it's got to be done. 1f there were only. a telephone." ' "A telephone?" "Yes-to tell you the truth-I'm ~well_ I'd like to be sure that Joe Trevelyan's all right.

"Not for an hour-perhaps long- er. I'll get there, never fear." Argument and‘ entreaty had no more effect on Major Burnaby. l-fe was an obstinate man.

He wrapped himself up in his overcoat, lighted the hurricane lantern, and stopped out into the night. “I'll just drop into my place for a flask." he said cheerily, "and then push straight on. Ikevelyan will put me up for the night when I get there. Ridiculous fuss, I know. Everything sure to be all right. Don't worry, Mrs. Willett. Snow or no snow-I'll get there in a couple of hours.

"And it will be- gin lorg before he gets to Exhamp- ton. ‘r-I hope he gets them all right." Duke frowned. "I know. I feel I ought to have gone with him. One of us ought to have done so." "Most distressing," Mrs. Willett was saying. "Most distressing. Vio- let, I will not have that silly game ever played again. Poor Major Burnaby will probably plunge into a snowdrlft-or if he doesn't he'll die of the cold and exposure. At this age, too, Very foolish of him to go oil’ like that. Of course.
