Suicide Via Boredom

: Domesiicity Insufficient’ Horizon For Intellectual Computability

DEAR MISS DIX: I have become attached to a certain young lady, who has good looks. wonderful disposition, charm and‘ flna lin- earity of eliiiriietcr. She is frugal, “interested in housekeeping, loves children iinii \\'0lli(i no doiiht make a good wife and mother. But I am a UtliiPfIt‘ man, a professional man, interested in and fond of discussing intellct-tuiil stibjects. This girl has little education, makes many nlistitltvs in writing and is not the least interested in anything intellectual. I have subscribed to magazines for her and she claims to read them. hut she hasn't the faeult)’ °f "mhrilafldiflg things in- telligently nil is deficient in original ideas. Would I fllflkv R mistake i to marry a girl of her type‘! Should .l say: “Well, she has R5 per cent of all the qualifications for making a good wife, Better take S5 per cent than to look un- successfully for a 95 per cent type."

z ROBERT.

ANSWER: You ha" your ratio wrong. Robert. A

dumb woman has only 10 per cent of the qualities

that go to make a good wife for an intellectual man and she lacks the 9O per cent essential ones.

It is suicide tor an intellectual man to marry a dull and stupid woman. Just as soon as hcr physical attraction for him has dulled, she bores him to death, They have no real interests in common and they never achieve any companionship because she does not know what he is talking about half the time. There is no loneliness great- er than that of two people who spend their lives close together in body, but miles apart spiritually. Don't bring that desolate fate upon yourself. as you surely will if you marry a woman who is not in your mental class.

The thing that makes marriage a success is Congeniality. No fire- side is ever dull if the husband and wife think the same thoughts, read the sumo books, are interested in the same things. No man ever wearics of the wife who is his bcst and most intelligent listener, and

l who always hands him an entertaining and interesting line of con-

; vcrsation.

3 But ihouszintis of men roam away from home because they are bored to tears in it and because they crave the society of women who can talk with them about something else besides the baby's milk and the price of butchers‘ meat.

If I were a man thinking about getting married, the main thing I would consider was whether the woman was my intellectual equal nr not. For beauty fades. Dull women with few interests get peevish. But brains improve as they grow older.

DOROTHY DIX

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: We read every day about the poor wo- man whose husband is being lured from the straight and narrow path by his stenographer. What about the poor stenographer? We have worked for a number of men and have found them to be egotistical, selfish slave-drivers, critical of our appearance in the office, the ex- pression on our faces and numerous other trifles that we are too busy no pay attention to, If their wives had to work as hard as we are expected to, take all the bawlings out and give no answer but a sweet smile, they would all be in Reno. What the wives should do is to flatter their husbands more at home and give the poor working girl a chance to get her many tasks completed and not: to have to spend her time telling the boss that he is so handsome that he soon {will ba in Washington as the head of the Nation's affairs.

THREE DISGUSTED STENOGS

ANSWER: Right you are. girls. it is when the lawfully wedded

, wife lets up on her joh that the office wife gets in her innings, if she

is a gold-digger or has the odious job of consoler added to her other ' duties.

The theory of so many wiveu that their husbands‘ secretaries are all love pirates bent on breaking up their happy homes and taking their hushanrls from them is so much hooey. Most of the girls have hoy friends of their own from ten to twenty years younger than their employers and about fifty pounds slimmer. They are looking forward to dates with them, not to having supper with the boss.

They generally consider their employers fat, fussy old men who don't know how to dance and whose conversational line is a flop. Instead of envying their wives, they pity them. Thank goodness, they don't have to stand for those conceited tiresome old dodos after working hours.

i = You are right in saying that the remedy for the wlfe-stenographer problem is for Friend Wife to give as good service a: the stenographer In order to hold her situation. The stenographer knows well enough that she will be fired if she does not keep herself neat and tidy and if she does not do her work efficiently; if she does not accept rebuke and criticism with humility and without argument, and if she does not yes-yes her employer and laugh at the right place when he tells stories and feed him on the flattery for which he is so hungry and for which he begs.

Any stenographer who cama to work looking slovenly and un-

kempt, whose work was sloppy and who "sassed" her boss and told him what lhe thought of him would lose her Job before the week was over. . , I Any wife could keep her husband if she would work an hard at the job of being a wife as the stenographer does at her task. When a woman stuffs her husband on angel food at home he doesn't go around nibbling on sweets in his office.

ELLEIPS DIARY

By An Inland Farmofl Wife

Goldenrod, early Iymbol of Au- tumn, now flaunt: August’: cog- ora from fence-corner and roa - side, and with Jamie we recently came upon blue asters at pond- side. Stooping above the water, to catch graceful reflections there, in company with the rushes with brown velvety heads and the other water plants which grow in a varied and interesting profusion about it. That was the afternoon we had gone prowling, our excuse being to come presently to an old haunt of ours to gather the mak- ings of a raspberry pie, or as Jeniie said “perhaps enough for supper, just as they are. "What scenes from the past, a spell of berrying now returns to us, though peopled too often with the faces and forms of those who have mov- ed from beyond our ken, or indeed gone altogether from “time and place!” l-low long and lovely were those days, we are sure not nearly so fleeting as those at hand. O O O

We loitered along the milldam, a place rather fearful to Jamie with its deep and {iwesome waste-gates. and came to the spot in the lee of the mill, \vherc the raspberry canes wander in a riot over a small area to the edge of the stream. But finding few to take.

We presently put down our jug “with the wreath of marigolds ‘round the brim" and followed

Jamie to wade the shallow water there.

O O Shallow only when mill-wheels are idle, as they were that after- noon, because Mr. C. from the house on the hill, the owner, and his helpers were engaged then in sawing an accumulation of fire- wood, with a noisy “circular" on the slope above us. To emerge from the area below, to the light of full day above is to come sud- denly upon another world. Below. it is sheltered and secluded, shad- ed from the glare of the after- noon sun and silent. O O O

Only muted echoes of the out- side activity enter there and the gentle croon of the stream as be- tween steep and mostly wooded banks it hastens away to join the tidal river below. Singing a Sum- mer tune, it rippled over the smooth stones and pebbles. Dia- carding shoes in this green cathe- drai-like spot we always much ad- mire, we waded a length of the stream. Idly with Jamie, finding new plants and intriguing seeds. listening to the hlrd voices, gath- ering odd raspberries from over- hanging canes, that had chanced to be lit by filtering shafts of sunlight. chasing minnows though never actually cornering them and loathful to leave the delightful surrounding when duties called us home.

I O O

This afternoon we had an outing of another sort, when suspending the haying in an unexpected and almost; unprecedented move which surprised us and made Karolyn re- mark with a chuckle, “Now, I hope this doesn't indicate that any one of you farmers is going to be ta- ken down with an illness!” Jamie's family and grand-parents enjoyed an excursion with other: of the community which took them to a southern shore. No famous dune! sit here, heaped with the blown sand of ages, but there are nice beaches, which green fleldl and some now turning golden run down to caress. Familiar scenes these shores on the South give to us of Summer tides washing gently. of gulls on silver wings, of rippled red sand-bars, of blue wa- fer rivalling the azure of the sky. and today over its wide bosom. the shores of the mainland could be seen—we remember now, as chil- dren. We used to soy this indicated showers or a storm in the offing. A motor boat, in the distance spilt the waves cleanly and left a wake of foam in its passing.

O O O

We wished for the lake of Jamie and other youngsters who had never seen the like, that an old- time schooner with sails spread and billowing might make her way as once into the picture. or a fetching steam ship, with dark smoke from her funnels, such a: in bygone days, made weekly voy- ages beyond this shore. But even without these former delights, which always provided much spec- ulation for children, today's out- ing was a pleasurable one to young and old. We think new that not the least item of interest was tho delectable supper spread in the shade and shelter of a grove, one to please and nppeano every appe- tite. Sandwiches and home-baked rolls, salads and meata, relllheii and aho’tenln' bread, cake! of mysterious concoction and plea with gossamer-like meringue, and all "no trouble at all" to the cooks, since their baking: were but labors of love. The lhadowl closing in from Strait and head- land, behind which the nun had slipped away to rent, brought tho homing-and choral.

O O O

"What now?" we inquired of James, who rushed in a tow min- ute: ago to pick up a jacket.- chorel ended and a load of hay which all afternoon had awaited the farmers’ return, hoisted to it! place on a stack. "Now, Ellen?" James repeated -our words, "we have to go to the other farm now. to help Rob round up a heifer to deliver to the butcher." "The moon's rising", we commented, following to a verandah, "isn't it lovely tonight?” "The moon!" Jamel lnorted. "who'| got time to look at the moon around here!" - - But, this has been an enjoyable day for Jamel and the rent of the family. o o o
