Family Spats Seem a Routine Part of Married Life, But Much Embarrassment Can Be “ Saved by Choosing the Scene of Combat

mm???- fai-oi-ife diversion of most married couples is quarreiing. They ‘~‘ ll ill-ll U103’ hive M1 iIiB-lieliflble right to indulge in this dangerous sport when. and where, and as often as they please- Such a. thing as selecting an appropriate time and place and audience for a family spat apparently never occurs to them, as all of us can testify who have been forced to listen to darling" say things to ‘sweetie’ that would have been actionable in any court of law, and heard "dearest" make retorts that simply burned “anrel face" up and would have got hei- a divorce and alimony for cruel and inhuman treatment,

0f course, a stern moralLst might say that husbands and wives should emulate the little birds that in their nests agree, and that there is no psychological moment or ‘ proper setting for the domestic row. But, _ this would require both matrimony and hum- anitr to have a. higher level than it has attained at Present, and as, long as ihings are as they are married couples are going to have differences of opinion and argue them out to the bitter end.

hforcovcr, they enjoy it. It relieves the tedium of oonnubial life, Wlllvli is often dull, monotonous and lacking in thrills. No one who has observed the trlfles- over which husbands and wives go to the mat, ean (lilllbt that they fight for the pure fun of fighting. A more gesture of (il{)l[llll{iC\'~lllC smallest concession-would prevent any family row, but it in not made because both parties are simply spoiling for a set-to.

Also, a psychiatrist would tell us that the family row is healthful. It is a safely vlrve that lem off the excess irritations that different person- ahues rubbing against each other daily engenders. It is the suppressed tmOiilllls‘. zlun blow up, not those that let off the steam in hurling epithets or ikimilllre, according to their grade in society.

So, then. the question arises as to when and where is the bar-t place in winrh 2o slllilt‘ u battle. For some unknown reason, unless it be that mos;- of us get up on the wrong side of the bed, anyway, with a chip on our shoulders. the favorite terrain always has been the breakfast table, In tens of thou. and-a of homes the daily spat is Just as much a part of the breakfast menu as the cofiee and the bacon and eggs. If the wife has any iurpledsunt eommunlcntionon to make to her husband, it is then that she does it If the husband has any acid criticism to ofler on his wife, he chooses that moment in which to do so.

Yet of all possible times and places none is so fatal to both parties as the breakfast lhblc at which to have a family row, because it leaves both the husband and wife all day in which to nurse a grievance and brood over lllvll‘ wrongs. Many a wife who quarrels with her husband at break- ills! loses him 1O the woman in his office, who purrs over him and yes- \'(~'\L'.\ hlm klany u hauabzind has to pay nn extravagant, bill at a spec- .-hop because he was mggardly about the market money at break-

Nor are fl/ill-Olllfibllfis a safe place in which to discuss financial prob- lmils and reveal that mother is coming for a nice long visit. Nothing more coiurbvei-sihl than the weather or the eflect. on a rice dict. on the JnlliiilvSf) should bc broached. Yet who of us has not ridden with mar- ru d couples who quarreled so bitterly that we thought that at any mom- ent they would commit murder upon each other? As a matter of fact. irniliv olheers attribute a large percentage of automobile accidents to the drivers being so distraught by domestic disturbances that they did not know tvhzn they were doing.

Spculziilg generally, it would seem that the only proper place for a family quarrel is in the privacy of a home, but a famous Judge of a Dom- estic Relations Court. who has given the subject much thought, disagrees with this point of view. He thinks that gives husbands and wives too znuch leeway .t00 much fredom to indulge that tongues and their tem- pears a0 he advises mirried couples to go to a restaurant once or twice a. week and talk over their differencw.

He thinks that the fact that they have on their best clothes puts them on their best behavior: that they are enjoying their surroundings and their ntcai softens their asperlties. and that because they have to keep down their voices keeps them from saying things that they don't really mean and that they will later repent.

And this seems a wise conclusion. Certainly if we waited to find a proper background against which to quarrel, we wouldn't do it at all, and rimny a heartbreak and divorce would be saved.

Exquisite bottles, huge powder puffs, bath salts in strange shaped Jars, and fiacons of perfume (which made her dream of strange places) under illuminated glass counters. gave the whole place an air of subdued wealth.

This everlasting, glittering dis- play did not make her feel envious or bitter. She was happy-go-lucky slim, prown-eyed, and immensely interested in every- thing and everybody.

She had been brought up to accept this aspect of life as her own. But through a series of dreary unforseen circumstances, she had found herself penniless. and an orphan, at the age of 23. It had never occurred to her that shc might have to earn her own living. She possessed no training of any kind, and at that time. not even a desire for a career.

She refused all kinds of well- meaning offers from lutlons. Came up to London. smiled sweetly at the staff mana- ger at Beilows begged for a chance and was given it in the perfumery department. She was now earning £2 10s. 0d. a week and commission. and felt rather grand because she

The days passed in a procession of people who demanded her assist- ance.

When they were particul- arly tiresome, she remembered that the cuetomer is always When her feet ached, longed to sit down, she changed her shoes and remembered that it would soon be six o'clock.
