shed gobs of tears over the marriages that finish in the divorce courts hut no less pitiful are the marriages that just fizzle out into boredom and estrangement where love Is not killed by a dramatic knife thrust into the heart but just perishes 'of anemia The tragedy is not less bitter because neither the husband nor the wife knows when it happened or where or why I think the reason that so many have" failed" because' in most marriages the wife is all mother and the husband is all business The thoughts and interests are all centered in the nursery The thoughts and interests are all centered in money making And so they go different ways into different worlds and drift so far apart that they become aliens to each other The first break between a young husband and wife nearly always comes when the first baby is born tip to that time the husband has been lord of his life For him she has put on her prettiest dresses and her sweetest smiles To him she has given her petting and caressing For him she has made every effort to be entertaining and amusing hut with the advent of Junior nil this has changed Baby is first now with husband ruuning a had second It is baby who is cooed over and gurlged over now baby for whom the house is run baby who has a monopoly on time and interest and conversation Many a woman gets so wrapped up in her children that she never goes anywhere never reads anything never talks about anything except formulas and little Johnnie's adenoids and never shows her husband the slightest affection nor has any apparent in- terest in him except ns a provider for her brood and thus inevitably she kills hfcr affection for her by starving it to death She forces him to seek other society because hers has become so dull and tiresome And many a man ceases to he his Fairy Prince when he turns into nothing but drudge He is too busy and tired to take her places and keep her amused He reads noting but the stock market When she rculizcs that nothing she could do or say would give him a thrill that a 5-point rise in Steel would and that she has married a green grocery or a dry goods store instead of a man it is no wonder that her romance goes blooey and Cupid parks up his duds and departs The moral is that if husbands and wives want to keep in love with each other they must keep their fences mended as they go along DOROTHY DIX Copyright 1936 LAN -'I Virtually every marriage Is a love match A boy and girl marry because they feel that they cannot live without each other and they are absolutely certain that no matter what has happened to other romances theirs will remain untarished to their golden wedding day They wouid regard as an unspeakable sarri-lege the mere suggestion that they could ever grow indifferent i to each other and drift so far apart that they had become strangers who did not even speak the same language Yet this catastrophe happens so Often it is what we have cynically come to believe the common end 61 marriage and when we do find an old couple who are still lovers who are still interested in each other and enjoy being together we make as great an ado over them as if they were an eighth wonder of the world They are marked people in the community We point to them with pride as we relate with wonder and awe in our voices how they enjoy going out together what good times they have just the two of them and how they still find themselves fascinating companions and have not talked out after forty years of married life For such alas! Is not the custom of the general run of husbands and wives Most of them after the first five years are' past and the honeymoon has set regard marriage with a I-wonder-what-niade-nie-do-it eye and then begin to stray or settle down to a sto'cal endurance according to their natures and their principles We see all about us these couples Who started out with such high hopes of bliss but whose marriages have turned to dust and ashes in their teeth They are our neighbors Our friends Perhaps ourselves Husbands and wives who have lost touch with each other whose attraction for each other has gone Who
