Placid Wives.

The complacency of deserted wives
is responsible for much OF the fickle-
ness of husbands.and It probably
comes from the weariness of living
with impossible men. II is said. In
all seriousness. that modern brides
are prepared In a measure for the wa
vering Of conjugal fidelity. They are
brought up In the belief that II is too
much to expect a man to confine his
attention to one woman. so they be-
gin to plan out busy life which does
not include the husband as soon as
the honeymoon wanes. They call 1t q
comfortable method OF accepting
life and lose no sleep In worry
Sometimes they are agreeably dis
appointed. for the husband proves to
be all that is expected of him and con-
siders himself a bit cheated by the
attitude of his wife. There are good
husbands In the world, many of them,
men who have no thought of senti-
ment outside the four walls OF home,
but they are not always appreciated.
One of the number, married a pleas
ure-loylng girl two years ago and
happened to mold fidelity In light es-
teen and actually was heard to wish
that her husband was like other men
of his social position and spent his
evenings at a club. Nothing dread
full happened to her for such q wish.
but she deserved 1t.
