Dorothy Dix On Some P;,. e:s''s Of
the Wfe Desire for Romance
Many Matrimonial Banks
Divorce.

which ideaIity and romance flower,
and the man who has been up against
it all day long is apt to have such
matters as his wife's favOrite fiowe-,
and even the anniversaries that are so
all important to the woman, knocked
out of his head Moreover, when he
goes home he is tired, and he wants
TO rest in peace instead Of rousilS
himself up to make ardent love, and
is happily satisfied to take his wife's
devotion for granted and to have her
accept his in the same way.
OF course this is the sensible Nmatri-
monial platform, if only women wee
logical and reasonable enoughs to
climb up on it, but unhappily women
have nothing to do with logic and
reason. They are incarnate emotion
They've got to feel ia mans heart
uuivering under their hands in order
to believe that 1t beats for them
Her Capital Prize.
The great tragedy of matrimony is
that women demand unceasing sem
timent and romance from men, and
men either cannot, or will not, be SEN
timental after they are married.
Marriage is a failure or a success TO
a woman Just exactly in the proportion
as her husband maintains the attitude
of the lover. He may provide her
with diamonds and automobiles and be
as virtuous as the Ten Command
ments, yet she will be an unhappy,
disconnected, disgruntled wife if she
is married to one of the dry-as-ilst,
prosaic men who call his wife moth
err" and never pays her compliment
after the wedding day.
On the other hand the man may
have every fault IN the docket, and
be drunken and worthless. and his
wife will forgive and take in board
ers to support him, and still -hipk that
she drew the capital prize in the lot
terry of marriage just as long rs her
husband holds her hand in the 5aooa-
light occasionally and quotes poetry to
her, and Pells her that she grows
more beautiful every year
Room for Compromise.
And the average man would rather
run the risk of a divorce court than
pay his wife a few compliments, or
let her know how much he really
admires her, and that he blessed his
stars every day for getting her
And there you are, as Mr.. Henry
James would say.
It does seem. however. in view of
these facts, that there is roSn for
compromise on both sides IL the inter-
est of domestic harmony. Women
make fewer sentimental demands upon
their husbands and realize that the
man who has to wrestle with the in
tricacies of the stock market or the
grocery trade can't always be keyed
up to a pitch of a Booth Harrington
hero.
And on their part men should re-
member that a woman .can no more
live without romance THAI she can
without bread. and that If he wants
to keep his wife happy and contente0
he has got TO give her kiss that IS
something more than the dry peck on
the cheek of duty, and to tell :er
now and then that she has got the
Venus de Milo beaten to a staadstiH
as a living picture
If men were more sentimental and
women less so. the divorce lawyers
would have to shut up shop, ana Rero
would be the lonesomest place on the
map.

THERE'S a little girl in the town
Z where I live, a pretty little girl
And she can sing, and she
can play on the piano, and she can
sew. and she can weed the garden, and
she's as good as gold, and as bright
as a brand new silver dollar.
But her father is a drunkard-
Not the sort of drunkard that you
read about in tracts He does not run
away from his family nor neglect them
He gives them a neat little house, well
furnished and well provided, and when
he is sober he's as good as gold to
his wife and to the children; but once
every two or three months this man
gets drunk, and then he comes home
and calls his wife names and swears
at the children.
The other day the neighbors had
the man arrested, and they took the
children to the Juvenile court and tried
to get the Judge to put them in an or
phan asylum. The mother of the chill
dren was in the court room, and she
was gentle little creature, with great,
sad eyes, and a voice full of love when
ever she spoke her children's names.
The neighbors admitted that the moth
er was a good woman and a good
mother, but they didn't want the chill
dren to learn to swear, they said
The Judge gave the children to the
mother and told her to take them home.
Then he lectured the man, and told him
that If he were ever complained of
again he would take the children away
from him, and the wife, too. for that
matter-and the woman slipped her

Why the Creator should have made
Adam short on sentiment and Eve long
on romance, is one of the inscrutable
mysteries OF providence that the finite
mind has never been able to grasp.
Possibly it was to even things up and
keep US from being a race of railroad
presidents with hearts like stones, or
of lAlg haired poets who were nothing
but heart, according as we took after
our pa, or our ma.
At any rate the practical result has
been that, except for the brief period
of courtship during which every man
average wife spends her life asking
her husband for bread and he gives
her a stone. Her appetite for senti-
ment is Unsuitable, and he either can
not. or viii not, provide it with food.
This is the most pathetic of all
causes for divorce, and even the
sternest moralist must have some pity
for the woman who is so hungry
hearted that she turns from her own
barren hearthstone to steal forbidden
love and romance on the outside.
Hungry for Romance.
1t is the misfortune of~a woman to
be able to stay a bride for so years,
and to long just as ardently when
she is a grandmother for all the out
ward tokens that she is loved as she
did when she was a, girl Off 20. She
still wants to be told that she is beau
tiful in the eyes Of the man to whom
she is married. She still wants him

to make an audible wooder over his
buck in getting her. She can still
thrill at his touch, and wait for Eis

as it did when he jumped the garden
wall to steal a kiss under the rose.
In reality a woman may know that
the good. honest, domestic, stOop-
shouldered man, who works his fin
gers to the bone to make her COM
Portable, loves her with his whole
heart, but, this commonplace devotion
that expresses itself in a peck of pa-
tatoes and head of cabbage instead
of American Beauty roses, leaves an
aching vooid in her life She isn't
satisfied with deeds. She wants words.
good, hot sizzling oaths of affection.
A pearl tiara and a diamond stoma-

half as much as a bunch of flowers
that her husband sends her on the
anniversary of the day he first saw
her coming down country lane.

little nosegay satisfies the very Crav-

On the other hand, while a woman
can stav a bride all her life 2 man
sheds his bride-groomness at the
altar. This does not mean that the
man does not as truly love his wife
as she does him, but merely that he
is eonstitutionally unsentimental Be
sides, his notion of showing a woman
that he loves her is to get out and
hustle for her, so that she is pro-
tected, safe and warm in the home

Woman'S Remarkable Feat.
One of the most remarkable swimming
feats ever accomplished by woman
took place in 1880, when Miss Agnes
Beckwith set a record almost as safe as
that which was made bv Webb when he

she had made 20 miles in the Thames IN

Capt. Riley the Champion.
One of the worlds greatest long dis

Coney Island. He is one of the two
men who defeated Webb Of English
channel fame. He says Webb was the
greatest swimmer the world has ever
seen. In 1881 at MOntasta beach. Mas

a race with a 40 mile wind blowing off
the sea. Riley and Webb were the only
two of the dozen who did not quit.
Webb finished 80 yards ahead OF Riley
in this race. but in a later one Riley
safely outdistanced Webb. In 1885 Ri
