Can Pick Married Couples
BY Bored Expressions.

Ii you desire to get a line on how
little companionship there is be-
tween the great majority of hus-
bands and wives watch them at the
theater, or at the restaurants, or
any of the other places of public
amusement You will see them
sitting up in a silence so thick that
YOU could cut it with a knife,
yawning in each others faces be-
tween the acts of the play, and
stuffing themselves on bread and
butter at the restaurant while they
wait for their order to be served.
Not word have they to say to
each other unless they get into a
scrap about what they shall have to
eat. or whether they put the cat
out Of doors when they left home
In any company you do not need a
diagram to show you which are the
married couples You can pick
them out by their bored express
sions
Then did YOU ever notice the pit
iful paucity of conversation in the
home? Husbands and wives seem
to have literally no topic in com
mon except the bills and the chill
dren The average family circle
might be composed of mutes for all
the cheerful and interesting talk
that goes about it, Yet the hus-
band may be famed as a wit and a
raconteur in society. and his wife
considered as unusually bright and
vivacious in company Both of
them have plenty to say to other
people. but they have nothing to
say to each other because they are
not friends
They may be lovers. hut the
lovers litany is short, whereas the
repertoire of friendship is exhaust
less. You soon weary of asking the
adored one Goose ducky is oo?"
and telling a woman how beautiful.

but you can talk forever to the

Wife Becomes Hysterical
If Husband Is Frank.

1t is one of the heartbreakinz
Facts of matrimony that one of the
first things that the average hus-
band finds out is that he can't even
be frank with his wife without her
going into Mysteries. He has to lie
to her when he wants to stav
downtown Of a night and plsv
game of cards, or go to dinner with
some man. He wouldn't dare to
tell her that he had happened ia
meet some woman he knew near
the door of restaurant and had
asked her to lunch with him. He'd
only tell these things to his friend,
and not one of them would be
friend wife"
Why. the great majority Of men
are not sufficiently friendly with
their wives to even talk over their
business with the ladies', or to open
up their hearts to them and snow
them their hopes, and plans and
ambitions. When they want to
talk about real things like that thew
go TO some man. It's mighty sell
oom that a man finds his real con-
hdante in friend Wife

tunate in this respect. 1t doesn't
take long for clever woman +o
discover that if she wants her
household machinery to NOV.
smoothly she must keep most of her
real thoughts and ideas to herself
and all of her troubles. and that
the best way to work her lord and
master is to make him comfort

on him as little as possible.
When woman wants to discuss
problem play, or a new novel or
her clubs. or the suffrage move
ment. she is rarely fortunst.
enough to be able to do so with
her husband. For the average man
isn't intereste d in the things that
his wife is, and he doesn't even
make a pretense of being. There

and Of the opposite sex if she is a

1t is because there is So little

wives that there is so little marital
happiness for the last estate Of
married life must either be friend.

tn HERE is one slang phrase
that always makes a hit
with me, and that is ''Friend
wife"
Do you get that? Friend wife!
It's what every man should be able
to call the woman to whom he is
married, and yet not one man in
ten thousand could truthfully use
the phrase. There are wives who
are sweethearts. wives who are af-
finities. wives who are sparring
partners. wives who are. debating
opponents. wives who are tyrants.
wives who are slaves and domestic
drudges. but how seldom a wife
who is a friend Yet the best thing
that any woman can be to her hus-
band is to be his friend. 1t is the
whole of the law and the prophets
as regards how to be happy though
married.
What is a friend? A friend is
the one Of whose companionship
you never weary-the one without
whose presence no pleasure is COM
plete. How many men do you
know who feel that way toward
their wives? The average wife is
many admirable things to her hus-
band. but she is seldom a compan
ion. He esteems her for her noble
qualities. but he doesn't take her
along with him. if he can help him
self. when he wants to have a good
time
