W A@NAAAtN a. 'SNASy >
Some folks have notion that the
moment a girl is married, no matter
how young she may be in years, looks
or feelings, she must at once become
sedate and cancel all youthful enth l.
siasms or actions. If she doesn't, all
the unmarried girls are mortally Of
Tended and all the old ladies deem her
improper.
On the other hand, the men, as a
rule, think the youthful wife charm
ing, though the husband of said wifs
expects the rather impossible combin-
alton of a wife who is thoroughly de-
mure. domesticated and dignifief
where all other men are concerned
while at the same time she retains all
her youthful charm and sprightliness
for his own especial benefit. He rather
disapproves of her acting up young"
in company.
These reflections are are called forth
by letter which arrived today.
My Dear Miss Wooley," writes II.
L. H, 81 am married woman still in

about making an old woman out ot

attitude of a settled woman. | love t.

time to spare after my house is IN

Is it out of place for me to be youth
full? l know l am criticised. But l am
so HAPPY as / am
And why shouldn't a young woman
be youthful even though married?
Energy and enthusiasm are gifts Of
the gods. Too many of us are lacking
in them and too many of us are trying
to squelch them in others In youth
or age they should be treasured.
A married woman needs to play just
as much as an unmarried one. Basket

just as good for wife as for maid,

games with their children. The beet
wife isn't the one who has the most
immaculate lace curtains, or the one
who gets cobwebs in her brain by
limiting herself to discussion IF
babies and .embroidering dollies, Or
who broils herself over the cook

She may do some of all these things
but she's wise enough to know that
they don't make for companionship
with a man.
Very few men marry just to get 81
housekeeper or a cook. A man wants
a chum who can talk with him, walS
with him, enjoy a game indoors or
out, according to mutual liking;
whose outlook is wise but preferable
joyous, whose heart is always young
and whose youthful appearance de-
lights his eye.
I'D give 800 if l could see my wife,

she sits around the house or goes Wis

tried to get her to take long walks

CHALK LINE FOR

and with scarcely thank you" but
just let him do something nice and
tender toward her mother and she
can't tell you about it without her eyes
filling up with tears of gratitude. A.
woman may work her fingers to the
bone for her husband and he won
notice it, but let her be sweet ami
dutiful to his mother and she has
forged bond between them that not
all the sirens extent could break
1t is pretty poor mean. disloyal
man or woman who doesn't love his or
her 3lother, and who hasn't an appre-
citation of the sacrifices, and the toll,
and the unselfish devotion that the
mother has given to make the man or
woman what he or sh is. 1t is one
of the noblest and most eradicable
sentiments of the human heart, and
the wonder is that any wife or any
husband ever dares to trample upon it
AS matter of fact we do trample
upon it at our peril. No man but
whose affection for his wife is blighted
by her i'll treatment of his mother, no
woman but whose love and respect fo,'
her husband are hurt beyond repair
by his insults to her mother
A curious phase of the eternal quar-
rel between mothers-in-law and
daughters-in-law is they never seen
to realize that the real victim in the
case is not either one of themselves.
but the poor unfortunate man who is
trying his best to do his duty by both
wife and mother. 1t is he who suffers,
and it is the irony of fate that not his
greatest enemy could do him so deadly
a harm as the women do who love him
best.
1t would seem that when a mother
has to live in her sons house she
would have affection enough for him
t. refrain from meddling with the
household or criticizing his wife 5
management, or trying to dictate how
the children shall be raised. But she
seldom does. One would think that
when a wife has to live with her bus
bands mother she would be anxious
enough for his happiness to take the
IL ouble to use little diplomacy n
getting along with an old and crochety
woman But she doesn't, and SO the
miserable man is ground to pieces be-
tween the upper and neither mill
stones.
The in-law question causes more
unhappiness than anything else IN
the world but it will never be settled
by law 1t is only love that is wise
enough to solve it
