fed to love her husband and to take
him for granted? AS her evident mis-
cry made up uncomfortable, l turned
TO my book again and tried to read.
The sentence that my ears fell on was
this:
There were times when it seemed
easier TO give his life for her than
to live with her; when to shed his
blood would have cost less than to
make conversation
The sentence was written of a mar
ried couple who had taken each other
for better, for worse, because they
loved each other. Yet they had come
to the place where the man could feel
like this of the woman whom he had
elected to live with until death ended
the union.
And right here in front of me was
another Couple-unhappy, harassed by
each other-another pair who, in the
sight of God and man. had vowed eter-
nal fidelity to each other. Yet the dig
nifty of these vows did not prevent
their quarreling like a pair of silly
children.
AS I listened l thought of the nag
ners of the world, those people who
drive men to worse sins than the
women themselves are capable OF.
Very often such wives are models of
morality and discretion. This one
probably possessed many of what my
novelist calls "the little virtues that
ARE sometimes more deadly to the
passion of love than are the large vi.
ces." And the pity of it all is that the
poor soul cherishess the delusion that
/ in nagging her husband she is doing
her duty by him.
This man took her insinuations
with well-assumed patience for a
while He tried to change the subject
! in a clumsy masculine way by asking
/ her if she had succeeded in matching
! the piece OF silk she thought so pretty
but she answered in a monosyllab BILE
and then went on TO say that she did
! wish he would try to break himself OF
the wretched habit of unpunctuality.

saw the woman's hand steal furitive-
ly to her face. and | knew that, under
her veil, she was wiping away the
teardrops that she could not keep
from her eyes. ! also knew that she
was very sorry for herself, that she
felt that her efforts to improve the
man she loved were unappreciated
that she was self-hypnOtized into the
belief that. as she meant we'll she had
done we'll and that she felt that her
husband was an unfeeling brute, She
was certainly to be pitied-and OF
course the man had been very rude
