The wife wants a change from
the surroundings and the things
she's been doing all day, just as
the man wants a change from
what ne has been doing all day,
and the environment that he has
been in, and the pity of it is that
these two desires are diametrical-
ly opposed TO each other. Hence
these quarrels and reproaches
and tears,
The man complains: Ny wife
Is never satisfied unless she is
gadding about at night.
The woman walls: My husband
e Is never willing to take me out
anywhere in the evening.
And both feel that they are very
much misused, and both are right
from their individual standpoint,
and both are utterly and entirely
selfish, because each refuses to
look at the matter from the 9TH
ers point of view.
Certainly the man who has
been on n terrific strain all day
that taxed body and brain to the
very breaking point is entitled
to n quiet evenings rest at home
in which to build himself up to
meet the strenuous struggle of
the next day. He needs it. What
is more, he must have 1t if he is
to hold his own In the fierce COM
petition Of modern business life.
No man whose wife drags him
around of evenings to theatefs
and the opera and parties and
dances and late suppers where
he eats and drinks too much can
hold his own against the man
who comes to his work with
rested nerves and a brain cleared
with eight hours good sleep and

a stomach at peace with itself
and all the world.
Many a case OF nervous break
down that comes to a man gust
az he has success almost in hand
is wholly and entirely due to his
wife's mania for society. She's
rushed her husband from enter
tainment to entertainment when
he should have been resting and
recuperating at home, and he
simply collapses under the dou-
BILE strain OF work and pleasure. =,
A Wrong View.
So the woman whose love for
her husband does not make her
willing to stay quietly at home
with him of evenings should be
prompted to do so by her inter-
est. If she wants to conserve his
energies and strength and in
crease his money earning power
and hurry him on the way to sue
cess, let her encourage him in
sticking to his own fireside at
nights instead Of hunting up
amusement on the outside.
There Is no reason why any

merable women's clubs, of hen
luncheons, of bridge whist par
ties. of matinees, of afternoon
tango teas. who can't get all the
diversion that she is entitled to
have in the daytime. She does
not need evening parties to sus-
tain her spirits, in the cases
where her husband doesn't want
to go out after dinner.
OF course, many women, with
a virtuous air. say that they
don't enjoy things so much unless
their husbands are along, and
that therefore they prefer to go

to places of amusement in the
evening rather than the after
noon. Scat, Any woman who
takes that attitude is inspired not
by love, but by the spirit Of do
nestle tyranny. She's determined
to make an unwilling man go
with her just to show that she
can triumph over him.
However, compromise Is a good
thing in matrimony, as 1t Is else
where In the world, and it has al
ways seemed to me that 1t would
be good way to settle this
question for the wife to demand
and receive a cooks privilege Of
an evening off every week. 1t
wouldn't hurt man either in
health or pocket to give his wife
one little treat a week, and 1t
would freshen and brighten her
UP amazingly. and keep her from
nagging him the balance of the
time.
AS Thursday Is the maids day
out, SO let Saturday night be sa-
cred with husbands to the enter
tanning of their wives On that
evening let them take their wives
to the theater, or to a restau-
rant for dinner, or a friends for
a bit of a party. 1t would break
the deadly grind of domesticity
for the women and rob them of
their cause of complaint.
For, after all, marriage is no
picnic to a woman, and Just being
married to a man isn't all the
amusement she requires. Nor is
it exciting to spend all your even
ings sitting up looking at a man
who is as dumb as an oyster and
as unresponsive as a clam.
Matrimony needs some sort OF
outside amusement to cheer II
along. for both men and women.
