The Daily
Editorial.
For Women
What Do You Read?
By BETH JEFFRIES.

Some of the troubles of married life
cannot be eradicated, hut few of them
can be changed, and some of them even
be made to disappear If wives only re-
allied the value of being able to con-
verse intelligently with their husbands.
The seat of the cause of many an un-
happy marriage Is due to the fact that
after two years or even one year of
married life, the woman has talked
herself out" She has no more new
ideas, nothing new to say, and the hus-
band, thrown daily In contact with the
affairs of his outside world. be they
great or small. naturally turns to his
own sex or some member Of the fairer
sex. who is better equipped to talk with
him.
All women are more or less tied down
to their homes. they are unable to go
out and get fresh views on the moving
world, and their only hope lies in bring
ing the outside world to the home. This
can be largely done by careful reading.
Instead of the useless novels, the silly
trash that fills some of the cheaper peri
odicals she could spend her time to bet
ter advantage by going back to the
older authors. At the very least she
should read one daily local paper, and
one paper from out of town.
At first some of the matter would be
Greek to her. but after time she
would find that the words had pith
and meaning to her. As far as Dickens
Stevenson, Poe, BalZac, and others go,
the question is a trifie more difficult,
for the woman who Is fed on, silly love
hard subject. She does not even see
the use in reading such authors. She
does not seem to realize that human
beings are human beings the world
over. and that any excursion into the
realm of things other than that to
which she is accustomed. is little diff
ferent. Most women after several years
of married life completely forget the
aims and ideals of their girlhood. They
sink their entity in their families. and
seem to think that 1t is right and just
for them to lay aside all girlhood.
But 1t was perhaps the fascination
of that very girlhood, with Its small
wishes, its fresh outlook on life and
the desire to learn and see that at
tracted the man who became the hus-
band.
Reach back, you who have become
a mere housekeeper, try and recall some
of the wishes of your girlhood, and see
IL you cannot sandwich them into your
present life. Perhaps you wanted to
study French. perhaps you loved to
read and never had the time with your
studies eep good books about you
for your spare moments, and do not
count the time as lost which you spend
buried in a favorite story!
For even IL you n no picture, even
II the characters not re-appear to
you in your own ifa. the poise and
comfort gained by thus indulging your
self will give you the strength to keep
from slapping Johnnie, or enable you
to meet your troubles with mental per-
spective and Judgment Surely 1t will
give you something new to think about
and talk over with your husband III
your evenings with husband are dull,
cast about, do some collateral read
ing, and get a new line of conversation.
If you are a wise wife you will try
and hit upon that which you know to
be of interest to your husband.
