Eternal Conflict Between Sexes

with him, but what she doesn't like In
him are the faults of his sex. 1t shocks
and disgusts her that he wants to 60 to
prize fights, and likes to shoot things and
that he occasionally stays out too late
and drinks more than is good for him.
In a word, he isn't ladylike and con-
genial TO her.
And there are many men who object
to their wives on exactly the same
ground. They find fault with the ladies'
because they have the qualities of women
and not men.
For example. when q man derides his
wife for her ignorance and accuses her
of being a hare-brained idiot, II is al
ways because she doesn't know the
same line of things that he does, She may
be model housekeeper, q manager that
can get five times more out of dollar
than he can, and able to construct her
gowns and hats with skill that deceives
even her best friends into thinking they
are imported. But he considers her lack
ing in intelligence because she looks
blank when he talks about a holding
pool. or about underwriting a new bond

Rockefellers If they were put TO It TO
work out cut paper pattern that any
little girl can do with one hand tied be-
hind her!
Probably every man secretly regards
himself as a martyr and thinks he must
be married to the most extravagapt
woman on earth when he il called upon
to pay her millinery bills. To him that
seems money wasted-absolutely thrown
away-yet very few women spend as
much on their clothes as their husbands
do on drinks and smokes.
1t Is literally true that what the aver
age man dislikes IN his wife are the
faults Of her sex. He disiikea her fierce
| possession Of him that makes her tyran-
! nize over him for fear somebody will get
him away from her He dislikes her lack
of promptness and decision of character
/ He dislikes her ignorance OF the thing

things he wants because he has to pay
her bills and support a family.

Few Now Hear the Alpine Horn
Hnder Misses American Tourists
GARRETT p. sERVIss.

Enoireled by struggling armies. and
looking down upon new battlefields, the
Alps this summer have been virtually
forbidden ground for the throngs Of Wis
itors who ordinarily crowd the hotels OF
Switzerland. and swarm. alpenstook In
hand, through its rugged valleys and
over the lower slopes of its snowy peaks
The land Of William Tell with its lakes
and mountains, has been left TO its native
inhabitants, and deserted by foreigners
to degree never known since the Alps
became the playground OF Europe"
In these circumstances. the few who
have visited Switzerland this year, like
the man who made the accompanying
photograph OF the Alpine horn and its
blower at Grindelwald enjoy a strange
experience. The stage OF the great sum-
ner theater of natures spectacles lies
open before them. but the audience is
lacking. except for a handful Of loiter-
ers scattered among the deserted stalls,
who seem to have stumbled in after the
last play Of the season was finished to
catch sight only OF the bare scenery. with
here and there a belated actor looking
I'd his belongings.
The blower of the great Alpine cow
horn misses the thousands of American
tourists who used to crowd around him
10 wonder at the aerial music which he
awakened among the precipices and peaks
above. The walters and mattresses Of
the innumerable hotels with their Gus

tunes. are, many of them. attending the
cows now, carrying the milk. sweeping
the chalets. bearing loads Of Alpine
meadow hay on their backs and on carts
and making cheese; while the guides have
thrown aside their safety ropes and ice
axes and found more prosaic employ
ment than leading excitement-seekine
men and women over the crevasses ana
up the steep rocks.
The horn Of war has echoed among the
mighty monarchs of the realm OF eternal
ice. and they are left in their lonely
grandeur. All the climbers have fled at
the call and failed to return. Literally
thousands who were accustomed every
summer to brave the perils OF the high
Alps have gone to face more fearful dan
gers on the battlefield and in the
trenches.
The English were the first 10 make

all warning husbands and wives is not
due to the eternal conflict between the
sexes?
In this case the woman's grievance
against the man was not so much what
ne had done or left undone. but that he
was her husband. She chafed at her
bondage to him She rebelled at being
dependent upon him, and subject to his
Whirns and capf1ces. His society got upon
her nerves because she had IL I'm over

If he hadn't been her husband. IL he
had been q neighbor OF a guest she
would have liked him we'll enough.
Wife" and husband" are either the
sweetest words or the bitterest that We
ever take upon our tongues. and their
flavor depends not upon what the woman
OF man that We are united to may be. or
not. but upon our state OF mind
Many a woman hates a perfectly good
man for no reason on earth except that
he Is her husband. Many a man hates a
woman who is little short of angelic just
because she Is his wife, and that Is the
reason that so many married couples so
about with chips upon their shoulders
and pick quaIrels with each other on the
slightest pretense.
In reality these peoples grudge is not
against the individual to whom they are
united In the holy bonds OF wediock. II
is against matrimony a. an institution. It
is the sense Of bondage that they cannot
endure with patience, not the faults Of
a particular individual.
Also what many men and women object
90 In their wives and husbands IL not
some personally disagreeable quality, but
the peculiarities OF the opposite sex.
For instance, there are women whose
ideal OF a perfect husband lie a man who
neither drinks nor Ennokes nor uses any

who comes straighE home from the Of
