made no reply. She went, and since
he did not come for her she remained
at her friends all night She should
have gone home early the next day,
but instead spent the day and the night
with her mother. On returning the
next day she found her home deserted.
Here was a break between two per-
sons who. If they could have been pre-
pared for their parts, might have got
over this early married period, have
gradually become used to each other
and settled down into happy married
life. What a. contrast between this
antagonism and the mutual depend

For awhile Jim persuaded himself

Jim Hawks was an ironworker He
was twenty-five years old and had a
prospect of long life ahead. He was
a hard worker and very saving, his
idea being to get a nest egg-for ma
ture leads us all to build nests, and
man can't do it as the birds do, by
getting together few straws and 9th
er such material. He must have mon
ey to pay for his doniciIe.
Young persons-very young persons
don't look upon matrimony with the
Amfsgivings of their elders. Jim's idea
Of home was a comfortable house
with very nice wife in it, or at least
suit of rooms. He was to own the
house and the wife and the furniture.
The wife was to be there to minister
to his wants and comforts
Jennie Owens was the daughter of
widow. Jennie was twenty years
old. She was a high school graduate
and aimed partly to support herself
and her mother, who had a little in
come, by stenography and typewrit-
Ing. But Jim Hawks came along.
talked very sweetly to her and In time
induced her to marry him. Both want
ed home; both wanted to fulfill the
destiny nature intended for them.
This was all very well, but neither
had been educated to matrimony.
Jim had his preeonceived notions of
what his wife should be to him, and
she had her preconceived notions of
what he should be to her. As soon as
the honeymoon ended these preconceiv-
ed notions began to clash. Jim's habit
OF saving money did not grow less with
| two to provide for. He kept control of
the cash and pinched his wife for
small expenditures. He had not been
| used to considering the requirements
OF any one except himself and needed
practice to become used to considering
those of another He was not exactly
what his wife expected to find him,
and she thought that in certain re-
spects she might make him over. She
remained in their three rooms all day
and when evening came needed a
change of scene. to say nothing of
/ recreation. Jim worked hard all day
and when evening came desired to
rest. Besides, going out required some
/ expenditure. If only car fare. And
when 1t was necessary to spend money
he was used to spending it on himself.
These things caused scraps, and the
scraps gradually grew to be quarreIs.
Jennie usually had the right of the
question, but did not know how to use
1t SO as to impress her husband that
he was in the wrong. While he was
wrong in trying to dominate her. she
acted intellectually.
/ One evening Jennie desired Jim to go
with her to an evening party given by
one of her friends. Jim wouldn't go.
