Marriage VS.. Common Sense.

So many women are annoyed and
displeased If their husbands even dare
to suggest fishing, hunting, skating
or skiing trip, with the boys" II
they did but realize it, these little
separations do more to make home
dearer. Short vacations away from
each other make husband and wife all
the more appreciative OF the others
good qualities.
So don't frown on your husband 8
desire to leave you for a short time.
In fact, II he does not express any
wish to leave you, you should pack up
and leave him for a short visit to
friends or relatives. These short sepa-
rations tend to a long union, while too
much and too constant propinquity
tends to long separation. Especially
If you feel any signs of a strained at
mosphere between you both, il there
is formal politeness. or a disposition
to snap at each other, you may know
that il is time for one of you to 90
visiting for the good of your marital
relations.
When common sense and good rea-
son live in the same house with a hus-
band and wife, dissension does not as
a rule get chance to raise its head.
