Mrs. Wilson Woodrow Writes
On Love Affairs

you in regard to the very interest
ing subject of marriage, although
to cover fully the different ques-
tions which come up under this
heading would take more space
than the whole front page of a
newspaper. Your replies 70 a
number Of your correspondents
deal fairly well with certain
phases of the topic; but there are
others which you have left unan-
swered. Probably it is as difficult
for woman to understand a
mans mind when it comes to
matrimony as it is for a man to
understand a woman.
"There are 80 per cent less men
being married today than there
were fifty years ago, and the di-
rect and unquestionable cause Of
this lies in the prevailing living
conditions.
"Take my own case for ex-
ample: / am madly in love with a
girl who would marry me tomor-
row if / should request it. But /
cannot afford marriage as it is un-
derstood today. And l love the
girl too much to ask her to share
what would amount to genteel pow
erty.
"Should l marry, l would want
to supply my wife with the same
amusements and luxuries that are
enjoyed by the othe married
women of her acquaintance. I
would not want her to have a sim
gle desire ungratified.
Il believe, moreover, that any
man who marries without suffi-
cient income to maintain his wife
on an equal footing with the other
women of the set in which she
moves is doing an injustice both
to himself and to the girl he loves.
And it is this which prevents many
other young men from marrying.
Frankly, have a hard time to
keep myself as I'd like to. It
seems better to me to take my
sweetheart on an outing two or
three times a week and thereby
enjoy her society to a limited ex-
tent, rather than marry her and
plunge US both into a sea of pow
erty and discomfort. It is on be-
half Of the many heartbroken
young girls who are in the same
plight as my sweetheart, that /
have written you.
"A LOVER IN VAIN"
So, there, you see. Both my
correspondents have blessings In
plenty. The one, it is to be as
sumed, has money and success;
the other the love Of the woman
to whom he has given his heart.
But because they lack the one
thing on which their minds are
set, they are miserable.
AS for the Lover in Vain" he is
a faint-heart. He stands at the
crossroads unable to make up his
mind which path to take. He pleads
that It would be an injustice both
to himself and his sweetheart for
them to marry In his present cir
cumstances.
All. Lover in Vain" where is
your faith in yourself? Where is
your faith in the future? You have
raised up a lot of bugaboos. And
bugaboos are all that stand be-
tween rs and the achievement Of
any hoDA - aspiration. or ideal

Elizabeth Jordan Talks On
Nagging Wives

Dear Miss Jordan:
Your article on Bad Tempers
was f1ne-but there are two sides
to the question. Won't you kindly
write on the bad tempers OF
wives, and on nagging wives, and
oblige,
A SUFFERING HUSBAND
(who Is meekness personihed).
TIME foregoing pathetic let
ter comes from Boston. l
have also received great
number of letters on the same sub
ject, and equally pathetic, from
husbands in many other cities.
No man who has written me de-
nies that a "quick temper" in the
head of the house is a bad thing.
But each man gently and firmly
calls my attention to the fact that
bad tempers are not exclusively
confined to husbands.
admit this freely and with the
cheerfulness with which we all ad-
nit the failings of others. Then |
hasten to bring forth the heavy
artillery that supported my first
position. 1t is this:
When a man is ill-tempered and
chooses to bring his ill-temper
home to his family it is almost i'm
possible for that family to escape
that ill-temper. 1t permeates the
house like an atmosphere, and the
mans wife and children cannot
get away from it.
When a woman is ill-tempered
her husband has a quick and GER
tain means of escape. All he has
to do is to put on his hat and go
out. For wife to put on her hat
and go out is a very different
proposition.
She has the children to think of
and the preparation or supervision
of the meal for which the husband
has just returned. She is, so to
speak, on the burning deck, and
she has to stay right there until
her duty is done.
That is where the husband has
his great advantage. That is
hHcEc Tie bITCIRLH VI bllC "l1C
position lies in her weakness. She
forces him into a corner and he
escapes. He forces her into a cor
ned and she cannot escape. In
taking advantage OF this scknowl-
edged fact, he stamps himself a
bully.
All this being so, it is also fact
that we have with US in American
homes a certain number of nag
ging wives, ill-tempered wives,
peevish, complaining, and fault
finding wives.
Their husbands are unfortunate.
The wives are equally unfortunate.
Like the bad-tempered husbands,
they bring retribution upon them
5elves. They lose the love of
their families. They have to live
with and endure themselves-and
this is the greatest penalty of all.
The cause of their nagging is,
occasionally, the husband who is
its victim. He is perhaps selfish,
obtuse, and neglectful. He has Bit
terly disappointed the woman who
married him and she, because she
will not or connot help it, takes
out" her disappointment on him.

We strive and strive for the unat-
tainable and feel that we won't be
happy until we get it. Eternally
we try to put salt on the tail of the
bluebird; but eternally it fits just
ahead of US.
For example, ! have two letters
lying before me from two men.
They are a direct contrast. Each
man desires to marry. But one,
although he has every other
requisite, is unable to find a suit
able girl, while the other has the
girl, but lacks what he considers
the other thing needful.
Here is No. 4:
81 take issue with the statement
made in a letter from a young
lady, which you recently published;
that men prefer to marry some
selfish, helpless creature rather
than a real woman. The trouble
is, that the selfish, helpless kind
are so much easier to meet and
get acquainted with; and propin-
duity and association do the rest
The so-called real women'-the
capable, efficient sort-are usually
a little cool and distant.
an the Southwest, where ! come
from, there are hundreds Of men
like myself eager TO get married
and fully able to assume the re-
sponsibilities, but who are almost
in despair over the hope Of ever
finding a real helpmeet.
"They do not want a selfish,
helpless creature but a partner
who will help them to succeed and
Join hands with them in building
a home. The woman with a busi-
ness experience and a practical
knowledge Of life would seem the
ideal type Of wife for these prac-
teal men. But when We search
IN the ranks Of business women,
We are met with such curtness and
indifference, that one would az
soon think Of making love to an
adding-machine as to one Of
them"
Contrariwise, here is the lament

}. B. {. DEFEATS
NOMAD PLAYERS
IN VOLLEYBALL

Last night at Anterior Hall the P.
B. C.. and the Nomads met in their
first volleyball game and the P. B. c.
team won two out of three. They won
the first set Is to IL, they lost the
next s to Is, and won the last, Is to 8.
This is the second volley ball game
that the P. B. c. club has played with
an outside organization and they are
surely making good. Over confidence
may have had a great deal to do with
the downfall Of Nomads, who did not
begin to play anything near to form
except In the second set.
Enthusiasm ran high In the last set
with the score one a., ana Lnen t.
Homads made two, giving them the
lead which was later tied. The 40
MAIDS again forged one ahead but the
p. B. c. tied it up again and then
took the lead and from then on were
never headed.
Phillips and Ferriera played a fine
game for the +. B. c. and their excel
lent serving coupled with fast team
play was a big factor in bringing the
victory to the P. B. C. club. Anahu
played a fine game In the first and
last set but In the second he played
like fish, missing three straight easy
serves to him and making in all five
errors. In the last set Anahu more
than made up for this as he handled
three almost impossible serves at
critical time when both teams were
running neck and neck.
For the Nomads Westgate, Brawley
and johnson played the best game
but the team sorely missed their cap
tain, Ralph Taylor, who was unable
to play and who promises to be on
the firing line next Wednesday when
the Nomads meet the fast Palama
squad at Palama Hall. Linesmen-
Ralph Taylor and Waiter Saffrey. Ref
