Before Marriage and After.
BY DOROTHY DIX.
The Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.

A woman who is being sued by
her husband for divorce writes him
a letter in which she expresses the
wish that they could go back to
the good old times before they were
married" She says in the letter:
There is nothing l would love
more than to have you for friend,
who would take me to a show once
in a while, write me a card on
Christmas and my birthday. and do
as you used to do before we were
married.
''Send me flowers and candy, and
call me up and ask how my cold
was coming on. and if my toe still
hurts where you stepped on it. and
waste two hours telling me how
sorry you are. and I waste another
hour kissing you, and telling you
you are the dearest boy in the
world.
Then you would be so tickled
you would send me dozen of the
prettiest roses you could buy, and
1 would be so happy to have you
think such lot of me, and I would
tell you nobody was as good as
you-some air castles that might
have been true had you tried lit
tle."
Perhaps the whole psychology OF
marriage and why it is so often a
failure-a man made failure and a
woman made failure-was never
better illustrated than in this fool
ish letter. First you have the mans
failure to realize how big part little
things play in a woman's life, and
how large sentiment looms on her
horizon.
This woman. and she is a type who
represents millions of her sex, pine
for the little attentions. the little
pleasures, the little touches of ro-
mance-the hox Of candy, the red, red
rose. and the telephone call-that her
husband accustomed her to in the
days Of courtship, and that she fatu-
ously believed would still be per-
quisite of matrimouy.
With the husband, as with men gem
orally, winning woman was one
thing. Keeping her heart was an
other. He saw no reason to keep rum

Of candy brought home to wives, and
fewer husbands called upon to pay ALI
mony.
The man in this case failed as q
husband, because he was not senti-
mental enough, because he neglected
to give his wife the little things she
craved, and pay her the little atten-
tions she yearned for.
The woman failed because she was
overly sentimental She demanded
too much of her husband, and want
ed TO play too much.
After all. marriage is marriage and
not courtship. 1t is the real business
Of life, not its romance. 1t means
work. self-sacrifice, a brave facing of
homely everyday duties. not flowers
and candy, matinees and little sup
pers.
1t is eternally true that you cannot
eat your cake and have 1t too. and
the woman who marries, and gets a
husband, and a home, must realize
that when she does that she must
forego the joys OF courtship.
II she has any intelligence she must
know that a beefsteak is Just as true
an expression OF a mans thought and
affection for a woman as a bunch of
orchids Is, and that the devotion that
expresses itself in toiling twelve
hours a day to keep a wife soft and
comfortable is more eloquent than
all the impassioned vows ever sworn
by any poetic lover.
After marriage 1t is deeds, not words.
that count. Talk Is cheap. but the
affection that expresses itself in hump
and hustle so that q man may lay at
his wife's feet the luxuries that all
|, women crave is the final proof OF real
love.
Yet II Is one of the idiosyncrasies
OF the feminine sex that women,
who have this ultimate proof of de-
votion offered to them every day,
are too dull and stupid to appreciate
it. They have no appetite for the
wholesome bread and butter OF an
unspectacular and unromantic af-
lection. They want the gilt ginger
bread Of fattery. and they turn
from some man who works himself
| to death to provide them with cakes
and ale, and fine clothes, to some
glib talker who writes sonnets to
their eyebrows, and who would
starve them rather than sacrifice
| his own ease and comfort for them
The husband whose wife complains
that he doesn't bring her flowers anc
| candy as he did in the days of court
ship, or take her about to as many
places Of amusement, may well reply
that he didn't have to support hel
in those days either, and that he
could corner the flower and candy
markets on her board bill and shop
ping ticket, and buy her a perpetual
! seat in the theater for the price Of her
Doctors bills.
Undoubtedly men put too little
stress on romance and sentiment In
matrimony. Women put too much
emphasis on II. 1t Is only when they
strike the happy medium. and put
just enough sentiment into everyday
life to make it sweet that matrimony
Is a success.
But as to living matrimony on 9
courtship platform. that is impossible
Neither nations nor individuals car
ever go back to the status dui anti.

up on the telephone when she knows
perfectly well that you are hard at

hours since you gave her her break
fast bacon-and-eggs kiss?
So reasoned this man. So reason

six months or a year of billing and

herself dumped down with cold,
