THE ATTRACTION OF OPPOSITES
BY DOROTHY DIX
THE WORLDS HIGHEST PAID WOMAN WRITER

, to believe IL the proper way for wom-
er to act and feel. and they expect to
live In peace and happiness with
them.
Furthermore, they dump these new
wives. who have not Q single senti-
ment or desire In common with their
mothers and sisters, or their families
and expect them to amalgamate into
a loving family circle.
People wonder at the internecine
warfare that goes on between in-laws.
When you observe the fatal surety
with which a man picks out for a
wife girl whose every characteristic
Is as antagonistic to his mother and
sisters as red rag is to . mad bull.
the wonder Is that in-laws get alone
together as well as they DO.
Also when you reflect that q man
practically never changes to his
wife's point OF view. but holds to
the theories In which he has been
bred concerning women and their ap.
pointed place In creation, It 10 q
marvel that there are % few d.
vorces.
OF course, behind this apparently
vagary OF the masculine temperament
that makes q man choose for a wife
| . woman who Is the direct opposite
OF his mother and sisters, there IL q
|, great biological principle. It is ma
ture trying to hold the scales even,
and strike q good general average
to keep US from rearing q race OF
supermen and women on one hand,
and utter detectives on the other.
1t Is the same instinct that makes
J the big man chose the little woman
for a wife. and that draws blondes
and brunettes together. II all the
big people married big people. and
the little people married little peo-
pie, the world would be divided be-
tween the giants and the pigmies. II
the Intellectual men only married
intellectual women, ana the thrifty
men married thrifty women, and the
men and women who are silly and
highty and spenders married each
other, certain families would soon
have a monopoly Of all the brains
and money. while the balance of
humanity would land in the pool
house or the home for congenital i'm
beetles.
1t is nature whose care Is all for
the race and none for the Individual
that Is at the bottom Of the attrac-
ton Of opposites, and Of most matri-
monial misery. for the pity about the
attraction Of opposites is that II only
lasts until 1t has landed its victim,
tied hard and fast. in the midst OF
an uncongenial marriage.
For the attraction Of opposites
does not last 1t Is merely q tenn
porary fascination, a piquant cur
iosity that dies as soon as it is
satiated. 1t draws people together,
and then It repulses them with q
force equal to its first attraction.
The only bond that binds us to
another with a cord that can never

whose society we never tire. the
people who never get on our nerves.
are those with whom we are In per-
feet sympathy. who think as we
think. who believe as we believe.
who have the same ideals. the same
enthusiasm. the same antIpathiea
This IL true OF all human asso-
Citations. and II Is particularly true
OF marriage. II Is possible for Q
man and Q woman to have q great
passion for each other. to love each
other hercely and madly SO that
either would die for the o.l-r. Ind
yet at the same time. for them to be
so antagonistic in temper and char
acter that they live wretchedly to-
gether.
Only those married couples are
happy who are in perfect sympathy
with each other. who are on the
same mental plane. who are OF the
same social strata, and who have
been brought UP in the same man
ner. They alone understand each
other. They alone can chum to-
gether. They have happiness even II
It is at the expense OF their children.
This Is why q man seldom wants
to marry the girl his mother picks
out for him because she Is SO like
his sisters. But he IL pretty sure to
find marriage a success II he does.

Why do men, when they marry. al
most invariably pick out for wives
women who are as different a. pos
sible from their mothers and sistersH
They do, you know. and that Is
the real reason why mans wife and
his female relations usually get along
together about as harmoniously as q
bunch OF Kilkenny Cats.
And the queer part Of this is that
a mans ideals Of what woman
should be are invariably founded on
the women In the shadow of whose
petticoats he was brought up, and
no matter how much he may be fas-
ctnated by any woman, or how much
he may love her. he will st!ll subcon-
sciously measure her by the yard
stick that the women Of his own
family put into his hand In his child
hood. Mothers pies and mothers
precepts remain his standards as long
as he lives. and all other pies and
precepts are good or bad. according to
their agreement with the ones on
which he cut his teeth.
This being the case, 1t would seem
that when a man went ACQUIRING he
would choose for a wife a girl who
was a. nearly a dead ringer for his
sisters as he could find, and that, in
particular. he would select one who
hac been reared In the same ortho-
doxy as his sisters.
One would think that II a man was
accustomed to the society Of a mother
and sisters who took serious views
OF life. who read improving books
ard attended symphony concerts end
generally lived the higher life, that
he would select his mate from the
ranks OF the college graduates who
are entitled to string half the letters
OF the alphabet after their names
and who are fitted to tread the intel
lectual heights with their husbands,
onc Keep him keyed up to his best.
BUT while the brainy type OF woman
VIII always be such a mans ideal,
when he marries he generally goes out
or his way to pick out a little fluffy
ruffles kind Of a girl, with a dimple
in her chin, and large, calm, calf-like
eyes without a gleam of intelligence
In them, who doesn't know whether
Sudermann is somebdy who wrote a
book or a new brand of condensed
milk, and whose conversational reper-
toire consists of ''he saids." and she
saids," and Il saids," and giggles,
II man has been reared in the gos-
pei OF domesticity. and to believe that
the chief end of woman is to be a
good cook and housekeeper, and to
practice thrift and economy so that
the men of her family shall be made
comfortable and become rich, you
would think that he would choose a
wife from among the maidens who
are prize cake bakers, and who make
their own dresses and trim their own
hats and wear hole-proof cotton
stockings instead OF gossamer silk
ones.
But does he? He does not? To his
DYING day mis- mental picture of the
perfect woman will be a lady with
an apron on and a darning bag in her
lap, but when he falls in love It Is not
with the model Of household virtues
but with a living fashion plate who
can not boil water without scorchjng

made to spend instead OF being depos-
tied In the savings bank.
And these men marry these woman

According to astrology this is an
unlucky day. Although Mercury is
in benefc aspect. Neptune. Uranus.
Venus and Saturn are all adverse.
1t Is an unfavorable rule for ma
val matters or for commerce.
Trouble among sailors is indicat-
ed. This may mean that secret in
fiuences are at work.
Neptune in evil place IL believed
to indicate secret Vaccinations of
enemies and the seers warn against
spies who will be active in places
not suspected.
One of the effects Of this sway of
Neptune IL to make innocent per-
sons appear guilty when the guilty
are unsuspected.
This Is not a favorable rule for
hotels or restaurants, for theaters
or other amusements.
Actresses should be especially
careful during this direction of
Venus. which inclines to disappoint-
ments.
The signs are not auspiclous for
lovers. 1t Is not q lucky wedding
day.
Women should be cautious. espe-
cially in business matters while this
configuration prevails.
The stars seem to presage much,
gossip. Astrologers warn that evil
report will be prevalent and that It
will concern affairs of supreme i'm
portance.
Under this sway there NAV be
some sort of excitement over cop
per. Other metals will be much dis
cussed in their relation to govern
ment needs.
The West will benefit greatly
through important mineral discov-
cries. Arizona Is subject to a BEN
ehcial sway of the stars.
Hospitals in the United State,

ing is given that enemy influences
will be at work in them. -.
Persons whose birthdate IL is

They should be on the watch for
false friends.
Children born this day will be ac-
tive and energetic. but they NAV

ance fourth man grabbed the officer.
He was certainly sorry later that he
interfered. He had not taken into
calculation the traditional zeal of the
neophyte. The cop was brand new at
this game and he acted with the zeal
Of beginner. He swung his trusted
war club with such vim onto the head
of the man who interfered that later a
surgeon had TO put half dozen stitches
in his scalp. The four were landed in
Jail, and sadder, wiser and soberer
youths Monday morning they each paid
one dollar and costs.
