How Much Liberty Should Husbands and
Wives Allow Each Other.
BY DOROTHY DIX IS
THE WORLDS HoHEsr PAID WOMAN WRITER

ach. and cigars are bad for hia
nerves, and that it's a waste Ct
money to take pictures and buy first
editions when you can buy perfectly
stunning sport suits with the same
money. But the point. 10 that the
married man 10 no longer a free
agent. He sold himself into bondage
at the altar.
The queer part Of the whole AFFAIR
Is that IN exercising this tyranny
over each other, married people forget
that beyond the love OF man for wo-
man Is the passion for personal lib
erty. II is the one thing tho whole
human race has been struggling and
| fighting for since the very dawn OF
civilization. 1t Is the thing that men
have died for and frail women have
been burnt at the stake for. II Is the
principle for whose sake the whole
world is being drenched in blood right
now.
Take this away from an individual
and you leave nothing else worth
living for. Without freedom a pal.
ace becomes q penitentiary, none,
powerless to purchase pleasure, the
whole world cinders, ashes and dust
Every man and woman knows that
this Is true in their own case, and
yet each man and woman think.
, that he or she can deprive the un.
fortunate creature who is married
to him or her of his or her liberty.
and atone for II by claiming that
the crime was committed through
love.
Undoubtedly there Is no Other
one single thing that is provoca.
tive Of so much domestic misery q;
the ref sal Of husbands and wives &c
give each other a reasonable amount
of personal liberty. It is the cause
Of endless friction in the family
circle, Of fierce rebellion an dde-
ceit. Also IL keeps young people
out Of the holy estate. and make
ones latch key look better than =
wedding ring to them.
Furthermore, in refusing each
other any liberty married couples
overlook the fact that stolen waters
are sweet, and that there is nothing
that we want to do so much as the
thing we are, not permitted to do
Lock the door and the poorest spir-
tied man ana woman will break
their necks to climb over the tran.
som to get out Leave the dooi
open and they will not trouble tc
walk out of 1t.
And it is also worth bearing ir
mind that there is no record of pris.
ohers loving their jailers.

1T was not that you showed your
disappointment, Jim, but the way
you showed 1t was so characteristic
of so many men know that I could
not help teasing you q little.
You see, Jim. ] have never yet
seen a man, including yourself, who
has not felt at perfect liberty to act
out his feelings at all times when
no one but those he loves arS
around"
Jim looked very strangely when
said this and l Immediately felt
the color coming up to my cheeks,
and then I simply said: You know,
Jim, that you took me into your
heart Just as you did Dick" r.
mo. Margie. not just as did
Dick. for you were q woman and
Dick was a man."
"T never could see you make any
difference" and then all at once

said triumphantly..
Jim looked completely mystified.
well here 1t is, Jim," explained.
For some silly thing. you are put
out with me or with yourself, or
with life tonight. and you are TAX
ing 1t out of me-
Jim held UP his hand depreci-
atingIy.
Yes, you are being disagreeable,
old friend, and l Just want you to
be honest for once--honest 10 me
and to yourself--and tell me this.
Would you act so gloomy if for any
reason you felt out of sorts II there
was no woman around?'
will say this for Jim, little book,
when he is cornered. he gives up as
gracefully, as possible.
"Weli"--he hesitated q moment
and then said: Well, I wanted TO
talk TO You all by myself tonight,
and when get over here I find you
have forgotten all about Inviting
me over and that you have arranged
to havea a houseful OF frivolous folks
over here"
Now. look here. Jim, ! did not
forget about you In the least; in
fact. Il was because you were com
ing that welcomed the visit Of
