SEES FRICTION IN PRoPINQUITY

Editor Review:


 Editor Review:
 Tn my opinion, the Ideal Husband will not hold the wife too close to the house, or give her an overdose of his own society. Propinquity, too many hours a day, and extended over too many successive years, must inevit- ably destroy the glamor of romance which shed it's light on the period of courtshiD, and produce an unpleasant reaction in both husband and wife. The Ideal Husband is the wise hus- band in that he sees this danger in too much propinquity He allows his pleasures pursued exclusively in the society of women, and he in turn has his entirely masculine pleasures into which his wife does not intrude. ] have no patience with the wife who wants to be everywhere her husband is, any more than I have any patience with the husband who noses into everything his wife does. Let each take ar occasional trip apart, and the joy of re-meeting will keep their love ever young and novel. Of course, such a married life presupposes abso- lute trust and confidence on both sides; but a man and woman who can not trust each other implicitly have no business to get married.
