Why Some Men Don't Worry
By DOROTHY DIX
TIE WORLDS HIGHEST PAID WOMAN WRITER

A very prominent and successful
physician of this city was asked the
other day why he had never mar
ried.
Because of the awful warnings
against matrimony that / have seen
in the practice OF my profession" he
replied. especially among doctors,
who seem to have a deadly i'll luck
in drawing jealous women for wives.
"I have seen too many men work.
ing themselves to death in a vain
effort to keep up with their wives
extravaganza. l have tried to patch
up too many men who have been
nagged into nervous prostration by
peevish and discontented wives.
have seen too many of my brethren
hampered and held back from the
careers they were fitted to fill by
suspicious and jealous wives who re-
garded every female patient Is
rival.
"Of course. l have wanted a home.
OF course. I should have liked to
have had wife and children If l
could have been certain that / would
have gotten wife who would have
been a help instead of a hindrancs.
But there is no magic that you can
apply to a girl before you marry her
that will enable you to tell what
sort of a wife she will make, SO l
was afraid to take the risk.
Il had my work 20 do in the
world and l felt that ! could not do
it properly unless I had time and
peace in which to study and mind
unvexed by domestic worries. How
is a doctor going to keep up with
his profession IL he is married to a
woman who weeps because she is
neglected every time he takes up d
book at home? Yet I know a doctor
who has that kind of a wife-and
he's slipping back every year. How
is a surgeon going to have a steady
hand for an operation II he comes to
it with his nerves ap tangled from
a scene with his wire? Yet l know
plenty of surgeons who are handi-
capped that way, too.
women are always wondering why
men don't marry. If they would look
about them they would see it is the
awful warnings against matrimony
they themselves hang out that Scares
off all but the foolhardy."
Fortunately. there is a cherrier view
Of the holy estate than this physician
gives. Not all marriages are unhappy
There are women who make men as
well as women who mar them. There
are wives who boost their husbands
Up into success as well as wives who
pull their husbands down into failure.
But this doctors words should make
every married woman ask herself
whether she is a help or hindrance
to her husband.

HOROSCOPE.
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1911

Venus and the Sun rule strongly this
day for good. Mars is in evil place.
1t would seem, from the reading
of the stars, that there is likely to be
military activity. Mars is in a place
making for conflicts, the marching of
soldiers and culminations of move
ment that bring about dramatic events.
Women should make the most of
their opportunities during this sway
of the stars, which promises much
to those who have ambitions.
1t is a fortunate rule for love af-
fairs, of which there will be many.
The Sun is in an. aspect that gives
encouragement to those who seek
place or position. Honors for women,
who will receive many important ap-
pointments, are foretold.
Contentious are foreshadowed for
bodies of legislators and public organ
izations. Congress will be the scene
of a sensational occurrence this month
the seers declare.
Again a change on the PreAident's
Cabinet is prophesied. This will be
subject to the stars now directing the
President, which are held to cause
surprises and sudden or unexpected
incidents.
This should be a favorable sway for
all social matters, foE theaters and for
entertainments of every, sort.
Astrologers foretell the introduction
Of new custom in the United States,
which will greatly benefit hotels, res
taurants and boarding places.
Cooperation in all lines of business
Will be encouraged by developments
in the national life.
Labor continues subject to planetary
government, making for many contests
and strikes, but steady progress to-
ward improved conditions.
There is a sign read as menacing to
selhshness, arrogance and greed for
power. whether in public or private
life.
Persons whose birthdate II is have
the augury of a year of success and
prosperity. Those who are employed
probably will be promoted.
Children born on this day are likely
to be steady and industrious. These
subjects of Aquarius usually have Wis
ion that aids them in winning sue
cess.

the time at the crisis is less and pain

The Washington herald., 1919-02-05

Women put such ficticious value on
love that they are apt to think that
they do their full duty by their hus-
bands if they love them enough.
More than that. A woman will excuse
the very sins against her husband
that ruin his life by her affection for
him. She even iustifes her jealousy
her nagginE and her refusal to let
him stir from her side on the ground
Of her devotion to him. Though her
hatred would do him less harm.
Now in n practical world the only
kind Of love that is worth a button
is the love that expre sses itself in
terms of service. It does not matter
to a man what the temperature OF
his wife's affection is if she is a drag
on his feet and blight to his career.
Probably every woman in the world
would like to help her husband il she
could, but when she thinks of help
ing him she thinks of presenting him
with a million dollars. or being some
romantic inspiration to him, and as
she can't do either of these things
she feels that there is nothing that
she can do for him She never thinks
of the little things that she can do.
and it's the little things that count,
and that the man needs.
The woman who is wasteful and
extravagant doesn't realize that she
is keeping her husband poor, but she
is. The garbage can and the old
clothes clio, stand between many a
man and fortune. His wife's thrift
lessness prevents him from even ac-
CumulatinC the ne@r egg that would
enable him to take advantage Of the
golden opportunity that comes his
way.
The woman who lives u7 to her
husbands income may write herself
down as hindrance to him. and one
of the women who keep bachelors
from marrying.
The woman who is peevish and dis
contented. and who makes OF her
home a place of discord diminishes
her husbands power of achieving
things by half. The man who starts
out to work with his mind full OF
domestic worries and bitterness that
he must put aside before he can give
his attention to his business or pro-
fession. has at least 80 per cent less
brain power. vitality. enthusiasm and
ambition than has the man who has
gone from a happy, contented home
and from a wife who was an inspira-
ton instead of a depressent.
In matrimony there is no middle
ground. A wife is either a blessing
or a curse. a help or a hindrance.
Which are you? Are you one of the
women who are a red lantern of
warning against matrimony to bach
elors, or a wife who makes them
think longingly of home, sweet home?

Keeps the Shaightest,
Unruliest Hair in Curl

You've never seen anything work
such wonders for straight. lank, Un-
ruly hair as plain LIQUID silmerine
Nothing else will keep the hair IN
curl for so long a time-nor produce
looking curls and waves. Damp or
windy weather has no terrors for the
woman who uses it. And no one need
hesitate to use it, for 1t is so easily
applied with a brush and is so per-
fectly harmless. 1t leaves no greasy,
sticky or streaky trace. The curliness
can be acquired in three hours, though
many prefer to apply the liquid at
bedtime. When the hair is combed
out it is delightfully."- soft and fluffy.
Any one who will get a bottle of
LIQUID silmerine from the druggist and
follow the accompanying directions
will have a most agreeable surprise.
The liquid is also valued as q splen-
