John g,Irgle his coffee behind his paper
so many mornings that her ear doesn''
register the familiar sound.
We often wonder how n man can en-
dure to live with a fretty, hagg,ng wife,
who complains about the same things
every dav, and who warns him every
morning when he goes out not 10 be nun
over by the street car, and to take his
umbrella, and to wear his over shoes, OF
10 be sure 10 walk on the shady side OF the
street. We marvel that womsn does not
commit suicide who has 70 endure hus-
band who spends his time monologuing
about how wonderful and great he Is.
The reason Is that these husbands and
wives are so accustomed to each other
that they have ceased to notice each
other or listen to each other, and their
s@fvation lies in their never being separ-
ated long enough TO get a good clear
view of each other. Absence is fatal
| 70 them because when they come to-
gether again they sec each other as
| thev are, and without any of the soften
ing veil of romance through which they
| beheid each other in their youth.
1t is as disillusionipg to go back to
yglr own family after a long absence as II
is TO 20 back home, and just as the one
recipe for being contented In the village
in which you were bonn, or on the OLD
/ farm. is never TO leave it, so the only
way TO keep the fires burning on the
altar of love is TO stay and tend the
| furnace
! We never stav still. As long as We
live we either grow and improve, or We
shrink and deteriorste, and if a husband
and wife hope TO keep together spiritually
they must be shaped by the same environ
ment, and this is why those who risk
long separation jeopardize their love
The man who roams far afield, who
has strange adventures, and broadens
and polishes, through contact with the
world cannot help but grow away from
the little provincial wife he has left
behind him. And likewise, she Is weaned
from him, and he becomes stranger to
all her modes of thought.
When they meet, they have nothing
! in common. They are as constrained
and as dumb with each other as we are
when we meet our old school fellow and
/ find that we cannot take up again the
old intimacy.
Yet, husbands and wives get on each
others nerves when they are con-
tinually together They talk out, and
get to boring each other, and even the
most devoted couples find that they art
happier end better for an occasional va.
cation from each other.
| All Of which seems to indicate that
absence is like certain patent medicines
curative in broken doses, deadly in big
ones, and should be taken with dis
cretion.

WHY?
Why is an Unfeunded Report Called
a .Canard?-
CoD nsnt. 1920. by
Wh1.er Syndicate. Inc.


Even when we remember that
-canard" is French for duck" we
do not appear to be much closer to the
answer Of this question, for the CON
nectfon between a duck and a hoax
Of a baseless rumor is far from ap-
parent. Behind the word, however.
there hes an interesting story which
throws light upon what appears 10 be
A serious discrepancy in meaning.
In order to ridicule the growing ex-
travagance in printed reports ap-
pearing in the newspapers, an Eng
lish journalist during the early part
OF the last century wrote an article
purporting to give the details of a
French experiment which had been
&C nducted TO prove the extraordinary
voracity of ducks. Twenty of these
birds were supposed TO have been
placed together and one of them hav-
ing been killed and cut up into small
pieces, the other nineteen were re-
ported to have eaten him, feathers
and all Another was then taken from
the nineteen. killed. chopped up and
fed TO the remaining eighteen, and 50
on until only one was left, which was
then in the position Of having eaten
az the rest of the flock.
Instead Of arousing the laughter
which the author expected, the story
went the rounds of the European press
and was even reprinted, years later,
ii AmeY-ica-thus giving rise TO the
custom Of using "canard" as a syn
onym for hoax" or unfounded report.

The war. which Knocked most of oar
fondest faiths galley west, seems 10 have
played hob with the cheerful theory
that Absence makes the heart grow
fonder."
The divorce courts Of both England
and the United States have sent ont
s. o. s. call for help. They report that
they are overwhelmed with business
and that never in the history OF the
world, were there 80 many men and
women frsntically seeking TO break thsnr
matrimonial bonds, and they further
state that in thrce-fourths Of the cascs
the people who de>ire divorces have no
real grievance against the ones 10 whom
they are married. They frankly state
that during the time that the man was
away in the army, their affection for each
other perished, and they now ind life
together uncomfortable.
1t was TO be expected that the great
majority of war brides would become
peace divorces. because marriages that
were entered iato on the spur of an emo
tional moment, when girls married any
thing that looked good IN khskI, or be-
cause they were romantic, or adven-
t,Irous, or a varicious, had no element
OF stability in them. But il is surprising
and disheartening 20 find that the sra
soned matrimonial timber, 80 to speak, !,
also broke under the strain of absence.
For it would seem that the situation
would tend to draw husband and wife
together, and 10 call out In each all that
there was of love and loyalty. The
mans danger, his courage, his response
70 his country's need-one would think
that this would thrill woman's heart
with pride in her man and keep her heart
centered on him. The wife ~ home who
represented all that man was fighting
for and risking his life for-one would
think that she would be the load star that
would draw her husband every thought
20 her and home.
Perhaps this was generally true dur
ing the time of actual peril but when the
war was over, and the man returned
home. and the husband and wife tried
TO take up their every day life together,
they found out that something insidious,
intangible bad happened TO them. They
had somehow lost step and they couldn't t
catch it again. They knew not how,
or why, but they did not 6t in their old
places
The truth was. that absence had done
its deadly work. They had grown in
different directions, and undoubtedly, in
addition TO the multitude Of weak
brothers and sisters who are clamonng
for divorce because they were alienatsd
from each other by the separation Of the
war, there are Thousands OF couples who
are now stoically bearing the misery
of a mismated marriage, who would
have rocked along in commonplace COM
fcrt if they had never been parted.
Nor is this hard TO understand We
get the habit of the people with whom
we live We are too close to them 20 get
a perspective on their little WAYS end
