The matrimonial tragedy OF which
we hear the most is that of the de-
serted wife. who at middle age finds
that her husband has tired of her, and
is indifferent to her, even if he has
not wandered off after some younger
and fairer face.
We hear so much OF lonely wives.
and see so many married women
working with might and main TO keep
down their flesh, and keep up their
pep, in order TO retain their husbands
affections that we have fallen into
the way of thinking that matrimony
Is perpetual picnic TO women, and
that it is only men who find 1t a rainy
Sunday with relatives in the coun-
try.
We accept the fact that the years
bring disillusion 10 the man. We real
ize how the monotony Of domesticity
| gets on his nerves. and how he gets
sick and weary of seeing the same
face across the breakfast table from
him, and listening TO the same com
plants, and winding the same clock.
and putting the same key in the same

We can see how his passion could
cool off as his wife's beauty faded.
and her pecularities increased; how
familiarity could even blunt his per-
! ception Of her virtues, until the time
might come when all he could see in
her was just a homely. nagging wo-
man who sniffled when she talked.
and could never let anything rest.
Far otherwise is the popular con-
| ceptiop of the middle aged woman n.
| We picture her as sloshing over with
| romance TO her dying day. We see
her in an attitude of perpetual ador-
alton before her husband. who con-
tinues to be the hero of her girlish
dreams to the end. We never inn
agine her as growing tired of domestic
life, or as perceiving that husband has
gotten bald, and -windowed, and
prosy.
Men are especially committed tC
this view of a woman's heart being
a perpetual motion machine that
never runs down after IL is once put
in motion. Therefore a man never
loses any sleep over the problem Of
how to retain his wife's affections. H'

1t appears that there is some Sigh

MAKING THE HOUSE
COSY FOR WINTER

The woman who is a good home-maker
realizes that the house must be made
snug and cosy for winter, jyst rs il must
be cool and uncluttcrcd for summer. IL
is interesting 10 see how different women
obtain this result.
One housekcepcr ] know always puts
old-fashioned hassocks in her living room
during the cold months; she says that
the floors are apt to be draughty and
her husband feels warmer, anyway. II
he has his feet up on hassock while
reading in the evening.
Another Housekeeper Friend Of mine
insists that warm colors III room reds,
rich browns, and deep greens make one
feel warm on a cold day. Every Novcm-
Der she pastes red crepe paper lining
inside the china shade Of her living room
drop light. And, there is no doubt about
Il, the old-rose glow which this gives TO
her room seems warm in itself
Still another woman maintains that
nothing gives room n eosier, snugger
look than valanccs at the windows. u
think well all agree with her on that
score). Although she has Just the straight
plain scrm curtains at her windows
uii the OAiifr inOHthS vi INV gthi Hui !
ing November, December, January and
February she has mp heavy, unhleached
muslin curtains with n short rufIle, or
valance, of the muslin running across
the top of the window between the two
long side pieces which are decorated
with wide band Of figured niddy brown
rcpp across the lower part Of the valance
and at the bottom OF each side-curtain.

writes that she is making large, "fat
