DOROTHY DIX TALKS-Con1ing Up to Expectations


The man has listened to his wife recite the
litany Of his faults until he feels that she re-
CARDS him as a poor, miserable, make-shift Of
man who will never make success of life,
and who is stingy, and tyrannical, to boot.
The woman has had her husband tell her so
often that she is fool and bad manager,
and wasteful and extravagant, and that she
mud lies story when she tries to tell it, and
has the outlook of hen, that she think that
he regards her as failure as a woman, and
doesn't expect any more of her than he
would of half-wit.
And this induces in the man and the
woman a whats-the-use attitude towards
matrimony, which is the most demoralizing
thing that could happen to it. The man says
what's the use of my trying to be a good hus-
band, and a good provider for my family,
when all the thanks l get at home is criticism
because I don't do better. The woman says
what's the use of my denying myself things
that want in order to save, and Of my cook
ing and sewing to make comfortable home
when all the reward that l get is a knock
from my husband
So both slump, and both are very apt to
come to justify the evil expectations of the
other One might as we'll be killed for a
sheep as a lamb and if one is going to be
blamed, anyway, one might as we'll have the
game as the name
The jealous and suspicious wife, who is al
ways watching her husband and keeping tab
on MIN, and VINO reads wrong into his most
innocent relationship with other women, will
inevitably drive him into justifying her be-
lief of him. The man who will not give his
wife a dollar to spend, or trust her out of
his sight, may rest assured that in the end
she will OutWit him and deceive him. and be
as false as he expects her to be. But there
are not many men and women who do not
repay faith with faith, and who are not true
to those who trust them.
Praise is more potent than blame. The
thing that we try hardest to do is the thing
we excel in, the thing we know we will be ex-
tolled for doing. The people we take most
pains to please are those who love and ad-
mire us. We make every effort to increase
their good opinion, but our enemies and crit
les may go hang for all of U.S.. We do not
put ourselves out to propitiate them because
no matter what we do they are going to
lambast us anyway.
We all try to be what people expects US to
be- We give the best that is in us to those
who expect the best, and that is worth re-
membering, married people.

solution for this deeply important and many

Here we behold one of the richest Of Ameri-

ored in gifts of nature, capable of producing
all the food it's people require, with brim-

food supplies at heavy costs of transport and

toward the relief of which The Journal and
the Country Bankers recently launched fact

Newcastle should buy Goals, or the sheep go

''Why this unnatural drift of affairs?" hum

Certain it is that most husbands and wives
seem to believe the worst of each other, and
to call forth what is most disagreeable in
each others natures. The average married
couple live in a state of perpetual pickering
over trifles. Apparently neither one ever
expects the other one to do the right thing
under any circumstances, and they spend
their time criticising each other, and dwelling
on each others shortcomings.

Secretly the husband may still admire his
wife, but he would die before he would tell
her SO. At the bottom of her soul woman
may think her husband a giant among other
men, but wild horses could not drag the ad-
mission from her. Each feels it to be the
sacred duty of husband or wife to be an
expert hammer wielder, and not salve

When a woman fails to fascinate man,

he wonders the same thing-"what on earth

Sometimes the only thing around the

curtains.

the door and refusing to listen to her argu-

Poor Italy
Belief that Italy's delegates to the Wash

ment would be forced to live in lowly cir
cumstances and that their headquarters
would look shabby beside the quarters main
tanned by the delegates of other nations,
prompted Deputy Media to refuse to become
member of the Italian delegation, he says.
The Italian parliament's appropriation of
100000 lire ($50,000) for the support of
the mission, he said, was insufficient to pay
expenses for its thirty-five members at a con-
ference that would last indefinitely.
