the feat Is very simple, and the will 80 to do
is the divine birthrighN of every male, primi-
tive instinct This is the same trait as found
n male animals (folis masculinis).
:, But we have developed beyond the stage Of
frank fearless, feline freedom In our mod
esn married life there are proper amenities
TO be observed. Man, that great, glorious
Being, has gradually given up his freedom
which Woman has appropriated unto herself
not for US, but as restriction. Husbands be-
some lean and slippered or plump and pumped
and sit by the hre, doing, reading or playing
Gominoes. Then Of sudden the old wild inl-
pulse awakens He would rove, he would
1rowl the dark streets, he would perch on tho
back fence and yowl. Then there is scene.
Why is It, wonder, that Wives inevitably
resent their Husbands going out. That they
do is an established fact. OF course, they often
protest that they do not, but this IS nero
camoufage an emotional smoke screen. While
the Wife is saying "Trot along, Freddy, and
have good time. know it will do you good,
dear" in her heart of hearts she is murmur
plg "What do men see in this foolish game of
poker, anyway? Besides, don't believe he's
going to play poker at all"

TtcO Phases

There are two main sub divisions of this
great problems, (a) getting out, (b) getting
back. Both are difficult.
Taking them up seriatm, I have already
outlined the desrability of preliminary
understanding, which is only open to the OBJ
jections that it is never by any chance at
tempted. Let u.s. then consider few prac
teal methods by which an occasional evening
exit may be effected in the interests Of ulti-
mate home happiness. As every Husband
knows a manly amount of lying is necessary
for the reason that q woman instinctively
rejects the truth. There is nothing more
pathetic than young Husband telling his
Wife the truth. She won't believe IL and
weeps. He, angry and hurt, weeps inwardy
Oh, its very sad.
After q while he begins to realize that
genuine excuses like working late at the office
or attending an important meeting which may
have its effect OH his business arc not at all
the sort Of thing. to offer They are too
simple, too open and above board. A Wife is
too complicated piece of mechanism to be
handled so crudely. She demands something
more vivid, with more plot So Husband be
gins to decorate his stories. He adds frls
and ruffles. Often he invents entirely new
yatns out Of whole cloth and is delighted to
find how magnfcent]y they are received.
Let it not be assumed that I am cynical
Our wives, bless them, arc actuated only by
the best Of motives. They are fondness itself.
Their pique is but the expression Of tender
ness, material care extended to the Husband.
He, too. is only desirous Of maintaining that
sweet calm and confidence so desirable in the
home. Both are working toward the end Of
happiness. The solution lies. as always in
adjustment,

Husbands Night Out

A safe general rule

"A Ga q SCiS %
is to adopt a course as
nearly as possible op-
posite to what might be
expected. Men of
known seriousness Of
character should deal
in frivolous excuses;
more sportive individ-
uals should provide al
ibis of the most dignl-
fed and wei e}lty pur-
port.
For instance, one Of
my friends, Professor
Thompson, the noteu
scientist, who invented
the synthetic oyster,
is q man known to his
family and his neigh
bors as a steady, seri-
GUS character. When
ho feels the need of a
breath Of night air he
does not advance the
excuse that he wishes
to spend the evening
messing about among
his test tubes and
acids, but states boldly
that he proposes to
spend AL evening
among The bright
lights with his con
freres, Professors Blitz
and Hammersly. This
comes as 4 sort of emo
tional shock to his
charming wife. 1t is so
unlike him. He ac-
quircs the glamour of
an adventure. Of
course, he must not re-
peat the experiment
too often. He must
vary the treatment. AS
