weep tears Of pity over him, and II she
doesn't believe he is going To die every
time he has a headache, or cold, he
considers her heartlcss icicle, and wells
like An orphan left on the doorstep.
Most of all does man want his wife
to treat him like baby when he is
naughty. When he comes home of m
evening, and slams the door behind him
and smacks the baby and kicks the cat,
and is cross and grouchy, no doesn't
want his wife to talk to him about the
duty Of man TO control himself, or the
sacred obligations Of husband. He'll
Just love her TO death If she's got sense
enough to mother him. and say, "There,
there, did them mecnums manums Mt
the Office treat my poor ickle bitty boy

better jos as room as he has some dood
soup in his little tumtum, and, anyway,
his little wifums knows dat he's q dreat
big man, dat will des beat 'em TO def in
the end"
Even W hen man stumbles off the
straight and narrow path he still wants
his wife to look upon his faults as those
OF q child, that are not to be taken
seriously. That's why he has the nerve
TO ask to be forgiven because in reality
he seldom means to do wrong He's just
boy who couldn't resist the temptation
to play hockey, and the thing he never
can understand is why his wife can't
understand. And in this, perhaps, is the
tragedy of matrimony, that men stay
boys till the end Of time, while wives are
always grown up.
Somehow women have got in to the
way of thinking that they should have a
monopoly of all the petting in the family,
and that all the fuss should be made over
them. They expect their husbands to
be demonstrative in their affection for
them, to arrange little treats and sur
prises for them, TO praise them for all
of their successes, and condone all of
their faults.
But these same ladies take everything
that their husbands do for them as a
matter of course. 1t never seems to occur
to them that a man would like his wife
occasionally to strew a few bouquets in
his pathway that he would enjoy being
thanked for all he does for his family
instead of being blamed because he
doesn't do more and that he would dote
on being treated not as the family goat
or cash register, but as the household
pet.
We often wonder why men, who are
married to women who are models
of all the domestic virtues, wander away
from home. Perhaps the answer is that
they are seeking some woman who will
baby them.

Mrs. Fox knew where there were
