Mere Man Undertakes To Explain a
 Mystery

One of the riddles that married women grow gray-headed trying to unriddle is why matrimony appears to be so peculiarly disillusioning to men, and why they fall out of love so easily.

By HELEN KENDALL Summer Acuuaintnnces

The yeranda of the summer hotel was cool and inviting, and the two young matrons who occupied adJoln- ing wicker chairs had gone through the preliminary process of introduc ing Themselves and were beginning to exchange condolences, while their small offspring picked acquaintance on a nearby bench. The mushroom friendship. begun so suddenly, devel- oped in three days into an intimacy, and the two women were inseperable.
 Then came the Jolt. Young Mrs. Jones. who had told her new friend, Mrs. smith, all about her petty quar- rels with her husband, found in some subtle way that others in the hotel knew of this incompatibillty. Qulle evidently Mrs. Smith had gossiped with the other guests. The all-too- spontaneous friendship changed over night to a frigid coldness, and Mrs. Jones found herself high and dry in the hotel, for she had made no other acquaintances and every one was talking about her instead of with her.
 Here was a common mistake that Is made at summer resorts the WorlQ over. Many women. and men, too, mistake an apparent congenallty that is founded only on leisure and propinquity for a genuine 1rlend- ship. If they are young, they swear eternal loyalty; if older they prom ise to correspond and to have their respective families visit each other. In most cases they favor each other with condolences that should be made only to tried and true friends of long standing-if then! Half the time the hit miss acquaintance rapioly cools; or if both sides try to keep. up the hastily formed relationship. they discover in time that they are really far from congenial and have little in common aside from carelessly Joy- ous summer holiday.
 The woman who has the best time at any summer hotel or cottage Is the one who is impersonaliy pleasant ana aereeable to every one she meets, who accepts and gives invi- tations without involving any TUT thAr oblieation, and who keeps her own personal and private affairs to herself. One may have g very merry time playing golf or tennis. canoeing

Gives One Mans Answer To a Feminine
 Question

Why Do Men Fall Out Of Love With Their Wives
 Because They ve Ideaized Them Too Much Before Marriage" Answers Masculine Voice

would not melt in her mouth. Also he enjoys her society when he gets 1t fin broken doses, and she is all set to flatter and please and win him.
 It is easy to be a 100 per cent charmer when you've got nothing to do but charm, but how is a woman to look beautiful and alluring who, after having been up half the night with sick baby, has to get break fast, and get the children off to school, and her husband to work, and do ten thousand other jobs around the house? How is any woman to remain spellbinder to man whom she has to ceaselessly dun for mon- ey, and to whom she must go with all the worrying problems of domes- ticity?
 If it is true that every man dreams of a home that can be run on hot air and without money, and in which perfect servants perfectly function; and if he expects to marry woman who has neither nerves, TOT temper, nor temperament, and who always meets him beautifully dressed and wearing the smile that won't come off; and if he looks for ward to having children who will all ways be rosy, smiling little cherubs instead of dirty-faced little bratS, then the sooner he Is walked up from his trance the better.
 There is no such home in the world. There is no such wife. There are no such children. Every home is built on a million sacrifices of per sonal liberty and individual taste ard inclination. Every wife is full of faults that must be overlooked; of weaknesses that must be forgiven; of rrnnl<jOnSS that must be put up with And why every marriage doesn't go smash on the rocks of di- vorce nobody knows. Not even those who save their own wedding rings from getting bent or broken. But do men really want perfect wives, and are they disgruntled be- cause tkey don't get them? doubt it.
 The best-loved women are not the austere saints. They are the little devils. It's chorus girls that men trail after, not Sunday school teach CTS.
 And what points of congeniality would a most imperfect man find with a perfect wife? What stand ing reproach her virtues would be to his sins! How little real touch there could be between one WnO leu the higher life and one who zigzagged off of the straight and narrow road!
 How could man admit his mis- takes to one who was never in error herself? How ashamed he would be of his weakness before one who was all strengthl How rebuked he would be in the presence of one who was never tempted to do those things which she should not do, or leave un- done the things she should do!
 And how he would flee from the perfect wife to a nice comfortable fellow sinner who was subject to the same weaknesses that he was, and would know how to make allowances for them!
 I don't believe that any man wants a 100 per cent perfect wife. The contrast to himself would be toe vivid. Besides, we do not love people for their virtues. It's their faults that endear them to us.
 So we will have to have another explanation of why men fall out o1 love with their wives.

to be so peculiarly disillusioning to men, and why they fall out of love so easily.
 Before he married me-" says the wife to herself, John was wildly, madly passionately in love with me, but If his affection hasn't simmered down from fever heat to below nor mai' then l am mighty poor judge Of heart disease. Before we were married he could never get enough ~t my society, and I had to almost Hing him out of the house. Now l have to lay traps to get him to spend a couple of evenings a week with me.
 Before marriage he used to hang upon my words entranced. Now he doesn't even bother to listen to what l say. Before we were married he found every virtue under the sun In me. Now l am a compendium of all the faults of my sex. Before we were married he noticed how l did my hair, and when l had on a new dress, but if he ever looks at me now 1t is only to find fault with my appearance and knock my taste.
 Why this is thus I do not know. l am the same woman that he picked out from all the millions of women on earth for a wife. I have not changed. l am still young, and have the same assortment of features that he once admired No dread disease has smitten me into imbecility, and l still hand out the line of chatter that formerly interested and amused him. Nor have l done any Dr. JekyH ard MT. Hyde stuff and changed from a reasonably good-natured and amiable woman into virago.
 Why, then, have I ceased to be popular with my husband? Why do I no longer interest him? Why does he find marriage a bore?"
 No woman has ever been able to solve this conundrum. It has taken a man to reveal the true inward ness of the mystery, and he says that the indifference of husbands to their wives is the reaction that comes from a man having expected too much of a woman.
 When a man marrieS," writes this gentleman "he rates his wife as 100 per cent perfection. After marriage every time he finds flaw in her she goes down 10 or 20 per cent in his < estimation until, finally, her cap ital stock of charms, so to speak, IS exhausted and he sees nothing Tn her to admire.
 That is why men fall out of love with their wives. They have ideal x lZed them too greatly. Iney hdNe expected their wives to be angels, and their homes to be perfectly hap py, and when they find that they are married to human beings. and that there are many sordid and unpleas- ant things connected with the mak- ing of home, they are filled with disappointment and call domesticity 8 failure"
 And there you are, ladies. Now, you know what's the matter with you and what ails your husband. The trouble seems to be that men suffer from too much imagination, and that real life can't be lived on a story book platform.
 All goes well as long as man sees a woman only when she has got on her pretty chiffons, and has hao a fresh ma nicure, and new mar llcel, and when she is well and rest ed, and feeling so mild that butter

 When the two mean, little old witches came to their house, the Raggedys found that 1t was very small place, with only two rooms. One room was a bed room and the other was kitchen.
 The two mean, little old witches carried the Raggedys into the kitch- en and placed them side by side upon a chair. You watch them, Winda," Wanda said, while I go get our lit tie scissors"
 q shall not let them escape" Winda Witch replied.
 When Wanda Witch went into the little bed room for the pair of scis- sors, Raggedy Andy wiggled his shoe button eye at Raggedy Ann and said: "Ill bet a nickel, Raggedy Ann, that Wanda Witch will take your Wishing Pebble because it Is better than my Wishing Stick"
