Dear Dorothy Dix, Why do you write so much about wives trying to hold their husbands lover Doesn't 1t ever occur to people that wife gets just as bored with her husband as he does with her? Sometimes she is even more so.- because most wives are home all day. and evening, too, whereas their husbands have diver sions at the office and elsewhere. and a few hours at home in the evening are really restful to them. It seems to he the general opinion that a woman remains in love with her hus- band, regardless of his habits and dispositiOn-whether he Is tidy around the house. whether he is en- tertaining or stupid. grouchy or pleasant. Also that . wife should be attractive, vivacious and ready to humor her husband in order to hold him, while he doesn't need to do any thing to hold her.
 So far as am concerned. if my husband doesn't stay In love with me when I act my natural self. and the way I feel. he can just look out for somebody else. I have often been bored with him. and disgusted with him. So are other wives with their husbands at times. So why not tell husbands how to make their wives contented and give them a little of the romance they crave?-- F. H. B.
 Answer: Yea, verify. sister; you have said . true thing Wives do get just as fed up with their husbands as husbands do with their wives, and
