WIVES are always wondering what
spell the predatory women use
to lure their husbands away from
them. They profess to think that the
sirens have some occult magic that
they practice upon men. In reality
it is nothing but fattery. The wife
considers it her sacred duty TO tel
her husband of his faults and to call
his attention to his every weakness
and mistake. The other woman ex-
tolls his good qualities. She salves
with praise the sore places in his
vanity that his wife has made. She
gets her man by telling him the things
he wants to hear instead of the things
he would rather die than listen to.
1t Is, OF course. unfortunate that
husbands and wives will not hear
criticism from each other. because
often one or the other is better bonn
better educated. more intelligent and
has had broader social advantages
than the other, and the superior one
could be the most valuable of all
mentors to the inferior one. But this
opportunity for improvement is lost
because they cannot stand correction
from each other. The dove of peace
never roosts on the home in which
husbands and wives tell each other of
their faults for their own good
