Dorothy Dix Says
Married Love May Be Deepest Where
Least Expressed.

her on a single point The philanderer
who tortures his wife with his inf
delities never really loves any woman
but her and considers all other women
as dirt compared to her.
Why this Is thus, no one can ex-
plain. 1t is just part of the myste-
rious bond between husbands and
wives that makes them feel they are
so much a part Of each other that
they no more have to express 1t than
they have to call attention to the fact
that they have eyes or hands or feet.
1t Is something so vital that each
thinks the other must sense 1t, must
know without being told. and that
each thinks the other the most WON
derful person in the world. Hence
there Is no necessity for compliments
or polite phrases between them.
OBSERVATION shows that the
~ husbands and wives who quarrel
most violently when together are fire.
quently so devoted to each other that
they are miserable If parted, and that
the married couples who grumble
most about each others faults really
think each other perfection. So well
Is this understood that we are all q
little suspicious of the husbands and
wives who are too punctilious with
each other. We feel that the affec-
tion that has to be continually ex-
pressing itself in petting and "dar-
lings" and "sweethtarts" and fulsome
praise Is as phony as the virtue that
has to be publicly proclaimed.
Hence because a man does not tell
his wife every day that she is the one
woman in the world to him, nor that
he blesses heaven for having got her
for a wife. it is no sign he doesn't
love her. Nor does the fact that
wife is not always telling her husband
that she considers him better looking
than a movie star and that she
adores him for all his goodness and
generosity to her indicate that she
doesn't appreciate everything that Is
fine and good in him. But, unfortu-
nately, not all husbands and wives
are mind readers who are able to look
into the hearts of their dumb mates
and see what they really feel and
think.
GO THERE are thousands upon
- thousands of husbands and wives
who go through marriage doubling
the affection of the wives and hus-
bands who really love them, pining
for the tender words that are never
said, the caresses that are never given
them, the praise they never receive,
starving for somthing more than the
dry husks Of matrimonial duty.
A physician once told me that the
most pathetic death-bed scene he ever
witnessed was one in which a cold.
silent, take-it-for-granted husband
poured out his soul to his wife, who
was literally dying for lack Of affec-
ton. IF you had only told me once
that you felt like that about me-" said
the woman. II could have lived and
been happy, but it is too late now"
All of which goes to show that dumb
love is dumb in every sense of the
word. We need something more than
silent love to make the long road Of
marriage easy going.
