Dorothy Dix Says
Married Couples Should Realize
Romance Soon Wears Away

A woman asks this question: "Why
can't we wives stay In love with our
husbands? Now take me, for in
stance, and am typical Of the great
majority Of married women" she
goes on to say. II have been mar
ried 10 years. When I was first
married I was 50 much in love with
my husband I could pass q per-
fectly thrilling evening just sitting
looking at him while he read the
newspaper. I enjoyed nothing more
than spending hours preparing him
the things he liked to eat. I got
a kick out of being a valet to him
and handing him his clothes as he
dressed, no matter II he noticed
what I was doing or not. And my
blood boiled II he even 50 much as
looked 1T another woman.
Nov when I look at him a. he
sits opposite me Of an evening, I
only notice how fat and bald he
has got, and how tired am OF hear
ing him tell about what happened
in the office. I don't bother to cook
extra dishes for him. I have quit
laying out his clothes for HIM, for
I say to myself he knows where
they are and is just as able to get
them as am. And as for jealousy
Of other women, why, he can hire
Miss America for his private secre-
tary for all I care.
"Now my husband Is no Don
Juan or brute. Technically I have
no fault to find with him. He has
been good and kind in his way, but
somehow I have just fallen out Of
love with him. Why is this? Why
is 1t when I once wanted to be his
slave, now I resent my chains?"
Probably most middle -aged mar
ried couples-husbands and wives
alike-feel this way about marriage.
Somehow 1t has gone fiat and lost
its savor for them. They think
that they have ceased to care for
each other and that they have lost
their taste for bread-and-butter
domesticity.
This state Of mind is easily ex-
planned. It Is the reaction from the
high-pressure romance Of courtship.
But the husband and wife who md
that they do longer have hectic
chills and fevers at the sound Of

Planning For Benefit
Dance For Aug. S

Plans are under way for "a
dance and variety" floor show
to be given on Saturday night,
August 5, for the purpose of rails
ing funds to continue the work
of the Welfare Community Clin-
ic. This organization has been
doing wonderful work for the
poor of this community who cam
not afford to 60 to private doc
tors. nor pay for medicine. and
who are working under much diff
ficulty due to lack of sufficient
funds.
All citizens who are interested
in the welfare of this community
are urged to donate their talents
or whatever they can afford to
aid in this worthy cause in order
to keep the poor of the COM
munity in as healthy a condition
as possible. In so doing, the do
matters are protecting themselves,
also, for if the poor are left UNI
cared for it will mean more sick
ness in the city for other citizens
to contract.
Mrs. Julio De Poo has been
asked to aid in this benefit and
has undertaken the task of furn-
jshing and arranging the floor
show with Miss Beatrice Mo-
reno donating her musical talent
and efforts to all rehearsals.
Mrs. De Poo and Miss Moreno,
together with several other Key
,Westers connected with local en-
tertainments in the last, promise
to do their utmost in putting on
all new and unique floor show
numbers for this benefit.

mint Of $746.25 placed by the Wa

consequence of ownership of prop
erty on North Main street. The
utilities company contends that the
assessment Is arbitrary, illegal and
improper. 1t asks that the assess

The assessment was levied Sep

contends is narrow strip of land

nurse care so far this year, and the
problem now confronting the asso-
citation Is how to continue this work
IN view of the lack Of adequate
funds.
Miss Marjorie Harrison and Miss
Lucille How'd, former staff nurses
have resigned, it was stated by Miss
Alice G. Peak, director. Miss Hilda
Erickson, a staff nurse, attended
Teachers college Of Columbia Uni
for a six weeks course in public
health nursing.
The records of the Visiting Nurse
association showed that there was
more rheumatic heart disease preva-
lent among children between the
ages Of 10 and IA years than there
has been for some time, and every
case Is having careful attention. The
hope was expressed by Mrs. Sperry
that sufficient funds would be con-
tributed by public spirited citizens
as the associations work must be
carried on without benefit of finan-
cial support from the city at least
for the rest of the year.
