The Saluki stretched his weary
limbs on the frosty ground and gaZed
at the star-spangled Heavens far
above Judea. There was hush in
the air tonight-and the skies had
never seemed SO brilliant. A short
distance away his master talked
with a group of other shepherds,
watching their flocks on the hills
outside of Bethlehem.
The Saluki rolled over on his back
and yaWned 1t had been a hard
day, but now the flocks were quiet
and he might get moments doze
Always with one ear open, however,
for the faintest sound of disturbance
among the sleeping animals. His
whole nature was bound up in this
overpowering instinct of protection
and watchfulness-an instinct that
had been bred in him and his an
cestors through countless past CEN
turies.
For hundreds of years the Nile
had flowed majestically on; the Dead
Sea had Tapped sluggishly at its
shores. Salukis had been born, lived
a life of servitude to man and died,
passing on to their descendants a
fierce loyalty to them they served,
and an unfailing sense Of guardian
ship for the f1ocks they watched

Dorothy Dix Says go
Romantic Love Flies Out Window
After Marriage Vows Are Said

Why do husbands and wives act
the way they do? What is there
about marriage that makes both men
and women suffer change as soon
as the wedding ceremony is said over
them and that makes them no more
like they were in the days Of court
ship than vinegar is like nectar?
These are questions that millions
of married people are continually
asking, and to which they find no
answer. So far as they can see,
there has been no dirty work at the
crossroads. No malevolent fairy has
changed their Johns and Mamies
from the dream boys and angel-pies
they thought they were marrying,
yet in manners and conduct and
speech they are so altered that
they scarcely know them and often
wonder If, somehow, they haven't
swapped partners and got somebody
else's mates.
Before marriage John regarded
Mamie as the one perfect woman in
the world. At any rate, he told her
he did. He praised her taste in hats.
He listened with respect to her opin-
ions. He laughed at her stories. He
gushed over her mother.
But after marriage, when he no.
ticed what she had on, he poked
fun at it and told her that her
brand-new dress made her look fat,
and asked was that a hat or cats
nest she had on her head. He con-
tradicted her opinions and told her
she didn't know what she was talk
ing about. When she tried to tell
a funny story, he remarked he had

mites and the Hyksos the Saluki
had been a useful member of the
household. There was much fight
ing and moving from place to place
and with the wandering tribes went
their dogs. Thus the Salukls had
spread from Egypt into Asia; some
times, depending upon the condi-
ton of the people, he was a noble
mans hunting dog and joined in
the swift pursuit Of game; in other
circumstances, he reverted to his
original role of protector of the
f1ocks.
Under Egyptians, Hebrews. Per-
slams and Romans, his kind lived
and died. And tonight, beneath the
dazzling Judean stars, he waited for
some event for which the world
seemed to stand still.
The skies grew brighter-there
seemed to be music coming from
beyond the stars The Saluki rose
to his feet and looked sharply at
the huddled flocks. He whimpered
with unease-why, he did not know.
He wished his master would come
back from the group of men and
tell him what was going to happen.
His tail brushed softly back and
forth-that graceful. feathered tail
that matched his feathered legs. in
sharp contrast to his short-haired
body. A great excitement filled him.
But, like the well-trained watchdog
he was, he remained steadfast at
his post, watching for something he
did not understand.
Oddly enough, the descendants of
the Saluki that may have trembled
on the hills beyond Bethlehem that
epochal night. also were made aware
of world destinies. Could this dog
have foreseen it. Salukis that came
900 years, after him were to be
declared sacred by the Moham-
medans-so sacred that they could
not be sold. So sacred that they
and they alone were allowed to sleep
on the tent floor of the faithful; to
be designated as 'the gift of Allah
and titled "the noble one"
Some 1900 years later, the de-
scendants of these Salukis were first
taken northward from the part Of
the world they had called theirs
northward where fierce tribes were
beginning to sow the seeds of great
and powerful nations.
No wonder the Saluki is a dog o1
mysterious mien. He and his kline
have seen the majestic pageant o1
the centuries.

YoungWidow
Entertains
Quietly
Lengthy Mourning
Makes One Very
Conspicuous

Dear Mrs. Post: I'm widow, not
yet 30. My husbands death ended
our short-lived happiness. He left
me with a comfortable little house
and modest but adequate income.
I've lived the life of recluse for
more than year now, and mother
thinks it is still wrong for me to have
any men friends. She even thinks 1t
is wrong for me to have any parties
in my own house. People will think
you didn't love John and you would
not want that" is all I hear. OF
course wouldn't want people to
think that, but how long does this
convent existence have to go on so
they won't get the wrong impress
sion?
Answer-To remain in deep mourn
ing and retirement for a year com.
pletely fulfills the exactions of con-
vention. To go to the extreme OF
two and even three years of mourn
ing, which was eXacted 40 years ago,
would in this day be very conspicu.
Gus on the part of any young person.
In fact, an overlong retreat from
your normal life might not so much
suggest your love for your husband
as the threat of morbid state Of
mind. I wouldn't, if we're you, do
things to attract attention. That is,
If you show marked interest in men
rather than in women you might
give the impression of being eager
to forget your husband. But to have
men friends as we'll as women
friends come to see you and to go
out with them, should certainly be
above criticism.
Xxx
Dear Mrs. Post: Since my question
has never before been Of interest to
me, perhaps just imagine that I've
never read anything in your column
about it. You see, I'm marrying q
man whose name includes junior.
His parents are young and live just
several blocks down the street from
where we're building our house. We
shall, of course, always have to use
the junior with our name because
you can understand what confusion
would probably result if we didn't.
But what about marking our linens
and silver, and even our personal
belongings such as some new lug
gage we're ordering for our wedding
trip?
Answer-The things that go out Of
your house, like writing paper, visit.
ing cards and even your luggage,
should be marked with the Jr., be-
cause it is necessary information to
others. Some provision might have
to be made if you and your mother
in-law's things are likely to be mixed
at the same laundry. or if ever
combined at big party. Usually,
however. the things that are not
taken out of your own house, such
as your linen, your silver, or your
glass, would not be marked to In.
