could, at least, understand why they
perpetually stabbed at each other.
But such is seldom the case. Most
of the quarreling husbands and wives
are not enemies. In reality, they
love each other. The man spends
his life toiling to give his wife
luxuries. The woman stews over the
kitchen stove making her husband
his favorite pie. Let either one be
seriously i'll and the other is frantic
with anxiety.
Yet when there is no domestic
crisis they are at each others
throats. Neither one can resist say
ing things to the other that cut
like knife. No subject is so trivial
that they can't get into fight over
it. Wild horses couldn't. drag a COM
pliment Or an expr&sion of affec-
tion out of either one of them, and
their favorite indoor amusement is
harping on each others faults and
weaknesses.
But in spite of all these evidences
to the contrary, these husbands and
wives so often love each other. I
once heard a doctor say that the
saddest deathbed scene he had ever
witnessed was when a husband, who
had never said a tender word to his
wife during the long years they had
been married, poured into her dead
ears his remorse for never having
said to her any of the things that
she so longed to hear.
So the question of why husbands
and wives live together SO scrap
PLY, when they might do it happily,
remains the S64 question to which
no one knows the answer. Person.
ally, think it is largely due to the
Illustration that married couple
have when they have to settle down
to everyday living instead Of floating
around on the pink clouds of court
ship. 1t is coming home every night
to wife who doesn't look as CLAM
orous in a bungalow apron as she
did when she had on her chiffons
and her makeup. 1t is. paying bills
and cooking meals. 1t is a letdown
from what the lovers expected of
marriage And somebody has to be
blamed and each takes it out on the
other. Also, husbands and wives
spat because it is the escape valve
for their tempers and nerves. Other
wise they would blow up.
And, most of all, husbands and
wives spoil their marriages by
senseless quarrels, because neither
one OF them will use the slightest
diplomacy in handling the other,
or say the soft word that turns away
wrath.

The other day I got in a re-
laxed mood by writing about cat
exercises. Perhaps I should con-
tinue in this vein since nervous
tension is one of the major ills of
modern civilization.
Our lives are set at a pace which
IS wearying. Days are complicated
and during our moments of rest we
are harassed, and our sleep Is often
interrupted by the noises about us.
Cars, radios, telephones, lawn mow-
ers, fans, buses, subways and air.
Planes, have streamlined and
speeded up existence until our nerves
are sometimes outraged.
This is why we feel so completely
relaxed when we are in the country
and quiet descends on us and soothes
us blessedly. We can actually feel
every nerve end uncoil. The tempo
Is slower and life is simpler in vii
lagos, and even in small towns, than
1t is in the city. Even trips to do
errands do not entail the wear and
tear of city traffic, parking diff
culties and formal grooming.
The demands of the modern
family are greater than those of

BOOK AND POEM WANTED?

BOOK AND POEM WANTED?
from Mrs. N. A. Med, Herndon.)
My two requests are so vague that
don't know whether anyone can
help me or not. I would like to know
the name and author of the book
about an incorrigible family who
were always getting into scrapes. A
family friend was always setting
them right. One predicament I re-
call was that they'd bought piano
and then couldn't get it in the house
so they opened the living room
window and played it that way.
am also eager to track down a
poem on Santa Claus which ex-
plains to children about Santa be-
ing spirit which lives in the heart.
1t is the perfect poem for children
who. have just discovered there isn't
a real Santa. If some one can lden-
tify these two things from this in
formation I will be eternally CRATE
full.
A hearty thank you to the cor
respondent who tipped us off to
burning the grease from the burners
of the stove. It's a clean and efn-
cient. way to do nasty job.

Beauty
Roundup

Interested in something new?
We hope you are because that
is the way things get launched.
Deodorants are always a good
item to write about for women
are interested in keeping them
selves sweet and fresh. If
you've tried them all and dis
covered, as have so many
women, that you still haven't
hit the right deodorant, why
not give a new one on the
market a chance? It's a creamy,
white lotion, nonscented, and
doesn't leave a deposit on your
clothes. 1t is also not sticky.
The deodorant contains a very
effective anti-perspirant.
And some of you men should
take an interest in this new
product-there's certainly moth
ing sissy about it!

BREED OF DOG.

(Fron, Mrs. E. N. H., Fairtar.)
To Mrs. T. c. B., Chevy Chase.
I've had quite a lot of experience
with dogs and with several different
breeds. I'd say the collie is about
the best you'll ever find. They are
gentle, they eat most anything you
would and are very good as watch
dog. At the present time, We have
three Beagle hunting dogs and a
Cocker Spaniel, but the cocker is
the most trouble 1 have an awful
time finding anything she likes to
eat. She won't eat vegetables, milk
and very little meat. In fact, she is
too particular She is very gentle
and is a good watchdog, though
Maybe I just worry too much about
her, but I like to see my animals
well fed.
When my boy. was 3, we had a
black collie and she'd never leave
his side when he was outside the
house. Shed even eat onions if the
boy would give them to her. Even
though we lived far out in the coun-
try, she wouldn't let a salesman (or
any stranger) in our gate unless we
called her to the door,
I've always used flea powder or
MY cats and dogs and they are not
bothered with fleas or ticks. 1t takes
such a tiny bit, too.
Id advise you to get puppy, nc
matter what kind of dog you happen
to choose. They are such cute little
things.
From Mrs. P. F., WaShington)
For Mrs. T. B. c.: Yours is GER
tainly the s64 question! You'll fine
each and every breed has its stauncf
supporters, as well as critics. You'll
find there Is the long hair versus
short hair group, the large dog ver-
sus small dog group and so on. Also
you'll find that every person has
known, at some time or other, a dog
that did not run true to his gen.
orally known characteristics. There
is always some one who has known
a fierce or nasty dog OF a breed
known generally to be very sweet
and trusting. And so it goes.
However, in the dog world" q
dog of relaxed nature and good dis
position is considered the best kind
of dog for children, rather than a
breed of nervous and excitable dis
position.
Dogs Of the te---iicr breeds are
