Modern MARRIAGE
Women Have Their Own
Special Type of Logic

cided to do is right and that he
can argue until he is tired, with
out weakening her conviction. For
her. all his clever arguments will
be nothing but words, and words
can be made to mean anything
one likes.
ITO women, logical arguments
are the toys with which men
play when they are no longer
able to amuse themselves with
the trains and lead soldiers of
their boyhood. And what is so
provoking to a husband is that,
as often as not, it Is the wife
who turns out in the end to be
right. not he. She shot an arrow
careleSsly into the air and it Is
now discovered that she has
miraculously hit the target. What
could be more exasperating to the
logically minded male?"
What. indeed! How madden
ing! But, when you love them,
what could be so entertaining?
Walker closes his treatise thus:
"The husband would. therefore,
be wise to accept women as they
have been made, with all their
wisdom and all their faults. He
Will gain far more from studying
the way In which his wife's mind
works than from vainly attempt
ing to convert her into an inferior
imitation of himself"
Evening star., 1952-06-19
By Dr.. Poul Popenoe

Here's a fellow who processes tc
be going slowly mad because his
wife seems incapable of what
he considers sound logic. He wants
to reform her. He shows her
evidence that white is white and
she will have none of it. :
Can you suggest any good
books on logical thinking that
my wife might read?" he inquiries
"She's driving me crazy by her
irresponsible ways. her illogical
arguments, her refusal to recog-
nize the force of evidence. I'm
a lawyer and I've been trained
to get at the facts. She doesn't
know a fact when she sees one,
even if / lay it under her nose.
She'll ruin our marriage if she
doesn't change"
The trouble is, Mr.. G., women
don't need logic. They have some
very special reasoning powers of
their own. And they get along
very well, too. with what they
have. BY methods that make a
logician shudder. they come up
with some pretty shrewd answers.
(Something like their skill at fix
ing an eight-cylinder motor with a
hairpin.) Part of this ability is
known as intuition. Some hus-
bands say intuition is simply
chronic suspicion, but I have more
respect for it.
Yes, there are some good books
on logical thinking, but they are
by men-written for men. ] think
you need to realize that, like it
or not. women's brains work a
little differently from mems. You
should like it, because that's one
of the reasons we men marry
them and they consent to marry
us. I'd hate to think what would
happen to marriage if women
turned logical. Had your wife
looked at the matter with cold
logic, would she have married
you, Mr.. G.? All, I see you're
turning pale.
Kenneth Walker. in his book
on marriage. published by the

band will be wise If he realizes
