Holding a Man's Love By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. Of course "love does generally come home at last" however he goes a-wandering. But which of us does not long for the magic "ounce of pre vention the unfailing charm which shall keep love safe at home? How to prevent a man from want ing to wander? Make him comfort able, never nag him, bring to his re citals of his day's doings a sym pathetic interest and never bother him vrtth your. day's doings. If he is tired, let him feel free to rest; if he wants to fare forth to the place of the tango or the burlesque, go with him, and forget that you pine to see Isadora Duncan or listen to Caruso. Before your marriage you trotted along to base ball games and acted as stimulated .and interested as if you knew third base from an "error." Why not keep up the good work of pre tending to like what Mr. Little. Boy likes. In all seriousness, it is important to make your husband comfortable by letting him have the diversions and the relaxations which his fight with the world make him long for. If your life holds only love, why not give to love breadth of mind and un derstanding and the whimsical ten derness which every Peter Pan of a man needs? ? If in your life there are big inter ests portions of the world's work constructive efforts in politics or so cial service or the arts, you will find that your deeper interests make you enough of a' pal and companion, enough of a complete equal, so that your husband may be just as con cerned about holding your interest, now that he has it, as is the average woman over the reverse process. ' The things which lure a man away from home are newness, a variation from the usual and humdrum, the lure of youth, the flattering admiratioa of some one who tells him he is wonder ful, the joy of conquering some all desired young creature. There isn't one of these things which the wife cannot be or do or furnish if she takes the trouble. However, if being a pal and a sweet heart and a wife and' a mother and a siren and an unknown quantity and an experienced nurse all added up to gether fail to hold an errant husband's vanity, what then? First of all, don't let yourself be suspicious. Try to trust and by your trust to compel . a sort of ' loyalty. Sometimes a jealous wife drives a man to the perverse feeling and he may as well have the game as the name. ;- Be tolerant rather than accusatory. Try a sense of humor instead of he- roics. . uet out some ot tne situation and look" at it in the light of calm reasonableness.- ': - Here is John, aged 43, heretofore devoted husband and father and al ways generous and kindly",: making a fool of himself over 20-year-old Flos sie Frivol J or 30-year-old Lucretia Bluestocking, as the case may be. Now, whether this, little infatuation be a foolish, momentary affair or a growing tragedy, the wife herself will probably have to decide. If she is jealous and petty and ir- ' ritable, she fairly drives her man into the arms of the other woman, who is naturally being as sweet and amiable and lovable as are all of us when we are wooing and being wooed. Let me tell you a very true story, the ending of which was written by the wife. John. Simmons .was fifty and had come to grandfatherdom without giving one sign that he -was not an exemplary citizen and a good husband and father. And then he fell in love with Rose Lansing, a beautiful young widow who was a friend. of one pf his daughters. It looked is if John's feelings arose from one of those tremendous, whirlwind passions which have come down through history because of their force and tragic power to triumph over right and convention and almost over time itself. John Simmons' daughters were desperate. They did not want their Advice to Lovelorn By Beatrice Fairfax Danger t Dear Miss Fairfax: As my atapmother t very unsympathetic I am writing for ad vice. I am IS and considered good-looking. Last night in the subway an elderly gentle man offered me his seat, I accepted It. Upon leaving the subway, he followed me to my home and gave me his card. He asked If he might call. I told him no. He then asked to take me to the theater next Saturday night What shall I do 1 Please answer. AVERIL. Of course you must not go. What do you know ot this man which makes you feel you can risk going about with him? Surely you realize that a man who follows strange young girls about and offers them atten tions cannot be guaranteed to have respect for them or himself. The man had no right to follow you and no right to make any advances whatever. You fear the wrong person a stepmother of whom yeu might make a friend If yon were to go to her for help and sympathy; but real danger which lurks In the acquaintance of tnee of whom you know nothing, you find worth cul tivating. Don't go, my child, and If pos sible, make friends with the woman who stands in the place of a mother to you. Tee "It Pays." ' Dear Miss Fairfax:- We are three friends, all working girls, earning from 18 to l a week. , We find It impossible . to live and dress and have any pleasure, as we' would like, on this salary. Does It pay to strug gle to be decent? What shall we do? THE REART-WEARY. THREE. Be a little patient. Of course, your strug gle Is not an enjoyable one, and you have the desperate feeling that youth Is slipping by you and that you may miss all the Joy of life and grow old and unattractive with out ever having a good time or the affec tion and attention you naturally crave. I am sure you realise that any struggle which lets you keep your self-respect,' the right to look decent people square In the eye and the hope of being worthy of love and wife hoed and motherhood some day Is worth making. Let any woman who Is willing to pay the traglo price for the feverish happi ness of the moment win your pity but never your envy. The only way to win opt In life's game Is to play It honestly, decently and patiently. mother to divorce their father, nor did they want her to be shamed and betrayed by him. They wanted to go to him and plead with him to spare his family not to make it pay for his illicit love. And very quietly their mother prevented all' this and gave her command: Listen, girls there's no tragedy, no disgrace, unless I acknowledge it. We're making this whole thing up in our own suspicious minds. John is attracted by Rose that's all. We don't have to cut her or make a fuss because she's younger and prettier than I am. I don't have to beg my husband for the devotion he has al ways given me freely. The fuss you ate making is disgraceful. I won't have any scenes. I am giving a dinner tonight and a house party next week. Rose is to be at both." The wife's good nature, her refusal to think evil, her calm, taking the thing out of the realm of clandestine and making it easy for John to see the siren, destroyed some of the romance of it. I am not sure that all men could be cured of their infatuations, but I think a large percentage of errant husbands could be won back by their wives' good-humored acceptance of the fact that John was having "a little flirtation" when an excited accusa tion that John was indulging in "a dangerous affair" might actually in cite him to have the sort of an af fair which was being taken for granted. "No man could be false to her; no man could tire of her she's so reasonable and square," said a very charming man recently of his wife a woman of infinitely less attraction than he possesses. "Reasonable and square" how manyNvomen are that when brought face to face with emotional tragedy? Hysterical and bitter; jealous and suspicious; whimpering and des perate; accusing and tragic all these women proceed to be when they -think the man they love has given them "cause." I recommend a complete reversal of policy. Try being "reasonable and square."
