Summer Relaxation and Morals
By ANN LISLK.
There aa otic a girl whoa pel maxim
was, "It's so different In th summer
time.' Ph was quit sure that you could
ae thlrg In the suainaer that yoi would
never oontemplat In th winter. Bit
believed In shedding your normal person
ality and becoming whatever th fancy
f th moment suggested.
"If o restful." said she, "to be Just
aa tinronsolou Utile animal living up to
the whim of the moment."
And she Uvod up to her theory.
One summer she met a very charming
youth who was not at all elifiU and not
at all matrimonially Inclined. HI meager
salary sufficed to buy bona bona for the
new love who came Into hla life every
few month, but It would not hav pur

a permanent fixture a a wlf.
Th girl found him particularly faart

Hla vacation laatd three weeks, and
during It the girl had what aha called
"the time ot her Ufe." And the rocking

aiming a Hltle vitriol.
At the end of three week the youth
who made love like the hero of a melo

lb girl received two pound of candy
and three letter. The second week two

Th rocking chair brigade watched her
becoming more and more penstve. It ac
tually expected her to g Into a decline.
Hince there were no men about to Im
press, the girl wore her quietest and most
demure clothes and did absolutely no
peeing. Itae even began embroidering a
waist for th winter's wear.
At that stage ot the game a neat Man
arrived. The girl looked so sweetly do
mestlo with a pensive expression nn her
face and sewing In her hands that th
Real Man was Impressed. Through Ms
mind there flitted a vagus Idea that here
waa the very wife for him.
For a week the girl waa ejuiet and sub
dued and, since she was not trying to
make an Impression, succeeded In making
one. And then th tonic of maacultn at
tention made her perk up.
I One in-considered morning h cam
'down In a diaphanous waist and awning-
striped ewoater of vivid red and white
and a corduroy skirt which stopped In
plenty of time to show a good doal of

The rocking char brigade gasped and
than recovered It breath with sufficient
fore and vehemence to explain to the
man that thla was exactly what might
have been expected.
The man didn't exactly bellrr. bat th
vivid young person In ertmae and whit
bore no reaemhlanee to th doe tie god
dees he had been setting; a pedestal,
he looked altogether relaxed arid to
snatch her change of atmosphere the
man's high Ideala relMed, to.
That morning a the sands h hold her

of the plasxa he kissed her. And far two

or other rendered easier of ascent, until
evary year the assemblage of would-be

feet and waited Impatiently for th spring
avalanches to leave them In climbabl

Eternal Conflict Between Sexes
Bj DOROTHY DIX.
viV1
M
I J-A
.4 t '. j
.-'?V-v' I
- In a recent divorce case a letter waa
Introduced in the evidence In which the
maa wrote these word to the woman:
Tou once told me that the reason
that you hated me
was Just because
1 .was your hus
band. I now think
that th only rea
son that I hated
you waa Just be
cause you were a
woman, and that
th tkSLgs that I
objected to tn you
wr merely th
fault of your sex."
I wonder It this
man hasn't diag
nosed not only, til
own case, but that
of moat of th un
happily married,
and tf th aourc
of th discord be
tweon practically
all warring husbands and wive la not
due to th eternal eonfttct between the
sexeaT :
In this case th woman' grlevanc
against th man wag not so much whai
h bad done, or left undone, but that h
waa her husband. She chafed at her
bondage to hire. Bh rebelled at being
dependent upon him, and subject to his
whims and caprices. Hla society got upon
her nerve because she had It In over
doses.. If he hadn't been her husband, If ho
had been a nelgtibor or a guest she
would have liked Mm well enough.
"Wlf" and "husband" are either the
sweetest words or the bitterest that we
ever take upon our tongue, and their
flavor depends not upon what the woman
or maa that we are united to may be, or
not but upon our atat ef mind.
Many a woman bates a perfectly good
man for no reason on earth except that
he Is her husband. Many a man hates a
woman who la little short -of angello Just
because She Is his wlf, and that I th
reason that so many married couples go
about with chips upon their shoulders
and ptcsc quarrels with each other on the
slightest pretense.
In reality these people's grudge Is not
against the individual to whom they are
united In the holy bond of wedlock. It
I against matrimony aa an Institution. It
is the en of bondage that they cannot
endure with patience, not th fault of
a particular Individual.
Also what many men and women object
to in their wives and husband la not
some personally disagreeable quality, but
the peculiarities of th opposite sag.
For Instance, there are women whoa
Ideal of a perfect husband la a man wrto
neither drinks nor smokes nor uses any
explettv stronger than "Oh. fudge I" and
who eomea atraJolat home from the of
fice at o'clock and spends th balann J
of th oveningi In wiping th dish and I
mending th wall paper and straightening
th pictures.
Such a woman would be perfectly happy
if united to a man who would fill tn his
leisure tlra by crocheting pink baby
sock a, and whose Idea of enjoyment
would b to go to a Browning society or
mothers' meeting with her.
' But when a woman of thla typ marrteg
a rough, rude, mala person, with sjrictly
mesouUne tastes, who eomes home smell
ing of tobacco and beer, and who ran't
be brought to see how much mor pleas
ure he would really get out of spending
his money for lace curtains for the par
lor than for cigars, why, trouble begins.
Personally th man may be good ami
kind and generoua and tender and true.
At aa Individual aha can find no faurt
with htm, but what she doesn't Ilk In
him ar th faults of his sex. It shocks
and disgusts her that he wants to go to
prise fights, and likes to shoot thing, and
that h occasionally stays out too lata
and drinks more than Is good for him.
In a word, he isn't ladylike and con
genial to her.
And there are many men who object
to their wives on exactly the same
ground. They find fault with th ladles
because they have the qualities of women,
and not men.
Kor example, when a mas derides his
wife for her ignorance and accuses bsr
of being a hare-brained' Idiot, It Is al
ways beoause sh doesn't know tho
same Iln of things that he does. Bh may
be a model housekeeper, a manager that
can get five times more out ot a dollar
than he can, and able to construct hsf
gowna and hats with a skill that deceives
even her best friends Into thinking they
ar Imported. But h considers hsr lack
ing In Intelligence because sh looks
blank when he talk about a holding
pool, or about underwriting a new bond
Issue. Tot heaven help th Morgans an)
Rockefeller If they wer put to it to
work out a cut paper pattern that any
Httle girl can do with one hand tied be
hind bar!
Probably every man secretly regards
himself as a martyr and think he must
be married to tba moat extravagant
woman on earth when he is called upon
to pay her millinery bills. To him that
I seems money wasted absolutely thrown
away yet very few women spend aa
much on their lothe aa their husbands
do on drinks and smoke.
It is literally trm that what the aver
age man dislike In bis wlf ar the
faults f her eex. He dial Ikes her flareo
possession of him that makes her tyran
nise ever htm for fear somebody will get
him away from her. He dislikes her lack
of promptness and decision of character.
He dislikes her Ignorance of the things
that ha kaowa and her lack of sympathy
with the amusements hs enjoys, and,
above all though he never acknowledges
this to himself h dislikes . having to
oeny himself pleasures he crave and
things he wants because he has to pay
her bills and support a family.
It Is th Ineradicable differences be
tween the sexes that maks them repel, as
well as attract, each other, and that Is
why matrimony Is always bound to bo
the most hazardous enterprise In which
human beings can ever engage.
