EIN EXCHANGE FOR SECURITY

f WIFELY TOLERANCE 1 By EVELYN VIVIAN } Despite all the evidences of matri,nionial disillusionment. there are llheaps and heaps of women who'still task nothing better of life than to 111-ave a husband and a home ot’ their glown. “'onien who think that the sense of security and strength in a man‘s companionship is well worth the marriage risk. \Vomen who will ’tell you candidly: “My dear. I like Ito feel there’s a. man around!" I Unhappily. once they’ve acquired .the aforesaid home and husband, and kthe luxurious sense of “having a Iman around” that lightens Countless Iburdens, many of them are prone to forget that there is any such thing as give—and-take in the marriage contract. In addition to the strength ’and security business, they expect all sorts ot‘ pernicketty psychological perception on the part of the simple male. They look for a superhuman tolerance and understanding of feminine moods and tenses that is impossible to any really nice man, however iadroitly the expert roue may deal ‘with womanly whims. 111 other ‘words, they want the strength of the simple lie—man plus the diabolical insight of the too-experienced loungelizard. And‘when they fail to get it. they add their plaints to the wail< ing outcry of the “disillusioned.” Marriage would be so much simpler and happier if wives were not for ever crying for the moon. And it', above all, they occasionally remenibered the vital give-and-take principle which is such an essential sweetener of all human companion-l ships. ‘lt', for instance, they re-‘ minded themselves that a peculiarlyi intuitive insight is notoriously a feminine gift, they would realise that tolerance of moods and tense is their job rather than their husbands’; and that the exercise of such tolerance is by no Way of being some small return. for the reassuring security that means so much to them. 1 Quite nice husbands are rarely capable of analysing their own littlei moods. They have neither the time‘ nor the inclination to delve amid the depths of cause-and—effect for an explanation of their pathetic masculine reactions to life‘s light and shade. It is for the wife to administer comfort; or a. liver-tonic. according to her much-advertised insight, when a niissing collar-stud or an ignominious “whacking” on the golf links temporarily dims her liege—lord's joie‘devivre.
