[ EAR DOROTHY DI I am married to a beautiful and charming woman and one who is the blue-ribhon housekecper of the universe. But she is| such a superlative housekeeper she fails to make a home, and there is no| other place in the world where I feel so little at home as in my own house. I dare not leave a hook open on a table or a paper where it can be seen. She keeps me hunting clothes in the basement and puts my paper clippings into the trash can. I wouldn't dare to muss a sofa cushion or lie down on a bed in the daytime. So every now and then I escape from this orderliness and go away fo another city to a hotel, where I prop myself up in the middle of the hed with shoes and clothes on, light my old pipe. pull my hat over my eves for a shade and read and write as late as I want to. My wife brondcasts that I don't care for home. Do you wonder Wa¥ Answer: Not at all. Many a woman sweeps her husband out of the door along with the other trash and then wonders how she happened to lose him. Between the woman who iz an overly neat housekeeper and the woman who i an untidy housekeeper, T am not sure but what the preference goes to | the slovern. for one has at least greater liberty where everything is at sixes and sevens than one hes in a house that is so immaculately ‘clean and orderly that one is afraid to move for fear of putting some object out of its sacredly ordained place. 1 have heen in houses where you trembled to move lest you might dis. arrange a rug. where to take a book from a shelf was almost to commit a crime. and where a spot on the tablecloth would have heen worse than a blot on your character. | 1 know homes in which a1 man is never permitted to smoke for fear of | scenting up the curtains: where he is nagged about cizarette stubs and cigar | ashes; where his wife goes behind him straightening up chairs and picking up aper he has laid down for a_moment. and where everything he does, and doesn’t 1= th a eurtain lecture | And 1 have seen such hushands flee from their homes as from a place of torture to elubs and uloons and corner drug stores, whera they eould do as they pleased. 1'know homes in which the children are never allowed to plav in the | house for tear of scratching up the floors or in the yards for fear of wearing off the grass: where they are fretted at from morning to night bacause they scatter their capsz and leave thelr toys about and 1nuss things up. And | have seen those children take to the street for freedom and join hoodlum gangs and grow up to be a disgrace and a heartbreak to the mothers who cared more for their furniture and their rugs than they did for the | immortai souls of thelr girls and ho; | Any woman who drives her hushand away from his own home and to a | hotel to enjoy himself in peace and comfort will have only herself to hlame | when she loses him entirely. as she ix sure to do in time.
