SUB ROSA BY MIML Wars of the Roses. There were such wars i England centuries ago, I believe, but I don't re- | member what the fuss was all about. | Then, we've had so many wars since | that time that we can't keep track of the rose war they had over there when kings were fighters. But the wars of the Toses which keep on occurring are the ones which are waged by human hearts when they are drawn up in battle array, with the men on one side, the women on the other. That is some fight. It began in the Garden of Eden and is still ragipg furi- ously. This sort of floral battle comes about because women and men don't under- stand each other, or don’t want to. Then they are so emotional when they get together that they can’t sit down and talk the matter over, but have to squabble all the time. They don't real- ize that: they may the same song but in different keys. it who wants to hear & woman sing bass or a man so- ‘The is there, all right, but the way they sing the song messes it up with discord.

You'd think that & couple in love with each other would be sweet and unself- ish, but it's the way of love to promote war. Very likely this is due to the fact that two very different hearts are try- ing to bring about a perfect adjustment in every little detail of life. They just won't agree to disagree, but fight it out until it's time for him to go home. ‘There is no spirit of compromise in these wars of roses. ‘You'might think that when the sexes are sharing life and work as never before, when both have their jobs, they done in the past. Maybe they do get along a little better now that they walk and work side by side. But the wars of the roses are not going to cease just on account of busi- ness. Then, after all, this sort of con- flict, which doesn’t hurt very much. may be a good thing. Love is worth fighting for. We want something better than acquaintances and friends.

EAR MISS DIX.—Women are always being told about what they should do to hold their husbands' love. Among my friends there are husbands who | have falled to hold their wives' love, so Why not for a change tell men how to | retain their wives' affections? We men are just as interested in having our theit husbands loyal to them. | wives faithful to us as women are in having A HUSBAND. Answer —Perhaps the reason that more advice is given to ‘wives about re- taining their husbands’ affections than to men about keeping their wives in love with them is because men are not only more apt to roam, but they have more temptations to roam than women. Every good-looking married man, especially if he has money, is more or less pursued by young and pretly women, but when a woman has once settled down as a wife and mother she is generaily as safe from the attentions of men as if she were in & convent. A married woman has to be an exceptional good- looker and have flirtatious tendencies to attract the masculine eye. Also, it is more important to & woman to keep her husband in love with her than' it is for & man to keep his wife in love with him, because upon the husband's faithfulness depends the integrity of the home, and it is a woman's instinct, brought down from Ler cave mother days, to keep a safe place in which to réar her offspring. But while women are naturally more faithful than men, they have not the ability, as men seem ‘to think they have, of lnvln, the unlovable and being faithful to the faithless, Most men cherish the comfortable but fallacious be- lief that woman's love is indestructible and that after she has onee set her heart upon & man nothing that he does ever alienates it from him. Never was there a more mistaken belief. There are thousands upon thou- sands of women who are tired to death of their husbands, and many a com- placent man would get the shock of his life if he could know what his wife really thinks of him. As & matter of fact, if & man wants to keep his wife in love with him, he has to be up and doing, for & woman's love is killed by disillusion, by nagging, by coldness and neglect, even as & man’s is, How, then, can & man keep his wife in love with him? By keeping himself looking attractive to her. If a slatternly woman in curl papers and with a soiled kimono on and run-down-at-the-heel slippers is repulsive to a man, even more disgusting to a woman is a slovenly man with a -day stubble of beard on ms face, with a soiled collar and rumpled clothes, sitting around in his stocking el When a man goes a-courting he is barbered and perfumed and pressed, and 1t 18 that sort of sheik that the girl falls in love with. She would never say “yes” in the world to the untidy creature she is married to, who looks like something that the cat brought in and that ought to be sent to the laundry. If a man wants to keep his wife in Jove with him he has to keep her in- terested. Wives don't find it very exciting to spend their evenings sitting up with husbands who are about as conversational as a graven image and who only grunt when they are spoken to. Nor is every woman wildly excited over hearing every detail of her hus- band’s business day and what he said to Jones and Jones sald to him, or how he sold another radio or peck of potatoes. Most women read a g»od deal in these days and belong to clubs, and they would like to have their husbands keep up with thr&l‘\ and be able to talk about the last new book or what is going on in ‘wor] ) If a husband wants to keep his wife in love with him he must show some real personal heart interest in her and let her see that he regards her as a lady love instead of just a useful piece of household furniture like the vacuum cleaner or the gas range. He must notice whether she is well or sick, He must look at her enough to know whether she has on a new dress or not. He must remem- ber lnnlvefln‘ ries and show her little attentions and take her out to places of amusement. Before m: a man can always think of ways to please his sweetheart, of places she would like to go, of books she is interested in, and he is solicitous that she should have a good time, but after marriage he often drops all of these attentions and expects her to find being married to him picnic enough for any- body and to renfember his lovemaking as long as she lives. It doesn’t work. Women have to be wooed over again every day, and it is only the perg:tull lovers who keep the love fires always burning on the altar of their wives' hearts. Pinally, if & husband keeps his wife in love with him he has to show ter | tenderness and consideration. The husband who says cruel and abusive things to his wife stabs her heart with a thousand wounds from which it bleeds to dea ‘The man who never tells his wife of his affection for her, who never slwdw- hler :ny appreciation, freezes her love to death., It perishes of coldness and neglec llfihmrmmplvomm'lhnmlthwflnd thing for husbands to think over.
