Sunset . hour. That time is reserved forvisiting with him, she says, for en-joying the loving companionship thatsix children and twenty years or mar-ried life have only developed and deep-ened!) The wife who works hard away fromhdlme is likely to be too tired — andprobably too independent! — to devoteherself to bringing out the best that isin him. That is the reason, I think, thatlies back of too many of these tragediesof fiction and of real life: the womansattitude is thoroughly self-centered evenwhen she thinks she is being most self-sacrificing and helpful in contributingmoney to their partnership. Is it sur-prising that marriages of movie starshave such a high mortality rate? Com-petition may be the life of trade, but itis the death of married happiness. No, the womans contribution to thehome must of necessity be differentfrom that of the man. If both are con-centrating chiefly on the material wel-fare of their partnership, it grows one-sided and all too soon droops and dies. ^E V E R. SCRUB Aj
