V jk We, The Women A Stem Wife Is Heading for Rocks By RUTH MILLETT “Mrs. Lovina Warren, 22, was held without charge today after admitting that she killed her war husband during a quarrel over his ‘going out with the boya’ Saturday The tragic end ing of that story should be a warning to other that “put ting her foot Ruth Millett down” is the wrong response for the wife whose husband comes back from war determined to keep some of the independence of the “bachelor” existence he knew as a soldier. A woman can make scenes over her husband’s desire to go out with the boys occasionally, but she is playing with dynamite that is likely to blow up her marriage. QUARREL ISN’T SOLUTION However' much she resents his determination to keep some of his freedom, quarreling about the sub ject is the wrong approach. She hfts a perfect right to tell him quietly and calmly how she feels about the matter and what it means to her—but if he still insists on his right to leave her at home while he goes out to play with his pals she would be smart to let him have all the freedom he wants. If she lets him plan some of hit evenings alone without any pro test and quietly makes her own plans to spend such evenings with friends there is a good chance that he will soon get over wanting to go out without her. After all, his determination to go out with the boys may be just a protest against too suddenly be. ing pushed back into a social pat tern where the wife makes all the plans for entertainment and his wishes aren’t even consulted. IT’S A BAD HABIT. American wives have a bad habit of planning their own and their husband’s evenings to suit them selves. Otherwise there wouldn’t be so much bridge playing with the neighbors and' so many in vitations extended just to pay back so-and-so, who is dull but who "had us to her house last week.” Going back to thet kind of set up is bound to be hard on many men who have been planning their own evenings for several years. ' So if a wife wants to save her marriage she had better let a man who wants a little freedom have it. Chances are he won’t be too anxious to use it, once he is sure it is his. And even if he does, that shouldn’t spoil a marriage. There is nothing in the marriage contract that says a husband and wife must spend every evening of their lives together. Women just as sume that is the only pattern for a happy marriage. v-iv.vi sc via, iviajui vjcuigc ucuicu, Maurice H. Moore, George Lynch, Jr., and Whit T.
