The writer laments that the fixes his ideal of wifehood on Buy Woman whom he fancies, and xpects the wife to live up to that ideal, however incongruous her tom- porement and disposition may bo; while he never for a moment thinks of strising to discover and live up to his wife'e ileal of husbandicod. The wito philosophically and patiently repounces her ideal of Insbaadhoor, realising that it dosen't fit. The man is love accommodating. The writer proceeds:
The fact is, all men, wed or unwed, are universally accorded fall range of the aid of impersonal interests, however uninterested their wires may be in their hobbies or carers, lack of interest being indeed counted as a fault in the wile; and to rentrain such energies or turn them aside on account of the wife's indifference or aversion to such interests would be held anmanly and weak minded in the extreme. Abandonment of a career on account of the wife's counter-tastes would be considered a pity: * wife's abandonot of hobbies or garsaits disliked by the husband would be termed derotica. Husbands, in short, are granted individuality, and a possausivo idend of us baudhood would appresa hin individuality So the young wild's first ideal of burband bood cramples cobrebwise and vanishes, and she accepts the matarai manhood of her busband with a more or less degree of content, areording to her temperament, but always with a certain amount of resignation.
