WOMAN'S WORLD

Marriage and Boredom.
[By a Young Husband.]
It is the little things that make or mar the harmony of married life the trißing discords that considered separately aro negli-
gible, and taken in the lump are of enormous importance.
Last year Kuo Liang was one of the most powerful men in Changsha; he always had's body- guard of a hundred men. Ho seems to have been the foremost the province at that leader in time and under his regimo a lot of Hence people lost their lives,
Nowadays it is expected by there was something extremely young idealists of both sexes that sensational in the populace look-husband and wife shall share cach ing up at the head of the man who other's interests. I myself hold had so few months before been all this view, which I now bellove to be unwarrantable. The topics that powerful.
bored a woman. before marriage are disconcertingly apt to bore her as a wife; nor does a husband lay aside with marriage his capacity for ennui..
Other executions have taken place of course and the impressive thing about them is the courage with which these people go to the execution shouting their slogans, There are subjects, arising from but though folk wonder at their work, the day's doings, the larger bravery yet there is little Bym-field of the world's affairs, in pathy for their cause. The details which I know that nine out of of the Leiyang affair have done for ten of my men friends will be in- terested, but in which, when I pause to reflect, I realise that nine out of ten women are not at all interested.. Why should I assume that my wife is the excoption? Nothing is more stimulating than argument in which a masculineį point of view contends with a feminine; but when I ask from: my wife the same mental response to my immediate concerns that I find in myself, I bore her. It is inevitable.

Here is a Wide Field for Todium.
I am romantic, she a realist She cares for detail, I for genera- lisation. I miss thousands of things that she sees and enjoys, and about other things I am en- thusiastic where she is critical and- judicial. Ifere is a wide field for tedium; so long as the fiction is maintained that husbands and wife can ever view any but a small proportion of subjects from the same angle, so long will one bore the other. And since women are commonly wiser in this respect. than men, it is husbands who. more often, bore wives than wives boro husbands,
For abiding ennui there in pID- bably no remedy other than separaą- tion. But a frunk acknowledg- ment that what is of absorbing in- terest to a husband is quite con- ceivably utterly tedious to a wife would go a long way to minimise occasions of boredom.

Some New Lines.
Silont People are Dull
[By the Hon. Mrs, Fitzroy Stewart.]
The early Evangelicals regarded aflence as a copnsol of perfection; and not so very long ago children were directed to talk little, and this not only with the useful idea of giving their elders time to speak, but also to impress on their young' minds the intrinsic value of silence. Ruskin said: "The world only goes on because of the silent virtue in it;" and "Silence Is the indication of a great mind" Iwas written by Addison about 11700,
The world of to-day does not agree. Reserved people are usual- ly wet blankets. Those of whom it is said that they have a great deal in them which they do not care to give out are for the most part unsocial and quite with out charm. And most of them have nothing to give out in any case. Silent folk maintain a per- petual attitude of defence. They risk.nothing.and avoid many hard knocks which are met by the mentally active and venturesome. In a word, allence is a sign of selfishness.
The social life of to-day depends
on the good will which men and women throw Into the interchange of ideas; and there can be no doubt that the habit of talk has a most civilising effect on all classes. Oddly enough, it is talk, and not silence, which has put a curb on self-indulgence. The pleasure in dining out a no Innger chiefly derived from the food and wine consumed. Gluttony and drink have been killed by conversation.

It is, however, undoubtedly so that most even of the wives who become real friends are at lengt intensely sentimental, and it is their realization, first, of the fact that a man's nature does not call for sentiment, or respond to it, In the same way as a woman's, and, after that discovery, the deter mination not to let their real feel- inga appear, that enable auch women to attain a position in their "man's" affections infinitely more valuable than the precarious instability of their former hold over his passions.
The wife who greets a tired "daily, breadder" with torrents of sentiment, because it is their wedding anniversary, or because the sunset is much the same as that which inspired his proposal, deserves the fate so admirably portrayed in the lines.
