By KATHLEEN NORRIS one fate harder than somebodys wife is nobodys wife. In those few words lies the truth of womans position, and theres no evading the disconcerting fact. To be the wife today of a man in service overseas is heartbreakingly hard. To be married here at home, to be trying to keep happy a nervous, overtired, anxious, irritable and unreasonable man, is worse. But not to have a man belonging to you at all, not to be able to turn to a mate, in these darkest days of the worlds history, is surely the worst lot of all. There are certain brief, intervals in a womans life when she may be happier single. When she is young and lovely, when she signs a new contract in Hollywood, when she makes a success along any line of business or professional adventuring, how delightful to be independent and free! its THE high-light- ed But that sort of fun only keeps for a flavor for a few months tew years at most. Then the chosen vocation, however filling to the mind and the purse, proves singularly unsatisfying to the heart. Passing love affairs so thrilling in the beginning, so quick to cool, so hard to dispose of only make her realize more keenly how they cheat her from, and Indeed unfit her for, that hard and sweet, exhausting and yet exhilarating, constantly pruned yet constantly growing, maddening, heart-fillin- g thing that is true marriage. Some Women Need Patience. Very rich and very famous women sometimes havent patience and character enough to achieve it. They fling themselves from divorce to divorce, often with disastrous effects on their childrens happiness, and always with the destruction of their own. But many a humbler, poorer womthat fate has an finds in middle-ag- e been kinder to her than she knew. Perhaps there were times in her younger wifehood when she gladly would have broken away. When ahe threatened to get a divorce, and certainly would have gotten it If Well, if Freds mother hadnt been so decent, for one thing. If her own mother hadnt been so aghast at the idea. If the children hadnt been so devoted to their father, and If their position hadnt been so much better, living in his home, than it would have been in the more modest establishment she would have maintained on allowance and alimony. Dignity, pride, a reluctance to blacken Freds character in the eyes of society all these hold her in place. So she endures the unendurable, swallows her pride, stifles her sense and Justice, gets over her of self-pity Being a wife is sometimes pretty hard. Its often tedious, frequently disagreeable. Prolr ably most every married worn-- ; an has wished, at least once in her life, that she could get out of her bonds. Being single has its attractions for a little when a woman is while young and attractive, or when she is succeeding in her career or business. But in later years, a woman appreciates the comfort and security of having a husband. Even if he is quite unsatisfactory, he is a source of strength and comfort. Its so nice to have some one to pet you and smooth you down when everything seems to go wrong; someone to lean on in difficulties, someone to rejoice with you in your triumphs, or the successes of your children. Many women who have con- templated divorce when mar--, ried life seemed unbearable, are glad they stuck it out afterwards. There is only one thing worse than being a wifejl says Miss Norris that is be-ing single. hus- The elephant is regarded as omnivorous, yet few animals are more fastidious over their food.
