THINGS THAT A HUSBAND CAN’T UNDERSTAND.
(Whispered in confidence by one wife to other, wives.) That although I agree with all ho says about our local dancing instructor, and dislike him for his effeminacy, I still adore dancing-with him. That I never mind a bit when anyone else points out my mistakes at bridge, but feel miserably hurt if he does when other people are present. That I can laugh quite happily at somebody else’s husband making an idiot of himself for other people’s amusement, but feel deeply humiliated when my own man does it. That I simply cannot wear the evening dress he likes me in most at the club
dance next week because I wore it at the last club dance.
That I still desire a permanent wave in spite of the knowledge that ho thinks my hair beautiful naturally straight. That Ido not love his Aunt Amy. She regards him as a Valentino, and her one and only topic of conversation is his pro-marital adventures, all of which, according to her, were concerned with perfectly sweet girls who positively adored him. That if I sometimes seem—and am—a little jealous it is only because I love him so.—Home Chat.
