Many Deem Monogamy Easy Yoke Voluntary Husband Finds Real Happiness in Marriage. BY GRETTA PALMER Times Special Writer. YORK. April 19 —Leopards are more faithful .husbands than men, according to the animal painter, Lynnn Bosue Hunt. And he is not making any dirty aspersions on the home life of leopards, either. “Animals,” he adds, ‘‘aren’t

fickle.” This is pretty academic information for most wives of erring husbands. It is hardly practicable for them to say. “Go to the zoo, you philanderer,” when they have evidence that their loved ones are under an alien spell. And leopards, anyway, always have been noted for their conservatism remember your

proverbs. The arresting thing in Mr. Hunt's statement is the fact that it causes us a mild shock of surprise, because of our quite unscientific belief that promiscuity is the instinct of every animal, including man. Monogamy, we somewhat conceitedly believe, is a thin and rather untrustworthy veneer imposed by civilization. Scratch a husband ana find a Don Juan. As it happens, there is little justification for the idea that monogamy is any more unnatural or difficult a state than the wildest promiscuity of, say, the chimpanzee. And on the other side, ladies, we have with us the voluntary husband —not the one who was carried, kicking and screaming, into a marriage that was not his choice but the i.usband who married the girl he really wanted to. He is, I contend, as smug and contented and thoroughly Well adjusted a creature as exists in the world today. He is no longer exhausting him,self looking for love, because he has niund it, and he can devote the energy he would have used in philandering to things that are a lot more fun. A. faithful husband, women have been instructed, 1/3 one of nature’s noblemen, constantly warring with his natural instincts and remaining close to his home fire only by constant reference to his religious and moral cede. Well, what religion or morals has the leopard get? The man who finds difficulty in remaining faithful is the pian who has married the wrong girl. And. of course, there are a good many of him around. But let him ever get a divorce and marry a second time—more happily —and you will find him immune to a whole row of expert sirens, taking several hours to pass a given point.

A Woman’s Viewpoint BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

OUT of the mouths of babes may come foolishness as well as wisdom. Thus, when a young Ohio eligible explains to me that the underlying reason why men prefer nitwits to smart girls for wives is because they know the bright ones use their brains to dominate husbands, I only can reply that his opportunity for observation has been limited. The doctrine is believed commonly and accepted as true, but it is a parrot theory for all that, deriving its main strength from repetition. Somehow the idea has developed that intelligent women always henpeck their husbands. It should be obvious there can be no truth in it. The dumbbells are the ones to watch out for, boys. Smart girls have too much sense to resort to such stupid plans, and again, they do not like being mar-

ried to such weaklings as males who permit themselves to be henpecked. Indeed, all women secretly despise the person whom they can dominate, and men, I believe, feel the same. None of us actually desires slavish obedience. Husbands, although they talk about the vi tv ' of feminine refer women who talk right back to them when In their hearts they disLke the door-mat type, and even more distasteful is the pliant man to any woman, be she smart or a nitwit. There should be no such thing as conscious domination in marriage. We’ve long since outgrown that kind of tyranny and the person who thinks to build a home life on such a basis is due for a disappointment. This much is true: In any relationship the strong character will take precedence over the weak. When a woman seems to be the aggressor in the home you may be sure she is superior in one way or another to the man she has married. So, a parting hint to the boys: The man who would be boss in his own house must, by the force and excellence of his personality and character, deserve to hold the position. He may be certain no wife will grudge it to him. She will, instead, be proud to be mated to one whom she can admire, respect and therefore love, the only qualities that ever command obedience.
