We, the Women—
Line on the Wife Lately?
: By RUTH MILLETT WHEN A CHICAGO judge advised Blaine Johnson to try to win back his -live-alone-minded wife, he readily agreed.
Every other day the postman
brought to Mrs, Johnson a beauti fully - worded pg love |letter — the kind of letter calculated to ‘win any woman. Only — Mrs Johnson com- | plained to the judge — the letters were the same ones she had received during Mr. Johnson’s courtship of her. She had saved ‘the letters and her Bushand § had evidently. decided that if Euth Millett they | won her once—they would again. That is not such a funny story when you stop to think that all over the country “good” husbands are doing practically the same thing. ° They ‘are handing their wives the same old lines they used during courtship days—and expecting the same response. They haven't really taken s of their wives in years.
They don’t make love to the women .
of the present—they make love to the girls of the past. 1f she was cute at 18, she is still told she is cute, If she wowed the stag line at college dances, she is reminded of that whenever a buildup seems appropriate. #2» MOST WOMEN think too much about keeping up with their husbands to be guilty of “form letter” praise. : ; From “Aren’t you wonderful!”
they at least progress to “Aren't :
you smart!” and “Aren’t you successful!” They follow their husbands’ new interests year in and year out—so that they know their men as they are and not as they were. Many of them probably can’t even remember what kind of men they married.
But the average husband believes :
with Mr. Johnson that the line that worked once *is good’ forever. It’s a rare wife whose husband praises her for what she has become. At 18 she loved being told she
.| was “cute.” So at 40 she must pre-
tend to love it.
