Worry Is Caused by Failure To Be ‘Right Kind of Wife'

By RUTH MILLETT YOUR happiness in marriage depends, in large measure, on the extent to which you live up to your own’

ideas of your role as a husband or wife.

That is surprising finding of Dr. Robert 8. Ort of Wabash College who has been making a study of happiness in marriage.

It may explain, in part, why so many wives seem to be unhappy without much cause; why their un-

happiness often seems all’ out of proportion to the trivial complaints they make against their husbands.

Their dissatisfaction may be based not on the failure of the men they married as husbands but on their own failure to live up to their ideas of the kind of wives they meant to be.

It wouldn't hurt any wife, who knows she isn't as happy as she could or should he, to take a sheet of paper and write down on it the qualities she thinks are important in a wife.

Ruth Millett

” » n n ” SHE should go over that list and ask herself honestly how her own behavior as a wife stacks up with the way she thinks a wife should be and do.

Is she has to admit that she falls far short of approaching her own ideas of what a wife should be, then perhaps she has found the reason for her unhappiness. Then she can try to root out her dissatisfaction with her marriage by trying to change herself, rather than by wishing her husband were different, or by y trying to 0 change him.

Way to Darken Room

By ELIZABETH HILLYER EVER SINCE cheerful color schemes exiled the old dark green window shade, it hasn't been as easy to darken a room. Too many light-covered cloth

shades let too: much light through the window for baby at nap time, or for grown-ups who work at night and must sleep during the day. Of course. we won't go back to dark shades and smudge color schemes inside and spoil the uniformity of windows outside.

THE ANSWER, instead. is a

new room darkening shade that comes in white and light colors.

These shades are made of a close-woven, durable cambrie that is opaque enough to transform a sunny room into a darkened nap spot with no trouble at all. Make sure your new shades fit the window as tightly as possible and they keep out both cold and heat. The dead air space, motionless air, between the shade and the window is very worthwhile insulation.
