yX2omen % Why My Wife Left Me By DOROTHY DIX. , "The reason that my marriage was) a failure." said the tlrst man. "was I because I was that most despicable! of human creatures, a domestic ty rant. "Oh. of course, I don't deliberate- • Jy so to work to humble m\ wife's pride and crush her spirit and break her heart, but that's what it came to in the end. and now that I've gotten far enough away from the years of strife and struggle that composed our married life to a clear perspeo-. live on them. I don't blame her for' leaving me. It was the only thing that an intelligent human being with an inch of backbone could have done. "Yet my sin against her was the sin of ignorance, of not understand ing. almost the sin of inheritance. { for I treated my wife as I had seen n>y father treat my mother. I didn't have sense enough to see that a new generation of women has arisen that demands to be deait with on a new platform. and that the girl of to-day will no more stand for being made a doormat of as her mother did. than th« free man will stand for being kicked around and downtrodden like a slave. "I was no more overbearing and dictatorial to my wife than my father was to his. I will say that in my own defense. My mother endured her per secutions without a whimper or a pro test. jly wife went to Reno. There >'ou have the measure of the two gen rations of women, and it's a cold, hard fact which we men will do well to sit up and take notice of. Tlie Wrong Xttitude. "I married a beautiful young wom an, with whom I was head o\ or heels In love, and with reason, for she had every quality calculated to make her. under proper conditions an ideal mate f>>r a man. She was intelligent, and highly educated, college bred: she was keenly alert and alive, and inter ested in evervtljing in the world: she had been in business before we were married, and had commanded a good derie that should have revolted the salary, and she was proud, and inde pendent. and high spirited. "Wouldn't you have thought that any body with sense enough to be per mitted to roam around loose in a com munity would have had sufficient in telligence to drive a woman like that with a light hand, and to give her her head, knowing that that was the only way to keep her from getting restive in double harness and bolting? "But I didn't. 1 set out—OJod for give me —to break her spirit, to make her give the obedier.ct of .1 i hii.i to me. She was nev<*r to question my august will, but only to acquis, e in ■ my decision. You see, fool that I was. I was strong for the archaic Head of the House business, and deter- ; mined that I was going to be the boss in our establishment. "I began by taking the attitude of a little tin god. 1 never told ray w if« a word about my business. I ■ Mr . . Lieut. Commander Strite Is Dead in Hagerstown Special la The Teleg'CpS Hagerstown.

I simply announced my I decisions to her, and from them there i was no appeal. ; "Soon after we were married I de 'cided that I would like to live in the •suburbs, and 1 went out and rented ia house, and the tirst thing that my wife knew about it was when 1 tolrt her that the furniture men would be around to move us the next day. "But Tom. I don't care to live in the suburbs." my wife exclaimed. "You are away at our business all day. " I am at home. Surely it is ' more important to the woman where she lives than it is to the man. You should have considered my taste in the matter, and at least have let me pick out the kind of a house I want." "I have decided the matter." I re ! plied grandly, "and that ends the dis cussion." It did end the discussion, but it drove also the tirst nail into the coffin in which our love was to be buried. "I also refused to give my wife an allowance for the house and her per nor. I needs, and forco.l her to come to me like a beggar for every penny she spent. 1 wasn't stingy. 1 didn't t'xruoge a cent that It cost me to support my family in good style. On the contrary, it was a matter of pride to me that my wife was as well dressed and my house as handsome . as that of any in our set. "The only reason that I refused my wife an allowance was because it gratified my vanity for her to give a visible token daily of her depend ence on me. When she had'to come and ask me for a dollar and explain just what she was goirg to do with it. I felt myself some superior being, a source of blessings to a lowiv crea ture who was knocking her forehead three times on the floor in front of me. Killln&r Her Love. "And I never sensed how this hu miliation was burning into the soul of the woman who had been independ ent. or how pitifully mean and con temptible I looked in her eyes v hen 1 took advantage of holding the purse to degrade her to the level of a mern dlcant for the money that was as much hers as mine. "And there were other things. She could never do anything without ask ing my permission. She could not be long to a club without 1 graciously consented. She could not read a book, or hold an opinion, or see a play with out I approved of it. She could not have a friend without my < >. K. on her. She was nothing but a slave, and at last she did what every other slave with a particle of spirit does. She rebelled. She broke her bonds and escaped to freedom. "The failure of our marriage vas my failure. If X had treated my wife as an equal instead of an inferior: if I had realized that autocracy has played out just as much in the home as it has in government, ami if 1 had made of my wife a companion in stead of trying to make her a slave. I should not to-day be a lonely man • mourning his lost happiness." JR<»l MANIA BCTB WAB SUPPLIES Chicago.

High collars are rKttrnin? to favor and this waist gives evidence cf the fact but by no means all women are ready to accept them; therefore, a choice is allowed be tween that finish and the open neck. For the tailored suit and for all simple uses, there is no waist quite so good as the plain one and this model with patch pockets and yoke Mouse is exceedingly smart. Appropriately it can be made either from linen or cotton material* or from the silks that are used in the same way and many of the new silks are exceedingly beautiful in color and effect. Here white linen is used throughout, but a handsome and fashionable waist could be made by usftfg striped tub silk with white pique for the collar and cuffs. Colored waists will be worn this winter also and colored taffeta, colored linen or colored batiste would beexceedingly pretty made after this model with collar of the aame or of white. For the medium 6ize, the waist will require yds. of material 27, 2'4 yds. sb. 2 yds. 44 in. wide. The pattern of the waist 8470 is cut in sizes from 34 to 44 inches bust measure.
