The Married Woman and Her Romance
By DOROTHY DIX
I get a great many letters from mar
ried women, who assert they are vir
tuous and discreet wives and mothers,
yet who complain that they are an
noyed by the attentions of men who I
have fallen desperately in love with j
them.
Mail) Women Have an Insatiable Ap
petite for Romance
Sometimes this too attractive ma- .
tron writes that it is the family doc
tor, or even her minister, who cher
ishes an uncontrollable passion for
Jier: sometimes It Is the family friend, '
end not Infrequently it is a brother, '
<.r relative of the husband, who pesters
the lady with his lovemaking, and so ;
*he writes, asking me what shall she
do about it. how shall she stop It.
Perhaps such cases exist, but I am
• ure they are far more rare than my
correspondents think. Not every
woman who thinks herself a fascinator
could substantiate her title to the |
claim. Many women have such an I
Insatiable appetite for romance that I
they can manufacture it out of mere '
politeness on a man's part, and they j
go about fitting the halo of a lover on i
the unsuspecting head of every man
they meet. Many a man, who has!
never felt any impulse stronger than j
mere friendliness toward a woman, |
would fall dead with surprise if he
knew that she believed him to be per- i
Ishing of a hopeless passion for her.
Therefore, I take with a good many !
grains of salt any wife and mother's j
assertion tliat men persecute her with I
their unwelcome attentions. In case, j
however, that this is true, and some
man has fallen In love with her, there i
is no difficulty in her putting an end i
to his philandering, if she really wishes I
to do so.

SATURDAY EVENING,
Ilt is only in melodramas that the
"villain still pursues." In real life a
, woman has only to say "Scat!" to a
i distasteful lover, and say it in a tone
of voice as if she meant It. and h.
| scats over the back fence before you
i can say Jack Robinson. The difficulty
| is to keep a man in love with you, not
to prevent him from getting tired of
i you, and wandering off after a younger
! and fairer face. Especially when
, you're old enough to be a wife and
mother.
In all good truth, the woman who is
really honest at heart and desires to
1 run straight has little to fear from
' men. Practically every man tests
every woman that he meets as to her
: moral principles. If he ascertains that
she is one of those who is standing
around looking out for a tempter, he
qualifies l'or the job. but if he rec
ognizes that slio is one of the pure in
heart, he respects her Innocence. It is
curious, but true, that a man is equally
! willing to lead a woman up or down.
I As a matter of fact, men have such
I a reepect for goodness in a woman
' that only the lowest and most de
graded among them would turn a ,
i woman from the right path if they !
could.
Women Often Piny With Fire I'nlil I
Too Kate to Save Selves
Even the most evil men, knowing :
| too much of. evil women, have this
i ideal of a white and unsullied woman
hood. and any wife and mother has in ;
i her wifehood and motherhood a shield i
j that will protect her from any Lo- j
I thario if she cares to use it.
Not many men are so abandoned as ,
' to thrust unwelcome attentions upon an j
i honorable wife and mother, and the j
j married woman who finds herself in |
I possession of a lover has, at least, been
guilty of contributory negligence. Kike '
Barkis she has shown that (she was
"willing."
Of course, the situation often goes
beyond the limits the woman expected
it to. That's the trouble in playing
with fire. The married woman In
tended to be true to her husband and
children. She merely desired to nibble
once more at the very outer edge of
the cake of romane when she began
making eyes at her preacher, or doctor,
or the family friend, and she's discon
certed enough when she finds out that
the man wants to play the game out
to the end.
When a married woman begins dal
lying along the primrose path, there'*
j generally something pitiful about i\
ns well as sordid, because back of hei
I straying is the feminine never-endlns
I craving for sentiment and love, for
I something more than the dry husks
of matrimony.
She may have a good husband, a
eood home, all the comforts of life,
but her husband never shows her any
j loverllke attention, never notices how
she looks, never praises her. He ap
j parently regards her as just a cog in
I the domestic machinery, and the heart
of the woman, starving for some real
I manifestation of a living atfection.
[ takes forbidden fruit.
It is men's indifference to thelj.
! wives that makes so many flirtatious
j wives. This is. perhaps, no excuse for
i the women, but It surely should be a
i warning to the men.
N'o man who keeps his own love
| making up to the mark has anything
| to fear from other men, and by the
j same token no woman is pestered with
i love talk who doesn't lend a listening
car to it. I- or. after all, the love game
is not solitaire. It's a two-handed
' game, and It takes two to play it.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

Rood-looking. A year and a half ago
1 was Introduced to a young man
about four years my senior, whom I
liked very much until I met another
and neglected the tlrst one without any
explanation. I went out with the
1 second fellow, and then a third, to
whom I became engaged, and then
broke my engagement because I real
ized that I didn't love him. Went back
again with the second, and we couldn't
agree. Now I regret my treatment
of the first, for whom I think I cared
. most. WORRIED.
1 If you returned to the first alle
giance you would probably find your
self imagining yourself in love with
the second love, or the third, or even
a fourth still unmet. Busy yourself
| about some sensible work and try not
Ito put love and sentiment in such a
! prominent place in your thoughts.
I Your fickleness is likely to cause you
lasting unhappiness unless you take
i steps to discipline your own nature.

Birds With Strong Constitu
tions, Vigor and Vitality
Necessary For a Profitable
Flock
Freedom From Disease Taint
More Important Than Per
fect Shape and Plumage in
Breeding Pen
Copyright, 1914
By Dr. Thomas J. Clemens, Poultry
Editor of Philadelphia Inquirer
Many of the disastrous failures
Among poultry keepers may be traced
directly to a weakness in the physical
condition of the fowls. Any flock in
wliich the birds are not full of vigor,
or free from disease, cannot be made
to pay a profit to the owner. The egg
production from a flock of this kind
will be far below the average and very
often will not be enough to pay for
their food or keep. Besides the les
sened egg production, there will be a
low per cent, of fertility in the egg,
or, even if the eggs are fertile, they
will fail to hatch. Birds of known
ancestry, which ha\ s robust health
and are the only kind to use as breed
ers.
It is now time to ~ive the subject
of mating the birds for breeding
serious consideration. Selecting birds
for breeders which have strong, vigor
ous constitutions has more to do with
the success or failure in the poultry
industry than any other single fac
tor —in fact, vigorous stock is the real
foundation of the industry.
No other branch of live stock breed
ing has suffered more at the hands of
the inexperienced that that of poultry
keeping. Thousands of persons have
become obsessed with the notion that
all that is necessary to secure a per
manent Income is to move into the
suburbs and keep a flock of chickens.
They usually have kept a small flock,
figured the cost of feeding, calculated
the number of eggs which were pro
duced and found that it gave them a
margin of profit larger than usual,
considering the amount Of capital in
volved. By further reasoning that it
was only necessary to increase the size
of their flock, which netted such
handsome profits, the income for the
future is to them established. But
many are the wrecks which have
been cast upon the rocks of disaster
merely because the poultry-men were
Inexperienced when attempting things
on a large scale. In their calcula
tions no allowances were made for
losses not under their control.
Selection Begins With Chicks.
The real selection of the breeding
stock should begin with the hatching
chicks. Blood will tell in the poultry
yard just as it does in any other
branch of livestock breeding. If the
eggs are from vigorous, healthy stock
and have been properly Incubated they
will begin to pip on the twentieth day;
a few hours later the chick will
kick itself clear from the shell and be
scratching for its lirst meal before its
more weakly nest-mates have dragged
themselves from the shell. These
strong, lusty chicks will begin to ex
ercise from the very beginning, in
creasing their appetites and inciden
tally increasing their sise, They soon
DECEMBER 19, 1914.
will outstrip their weaker nest-mates
and by their strength force them
selves into a position to command at
tention. A strong constitution is thus
begun and if the chicks are fed nour
ishing food of well balanced rations
and are given sufficient exercise to
insure a healthy flow of blood they
will acquire a healthy body full of
strength and vigor which is so essen
tial for success in poultry culture.
Vigor: it is a quality very difficult
to measure in terms which will de
scribe the condition as it exists in dif
ferent individuals. It is a condition
which makes the early and highly de
veloped Individual productive and cap
able of reproducing its character
istics in its off-spring in great degree—
it is capacity for exertion.
The Vigorous Ty|>e
Those sturdy chicks which kick
themselves free from their shells
shortly after pVpping, take on a do
mineering disposition and, if a pullet,
she begins to lay at an early age, or,
if a cockerel, to crow about the time
his tail feathers start to shoot and
soon becomes boss of the flock. These
birds have vigor. If a hen lays 200
eggs or over on a year she certainly
has vigor of a certain kind, but of two
hens producing about an equally large
number of eggs under the same treat
ment and conditions, one may produce
perfect eggs which will hatch a large
percentage of vigorous chicks, while
the eggs of the other day may hatch
few chicks and of weakly constitu
tion. The former possesses vigor as
we use the term in poultry breeding.
If there is any question regarding
the vitality of a bird It should be re
jected as a breeder no matter how
perfect its shape or beautiful Its
plumage.
Best Brooders in Second Year
All other tilings being equal, birds
are best for breeding purposes in their
second year. The offspring are usu
ally of a higher quality and posses
omre vigor. It often happens that
there are not enough two-year-olds to
make up the desired unmber of breed
ers and it is necessary to depend upon
a flock of the yearlings to meet the
demands.
1 Young birds of both sexes, when
well developed, are as a rule surer
breeders. This is particularly true for
early hatches. When selecting pullets
for breeders those which have shown
exceptional vigor from the time of
hatching are the only birds to be con
sidered. They should be those which
rapidly grew into maturity, began
to lay large numbers of perfectly
shaped eggs. They should have a
large capacity for Work, should be the
first off the roost in the morning and
should be the last to seek the roost
at night and should spend their day
seeking food, always busy and active.
In type they should conform to the
Standard of Perfection as nearly as
possible but not over large, not too
small. Selecting them by their shape,
they should have a short, broad and
neat head, strong, short beak, full,
bright eyes, completly tilling the soc
ket, giving an impression of alertness
and brightness, comb well developed,
bright red and of fine texture. The
neck should be nicely curved and of
medium length. A broad, long back,
rather concave, finished out with a
well spread tail.
The shape of the body should be
what is known as wedge-shaped, or,
as it Is often expressed, V-shaped.
This V-shape should bo viewed from
three ways; on the sides, from the
rear to the front; over the back, from
the rear to the front, and from the
base of the tall to the abdomen up
wards. The body should be compact,
broad und deep, especially |ri abdo-
men, giving plenty of room for vital
organs, plenty of room to carry and
assimilate food and large development
of eggs. Good width between tho
pelvic bones and good distanco be
tween rear joint of keel bone and
pelvic arch are deslrablo qualities. A
long keel tapering up to a full, well
rounded breast will give room fol
io rge lung capacity and for organs of
digestion, making it possible for tho
bird to convert largo quantities of
raw foodstuffs into eggs. She should
stand on a pair of medium length
legs, set wide apart and upon spread
feet.
Jf possible she should be a descend
ant from a hen with a large egg pro
duction record and her siro should
have been a son of a heavy producing
hen.
Trap Nesting for Breeders
j When the pullets have been mated
I they should be trap nested in order
to determine the number of eggs and
the quality of chicks produced. Any
pullet which has proven itself an ex
ceptional layer and when her eggs are
hatched the chicks are of the vigor
ous kind she should be held for tho
following season. If by a special
marking system it is found that theso
pullets wero not only mothers of
vigorous chicks, but when her pullots
have also proven themselves except
ional layers these hens should be kept
as breeders as long as they produce
vigorous chicks.
When hatching from high producing
hens select eggs which are first laid
after the resting period, which follows
the moult. The llrst egj?s laid after
this resting period are popularly
posed to be the strongest in general
five power. The breeding hens should
not be forced for egg production, but
food of a higher nutritive value
should be fed to insure fertility.
As t<> Male Breeders
The breeding male is one-half of
the future flock and, if he fulfills his
destiny, should stamp his individu
ality upon his progeny to a very
noticeable extent. It is absolutely
necessary that he be a descendant
from birds which possessed except
ional vigor.
As a rule the male bird stamps his
color, shape and carriage on his pro
geny and if the females in the breed
ing pen be deficient in any particular
it is well to have this point accen
tuated in the male.
According to experiments made at
the Maine Agricultural Station it was
found that hens with high egg pro
ducing records were more likely to
transmit the laying propensity through
their sons rather than through their
daughters. From this experiment it
would show that the male to be used
In the breeding flock should be a sou
of a hen with a large egg laying re
oord. , , , ,
As an individual the male bird
selected to head the breeding flock
should have a decided masculine ap
pearance, of moderate size, stand upon
well spread feet, strong legs of med
ium length, placed wide apart.
lie should have a broad flat head
surmounted with a bright red comb
of good size, a bright eye slightly pro
truding. which seems to be always
alert. A 1 road long back, a deep
body and full breast are as essential
to the male as to the female.
Any bird which does not measure
up to these standards should be re
jected as breeders. By close applica
tion to these principles it is possible
to build up a strain which will con
form to the shape'and plumage of the
standard and develop into prolifio
layers, which will insure large pro
fits and be a credit to the poultry in
dustry.

Study of Flock For
Winter Eggs
Winter egg production depends
upon a variety of things. It is not
alone breeding, housing and feed
ing. It results from the proper
handling of tho fowls throughout
their egg-producing period.
Sometimes It is an individual
study of the flock. Feeds, too,
have to be changed according to
season. The itlnds of foods for
different breeds are also to be
considered. In other words, no
cut-and-drled method of raising
and caring for a flock designed for
layers can be given. But certain
general rules will be outlined in
next week's article.
