Kathleen Norris Says: Marriage Without Tears Bell Syndicate—WNU Features. IThat is important is that when the house quiets down and the children are asleep Jack shall come into the kitchen and pick up a dishtmvel and begin to wipe dishes, while he says, “/ didn't mean to get started that way tonight, Nan. I guess l was just tired.” By KATHLEEN NORRIS MOTHERLESS girl of 19 writes me that she is go ing to wed her soldier in early March, and wants to know what “all the pitfalls of marriage are, and how to avoid them, and now to get along with out the coldness, criticism, nag ging, boredness that so often impresses outsiders as being characteristic of married life. “It scares me,” writes Marie-Therese, “to see the disillusionment that so many of my older friends have experi enced. I don’t mean actual ugliness and divorce. But I mean when the man wants to go to parties and the wife hates them, or he is late for meals, or she is a bad cook, or ex travagant, and they keep alluding to each other’s faults. ‘You’d never get Nancy to do that!’ the man says, and the wife says, ‘You know that when it’s a question between me and his mother, I haven’t a chance!’ “Jack is an instructor at an air base,” the letter goes on, “so we may be settled for quite a while. We have already rented a nice little house in a pretty old town; I have two girl friends in the same place. So it ought all to be perfectly ideal, and I want to do my part to keep it so. But having been brought up in the households of married cousins and aunts I know how the glamour can fade, and I dread even momen tary coldness or misunderstanding.” Some Live Happily. Your attitude, Marie-Therese, is a very lovely one, and speaks for a fine and gentle nature, and that nature will tell you more clearly than could any words of mine how you can cherish and cultivate the peace and love that are part of mar ried life. There are wives and hus bands who live without undignified squabbling and sulking. And even when they do squabble and sulk oc casionally, by some miracle that is marriage it is often not as serious as it sounds. It is nerves, fatigue, misunderstanding; it is outbursts of verbal fireworks that mean very little, and that sometimes clear the air. So that when a husband comes home at night to find out that his suit hasn’t come back from the tailor’s, that dinner is heated-up stew and mashed turnip, that ,his coffee ration is one half-cup, and that Nancy has promised to spend Sun day with the Millers, he is quite like ly to break into grumbles and criti cisms that he doesn’t really mean at all. Once the coffee and stew, the good corn bread and the prune whip are inside him, as he settles down at the radio with his newspaper, he feels quite differently. The food may have been humble, but it was warm ing and satisfying, too; rain is pre dicted for tomorrow, so he wouldn’t have worn his pressed suit, anyway; and he likes the Millers invitation well enough, especially as his de partment boss, Cutter, is to be there. And THAT is the time for Nancy to accept peace overtures in friendly simplicity, brushing off apologies with an amiable, “I knew you were tired. It’s all right.” Tired Mother Flares Up. Or perhaps it is Nancy who flares up. Any woman who has sole charge of a household and two or three small children, all through a sec ond, a third, a fourth rainy or snowy day, has a right to run away into the high mountains and never be seen again. She can’t do that, but what she CAN do is break loose at the first unpleasant word, and meet EVER AFTER “And they lived happily ever after” .. .The fairy tales we read as children always ended that way. But the divorce records don’t. From an unhappy mar riage to an even unhappier, lone ly post-Reno existence go hun dreds of women each year, wom en who thought that wedded bliss could be bought for the price of a vjedding ring. It cant, of course, and neither can a happier state be purchased for a divbrce law yer s fee. If not “ever after” these women could certainly have lived happily most of the time if they had followed the advice giv en by Kathleen Norris this week. Jack’s weary dissatisfaction with complaints of her own. If he thinks it’s easy, these days, to go shopping about for butter and coffee, with the baby down with a croupy cough and Johnnie’s rubbers two sizes too small for his new shoes, she wishes he’d try it! No place to dry the wash except the basement, such a racket from the school-yard next door that the baby frets waked up from her nap every single day, and the car practically laid up for the duration! All this isn’t so important. But what IS important is that when the house quiets down and the children are asleep Jack shall come out into the kitchen and pick up a dishtowel and begin to wipe dishes, while he says, “I didn’t mean to get started that way tonight, Nan. I guess I was just tired. I know you’re having a pretty hard time.” And that Nancy, instead of reliev ing herself with a high-voiced angry “Don’t you ever think for one in stant, John Baker, that you can come home and snarl at the children and criticize me and then come out here and have everything all won derful again!” shall accept his help, and perhaps remind him that these are strained and anxious times. She shall remark tha* the great cloud hanging over us all is bad for our nerves, that business men are en during privations and facing difficul ties never known in our happy pation- al history before and that when she and Jack get through these war years, the sweetness of peace, the pride of watching their boy and girl grow to manhood and womanhood, will be all the greater. Annoyances Will Appear. But make up your mind, Marie- Therese. that with all the wonderful, companionable, miraculous elements that make up marriage, the little annoyances and mistakes and disil lusions creep in, too, as they do in all human lives. Just as many long- anticipated parties will turn out to be ♦ailures. Just as many invest ments in a new dress, in a club, in an entertainment, won’t be worth while. He’ll bring a friend home unex pectedly some night, when your din ner is one chop and one baked potato for him, and milk-toast for yourself because you’ve been feeling grippy all day. He’ll forget to tell you that Betty is engaged; he’ll drive you mad by telling you the way Joe Dokes’ wife manages that big house and those four spotless and impec cable children. On your side you’ll fail him, too. He won’t like the way you look the night you dine with the Captain; he’ll be shocked by domestic expenses, no matter how well you manage; and when there’s a baby to sit in a high- chair at breakfast he’ll ask you in a martyred tone if you know anything else but stories of the baby’s smart ness.
