Little Problems
sf cTVlarried Life
By
WILLIAM GEORGE JORDAN
(Coprrtunt;
HOLDING MONOTONY AT BAY.
Monotony is the malaria of matri
mony. It poisons the home atmo
sphere, gradually exhausts the life-giv
ing oxygen of love and comradeship
and leaves one stilling in un air of dis
content, protest, and rebellion. It
means dull, deadly depression of spir
its, a general tired feeling regarding
life, weakened hope and will, loss of
appetite for the trifles of every-day
living, a lis!less, languid indifference,
a nervous irritability difficult to con
trol. It takes all the brightness and
vividness from the color scheme of life
and thought and leaves them a cold,
dismal gray. This monotony saps the
vitality of mental, moral and physical
resistance to trivial cares and worries
that assume portentous proportions like
figures blurred into bigness by a fog.
It needs the fresh tonic ozone of
change, the vitalizing sunlight of a new
interest, the windows of life opened
wide for freer air and a broader out
look.
Monotony in married life is an In
sidious evil. It is hard to cure but
easy to prevent. Husband and wife
should realize that it rests solely with
them; the conditions are absolutely
within their control when acting iu
unity and harmony; either can do
much, neither can do all. They can
create tin atmosphere of comradeship,
cheerfulness, and courage that defies
monotony. It takes so little to hold
It at bay, in the beginning: it takes
so much to kill If. In the end. It Is
easier to dodge a few snovvflnkes than
the wild fury of the storm at its worst.
The secret of monotony Is over-ab
sorption of the head or the hands
where the heart is not in it. It is the
overfeeding of one side of life at the
expense of the other: h Is the pros
trating effect of unbroken sameness.
In an environment.
Th»' wife in her devotion to her homa
may place a false »• <i11u:ite on trilles.
She may become house bound; nmr
crossing the threshold except when ab
solutely necessary. she may unconsci
ously convert her home into a prison
and submerge the wife in the house
keeper. The unending repetition of
the same duties, tiiis continuous per- !
formance without change <>r intermis
sion. begins to chafe and fret and I
weary her; it seems like the regular
tramp of a vast army on the march
continually passim: but never passed.
The deadly routine begins to wear on I
her nerves, like ♦!:•» irritating, insist- I
ent tick of a clock in a sick room. |
The narrow horizon of ht-r living de- j
presses her spirits; she grows fault-1
finding, dissatisfied helpless and hope- |
less. The stilt of life has lost its sa- |
vour.
She must lessen the tension some!

get out for a chat.ge of thought and
experience. L«>t her turn her steps to
the green pastures of rest and resto- j
ration, take a walk or a drive, hear i
a little music or see a play, make a i
visit or entertain a caller, go shop

it is only buying that costs, read some
hook even though it is only "one of |
the best sellers"—anything that will j
freshen the mind, quicken the blood, i
gladden the heart, or put a new edge I
on life. i

seriously. It Is delightful occasionally ,
to turn your buck deliberately and Im
politely on a duty for a while. to give i
salntship a little vacation, for the duty |
does welcome you so when you return
and It does not seem half so hard.
Much of our loyally to duty is simply
disloyalty to higher duties ar.d when j
we are dulled by monotony, we do not
differentiate clearly between them.
There are honest, earnest. goo«l women
who, like Martha of old. are "cumbered i
with much serving." Th.n' let the j
house eclipse the home. Croat tire com
fort overshadow h irt co:af rt: they
make themselves injflt companions for
themselves, much less fur their hits- j
bands. They should cultivate the
courage let go: they should realize :
that monotony Is sievi r a 1>: rg: in. tiev
er worth what they pay for It.
There are other wives who have no |
cares nor responsibility, no tax en time
or energy, no money worri.-s; burdens i
of housekeeping are r dttci d lo a inin- !
Imutn bv the hel; of cl'icinil servants; '
the children :irc away at school. These
wives, too. often face monotony. It is
not the monotony of work, but of leis
ure.
In the absorption of making money
for the support of home and family a
husband may lose the true perspec
tive of life. lie may become unduly
anxious fur more nn^iey ;*he n?ay keep
his desires too high; he may be sac
rificing too much of his real self In ac
quiring wealth. In over-absorption In
providing all that money can buy he
may forget the greater things that
mere money cannot buy, forget that
mere material things do not bring real
happiness. If he goes home tired,
physically, mentally and morally, and
is pre-occupied and silent or Irritable
: nd fault-finding, he Is drifting to
wards the rocks of matrimonial mo
notony.
The failure of many marriages Is not
any great positive wrong nor even a
series of lesser wrongs but Just lap
sing Into the omiss-lon of words and
vis of love, comradeship, thoughtfnl
oess, confidence and interest that mean
the joy of life; It Is surrender to mo
notony that may at last bring revolt
and a break for freedom. And two
who have loved may just grow tired of
each other, hardly knowing why o*
when or how—and both may be to
bin me.
Monotony means surrender to an
environment, not conquest of It. Man
is the only animal that can consciously
change from within, change manners,
thoughts, impulses, desires, dreams,
Ideals. Man Is the only animal that
can consciously modify his environ
ment, by deliberate choice move to an
entirely different one, transform an old
or create a new environment.
The blight of monotony is not sole
ly one of wealth or of poverty. The
less the income and the more restricted
I he life the less is required to do some
thing that will break the spell of mo
notony. that will bring a change, a new
Impulse, a new impetus, a new Inspira
tion. A dinner away from home, an
evening at the theater, a long ride or a
sail, a day at the beach, a walk In the
country, a visit or a guest, some new
books, may be the trifle that may break
the deadly dullness of uniformity.
