IF YOU WONDER WHY MEN LEAVE HOME. LOOK AT THESE VERY BASIC FACTS
by Robert Cummings
ARE YOU BORING
YOUR HUSBAND "2
A woman can lose a man by too much emphasis on chil Bob's new Warner picture is "Dial M dren. Mary Cummings reached a balance as wife, mother. For Murder" co-starring Grace Kelly.
Some guys have all the luck. Like me, for instance. I have Mary. And you can take it from me — I'm never bored with her.
Mary is that rare kind of wife who is always able to keep a husband interested. She has most of the qualities that I think are necessary in any woman if she is to be a good mate.
She has a real brain, for one thing. She has an extremely logical mind — and she's anything but a flighty, jellyfish personality. She has strength, with moral stamina, and she can meet any crisis with calmness and serenity.
I can still remember how she took over when my mother was dying. Mother had been in a coma and didn't recognize anyone. At the time I had to leave on location for a picture and I was wondering if I shouldn't simply cancel the contract, but Mary pointed out that I would do mother no good by remaining at home.
"You can't help mother by staying here," she said, "so the only unselfish thing for you to do is to make the picture and to earn the money to take care of her and of the
family. Why just stay here and worry?"
She assured me she would handle all the details. While I was away, mother died. Mary managed all the necessary arrangements and did so without any hysteria or any frantic wires to me.
Then there was the time Mary was waiting for Patricia to arrive. I wanted to be with her when the baby came but I had already signed to do a New York play and again I was uncertain as to the course I should take. Mary insisted I go ahead and do the show, and she stayed home, had the baby, and then three weeks later arrived in New York with Patricia.
Mary runs our house — even to being my business manager and handling all legal and financial matters. When our house was being built she was actually the contractor. She would go out in the coldest weather, sit by a fire, and check on the building. She made certain that we weren't gypped by unscrupulous men and that there was no waste As a result, she saved a tremendous amount of money in the construction of the house. (continued ON pace 67)
