Why some People Marry.

Some people marry for the fun Of the
thing, and never see where it comes il.
This is discouraging.
Some marry ior the sake Of a good
companion, and never discover their
mistake. This is lucky.
Man is fickle ''critter." Even Adam,
who had his wife made to order, found
more or less fault with her.
Don't marry q man ior his reputation.
It is liable to be only a second hand
affair borrowed from his ancestors.
Many women have married men ior
their fine exterior. But that's al there
is TO ~ ancient egg worth mentioning.
Marriage resulting from love at first
sight is generally wedding bliss on a par
with sour milk. One or the other gets
swiniled and often both.
Many man Las married for beauty
only to learn that he paid $50 tor What
can be purchased for p cents at al
druggists. This is hard.
But few people marry for pure lovc,
and they IL after years suspicion that
