il Is noticed that the question "Is mar
risge a failure! Z" has been presented 10 the
readers Of the daily Dispatch for discussion.
No doubt this question has been well dis
cussed and considered, aud IL Is thought by
some properly answered. But It is believed
that marriage must be a failure without the
comforts aud conyeaieaces necessary 10 make
home happy, homelike, pleasant, and attrac-
live, and such canDo be the case without q

all kinds OF work, quiet In its movement,
