S3Ss3that there were
various things about which they did
not agree.
hundreds OF other young married
couples have made the same discoV-
cry, and although it surprised n
shocked them they have been too
wise to allow it to wreck the happl-
ness Of their married lives.
Mr.. and Mrs. Browne were thus
wise. They wasted no time in I'M
dignihed and Improbable wrangling
over their differences of opinion, but
neither of them yielded one jot or
little to the other. They simply kept
silence on all topics on which they
should disagree.
Happily also Tor them their diff
ferences OF opinion were in regard to
the minor things ofliie. and although
it is the little foxes that destroy the
vines" their little differences did not
destroy their worldly happiness, each
of them being blessed with abundant
good nature in spite of the firmness
| of opinion that made them decline TO
Weld one 10 the other.
Mrs. Gibson Browne was a high
church Episcopalian, while MIR. Glib
son Browne was inclined toward
Unitarianism, but Mrs. Browne did
not become a Unitarian, o did Glib
son his faith and become
an Episcopalian-and vet they were
happy as married folks go.
Mrs. Browne was decidedly OPP
posed to all operas in which there
was n ballet, while Mr.. Browne was
fond OF a ballet purely because OF tile
artistic effect il gave to operate
scenes. and he wenL to the opera
whenever he felt like doing so, and he
did not annoy his wife 10y telling her
anything about it.
And when Mrs. Gibson wished tc
do anything she felt it was perfectly
proper for her to, even though Glib
son did not approve of it, she simply
and quietly did il, and Gibson wa
none the wiser. There were time:
