Whom to marry and when to marry
arc grave questions that confront many
people who have not yet come to feel
that marriage is lottery, says tho Bos-
ton Globc.
Hence arise questions like tho follow
ing:
1. How can tell when love?
2. Can / afford to marry, If poor?
8. What sort Of person will I be
happy with?
4. Will I always be loved?
5. Will l always love?
q. Will l over SEQ somebody whom
will love moro?
z. Shall marry young or shall wait
until am mature?
8. Should n MAJ marry widow?
8. Should a girl marry q widowerr
10. Is it always we'll to marry if one
loves?
II. Is thcro love at first sightp
~. What il lovo at first sight?
And many others.
Yo who arc married can best answer
many of these questions. Only one who
has made experiments in marriage in all
its phases could singly answer all of
thcm. And not unlikely the result of
such experiment. would provo any thing
but edifying.
am, therefore, prepared only to givo
tho result of my own venture in tho
matrimonial boat as a partial guide,
completing tho latter by giving tho re-
suits Of othor mems and many women's
ventures, or marriages.
Now, she with tho red check or she
with tho big blue eye may sec across the
aisle i'll tho little school-room bright
little fellow whose clothes fit as nicely
and look as pretty as those of tho doll
she takes delight in fondling at homo.
For q doll is the first object outside
tho immediate household for which your
your littlo daughter shows any liking.
Tho doll is hor beau ideal. To win her
favor ono must conform to that model.
Its shape, tho color of it's hair and
eyes, its clothing, speak to her language
mystic and full of meaning. To her it
is tho symbol of mothers caro-, first
love. wifcly devotion, and perhaps tho
incentive Of those sweet batteries that
in after years may turn somo poor fol-
lows head.
And as our impressions Of what VIC
need arc truc or false, so will posscs-
sions bring JOY or sorrow, and when tho
question comes to us. whom and when
shall VIC marry? we should inquire into
our needs and ascertain just what sort
of a partner will supply our needs.
Tho question should never resolve
itself into whether blonde should
marry blonde, whether brunette should
marry brunette. or whether partners
should be Of different complexion. An
investigation on tho complexion hypoth-
csis might provo entertaining, but
would, fear, bring us back to whore
VIC started. But to my answers.
l. You arc in lovo when you absolute
ly need the object Of your affection.
,. a poor person can afford to marry If
marriage will increase tho possibilities
Of escape from poverty.
8. You will DO happy with tho one
whose tastes, education and moral views
arc similar to your own.
4. You will always be loved if you OBJ
servo tho above rules and do not lose
sight of tho fact that
Still in n:u: ual su or nco lies
Tho secret OF t:uc living;
Love scarce is love Cat docs not know
Tho sweetness Of forgvng.
5. Yon always will lovo If you realize
that obedience to duty is tho only med
cine for conscience, and that perfect
happiness is this world at least 10 but
tho shadow Of n dream.
@. You will 500 somebody whom you
will lovc moro when your sense of duty
becomes blunted, which will only hap
pcn in case you havo not observed tho
first rulo laid down.
g Marry young il your nature has
developed fully; If not, wait until your
nature has developed. Rather than
marry whom undovcloped never marry
ut all.
