MATRIMONIAL METHODS,
How Some Unhappy Marriages Are BrouEh
About.

HOW SomO unhappy Marriages Are Brought
About.
It IL one of the misfortunes of tho
American plan of leaving the choice
and decision of marriage almost alto
gether in the young man and woman
concerned, that they are both called
upon to live up to an impossible and
romantic ideal, in a matter which has
about it much that must be decided in
the cold light of common sense, if
marriage is to be in all respects
happy one. A happy marriage without
love is doubtless impossible, but it is
equally impossible without solid basis
of character, of mutual tastes, and of
common desires and aims, innate or
acquired. In France, where marriages
are settled almost altogether with ref
erences to the latter considerations
joined to an adequate pecuniary prep.
aration-there are quite as many happy
marriages as here, where the pecuniary
side of the marriage gets little or no re-
gard, character and common tastes less
than they should, and passionate, but
it may be transient, love is held as sufi.

of the qualms, regrets and forebodings
which with American women accom-.

to a consciousness that the article OF
love given and taken is not of that ro-
mantle and ideal stamp which novel.

Of French prudence and French little
more of American romance both would

conception and false expectation in re-
gard to marriage is the belief that the
first object of marriage is to make a
man and woman happy, while it's first
and true purpose is to make their lives
more complete. Marriage is not SO
much the fountain of unbought happi-
ness as the scene and source of mu-
tual discipline by which character is
improved and out of which happiness
comes. In marriage, as in all else, it is
not what people gain, but what they
give that brings happiness.-Elmira
