That Is TO say, the Woman who is
Married TO a Man.
From The New York sun

The Bible says something about it,

Education
Isn't education blessing if you have
it2
That depends.
There is, then, education and educa-
tion}
Most distinctively
How long has this woman been mar
riedl
Ten years
How old is she now7
Twenty-nine.
She was married at 49, then2
Yes, and her husband was 70
Is she happily married.
Oh, she seems to get along very COM
fortably with her husband.
They appear TO be tired of each other3
No, not that; they are used to each
other
They don't talk much, do they7
They havn't anything to talk about.
Why not2
Well. she talks to her friends, and he
talks to his and they have gradually set
tied into the belief that husbands and
wives don't have to talk to each other
Is IL that they are unCongenialf
She would not say.
But they were devoted lovers2
Devoted.
Couldn't stay away from each other a
minutel
Not unless they were perfectly misera-
BILE.
They had plenty to talk about, then1
Not plenty in quantity, but in quality;
the subject is one that stands an infinite
amount of talking under favoring condi-
tions.
Love, presume?
OF course,
Why don't they talk It MOVIE
They're married.
| Don't married people talk love}
They say it is so silly.
Don't you suppose they thought of this
when they were courting2
Hardly; Courtship is not time of
thought for ones future beyond the we'd
ding day.
People make mistakes in that, don't
| theyl
Yes, indeed
But these two were so youngl
That's one of the mistakes.
Should she have waited}
At least five years. A woman can do a
vast deal of beneficial thinking in five
years at that period of her life.
Would she have thought while she
waited7
The years compel il; for years bring
experience, and experience Is a school in
which even fools must learn
Don't people become set in their ways
if they wait too longl
II they do, it is not near so bad as get
ting set in each others ways, and going
about together as one person. always
Ilonely unless that person have company.
Some women have cOngenial husbands,
haven't they?
Yes, but not as the result OF youthful
marriage, prompted by a wild. tmul-
tuous, absorbing, ineffable unalterable
love- such as summer novels are loaded
with.
What do you expect them TO have7
| just that.
Is there a remedy2
Yes, they should be sensible.

No, but there would be happier, at least
! pleasanter, marriages. IL isn't quantity
| so much as quality that we need in this
! business.
Shouldn't wives and husbands be lovers
Better to be friends and companions.
| Whyl
Because lovers quarrel and are silly
| they neglect forbearance and depend upon
! forgiveness; they wound and count the
lfv,rr n.fg
think afterward. Friends don't do that
| they forbear so they need not forgive
they make no wounds 10 heal they think
before they act. In other words, they
are rational beings.
But cold and unfeeling2
Not at all; for friendship is more en-
during than love, as love Is generally
practiced.
Don't most women say they prefer e
quarrel and make up2
Most women say great many things
they are sorry for.
| Is marriage failure}
Like every other human affair il IS il
improperly managed
And the women are the heavier loosersi
Ninety-nine per cent. of them are.
Whyl
Because they are women.
What are they going to do about it2
Nothing, | fancy They are used to It.
| Couldn't they do something's
| Certainly. but not until they have un.
! educated themselves of the fallacy that q
woman must marry, just because she
! thinks she is in love- and knows she could
not exist two minutes without her dear
one; or until she has unlearned that
! other fallacy that any husband is better
! than no other husband.
Then being an old maid is not the worst
| thing in the world
! Ask this wife we are talking about,
! and hear what she says.
And vet this is not an unhappy wife2
Certainly not; she has only learned
that the realization is not what the ro-
nance was.
Is il ever so2
Very nearly; if the romance be grown
! in a soil Of sense.
Is this wife a matherl
She has three pretty children.
An, then she is happy in them2
Yes, but happy mothers are not always
hapdy wives.
Are there such women2
Plenty of them, and because there re
