Ninety-n1ne per cent. are so.
How long does a courtship last?
Three or four months, more or less.
And a marriage?
From one to fifty years, more or less.
Then why shouldn't they talk of years
of real, rather than the months of ideall
It would brighten them away from each
other
Then married people are not altogether
wrong in saying sweethearts are silly2
Not altogether.
AS the old ones crow, can't the young
ones learn?
The potentiality is present, but the in
clination is lacking.
Shouldn't they Learnt
They should, perhaps but when it
comes to the test, the old ones sigh and
say: "Oh, let them dream on and be
happy; they'll have trouble enough by
and by"
Would they be nearly so liable to sor-
row if they thought more of the future?
OF course not, from rational point of
view
Then why don't they try to see what is
ahead of them2
l fancy they don't want to see.
Going it blind, ehl
Exactly.
Is there no remedy2
None. human.
Any divine?
Yes, if the Lord would only make low
ers honest and frank with each other in
every way.
Aren't they so?
Well, hardly.
In what respeCtl
They deceive each other in the minor
points of their characters; they conceal
their physical, mental, or moral weak
nesses they wear their company man
ners, and they are always as nice as they
know how to be.
Wouldn't it be rather embarrassing for
the youth and the maiden to exchange
such close conidences2
Possibly, but not half so dangerous to
their mutual happiness as to keep them
back until they marry, when discovery
must come, and it is too late to remedy
the evil
Can't two people be blind to each 9TH
er's faultsl
Yes, if all the world were blind to them
at the same time.
What has the world to do with itl
Everything; for each person is part of
it and what each is, determines to that
extent what the other must be-
Then marriage is not for two people on
ly?
Not if they expect to live in the world
of men and women.
How about courushipl
That is entirely for two people.
Why is that2
Because it is too uncertain to be de-
pended upon for steady use.
1t is pleasure merely theni
Marriage is business.
Then why spoil pleasure by business2
1t is the custom.
Do lovers love each other more than
m a 1.Yiad npOOla nn2
More in quantity, but not more in quail
ity.
How is that?
Lovers love comes out of joy and sun
shine, while married peoples love comes
of sorrow and trial and tribulation, and it
is quality, not quantity that can do that
Don't lovers have troubles, too?
Yes, as children do.
But there are broken hearts, aren't
there?
In novels sometimes, in poetry occasion
ally, and in songs often.
Never in reality?
Scarcely ever an incurable case, until
after marriage.
Then there is such a thing as a broken
heart2
There is something that bears the
name.
Don't young people sometimes kill them
selves Tor lOVeE
Love is the supreme selfishness; when
that is seriously shocked, as sometimes
happens, the sufferer is crazed Temporal
rily.
Isn't it permanent, everl
Not often; you have many times heard
of young person rescued from a watery
grave only to marry some other young
person than the one on whose account the
watery grave was sought.
What is said in the moonlight. then
by young persons in an ecstatic condition
is not always to be relied upon2
The moon is never the same any two
nights is succession.
And sweetheartsl
Mostly as the moon is.
How does it happen they ever marry at
all2
They often wonder at that themselves
after it is over.
Why do lovers quarrel2
Nobody knows.
Is it a good signl
1t is good sign of more Of the same
sort when they are lovers no longer.
Aren't lovers extremely fond of each
other2
They can't live without each other, they
tn ink
And after they marry?
Oftentimes they can't live with each
Olnef, Jney MINK.
How is it in fact?
They are mistaken in each instance.
There's a deal of uncertainty all around
then, isn't there2
There is, indeed.
Can it be.avoided2
Not on earth, and in heaven there is no
marrying.
Then lovers must love as they wine
The old old story is ever young.
And beautiful
Yes
Isn't the beautiful the good9
The good is the beautiful
Doesn't the rule work both waysi
Lovers think so.
And the world loves a lover?
They say So
Isn't it a truthful saying2
Possibly, but the world isn't marrying
a lover, just the same.
Isn't the sweetheart time the happiest
time in our livesl
Nothing like it,
Why2
Ignorance is bliss.
Then it is folly to be wisel
Yes.
Who are the wise2
Ask the married people.
