Their matrimonial Fntcs.

Marriage has always been one Of the
worlds greatest themes. Interest never
flags in the subject. Men have tired Of
TIER own matrimonial experiences some
times, but Of other peoples never.
The great thing. as a wise philOso-
pher said is to get the right girl. There
is no stereotyped way OF getting her.
Just as men have found different ways
Of proposing SO there have been endless
ways in which men have met their fates.
A romantic element is mixed up with most
love affairs.

proposed and been accepted by letter, and
the marriage day fixed, she frankly told
him that although she married him. she
was not IN love with him. Their married
life was long and happy and the loss of
his wife was blow which he did not
long survive.
