u, Domestic Difficulties.
: What is true about the difficulties b
tween the children of a home is ais
:, true in reference to most Of the didicu
- ties between husbands and wives. Il
> stead Of some men and women lookin
= upon the marriage altar as an opportI
J. nifty for promoting the happiness O
+ their marital partners, they look upO
= 1t as stepping stone to a throne
@ where they can make their husband
or wives work for them. Their mar
! riage altar is not symbolized by tn
beautiful nuptial ceremony which tn,
Cherokee Indians used to have. Ther,
the young bride and groom used t.
stand upon the opposite banks Of g
brook and clasp hands over the run
ming waters to show that hereafter
their interests and work were to flow
together as the waters of a running
stream. But instead of some husbands
being willing TO go the twain mile for
the wife, or some wives being willing
to go TO the twain mile for the hus-
band, each says, 4 win do for you
what am compelled to do, and will
not do anything else"
A young. man wooes, wins and mar
ries a young girl She has been brought
up in well to do fathers home. She
was an only daughter. and to great ex-
tent she has been spoiled. Time passes
on. 1heyounghusDand tries to keep up a
home to the standard in which his wife
has been accustomed to live, but the
income is too small to meet the outgO.
Day after day he keeps saying: "Nel-
lie, you must economic. You must
lessen our expenses. Cannot you make !
your old hat do this winter? Cannot
you send the children to the public |
schOOlI' NO" she answers, I shall /
not. You married me, and it is your
place to take care Of me. I never
heard this nagging question of money,
money, money, in my fathers home,
and | ought not to hear it now" The
young man staggers on in his struggle
He takes to drink. Kind words are
now exchanged for angry ones. The
domestic difficulties eliminate in the
divorce court. Why? The wife was
to go the twain mile for her
husbands love. On the other hand. the
husband is just as much to blame as
he wife. From sickness or Overwork
he wife may become a nervous wreck.
IN her weakness is he always gentle? {
s he always kind? Is he always q
houghtful? Does he try to shield her !
IS he ought? Do the two angels Bear 9
