There are mighty few young people
who go into marriage with any real
idea of what it means. They get their
notion, of it from among the clouds
where they live while they are en-
gagged, and naturally about all they
find up there is wind aud moonshine,
or from novels which always end
Just before the real trouble begins, or,
if they keep on, leave out the chapters
that tell how the husband finds the
rent and the wife the hired girls. But
If there's one thing in the world about
which it's possible to get all the facts
it's matrimony. Part Of them are
right in the house where you were
born and the neighbors have the rest.
It's been my experience that you've
got to have leisure to be unhappy.
Half the troubles in this world are
imaginary, and it takes time to think
them up But it's these oftener than
the real troubles that break young
husbands back or young wife's
heart.
A few men and more women can be
happy idle when they're single, but
once you marry them to each other
they've got to find work or they'll find
trouble. Everybody's got to raise some
thing in this world, and unless people
raise a job or crops or children they'll
raise Cain. You can ride three miles
on the trolley car to the stockyards ev-
cry morning and find happiness at the
end of the trip, but you may chase 1t
all over the world In steam yacht
without catching up with 1t. A wom-
an can find fun from the basement to
the nursery Of her own house, but give
her a license to CAD the streets and
bunch of matinee tickets and she'll
find discomfort. There's always an
idle woman or an idle man in every
divorce case. When the man earns the
bread in the sweat of his brow it's
right that the woman should perspire
little baking it.
