IncOmpatihilitY.

| suppose that with all the reasons
that contribute to married unhaQpineSs-
intemperance. meanness, cruelty. eXtray-
agence. inhdelity, difference in religion.
difference in nationality, difference in
age-incompatibility leads the list. writes
Mary Stewart Cutting in 'IIarper'S Ba-
Ear. 1t seems to me to he one of those
words like Humpty Dumptys in "Alice"
that can be made to mean anything one
pleases.
lncompatibility may cover persistent
and irritating divergence of habit or
preference i'll regard to almost anything
between two people. 1t has to be be-
| tween two--one alone cannot be incom-
parlblc any more than one alone can
make a quarrel. What one does that
is irritating the other must outwardly
or inwardly resent An incompatible
wife. There are many couples
who never separate publicly who grow
more and more separate every year. Yet
II IS 50 possible not to mind little habits
little peculiarities. il one can only think
1t possible Here is where perspective
comes Inf one can only see the things
TO be little. The trouble is that all lit
tie things have their root in something
that IS big, when one traces them
Perhaps all incompatibility has its
root in the thought. IF he loved me very
much he would wish to please me-" That
is what makes the denial hurt But peo-
pie who insist on differing have an in
sane desire to be continually justified
by the verdict of others, although that
verdict can only separate them the more.
Married people may differ on almost
every known subject, and yet not be in
the least incompatible-they may sim
ply agree to differ. But incompatibility
must be justified aloud. must talk of
itself, although the hearers writhc under
such remarks as That's SO like you,
Frank, to contradict me. OF course, dear,
any one would know 1t was your wife
you were talking to-"
"Oh, my dear woman. l hope You
don't think | expect politeneSs from my
husband any more. That would be too
much"
Sometimes women learn whom no one
ever thought would learn. Sometimes
true religion speaks to the heart that
has seemed only vain and shallow, whose
only strong feeling has been selfish,
Sometimes mans whole nature
changes; he becomes thoughtful. gentle,
no longer combative. little wisely sad.
| Even the most trivial. the most shrew-
( ish, the most brutally selfish person has
moments when it seems as if he might
change. if the other one, the partner
in his compatibility. would only see at
the some moment-would help by saying
the kind thing or not saying the cruel
one-could forget his or her own side
just at that moment.
1t all comes around TO one Of two
things With all married couples who
differ in habit in taste. in opinion. in
mode of life, if there is to be any hap
piness somebody has to learn to give
up. or give up Winding that there is a
/ difference Either way is as good as the
other. 1t is surprising how many things
are not of any Importance if one can
only think they are not.

A Double Life.

fully that her friend saw at once that if

"A double life, is usually understood to
mean Il life of apparent propriety cover
ing another life of hidden evil. But
there is another way of doing il. namely
the way the lady intended.
What did she mean? She meant thar
she lived one life of plain fact and an
other of gilded fancy. Her cjrcum
stances were those of the large middle
class, and her time was occupied chiefly
with the ordinary routine of household
cares. But her tastes and lodgings were
far removed from her surroundings and
occupations, and she had formed a habit
OF imagining herself in conditions of
wealth and leisure, 50 that as often as
her domestic duties relaxed their grip
she gave herself up to the pleasing fan
cies with which she had saturated her
mind. and dwelt in her little private ely
stun until the clock or the do0rbell called
her back to the workaday realities.
1t may be that such double living is
more common than we think. Indeed
we all indulge it to some extent. as when
we are absorbed in a descriptive nara

any one faculty dimnishes the Others.
