Search the lives of the men who have made
history, of the men who have achieved true great
ness, who have won fame, who have acquired
wealth.
The vast majority of them were married. OF
these the greater part married young. Their
wives, instead of Transforming themselves into
shapely but heavy millstones and dangling about
the CALLED necks of their liege lords, have, in
nine cases out of ten, done more than all other
influences combined to crown their husbands
lives with success. Nearly all great men who
have been married would confess they owed much
of their fame or wealth to their wives.
There are, of course, obstacles to happiness in
married life. So also are there reefs and shoals
in the Atlantic. But the sailor does not for that
reason become a landsman. He studies the shoals
and learns to avoid them. The pitfalls in matri-
mony can far more easily be studied and avoided
by any couple possessed of a moderate degree
of sense.
My belief. from observation, is that rs out of
100 marriages are happy, and that not more than
five out of that number are unhappy.
Apart from love itself there is a companionship
in married life that draws closer and more beau
tiful as the years go by.
During my last visit to Europe ! met a distin-
guished man who expressed the deepest interest
in our country.
Why do you not visit us, them" I asked him,
"if you have 80 kindly a feeling for America and
Americans?"
Because" he replied, simply, my wife could
not stand the voyage, and l would not, for any
personal or selfish reason, be responsible for one

aghast at the tale Of marital infelicity. Whereas
