What the Marriage Service Moan,

Frequently | have been asked about
the wording of the marriage service
the same old questions that come so reg
ularly to preachers and parents and edi-
tors. No wording can possibly cover or
cxaggcratc OF affect the sacredness of
this contract
No marriage service I have seen
and | have read most of them-ex-
presses all that is involved in the cere-
mony.
For instance, this might be added
from one OF our master writers: Two
persons who have chosen each other
out of all the species, with design to
be each others mutual comfort and en-
tcrtainment, have in that action bound
themselves TO be good-humored, afable,
discreet. forgiving, patient and joyful.
with respect to each others frailties and
perfections, to the end of their natural
lives"
Givo and Take
There never was a time when the
give-and-take rule was so necessary in
the home.
Our modern civilization invents new
worry each day: feelings and conditions
are swift and quick it is all too easy to
get out of joint and inflict your nervous
ness on your partner. But don't do 1t
A little thought. little patience, little
consideration-they don't cost anything
and they bring what millions cannot

mindcdness, the death blow to friendship
With such one can be only lenient and
charitable and slow to take offense, re-
mcmbering that the acquaintance may
not be aware of her conduct. She may
be self-centcrcd and selfish, but, If she
is valued as a friend, she may be asked
why her manner is so variable. and this
may bring her to a sense OF her pecul-
arities. But If she is not really friend,
it would be impossible to make any in
quiry about her manner.
Bow But Once
When passing acquaintance several
times, it is only necessary to bow at the
first meeting, and it is not correct to
mention the name OF the person to
whom ono bows.
Respect for Age
a bow to an older or a superior per-
son should be respectful, If bowing to
persons one knows slightly. the bow is
Slight if bowling to those one knows
well, the bow IS more cordial.
An important rule is that man must
wait 10 be recognized by lady before
he bows. but between friends the act
OF bowling is almost simultaneous.

places it quickly He docs not hold it

and not mention tomato soup, which IS
general favorite and very easily made
1t may be said right here that all these
soups are simple, but three things be-

they should be served hot

This soup. like all those made without

watched TO sec that it does not boil
