~ marriage is a duel between hus-
band and wife for the position
of autocrat of the family. without per-
ceiving how it is done. the question is

the one that is considered, and deferred
TO: which one is going to have to learn
self-control. and to exercise all the
Christian virtues because the other one
won't.
Generally, in this battle royal for pos
session Of the throne. the woman loses
out, because most girls are so glad TO be
married. and so grateful to the men who
save them from being old maids, that
they assume a humble and adorlng attl-
tude toward their bridegrooms- They
are willing to agree TO anything, and do
any way, and, by the time they find out
the mistake they have made, It is too
late TO correct it.
Fortunately. I was not one Of these
foolish virgins On the contrary. I had
