Hut the true recipe seems to be con-

In that simple policy OF nonInterfer-

not on.y of happy marriage, but OF
harmonious human relations In the
broader sense. If the married adhered
to this rule. there would be little saar-

gave TO each other served to unite
them more closely and to avert tho

ance was simply that they would spin
