breed trouble Surely there is a big
ger way to look at marriage than this.
And isn't it time that We are getting
some broader ideas about It?
A girl should not marry man she
cannot trust. If she does, she is only
making trouble for herself. She
should not blink it. If she has to ad
NIT to herself, that in this, that, and
the other respect, he is unworthy, that
she wouldn't like to think of his going

would be likely to form bad habits
then she certainly had better not
marry him. 1t is time for women to

IN cUPlD'S REALM.


A correspondent writest that she
doesn't think husband ought to go
out in the evening without his wife.
If he does, she believes he will fall
into bad habits.
This is problem around which
much controversy RACES. How is it
ever going to be settled?
Taking marriage as it is today, per-
haps there can be no hard and fast
rules. If a wife knows her husband
has certain weaknesses, and that by
keeping him with her, she is shield
ing him from yielding to these weak
nesses, then it may be expedient for
her to do it She is not making him
strong by this course. One never
grows strong by not using his muscles,
whether they be physical or mental
ones. The only way to become
stronger than evil is to meet it and
conquer it. But many brave little
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1911-05-19

take a firm stand in these matters.
If they take marriage seriously, and
it should be taken seriously, this Is
entirely too grave a question to over
look Either she can or she cannot
trust him completely. And if there Is
the slightest doubt in her mind that
he is not trustworthy, she is simply
storing up unhappiness for herself by
marrying him.
Looking ahead to the marriage OF
the future, such matters as these be-
tween husband and wife will surely
be placed upon a brighter basis than
they are at present. The man will
come and go, and the wife will come
and go, both in utmost freedom
and utmost confidence. Where their
interests for the evening are mutual,
they will go together; where they are
separate, they will go apart. But
there will be no contemplate sus-
picion or misinterpretation of the 9th
ers' conduct. And because of this
freedom and this confidence, there
will really be greater and finer and
truer love. The love that has for its
companion mistrust, is a a poor and
sickly specimen. Love cannot thrive
in the miasma thrown off by doubt
and suspicion.
