HAPPY MARRIAGE RECIPE
Nonlnterferenee Policy Would Remove
Many Causes Of Discomfort
Among the Welded.

The experience OF a married couple
who have lived together for 10 years
without quarrel possesses practical
value which outweighs any amount Of
theorizing. and the reasons for tho
happy union given by Mr.. and Mrs.
Levi Sherwood, who enjoy this distinc-
ton. have q wide interest I'VE just
loved each other and that was all
there was to H.. said Mrs. Sherwood.
But thp true recipe seems 10 be con-
tained in the husbands remark that
he minded his own business. while
she tended to her own affairs"
In that simple policy of nonIntcrfer-
ence Ia comprised all the philosophy
not only Of happy marriage, but OF
harmonious human relations In the
broader sense II the married adhered
20 this rule. there would be little mar
ital dlscorc. less divorce. and fewer
cases OF domestic disagreement In the
police courts The very latitude Of &C
ton which this enlightened couple

them more closely and TO avert the
conflict OF interests which causes ship

q dictator or boss.
