So They Say, in All the Fifty Years
Of Their Married Life.
Fifty years of happy married life
together is the exception and not the
rule nowadays, so that the case OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Timothy NIaloney of
Chicago is attracting wide attention
III the daily press. Mr. and Mrs. Ma
loney We're married in London, Eng
land, fifty years ago. Both were
young Irish emigrants, with no assets
save love, health and ambition to get
OIL.
In 1869 they came to America to
better their finances settling in Chi
cago. They lived and loved and rails
ed the babies-there We're eleven in
all, six Of whom are alive tnday-and
managed to put 4 little lv each day.
After the fire Mr.. Maloncy became a
sewer contractor. He managed to
save q good portion of his earnings,
due to his wife's knowledge Of house,
keeping, and today Mr.. and Mrs. Ma
lcncy are living in a comfortable red
brick home of two stories. They are
both gray now, and time has left
wrinkles, but happiness fas stayed
with them during all the years, and
they have never quarreled.
When interviewed at their home the
that they had established a record in
long distance happiness. Each thought
the other was responsible for the
n:any happy years they hal spent to-
Eether, but they both agreed that
there would be hundreds IF happier
married couples and many sewer sep
arations AID divorces if young people
would only follow the simple old
fashioned rules for happiness.
Here are some Of the rules that Mr.
and Mrs. Maloney agreed upon. If
these are followed carefully they
guarantee that a happy marriage will
be the result:
Marry while You are young. If
You wait until You can afford it, to be
married you'll always STAY single.
Two can't live as cheaply as one. but
/. two married can live a lot cheaper
tnail two single people can.
Ten dollars u week is pier ty to get
married on. if the couple are the right
scrt and love each other, even con-
sidering the high price Of living. If
couple aren't really in love, $1,000
! them happy.
Don't try to put on style That
| has spoiled too many lives already.
Kent the smallest, cheapes. fiat You
can find and play u game of how
cheaply You can learn to live You'll
| be surprised at the number Of things
you can easily 60 without.
Share everything, joys and SORROWS
alike. Don't keep things from each
other. Every confldepcc brings you
nearer together and keeps you from
having Misunderstanding
| when one OF You feels blue or IT.
l1tablc it is up to the other to be a
little patient and to keep out Of the
way uatil the storm blows over. A
word said at the wrong tim= is worse
than Il hundred words said later. II
4 couple would learn to n,1mor each
other and bear with each rtker there
! wouldn't be any quarrels. No one is
perfect.
| Don't spend too much money on
| the theater or OH sightseeing. When
you can afford these, in years ia
come, it may be all right, but if you
cultivate a taste for expensive pleas
ures you'll have hard time doing
without them.
Save a little every day, i: it's only
Il nickel. The sensation Of having a
savings account will do a lot toward
making You feel ambitious and inde-
pendent. Have joint savings &C
count in a good bank. 1t will bring
! you closer together and give you both
q sense Of responsibility
Have children. They may cost
more now than they did wears ago
hut they are worth it. They will keer
the young wife from being lonesome
and unhappy ana from staying down
town too much ana envying Other
4 people with more money. They will
bring other interests to you and keer
You from getting tired of each other
Fables will be q big comfort to YOU
when they are grown up, too. Their
! you will appreciate sheir companion.
