ships the letters run: We knew each
other only six months or four months, or
two months. Some admit an acquaintance
of only three weeks, of two weeks couple
of days, while in one case the marriage was
based upon three meetings.
How could shipwreck be avoided in ro-
mances such as these?
In one case the wife complains that she
did not know how much money her husband
was earning and had no idea whether he
had any money saved up or not. Again, the
wife did not know how long her husband

Ignorance of RESPONSIBILITIES.


The lack of training in the ways Of pro-
viding and maintaining the home, with con-
sequent ignorance of husband and wife in
regard to the duties and responsibilities of
marriage, causes thousands of unhappy mar
riages and broken homes.
1t is ignorance of her duties that prompts
the bride to say I'm not going to let John
have his own way in everything and then
proceeds to serve him chafing dish break

Don't you think you could arrange to be
home with your wife more often in the even
ing? 1t seems hardly fair that young wife
should be deprived of her husbands compan-
ionship evening after evening. 1t means such
n lonely life for the girl. OF course, if it is
impossible you should try and make up in
other ways so that your wife will not feel
that she is being neglected and look in an
other direction for companionship.

the judge would send a convicted bur.

than ten. 1t would be sauareiy up to
the convict to make good, SO that he
might secure release on parole at
the end of the four years or as soon
thereafter as he could show himself
worthy OF it.
Wrong doing gets the perpetrator
into prison; right doing ought to be
his only means Of getting out. The
habit of doing wrong must be repiac-
ed by the habit Of doing right. When
this transformation takes place, turn
the convict loose. 1t is dangerous to
turn him loose sooner.

Building roads is hard work. The

making a rapid search for yaluables
