THE TRANSITION
1t was o'clock in the afternoon OF
a fine. but chilly March day wher
Philip regained Holborn with fifty
pounds making a lump in his pocket
and Isaacstein's letter safely lodged
in his coat. The mere weight of the
gold suggested an unpleasant pos
sibility. His clothes were so worr
that the frail calico might give way
and every golden coin rattle forth tc
the pavement.
So with one of Mr.. Abingdon's shill-
ings he made his first purchase, a
capacious tobacco pouch with a snaI
mouth, for which he paid ninepence
Then he adjourned to an aerated
bread shop and ordered some refresh
ments. While the waitress was bring
ing his cup Of tea and piece of cake
he contrived to slip all the sovereigns
but one into the tobacco pouch.
He did this with his hand in the
pocket itself, and more than once
there was a pleasant clink as the
Coins fell into their novel receptacle
A man sitting near caught the sound
and looked up suspiciously. Philip
whose senses were very much on the
alert today, realized that his action
was somewhat careless. Without even
jglancing at his neighbor he took out
his remaining couple of shillings and
the three pennies and affected to count
them with a certain degree OF aston
ishment, as IL some were missing. The
ruse was satisfactory. The man gave
him no further heed and soon quilted

THE fifth deadly mistake of mat
rimony is:
FOR HUSBANDS AND WIVES
NOT TO BE COMPANIONABLE.
Outside Of the countries in which
women are shut up in harems. there
/ is no place where husbands and wives
have so little in common as in
America
And America leads the world in di-
vorces.
| In this country it is hardly too
much to say that the separation of
! husband and wife begins on their
wedding day. He goes one way. She

| housekeeping. or society. or her clubs.
| He entertains his friends, as a gen.
eral thing. downtown. and she doesn't
! even know the names of his mascu-
line cronies She gives hen parties to
women that he does not know by
sight Each has a life distinct and
separate from the other.
You will see the Englishman and
his wife playing golf together. or
riding the hounds together. or tramp
/ ing together in long walks over the
! country. You will see the thrifty
French bourgeois and his wife keep
ing the store together during the
week, and then off together on Sun
day on some little excursion, or to
make a little feast. You will see the
German and his wife spending their
evenings together. happily and plac-
| idly, in some German beer garden, but
| the American husband and wife
nearly always take their pleasure
| singly
1t is a distinctively American joke
in which, when a man says that he is
Are you going to take your Wife
along with you?"
why. no." exclaims the man in sur
prise. ''of course not. Didn't 1 tell you
/ was going on pleasure trip?''
One of the main reasons why mar
riage is failure is because both hus-
| band and wife are bored stiff The
| atmosphere of the average home is as
heavy as lead, and the conversational
range better fitted for the inmates of
a feeble minded institution than for
| intelligent and cultivated men and
| women.
THEY YAWN
1t is literally true that unless a
couple have children they have MOTH
| ing whatever to talk about, no sub
| ject in which they are mutually inter-
| ested, and so they sit up and yawn in
each others faces, and take to quar-
reling as a kind of life saving station
to prevent them from sperishing of
/ ennui
This seems an exaggeration. but
| Just note the domestic conversation
at any breakfast table you know. Isn't
it about Johnnie's new shoes, or
Mary's going to school? Then about
the cat? Then about the servant?
Then a request for money! And when
/ there are no children the repertoire
is cut down by one topic. Thrillingly
interesting. madly exciting, isn't it?
i Yet. what else have the husband
and wife to say to each other? What
else have they got in common except
the children, and the pug dog. and the
cook, and the household expenses?
Nothing. The husbands work neces-
sarily takes him into an environment

! of which his wife can know nothing,
and when he isn't at work he goes off
with other men to enjoy himself for
1t Is not the custom for American men
and women to play together.
To give us due credit, we have
blundered into this state of affairs
through blindly following the line of
/ least resistance. Men have taken
their resistance. Men have taken their
pleasures in the way they liked best.
So have women. and it must be con-
fessed the ideal of good time differs
In the sexes. There are a very few
American women who really enjoy
athletic sports, while the average
American married man only attains
through fasting and prayer. to the
pinnacle where he can endure teas
and receptions with an expression
that indicates joy.
THEY MUST LEARN
Nevertheless. If a husband and wife
mean to make a success OF their life
together they must learn to play to-
gether, for there are no ties stronger
than those that bind us to the COM
rades of our happy hours, no society
| so dear as that which we can fill in
with succession of do you remem-
! bers?'
That this is true needs no better
proof than the fact that we never
question the domestic felicity of that
holidaying together. When we observe
the Smiths packing their camp kit for
a run down to Florida for tarpon fish,
ing, or meet the Joneses at suffrage
meeting. we know that all is well in
these two households.
| But when we hear that Mrs Smith
has had 40 new dresses made for Palm
Beach and that Mr.. Smith has gone to
Montreal for the tobogganing, or we
meet Mrs. Jones at hen club and
Mr.. Jones at a poker club. we aren't
in the least surprised when we pick
up the paper some morning and read
that these couples. who didn't know
how to play together, anyway, have
decided to break away from each
other and try playing in somebody
else's back yard.
The moral of all this is that IL hus-
bands and wives would be happy,
though married, they must cultivate
an interest in each others pursuits.
They must have friends In common,
amusements in common, hobbies in
common. And especially they should
not be killjoys for each other. The
woman whose narrow prejudice and
bossiness forces her husband to give
stag parties at his club instead OF in
his home, or the man who never goes
out to a party with his wife without
looking like an early Christian mar
tyr and being so grumpy that he de-
stroys all Of her pleasure. have laid
the ak at the root of their family hap
piness
| For 1t is the beginning of the end
when either husband or wife finds
out that he, or she. can have better
| time when the other one is absent.
The only really married people are
those who never truly enjoy any
thing unless their playmate Is along.
! So, young man, and young woman,
starting out in matrimony, take this
| tip; Learn to be a sport and to play
our partners game. You may not like
| it at first, but. you can learn to like 1t
! II you will. There are plenty of
| things that are caviar to us, but you
can culss74ke . taste for them.
