Successful Marriage.

Happiness is always the woman's
pot Of gold at the end Of the rain
bow. In her quest for it, she ia stimu-
lated through childhood and girlhood.
Constantly before her lies the vision
Of the bliss tabled to abide In the
married state. Poets rhyme OF It;
musicians put the creed into melody
to suit the poets words; novelista
make their living by exploiting It.
When we consider the perttnacity
of this requirement In the face Of the
few even comparatively happy mar
riages and the myriads that are either
negatively or positively unsatisfactory
VIC may feel with complete justiica'
ton that here lie one Of the most
astounding Illustrations In the world
Of the triumph of faith oven expert.
