MARRIAGES
Living Happily EUer After
By
ELLEN ADAIR

In spite OF the pesslnism of the cynics
and the skeptlcal smiles of modern read
ers, there is something enchanting about
the old-time romances with the cheerful
Termination. land they lived happy ever
after" For all the ancient fairy tales
end that way. And the pity OF It is that
80 many people do firmly regard that
particular ending as nothing more nor
less than fairy talel
In these days OF everlasting problem
novels, and the perpetual stirring up Of
certain muddy waters which can do no
good but can only achieve a great deal OF
harm. It is deiightfully refreshing to turn
to the old books in which the souls uf our
Rrandmothers reveled lin their early days,
please be II understood-they like some-
thing much more convincing nowadays),
and which always possessed the same
orthodox conclusion II they didn't hap
pen to possess the cheerful ending and
the grass was growing green over the
grave of the hero or heroine, and tho
wind and tho rain and the reader were
all signing and sobbing together, then
our grandmothers enjoyed the story all
the same. For 1t had a touch of the Real
Romance-than which there is nothing
further to be desired in a love tale.
But to return to the matrimonial end
inss. The altar nowadays proves merely
the beginning instead OF tho ending Of
tho tale. And all modern stories deal
with the course OF true love after It has
swept through the very gates of hymen
right on to the divorce. or the final rs
eoncillation or the legal separation or
whatever It may happen to boz
The question as to the expediency OF
late marriages is engrosslng at tho pres
cnt time. For opinion differs so widely
that no special criterion can be set up.
The passing of the years frequently
leaves people younger and sprlghtlier
than they ever were before, and some
times there is a regeneration after tho
half-century limit which leads to matri-
mony and happiness.
One of the happiest marriages within
my knowledge Is that of a music teacher
who, at the samewhat mature age of 81,
entered the bonds of matrimony with
an old fame who was two years her
senior. They have now been married
for three years and are just as happy
