BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX


Why do so many marriages go on
the rocks?" said my friend the Doc
tor. And then he answered his own
question very wisely. Because they
are not based on anything more last
ing than-love; and love is generally
beautiful dream"
Everybody knows that a sunset is
beautfful-but nobody expects it to
last forever. We all gasp at the eXquis-
ite beauty of a rainbow-but we know
IL VIII 1ade. So as l listened to the
Doctor I thought of the transitory ma
ture OF most beauty and adjusted my
self to his viewpoint.
Love is for most people a cobweb
illusion. 1t is a desperate attraction
formed of a desire for kisses and ca
resSes and thrills. But no substantial
dinner ever was made of dessert alone.
And no real love consists of an emo
tional froth. Marriages go to smash
all about us and all the time. and
when they do everybody exclaims, But
that started out as a love match?'
We'll, of course it did" went on
the Doctor, smiling tolerantly. But
1t didn't start as anything else. A
marriage that lasts has to be based
on congeniality. And that's the only
kind of marriage that ever will last"
! remember a line I had read some
where which went like this: Il some
times think true friendship consists
more in liking the same things than in
liking each other"
Well, true love has to consist in
liking each other and respecting
each other, too.
1t must build on basis of enjoying
many things in common and accepting
and tolerating the points of difference.
husband and wife may have the
Jolliest time in the world playing golf
together of Saturday and yet differ
entirely in their tastes in music.
If she likes grand opera and he
prefers burlesque shows, and they
are sane enough to smile at each
other and permit each other to crafty
their widely divergent tastes, they can
get tremendous lot of fun out of their
mutual liberation and appreciation of
their points of difference.
Good chums and comrades have a
wonderful time in sharing certain
amusements and in listening to an
account of those they cannot share or
in just smiling serenely and accept
ing the fact that a wise providence
has varied the human species infinite
ly
No one has a right to demand
that everybody else conform to his
own standards Emotion might be
eXtravagant enough to do that. Sane
love based on a friendly understand
ing and a quiet mutually of respect
won't do that
Yielding to a physical attraction
