YOUNG girl asked my advice the
other day about whether she
should marry a certain man who


4 - should marry certain man who
had asked her to be his wife
DO you love him ] inquired
No" she replied. but he is a good
man He is comfortably rich. and my
mother wants me 10 marry him"
Well, then. let mother marry him"
said / Don't sou do it. for If YOU

a saint and a millionaire combined"
4 womans affections are the medium
through which she looks on life. II she
does not love him her husbnd cannot
please her. though ne were a model Of
all the virtues.
If. on the other hand. she loves the
man who shares it with her. she can be
perfectly content in two by four flat.
She can prefer doing her own cooking TO
going TO balls. and be blind as A bat at
y eaknesses at which all the world
jeers.
For this reason no woman should
ever marry unless she is wildly. franti-
cally. madly in love. man may marry
a woman for whom he has only a mild
and lukewarm regard and get along in
reasonable comfort. because after mar
risge love is only side issue with him,
anyway
The MaecuIine Code.
Besides. the masculine code teaches
4 man not 10 WEIGH. and when he makes
a bad bargain to stick TO it, so the in
different husband is not infrequently a
fairly cOmfortabl one TO live with.
But women are VIGOROUSLY poor
losers. and, no matter how deliberately
they make it. when they find out tina
the marriage Of convenience. or the
rage for money In failure, they
have no shame in sQueling, as our
sporting friends say. and thus 1t hap
pens that the unloving wife is inyariab-
" a complaining and disasreeahle one.
Now. no woman can live with nus
band she does not love and be happy.
and not one woman III a thousand has
the strength of character TO do her duty
as a wife unless she is happy, or treat
a man right not because she wants to
but because she ought to.
OF course. the girl who marries "A man

that her liking viii warm up into hectic
