But there is something to be done
by the individuals themselves. This
Is consideration over a sufficient
period that would give an assurance

under given circumstances.
Many a person has said, "You never
know person until you are married
TO him." This Is quite true. But too
many marriages are made on such
snort knowledge OF each other as to
make the hazard doubly dangerous.

band or wife. This should be the
case, but II isn't-as a general thing.
For the sweetheart days are filled
with hope and JOY and love ami
sentiment. These later give wa,
somewhat TO comradeship; and this
companionship can only continue
>happily when there are common
pleasures, common interests.
While each must be Wiling for the
other to retain some little persona
