HOW IS YOUR
DISPOSITION?
Ounce of Agreeability Worth
Ton of Abstract Virtues
in Matrimony
BY DOROTHY DIX

/
Mrs. Charles Ellinwood, a social
worker of Boston, thinks that a great
many unhappy marriages might be pre-
vented if the applicants for marriage
! license had to go before a commission
and answer certain heart-searching
questions satisfactorily. Among the
queries that she would PROFOUND to
both the prospective bride and bride
groom is this one:
WHAT SORT OF A DISPOSITION
HAVE YOU?
1t is beyond reason to expect any
body to have either the personal knowl-
| edge of his or her own character or the
candor to answer this question honest
ly. You couldn't expect man to stand
up in cold blood and admit that he was
selfish, and stingy, and mean, and
| tyrannical, or for woman to confess
that she had serpent's tongue and
was naggy, and bossy. and narrow
| minded because in the first place none
of us ever tell anything to our dis
ond place we never have the courage
to get acquainted with ourselves and
find out what we really are. The
stranger We dodge meeting face to face
from the cradle to the grave is our
real self.
1t isn't much comfort to a woman
her If he has got selfish temper that
causes him to blaze out at her and
say cruel things in the heat of anger.
1t is no consolation to the man, who
| mas to live with woman who nags
the very soul out of him, to be aware
that she would die for him if it were
| to die for us, but we have to live with
the kind of dispositions that we mar
| ried.
If were a man looking for a wife,
before ever IL led blushing maiden
! to the altar she would have had to
prove to me that she had a good lis
| position. L shouldn't bother about
| whether. she was plain or homely. or
| fat or thin, or whether she read 1bsen
or Marie Corelli, but 1 should concen-
trate, my attention on ascertaining
whether she was amiable or irritable
whether she was placid or nervous;
whether she was good first-class wor-
rier or one who took things as they
| came.
And I'd pick out my wife, not by
| her looks or her brilliancy. but ~ her
disposition. For beauty fades and wit
is double -bladed sword that cuts and
slashes in the family circle but a wom-
an who Is cheerful. loving, sweet
| tempered and good natured makes CT
her home heaven of peace and rest
IN which a man may drop safe anchor
:lnd if | were girl. I wouldn't look
az the width or a mans shoulders, nor
{,ne Lne color OF his eyes. nor ask whether
ms ms income bofn Eva was s2,0oO or $4,000 a year;
married him | would find out what sort
of a disposition he had. and whether
would have to go in terror of it the
balance of my life If I married him, or
whether l could snuggle down into its
warmth and tenderness and be happy
ever after.
It's not the big things that count
| in matrimony. It's the little things
ana an ounce of agreeability is worth
a ton of abstract virtues. That's why
men and women should inquire into
each others dispositions before they,
| make their fatal leap into wedlock.
