HAPPINESS IN MARRIAGE.
1t Presupposes an Attachment Based
on More Than Fleeing and
Transitory Motives.

The winter season is not as romantic
as. spring, but nevertheless, marriages
are plentiful. Naturally more sentl-
mental couples like TO marry amid
bowers of June roses, but to others
the matter OF possessing each otier is
of paramount moment, and the time
side issue. In view Of the fact that
winter is an open season for marriages,
a serious word to future husbands and
wives may be in place at this time.
More to be desired than all the
TRANSPORTS of courtship days, the joys
of, the honeymoon and the first test OF
life together is the real sense Of steady
comDanionship, which cndures when
the trOpic days are succeeded by every
days, with their mixture of sunshine,
cloudiness and dull, heavy storm.
In the close contact of daily life,
when ideals of perfection are shat
tered and dreams make way for real
tiles, comes the time CompaniOnship
counts every inch OF the way.
If those of us who travel LIES high
way in single blessedness ever feel
the first twinge of envy or are con-
scious of a sense of loss it is when we
see evidences of comradeship in mar
riage.
Possibly the notion is all wrong, but
one cannot imagine a great measure
of happiness for two people unless
their pleasures meet on the same level
unless there is an impulse to share
thoughts, when thoughts have once
drifted away from the mythica
ground Of love and romance. When
man and his wife remain comrades
as in the old courtship days, fine
something to talk about together, be
yond personalities and commonplace
occurrences and something to see to
gether in their walks and travels, the1
we know they are not just jogginE
along somehow, but are growing int
closer companionship as the years g
by.
Companionship Necessary.
And there is something very beau
tiful in marriage based upon congenia
companionship, far too beautiful to b
skipped for poor counterpart.
Perhaps there are no worse awaE
enings than that which comes with tn
knowledge that the depths cannot b
sounded because there are none
sound, and that all there is to the req
nature is right on the surface; Blu
there cannot be much to draw upon i
such a union, and the picture does nc
in the least appeal to the onlooker.
Possibly the world trusts too niue
to that great elusive force we ca
love, yields to it too lightly, withou
reckoning long enough upon the di'
similarity of tastes and pursuit!
Friends, to remain friends, must hav
something in common, else the hour
soon drag and the tie is weakened
We enjoy their companionship in lon
walks, delights in holidays togethe
and get the most out of a book whe
they have read it, too.
And so with marriage-isn't thu
why someone has said that any Low
which stands the test of years mui
he grounded in friendship? From tt
beginning of time the marriages tn:
have stood for ideal pictures of we
ded happiness have been those cor
bining the strength and force
friendship with the more tender j
stinct of love.
And SO we wish that all for who
the bells are ringing this winter ma
remain not only lovers to the end, b
