ONLY ONE LASTING CONTRACT
NuptIal Agreement Must be Written
IN Hearts and Temperament o.
Contracting Couple.

A Western couple. each OF whom had
been married twice before and twice
divorced. have sought to Insure the
success Of thr'r third venture by
detailed written contract II II surely
one OF the most extraordinary pre-
nuptial agreements ever made. Re
membering the rocks upon which
their various matrimonial ships have
been wrecked before. they have care
fully charted them and mapped out
the course around them. The CON
tract specifically sets forth which one
shall build the fires. when the hus-
band may bring guests home 10 meals,
when the relatives Of ench shall visit
them. and how the spending of money
Ia 10 be divided. how often the wife
may attend clubs and social fune-
fions.
Thus they have arranged, thoy
think. for every possible contingency
that may arise In the welded life Of
two persons.
Maybe they will find II 10. But II
tnkes no pesslmistlc spirit to suspect
that such contract contains either
too much or too little.
The possible trouble Of married
couple may be provided against by
contract. nut II must be contract
not OF paper and writing. but Of the
heart and the Temperament
II the hearts be right, all tho possl-
BILE troubles OF the pair may be
summed up In a few words. But II
these be not right, no possible combinn-
ton Of an the words In the dictlon-
ary can even indicate the possible
troubles.
The marriage contract that means
the most need say the least. ITO
love and cherish one anothcr"-here
IN contract that covers more ground
than can definitely he expressed In
all the words In the language.
IF that will not hold good under all
contingencies, no other contract will.

RIGHT SYSTEM OF HIGHWAYS
