The Washington times., 1918-10-22

CCTHERE'S nothing sure
about the army" q
young lieutenant fresh
from an interview with his colonel
observed to me ruefully not long
ago, except that whatever you do
you are sure to be wrong"
am reminded Of that boys
poignant confession whenever I
am asked 10 pass judgment upon
some phase Of that most uncertain
Of human problems-the marriage
question. Whatever advice one
has to offer on the subject is more
likely to be mistaken, especially il
it happens to touch on the matter
Of a choice.
The matches which seem to rs
ordained of heaven are often the
very ones to blow up in . few
years, or even months, in q reek
of birthstone and sulphur. Those
over which We shake our heads
and sigh In dark foreboding are
like as not to turn out idyis Of do
nestle beautitude.
The people who appear TO rs
most suitable for each other are
seldom 50 regarded by themselves,
and il eoerced or cajoled into mat
rimony generally succeed in max
ing each other thoroughly miSer-
able.
Personal Question.
Indeed, marriage is 50 distinctly
a personal question for the two
people most concerned, based upon
such subtly individual shadings Of
attraction and congeniality, that !
doubt IL any outsider-even the
closest and most disinterested-is
privileged to interfere.
For instance, ! have q letter
from q girl in Chicago who says
that for the past three years she
has been in love with a young man

At least that was the girls un-

the belief that at last the course

why talk Of being "hounded" and
insulted over the telephone by a
man who appears, from your own
account Of him, to be an ill-bred

He Did Not CoFResposL
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
have known a young man for
. good many years who has recent
~ become q soldier. When he was
home on leave q short time ago
he seemed very attentive TO me,
but since he has gone back to
camp he Is Indifferent. He does
not seem to care enough to cor
respond, though my friends hear
from him frequently. What can I
do, as I value his friendship very
much? HELENE.
II the young soldier is not suf-
ficiently interested to write to you,
there seems to be really nothing
TO do about the matter. II you
think his trouble is shyness you
might send him a picture postal
with . few words and await re-
suits.
