IF Only the Sweet
Moments Gould Last"

There were times, in Ruth and Brian's
married life, when they seemed perfect
ly compatible when their companion
ship was complete
Then the storm clouds would come,
again, and the period of happiness would
be over; once more they would find
themselves quareling over trifles and
jarring on each others nerves.
AT these tempestuous periods, Ruth
would wonder if they had not made a
mistake in marrying each other Brian,
too, had these misgivings in regard to the
suitability of their marriage
But wait, Does not the fact that there
were sunny periods at all, leave just the
possibility that there might be sunshine
all the tiase, under the right conditions?
OF course it does. And do the mght con-
ditions ever come?
