the marriage remaining perms-
nent.
Indeed a marriage that isn't a
marriage and that can't, after hon
est trial, be remade into the real
thing, ought not to be permanent.
Perhaps that sounds extreme. Per-
haps some Of my correspondents
won't agree with me. But let me
explain what l mean.
That close mutual relation of
marriage, the most wonderful re-
lationship possible, must be based
on love, as all lovers know. But
love alone is not enough, a fact of
which, perhaps, all young lovers
are not so sure. If a marriage is
to be real, the two partners must
be able to trust and respect each
other and there must be absolute
truth between them.
No sort of permanent arrange
ment can be built on a moral quick
sand-much less the ideal affair
young lovers long for. And this is
a matter that the young wife who
has written to me seems to under
stand and that her husband unfor-
tunately fails to.
Certainly many marriages have
been ruined by deceit. And
though men have sometimes been
the victims, believe that women
have suffered more often, and
largely for the following reason.
A great many men have been al
lowed to grow up with a very
The Washington times., 1919-09-09

false point Of view in regard to
women. Perhaps at the bottom Of
it all there is a very old and un-
pleasant notion, never put into
words nowadays, that women
don't really matter. That it isn't
necessary, or even wise, to tell
the whole truth, always to q
woman.
Man May Accept a WOman's Love.
A man may marry and accept
the beautiful gift of a woman's
entire self, the gift of her life, her
energy, her love-with no idea in
the world of giving her a full
equivalent. Such a man as this
may honestly believe that his own
life is still his secret affair, and
that if an innocent wife asks him
innocent questions-tOo many of
them at least-she really can ex-
pect nothing better than to be lied
to. Do men ever think in just this
fashion? Never having been a
man, cannot be sure, but a great
many of them act as if they did.
If they do, howeve~, they must
unlearn this very serious mistake.
The girls of today have grown out
of the defenseless ignorance that
possibly once invited deceit. They
are more self-reliant and better in
formed than were the girls of a
generation ago. They know truth
telling to be a virtue from which
neither sex is exempt. And they
know if marriage is to be a sue
cess husbands and wives must have
the same code.
And it is surely a hopeful sign
for the marriages of the future
that so many girls and boys of the
present day are coming to see
things in this light.
There is of course, another side
Of this question. If you have the
highest view of marriage and de-
mand perfect honesty from your
self and the man you marry, you
can't conscientiously continue to
stand for a marriage that, after
all our efforts, turns out to be a
sham. A woman shouldn't feel
there is any virtue in sacrificing
her whole life to a man who re-
fuses to act squarely with her.
There is a point where patience,
faithfulness and the rest of it
leave OF and slavery begins. And
a woman who finds herself in a
situation Of this sort is fortunate
if she is young, strong and
equipped for self-support. And as
the young wife writing to me
says, she may have lots to live
for yet" -......-....,..
The Washington times., 1919-09-09

TOW much deception should q
wife tolerate on the part
Of her husband? Many
women write and ask me this
question A letter that has just
come stands out from the rest in
particularly clear-cut form. A
young woman of twenty-six tells
me she is heart-broken because
she n place no dependence In
anything her husband says.
She repeatedly told him that
she wants to know the truth mo
matter how bad it is" But that
he breaks promises as often as he
makes them. Having had expert
ence in supporting herself, she
asks whether she shall continue
her efforts to reform him or again
take up her work and abandon
him to his lies" AS they have no
children the road to freedom
seems fairly clear to her.
The only difficulty in answer
ing this question is that even II
the writer were my own sister and
/ had the story from her own lips,
it wouldn't be entirely fair to pass
Judgment until l had heard the
other side of the case. From this
most Understanding letter /
must admit that the husband
seems wholly to blame. But how
can one be sure that there isn't a
wee bit of excuse for him?
Lies Are Never To Be COndoned.
Not that lies are ever to be
condoned. But haven't we all
known cases where mans lapse
into this fault could be readily
understood?
Cases l mean where a wife hadn't
learned that the right kind of love
implies trustfuIness, consideration,
and courtesy, and that in fact mar
rage is a failure when these
Ualities are lacking.
A wife who loves her husband in
a way that leads her to be sus-
picious, jealous, and forever on the
lockout for him to commit him
self to something or other damag-
ing, cannot always expect absolute
candor. Perhaps she will cross
question him like a prosecuting at
torney, have sulks, make scenes,
in which case, she shouldn't be sur
prised if her harassed partner gives
her an evasive answer just so the
home will be a pleasanter place in
which to live.

cure a peaceful evening at home,
is not hero, but it is very easy to
understand and sympathize a little
with his weakness.
At least it must be admitted
that his wife is to be blamed as
well as he.
So before a woman allows her
self to become absolutely miserable
with her husband or her marriage,
she ought to review her own be-
havior with a good deal Of care. !
don't mean that she ought to re-
fer the matter to an idolizing
mother or some woman friend who
is pretty sure to confirm her own
belief in her martyrdom.
No one else can tell her what
she ought to know herself. Has
she been fair and reasonable and
kind and has she given the man
every chance to be open and
square" with her? If she hasn't,
l think she should give her hus-
band who, after all may love her
very much, another chance. If she
has done all this, and still has
failed-well, in that case there is
no more to be said.
When the Fault Is Really On One
Side.
For when the fault really is all
on one side and when the husband
or the wife, as it might be, in
some cases-is as deaf to reason
able appeals as the husband de-
scribed in the letter l have quoted,
