wedding somebody with a melting tenor
voice sings Blessed Be the Tie That
Binds" and we look at the radiant
bride and bridegroom, and swallow
hard at the Jumps in our threats, and
hope to goodness that the knot will
hold this time, and 1t won't be one of
the one out of twelve snarls, that the
divorce courts are called upon to I'M
tangle every year in this country.
And it sends us home wondering
what is this tie that binds a man and
a woman together so that they are real
ly one. ...a.
Men think that IT is made of beauty.
A man believes, that he will love a
woman, and be faithful to her in
thought and decd, as long as che is
by a pretty face and a lissome figure,
and he Is convinced that he will never
weary OF them. He feels that life can
offer him no more enduring joy than
Just the contemplation of that peaches
and cream complexion, those golden
curls and that straight front figure:
Very often he married the object OF
his admiration only to find that the
tic that binds him to 1t is made of
pack thread. lie comes to know that
n man cannot live upon scenery alone,
and the dullest and most boring Of
companions, and that the whitest and
seftest skin may cover the blacklist
selfishness, and the hardest heart
No woman who has merely physical
prettiness to recommend her ever holds
man even untik her good looks van

bound to happen in short time, at
best. As we'll might you seek to an
Choir an ocean liner in a storm with
gay silken thread as TO try to bind
a man to A woman with just beauty
alone.
Women think that the tie that binds
is made OF romantic love. They put
their faith in palpitations and thrills.
II a girl sees a man through a pink
haze Of sentiment that DISCUSSES him
so effectually that he looks like a lit
tie tin god to her: II she has chills
and fevers and hectic flushes at his
approach. II she wonders where mother

suspicious that he has taken another
girl to the movies, she is convinced,
beyond the shadow Of a doubt, that
she entertains a passion for him that
nothing can dim, and that the years
will only make stronger.
Alas, no other dangerous malady is
so easily cured as romantic love. It
