Is Marriage a

In response to the appear OF DOL
\ lie" who is engaged to man she

this.
For seven years ! have been mar
ried TO man do. not love. At
first it was uncomfortable. l thought
| could not go on with 1t. and yet
; 1t was preferable to the life | had
been leading at home, (which was

His kisses, which felt IL my duty

duty totsee it through.
At the end of the year there was

not love its father a bit more. Sc
cretly, l. raved and rallied at fate.
To think that he should be the
father OF my babyi
But as time went on ! began TO
look at The situation differently.
Ny husbIsnd is the personificatiqn
Of goodness. the spul OF generosity.
He adores his children and worships
me. There is not day that goes
by that he does not tell me so.
And while | DO not love him the
way l think l am capable of loving
my ideai--perhaps--i do feel a
great affection for him, and have
come to depend a great deal upon
him. To me he is just like big
true friend and | am very happy
with him, There has never been
another man in my life.' | love no
one else, and my dailN prayer lis
that / may never meet anyone with
whom / may possibly fall in love.
because Jthen in all probability, I'd
be miserable
/ bardly know wnat TO say to
"DoIiie" ! don't like to advise any
girl to marry man SHE doesn't
love-. And yet 7 think that her
chances tfor happiness are just as
great. If not greater, than the girl
who marries for love- The girl who
marries for love lives in a constant
state of terror or fear her hus-
bands love viii some day grow
cold. and it eventually Aoes. It's in
evitable.
AS far as nay observation goes,
love is a very fragile thing, and II
doesn't tape mucheto kin it. The
husband who is sure Of his wife's
love is apt to get careless, whereas
the man who Is not so sure Of his
wife's affection FOR him is more apt
TO nuke n very special effort to
make himself interesting, and
thereby win her love. This. of
course, Keeps him busy. and inci-
dentaily out of mischief.
However. it's up TO "DoIlie"
whether she win be happy. or not.
She must make UP her mind to do
her best, and she can only do this
by pbliterating forever from her
memory her dead lovers picture.
\ 1t will only be- fair To her husz

can find true peace and happiness.

Advice to

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX;
We. two girls of seventeen,
would like very much to have
your advice on this matter. &
There are two young men in
whom we are greatly interested,
and although we have been intro
dueed 70 them they act as though
they would like to go out with us
yet won't ask us. / can't make
cut If they are bashful or what is
the> matter.
We are not forward ourselves
and therefore. really do not offer
much encouragement to them, all
though we like them very much.
How can we get them to ask
us? LOVE BIRDS"
You two girls might invite the
young men TO one of your homes
70 spend pleasant evening some
time, together with other boy and
girl friends If you so desire This
would be good way to become
better acquainted. However.
trust you like the young men for
their own worthy selves and not
for the pleasures their pocket
books might buy. Spending Of
money does pot bring true plea
sure. Why IVORY about them
taking you out?
