owH we always do something spec bies at Christmas time. The Lorimer Christmas tree is famous and this year the guest of honor was little Lorrie. Evan came to the party with Martha and the boy. Lorrie's part in that eventful evening is unimportant except as it explains his fathers presence in my house.
 Ann was among those present and dear Jimmy-boy. It was my hand some brother laws first venture from his invalid chair. We made a great deal of it, told him how well he was looking and in that we deceived each other as well as Jimmy.
 His child wife, Ann. took the mid dle of the stage at a bound, in her ac- customed way. Even the immense Christmas tree with it's glare of bright bulbs faded fsom our consciousness when Ann bounded into the room. Lit erally she bounded.
 Sc had not removed her rubber go- loshes but had unfastened them and had turned down the tops and they looked like the clumsy boots some times worn in the Russian pallets. Very clearly Ann initiated a famous dancers leap to the center of the stage, then she posed in the middle of the crowd. struck an attitude in which her awkward footgear was most conspicuous, and declaimed:
 "GoulashesI"
 Of course we went off into spasm of merriment.
 'Goulashes' it is. Sure thing. That is the popular pronunciation of the Yankee name! And this is the gou- lash dance!"

Sweeping Back the Ocean With .

BY JEAN NEWTON

Sweeping Back the Ocean With .
 Broom
 Ia the churches. in the newspapers, in the magazines. they are still and again discussing marriage; husbands, w4ves-what is good husband, what iS a good wife, what makes a happy marriage. what is the ideal marriage. And in New York they are writing it 70 a newspaper that prints their let ters.
 And they all say something different if they were all right, these hundreds of letters. in the things they say we mast do to be happy though married, it would look like a big job indeed almost an impossible job.
 And as ! read advice such as Let him have his night off" Don't take ail his money" Be interested in your husbands business;" take your wives into your confidence" "Compliment her on her beauty and praise her cook ing." it reminded mo of the old story of the woman who tried to sweep back tho ocean with a broom.
 True, there are many such petty things that sometimes cause trouble between a married couple But even fl we could adjust every one of them. tc he thousand and first. this alone would not mean a truly happy, an idea marriage. For the ideal marriage i: not made up of rules and regulations; is not hedged about by restrictions Tho ideal marriage means fulfillment not limitation.
 Centuries ago Plato taught that mer and women were halves hemispheres SD Co speak. of an original sphere. | Inc true halves met. the result was ar deal marriage, and unhappy mar. riagcs. mismating. were simply the re. suit of the wrong halves getting to, -ether. For every woman he said here was the one man, and for every han the one woman.
 Whether or not this is true, there ar, -crtainly right halves and wrong halve for all of us. IT the right halves ge together they will not need sordid. pet tv rules and regulations. Some con sessions. some sacrifices they win hav 70 make, to be sure: some disagree mcnts they win have. But if they arr fhc right halves. this win be nothin,

more than the ripples that pass over the sea, leaving it more serene, more beautiful after.
 If the wrong halves get together. all the thousand and one tips" of all the wiseacreS on earth can't make a har- monious, happy. ideal whole.
 The right halves means community of ideals, of hopes. of likes, of inter- ests. It means sufficiency. It means that she" won't have to give him" a night off, because he won't want 1t. He will want to do the things he wants to do and see the people he wants to see with her. Things would be flat to him if she were not there. It means, too, that if there is something that he would enjoy in which she cannot par ticipate she will not hold him back she will urge him to it.
 And so in everything else; mutual understanding mutual trust, mutual freedom but fulfillment in all things for each only in the other.
 The right halves means the right kind of love--love that makes unneces- sary sordid demands, that makes each naturally unselfish where the other f. concerned.
 An ounce of prevention may avoid tons of regret. And marrying for policy, marrying to get any particular thing is not likely, except by a lucky accident, to produce two halves that will match we'll all around A gir, who marries to get out of working. 2 man who marries for home or a help CT In business, a woman who marries for position, a man who marfies a beautiful face, girl who marries a brilliant mind-they can hardly expect to match" perfectly, or with the fun damental perfection that is big enough to override the little flaws
 When the right halves marry they marry for fulfillment in all things-ir companionship, in work, in play, ir love. in life.
