Is Marriage a Failure7
Must BE Fifty-Fffty.

Ny husband and i have been mar
ried two and one-half years. having
been married extremely young, and
We believe ours to be a successful
marriage. To be sure, we have
quite spirited scraps at times. but
we soon make up again. Jim is
slow to anger. and patient; i am
excitable and have a temper.
Money matters never bother US. for
what's his is mine and what's mine
is his. Our bank account is a joint
one, and ] may write a check when
ever I choose.
Jim and l know two younJ cou-
pies with whom we go about once
in a while. Jane and Tom have
only been married five months: gra-
cious how they scrap and act in
public. They slap each other in
fun. of course. or SO it's supposed
to be. He shows no respect for
women and she waits on him. I'm
convinced they are not really happy
and that theirs Is not a successful
marriage.
Arlys and Mel, on the other hand,
are different. Both are quiet and
polite to one another, and they do
not act absurdly in public. Yet
they show that they care deeply for
each other. They have been mar
-ried year and one half and 1 know
they are happy.
Taking 1t all in all, / should say
It's about half and half. One-half
the marriages are successful and
the other half are not. would say
IL you would have a happy and sue
cessful marriage marry young and
grow Into each others ways, and
before you rush into 1t be certain
you know well the habits and tenn
permanent of the other.
And do not b, so modest that you
neglect to have a heart to heart
talk together before you marry. of
your beliefs. aims, and ideals of the
marriage state. and you will not en-
ter 1t blind-foided. to. be rudeiy
awakened later. Therein lies the
most important way TO a happy
marriage, speak from experience.
Tor Jim, and had this talk, and
never have regretted it.-and I know
we never shall. We knew eacn
otner before We took our vows, ana
there was no guessing as to VIVA,
sort~of person each had selected.

= Accofiance With Margie's

Dream.
1t was my misfortune several
years ago to be in a hospital for
two months Time passed slowly
until ! made the acquaintance of
another patient who proved to be
more than congeniaI as the days
passed by. Among her daily vlsi-
tors-we even shared our callers
was a charming young girl who my
friend explained was engaged to
her son. l happened to be wearing
a diamond at the same time. SO 1t
was only natural that was much
interested in their love affair and
its development.
Bob. the son, was with the Ameri-
can troops in France at the time.
From his letters. little incidents in
his life that the mother related and
the interest others displayed in MIN
II was easy for me to imagine what
an ideal sort of a chap he must be.
Up to that time his life had been
apparently one OF sacrifice. He had
given up school early that he might
work and make life easier for his
mother and the younger children.
After war was declared he en-
listed and was sent almost at once
to France. The savings from his
small monthly check were divided
equally between his mother and
Margie, the girl" The whole fam
lily fairly radiated love. and already
Margie seemed to be one of them.
1t was she who paid the doctor for
the operation when the mother was
puzzling how IL could be managed
paid. too, with the money Bob had
sent her and which she had hoped
some day to use in her own home.
In the same unselfish way she cared
for the younger children during the
mothers absence.

him to love me any more. He has
not been, in the ONCE since. but
asked me to think It over. Please
advise me at once. as, he will be

He may love you. yet may have

to be sure his money is not going
to be spent upon one on whom .it
might turn out to be q total loss.
As the palmist would say. his head
line may be much mere predom-
inant than his heart line. On. the
