That is a question
 that it is impos- sible to answer definitely because it all depends upon the tastes, the habits and the previous condition
 of those who are marrying. What is riches to one couple would seem poverty to another. What one man and woman would think luxury an- other would esteem grinding hardships.

Undoubtedly, the rich have many more temptations than the poor. , Every man with money must be a Joseph if he remains faithful to his wife, for he is pursued by young and beautiful women, who use eV- cry art and vile to win him away from his lawfully welded spouce. Indeed, in such danger from the gold-diggers is the rich man that much of women's extravagance is based on the knowledge that about the only way that a wife can keep husband is to keep him poor.

Morality is not a matter of fi- nance, but the indulgence in it is. It takes time and money to phil ander, and there is no other such safeguard against temptation as be- ing busy and lacking the price.

Many a man drags a woman down to poverty and then turns from the hard worked drudge he has made of her to some lovely creature in shimmering silks and fiimy faces, who answers the dream of softness and beauty that is every mans ideal of the eternal femin- inc. Many a woman who ''has left a good home to be cook, housemaid, laundress, seamstress and nurse for a man has looked at her husband and wondered where the foolkiller was on the day she went with him to tile altar.

 No man is in a proper frame of mind to be a lover when he is undernourished, and the affection that has to stand the wear and tear of shabby clothes, and the harassment of unpaid bills is pret- ty apt soon to show signs of wear ing out and frazzling around the edges.

A young couple with too much money have not a great chance for domestic happiness because the world steps in to separate them. They are never thrown absolutely on each other for companionship. They are never entirely necessary to each other. They never do for each other the little personal things that weld two people into being one.

We are all slaves to our tastes and habits, and the men and women who have been accu<l ,med to living in beau tiful surroundings, to dressing well, to dainty foods, to cultivated society, to going to the theater and having books and papers, are miserable when their marriage plunges them into ugliness and sordidness, and a perpetual strug- gle for the bare necessities of existence.

Generally speaking, however, the
 amount of money it takes to fi-

 properly is enough greenbacks to
 provide bread and butter, and an

 enough to furnish a limousine and

 Curiously enough, love does moi seem able to survive either extreme penury or riches.

They are bound by a common interest and a com con ambition; they toll shoulder to shoulder; they have every hope and plan together; they have a comradeship that the rich never know, and a peace and freedom from worry that the very poor never enjoy.
