TO MAKE A MARRIAGE HAPPY
Cultivate a Joy in Doing Things To

Cultivate a Joy in Doing Things To.
 gether, Writer Says
 If you ask half dOzeen friends which quality is most likely to make for hap piness in marriage you will probably receive half a dozen different replies. And all will be Illuminating.
 The man much occupied with business may regard common sense as supremely important. An imaginative woman will tell you that sympathy is the first es- sential, while less sensitive minded woman suggests good temper. The grace of cheerfulness, the benediction of that ordinary" kindness which, because so rare, is so extraordinary, the sum shine of merry nature, the tender ap. peal of unselfishness-all these qualities make for happiness in marriage.
 But what is the final test? Which of all the varied characteristics of human nature is, if developed and cherished, most likely to bring enduring happiness ill marriage?
 The answer is to be found in an ob. serEation not of new marriages but of those which have known years of storms, of disappointments, of disiIlus. sions. In happy marriages which might so easily have been unhappy, is 1t not the power of being companionable which has kept husband and wife together?
 Marriages have often come to a strange end because the man and the woman have not learned to be friends. In o marriage where the joys of companion. ship have been incOmpletely realized, Q disappointment in marriage as such may lead to permanent estrangement. Btu where there i5 real friendship, a happy companioship, joy in doing things to gether, the desire to continue a great cOmradeship may prove stronger than the wish to end a disappointing mar. riage.
 Modern women expect much more from life than their mothers expected I am always surprised and little en. vious, when, reading the novels of the latter Victorian days, I find how con. tented women were with little happi. ness. They made little joy go a long way.
 The women of today might take lesson from those unconscious heroines If marriage as a romantic relationship has proved a disappointment, there is inspiration and refuge in the knowledge that friendship between husband and wife may be the most beautiful relation. ship in the world, becoming a more lasting bond than the marriage tie itself Jane Travernor in the London Mail
