This is the question Betty asks.
She is independent. She is twenty
five and she realizes the RESPONSE
bilities of marriage. Shall she give
up her freedom, and her financial
independence? It's the old ques-
ton again. And every time, if there
is love, would say yes.
Marriage can be a failure. Granted.
But marriage can be the most
beautiful thing in the world. And
it is much easier to make it succeed
than to make it fail, though to hear
some sensationalists talk you'd
never think so. Give up a beauti-
full marriage, a companionship that
is sweet and genuine for a few in
| dependent shekels and a forlorn old
age alone? Well I guess not!
If young people could only learn
to adjust themselves to each other
with kindness, understanding, gen
erosity, and unselfishness, we'd
never hear Of marriage failures. If
they would glory in the sacred tie
that binds them instead Of pulling
away do IuOuSH " .UIcdh all lIOil
chain, they'd be so much happier.
Marriage was never designed for a
hardship. 1t was meant to be a COM
radeship, an even helpfulness in
which each did his or her share to-
ward rounding out and perfecting
life, striving toward a finer, better
marriagehood and parenthood. And
every couple that marries has the
chance to make marriage a success
instead of a failure. Betty can do

In such a case, it might not have
gone well with me. But prisoners
were never punished for anything
they had done outside of Jail.
They were only locked in their
