MARRIAGE A GAMBLE? ALL HUSBANDS ALIKE?

Dear Miss Flo:-Would you mind
telling me just what is your idea of
marriage? / consider it a give and
take prOpOsition-a gamble-just
where there is Just as much chance
for happiness, if you really love the
man, as there is for unhappiness.
However, according to a married
friend of mine, Pm all wrong. The
woman, who has been married only
five years, tells me that all husbands
look alike after you have been mar
ried for a few years-that all rom
ance disappears. If this is the case,
isn't it wise for a girl to marry the
man with the most money? Then
when romance goes she at least has
the consolation of things money can
buy. Pm very much in love with a
splendid young man, who is so poor
that we could not possibly marry for
some time. I'd willingly marry him
now and continue working until we
got started, but he won't listen to me.
On the other hand, / know man
whom | respect and admire greatly,
who could give me everything / want.
Ny heart tells me to wait for the
HAL L lONC-tAly 1lCeDQ SCAAo uAO kAtNs
marriage is a business proposition,
and that I should marry the man
with the money. Can you advise me ?
Pauline.
Your friends philosophy about
marriage might be all right if mar
rage were only a business PROPOSE
ton. In that case, a woman would
be quite justified in selling herself
to the highest bidder. But unfortun-
ately, marriage isn't a commercial
deal, and no woman makes such a
bad bargain as the woman who mar
ries for money.
Even if your friends assertion that
all husband look alike after a few
years were true-and if love only did
last a few years-if it only lasted one
year-or one day, those who know
it-who know the JOY of loving and
being lOved-who have even glimpsed
the glory of the paradise it can make
has something that the sordid soul
who married for money never mas.
But your friends assertion is not
right. We hear of the unhappy mar
riages, but little Is said of the happy
ones.
Of course, no sensible person can

look around end see the number Of
divorces and Unhappy marriages
without being made fearful and
without asking oneself what chance
o. happiness there is when so many
others have fa,ied. But hope springs
eternal In the human breast, and each
OF US believes that he or she will real
ize the old fairy tale-"and they were
married and lived happily ever after. >
But, as you say, marriage is a
give and take propositlOn-and at
time 1t seems almost impossible, ev-
en- with a man whom you love. No
man and woman ever lived together
without some difficulties. 1t is so
sweet to forgive the little faults and
peculiarities of the man you love,
and so hard to put up with the ways
of the man you can barely tolerate.
1t is so sweet to do things for the
man you love-and so eXasperating
to have to wark for the man for
whom you care nothing.
Of course, the woman without any
backbone-the woman who cannot
take a few hard knocks-is net the
wife for any man. She would be
miserable-and make the man just
as miserable as she.
Any young woman, with good
body and a good mind should be
ashamed of marrying a man just to
be supported. She certainly should
have enough independence and cour-
age to roll up her sleeves and go to
work and make an honest living for
herself until she is ready to marry
the man she loves whether he is
poor or rich.
Marriage is a gamble-but there
is certainly more chance for happl-
ness than fer unhappiness when two
people love each other, so don't let
a disillusioned woman spoil your
chances of happiness.
If you can make the man you love
realize that it is unfair to ask you
to wait fer him when you are will
ing to continue working-your prob
lem is solved Otherwise, if you love
him-wait for him, and put all
thoughts of the other man with money
out of your head You would never
be happy with him if you didn't love
anybody else, but when you admit
loving a poorer man it is unfair to
the other man to even encourage him
