This question lies at the root OF
a very large share of marital diff
culties. Open discussion, by groups
of adults, will help solve some diff
fculties but much evil is present be-
cause of false teaching and early
childhood experiences that have
made a permanent impression on the
mind, thus becoming responsible for
attitudes that are the basis of con-
slant misunderstanding and unhap-
piness.
When the husband and the wife
do not need each other, the begin
ming of the end has come. She is a
silly wife, who has allowed all func-
tions, peculiar to herself to have no
place in her husbands life. Some
day he will ask himself the question,
Why do we live together at all? He
is stupid husband who trains his
wife TO live without him. The hus-
band-wife relationship should fill
real needs or il may become non
existent.
Good health in both husband and
wife are vital. OFTEN disposition and
character are determined by health.
The obligations of married life are
met with difficulty when the health
is poor. We have many noble ex-
amples of men and women who have
carried double burdens because one
partner failed. But why ask anyone
to assume handicap at the begin
ming of married life? OF course love
and loyalty require sacrificial devo-
ton when i'll health comes later.
Zone who seeks life partner mere
ly because of financial advantage
is to be summed. OF course, if the
person that one loves happens to
have money, he certainly need not
refuse her on that account.
The "Prctty" Girl
THE pretty girl has the advantage
over one less attractive AS one
comes to know her, however, the
beautiful girl sometimes becomes
actually repulsive, and her beauty is
only a means of aggravation, for
ugliness Of character and disposition
may make beauty of feature despis-
can constantly capitalize on beauty,
she often fails to develop other
qualities, and she becomes weak and
superficial. Often the less attractive
know her. Many n moron is pretty,
and many vixen is hidden behind
fair features. The poisonous spider
may be concealed in the beautiful
flower. Beauty is NOT fundamental,
and it should not be put first among
a young womans assets.
Education is always an asset to
the one who knows how to use it
well. There are educated fools, how
ever, and there are intelligent per-
sons whose schooling is limited. H.
telIigence is vital,--a liberal educa-
ton is desirable.
Should one expect to find a
Venus in beauty, an angel in virtues.
Il genius is frugal and efficient
housekeeping. one trained to grace
social occasions, possessing natural
charm and ability to make addresses
rich in wit and wisdom? The good
Lord seldom puts all these Jewels
into enc casket. 1t is easy to be I'M
reasonable in ones judgments. Some
men think that unless one is a good
business man he is altogether I'M
worthy. Others think that if one
does not keenly appreciate classical
music and poetry he is hopelcssly in
ferior. Some women do not enjoy
social life, while others revel in it.
Some are poor conversationalists,
and others seem to have no terminal
facilities whatever when they get
started. One has a right to expect a
balance in life, but he
cannot expect his wife to be a
specialist in every field. Generous
allowances must be made for short

sential to happiness in the home
