our modern system of education is
the total lack of any course in
the chief career of 80 per cent of the
worlds population-marriage.
If man wants to be an elevator
starter, or a floor walker, or an
accountant, or street car conduct
or, he first must become thoroughly
acquainted with the things that
make good elevator starters and
street car conductors. He also must
become acquainted with the things
that go to make up a bad one.
If woman wants to spend eight
hours a day in an Office, typing,
filing, or any of the other jobs girls
do these days, she must first fit
herself for the position.
But here We are, all of us, being
trained and educated and guided
so that we may be prepared for
an avocation, that merely is tenn
porary. And our real job, that of
knowing how to live congenially
and happily with other men and
women, is completely neglected.
Conflicts Cause Woe
Most unhappiness after marriage
of the man and women who have
contracted the bargain. The man
has a mental quirk, which his wife
| finds impossible to understand. The
wife has little annoying ways of
thinking that set her husband on
his ear. Instead of being tolerant
and making compromises about
these things, the battle royal
starts, which usually, these days,
winds up in the divorce courts.
Now if young boys and girls were
| trained, for an hour a day, to be
tactful, liberal, understanding crea-
lures, with minds as carefully de-
veloped as their bodies, lot of this
quibbling would be dispensed with.
And Reno and Paris, for quick
divorce, would go bankrupt waiting
for trade.

Attitude Makes for Misery
Now this attitude of his makes me
very miserable. I am naturally a rather
| companionable person, and I do so dread
| going out and acting bored. when really
am not. But more than that, 7 hate
the scenes afterward.
| Miss Lee, dc you think I should marry
boy who is so insanely jealous? Under
stand. I love him Just the same, but I
am so embarrassed and chagrined about
this misunderstanding. What do you
say to it all? -
It has been said that there is no
cure for jealousy, but that is not
true. A sure cure for jealousy, or
any of its kindred feelings, that
make man ignominouS in the eyes
of others, is a little common sense.
Straight Talk Necessary.
In the first place, your young man
must not have very high opinion
of himself, nor must he be very
sure of his ground with you that
he will get so hot and bothered
about the fact that you carry on
little conversation with other. men
on party.
OF course the only way the thing
can be ironed out is within him
self. Some time, when he is in a
genial mood, tell him how annoying
it is to see him make such an idiot
of himself, humiliate you before
others, by making it appear that
you are not trustworthy.
