Sometimes, the crueleSt re-
venge that woman can inflict
on an inconstant man is to
keep her promise to "love him,
forever"
Just because black and
mourning veil are becoming to
her is no reason why a woman
should shoot her husband. .
but the idea sometimes gets
into her subconsciousness, and
affords her a pleasant day
dream.
It Is almost as difficult to
induce a bachelor to confess
his love affairs and flirtatiOns,
as it is to make a married man
keep quiet about his.
The old-fashioned man used
to raise the roof, when the
muffinS were soggy. the beef
was tough or the pie-crust was
heavy; but, if a modern
husband wants to register a
complaint, he will have to go
around and argue it out with a
delicatesSen man, probably
twice his size.
The reason why a man is
more inclined to variety in his
love affairs than a woman is
because, in love, all men are
alike, but all women are diff
ferent. A man finds his variety
in many. but woman must
find what variety she can in
one.
A girl never actually realizes
that she is in love, until she
discovers that she prefers one
mans yawns to another mans
kisses. and one mans grOuches
to another mans flattery.
The fifty-fifty marriage is
fast becoming popular, but it is
not running on all cylinders,
yet. 1t will be a complete and
dazzling success on that bright
day, when men are willing to
admit that, if a woman is good
enough to do a mans work, a
man is not too good to do a
woman's work. Hand him the
kitchen-mop, Suzanne!
Alas, many an attractive
bachelors whole life is dark
ened by a cloud just about the
size Of a wedding-ring!

found Fay always patient and
agreeable.
On several occasions I made
appointments with her which it
was inconvenient to keep; at
least keeping them would have
entailed considerable business
sacrifices. But she was never
cross.
Once received word from an
important radio sponsor that
he had to see me Immediately
regarding some important de-
tails of a contract. had an
appointment with Fay, and 1
could not communicate with
her in time to say l would not
be there.
Greeted With a Smile
Wh.n 1 did see her I ap-
preached rather Sheepishly, for
1 myself am very strict about
appointments, and do not like
to have them broken when 1
am the victim. But Fay
greeted me with a smile.
I apoligized most profusely,
but she continued to smile
pleasantly. I explained that I
could have kept our appoint
ment, but it would have been
at the sacrifice of an import
ant business deal. Then she
said:
But you mustn't feel badly
about it. I knew when you
didn't appear there must have
been a very good reason. And
I certainly wouldn't have you
make any sacrifices just to
keep an appointment. Your
time is valuable. Mine isn't.
I'll always be waiting. It is
my business to help, not hinder
you" ..-..-- .t- ...~~,
I have known a few girls
who considered themselves so
high and mighty that they
would accept no reason for
delayed or broken appointment,
although they reserved to them
selves the right to break an ap-
pointment for any excuse they
thought sufficient.
Appreciated Fay More
So, naturally was impressed
with Fay's whole-hearted atti-
tude, and took it as an indica-
ton of her character. I was
right. So I began to eppreci-.
ate not only her love, but her
friendly attitude wnicn is a
powerful support for love.
have seen couples who were
strongly attracted to each other,
but who were not really COM
panionable friends. So, I was
happy to find that Fay full
filled my ideas Of friendship as
we'll as love.
That, to my mind, is the first
step toward lasting marriage
the determination by a man or
a woman that his or her future
partner has those traits which
make for a friendly relation
ship. That means long ac-
quaintance.
And that is why I yentured
the opinion in the beginning of
this chapter that a couple should
begin trying to avoid divorce
even in their courtSnip - by
being confident that they are
we'll suited for each otner.
I hope my theory is correct.
and that Fay and I have as
sured ourselves of lasting love
but. after all, human hearts
are unfathomably mysterious.

grown cold is a bitter morse
Divorce and Hate
And too often, divorce signi-
fies not only the neutrality of
q chilled love, but even active
hate. When love dies between
q man and a woman, its place
may be taken by bitterness.
Divorce is a catastrophe, since
1t represents a wrecked love.
But divorce at best is a mega
tive proposition. 1t is not a
cure for unhappy marriage; it
is merely the tombstone of a
dead love, a symbol of failure.
But separation at least, if
not divorce, is better than liv-
ing together in an inferno OF
hate, vilification and contempt.
ASsuredly such a state of af-
fairs is contrary to nature and
only dire evil can follow.
So, the time to begin trying
to avoid divorce is not when
love begins to cool, but when
it is at the height of its
ardor.
Try to Avoid Divorce
If one waits until there is
danger of divorce, then it is
too late. In my opinion, one
should begin trying to avoid
divorce at the very moment OF
the marriage ceremony, or even
during the courtShip.
Fay and I began assuring our
lasting love during our court
ship. The first step was in
assuring ourselves that we were
really in love. That is not
always easy to know. Men and
women may be strongly at
tracted to each other, and
sometimes they mistake this
magnetism for love. Sometimes
1t is and sometimes it isn't.
Attraction, I believe, can be-
come real and certain love only
through long acqua i n tance.
How otherwise can two people
be sure that their tempera-
ments and tastes are fitted to
each other? How otherwise
can they be sure that they will
be companionable? And if they
are not companionable. how
can they expect their marriage
to last?
I have known Fay for little
less than two years. During
that time we have been a great
deal together, both on the Pa
cific coast and in New York.
We did not enter into marriage
until we were fully confident
that our love and companion
ship would be lasting.
A Difficult COurtship
Our courtship included some
circumstances which would be
Inclined to strain any relation
short of real love. During the
two weeks when I first knew
her in Hollywood, 1 was ex-
tremely busy with work on my
picture. Then. two months later,
she came on to New York,
where I was even buster still
with broadcasting, phonograph
recording and night club work.
We had to see each other at
odd moments which snatchcd
from long days. Usually I was
q bit hurried. sometimes anx-
1ous about by next appointment
and often a little weary. Such
circumstances are not ordinarily
conducive to love. The develop
ment of love usually requires a
certain calmneSs of mind and a
certain physical leisure. But
even under these difficult con-
ditions our affection grew.

COURT FORBIDS
SEA DUMPING

NEW YORK, May 2O.-A ST.
100000 program calling for the
erection of is new incinerators
In Greater New York will be
rushed as a result Of the decision
forbidding New York to- dump
garbage and refuse in the ocean
off the shores Of New Jersey.
The decision was handed down
by the United States Supreme
Court, and, while ruling that New
York must stop dumping, allowed
the State to contiue under re-
strictions until the incineratorS
can be erected. This, it was
estimated, can be accomplished
by the end of 1882.
New Jersey claimed its beaches
were being contaminated and its
shore property damaged by the
refuse being washed up.
