There's faint in his or her chemical
formula and there is nothing to be done
about it, declares the famous author
who contributes herewith some frank
and interesting views on matnmony

ried nfe-and that's going a long way isn't it?-
is sympathy.
IF you'll take look at the dictionary you
will find that sympathy comes from the Greek
words which mean to suffer with. And that's
just about it. You've got to be able to suffer
with a man, or q woman, and at the same
time that he or she is suffering.
Does that sound little cockeyed? Per-
hapS. But try it once or twice and think you
will find that it works pretty well.
1T means that if a man is up against some
thing he will confide in his wife rather than
in somebody else; and the wife won't have to
60 to a pSychoanalySt. She'll tell her husband.
And if that isn't the healthy way to go about
it, then what have you?"
- billboard and every advertisement along the
road. has to be counted out as a strong struc-
ture for marriage, according to the popular
novelist 1t has place, Of course but 1t is
only a fraction of the whole.
I'm not sure, but think know one way
whereby husband and wife can arrive at
greater emotional compatibility" he remarks.
Forget sex.
Il mean by that don't get married for
lovely body pretty face alone. The physi-
cal element lasts just as long That remark
has been made more than million times, but
nobody ever takes it for granted 1t always has
to be found out personally and painfully.
THAT is why say that brains are rare The
only trouble with marriage is that no one ever
does any thinking till afterward.
Its like dealing in Wall Street on margin.
Only in marriage, the devil of it is you always
get called.
That advice is negative, perhaps. Now
he makes a positive suggestion.
oddly enough, and of course one is a
stodgy old fool to say this, there are two indis-
pensables to a successful marriage. One is
solemnity. Another is loyalty. Then, of course.
there are such old-fashioned things as a sense
of duty, a sense of compromise.
Another item which should be added is
willingness to practice monogamy when mar
ried. 1t doesn't suggest much permanency
when you a young wife stopping all over
her husbands boy friend, or the husband paw
ing somebody's else wife on the sofa.

going overtime. OF course it's terribly smart
and up to date-if you don't happen to think
it smacks Of the pig sty."
The Bible which says that the twain shall
become one flesh makes no suggestions about
the mind and heart and spirit. Emotional
privacy was one of the qualities that George
Hibberd sought in his misunderstood world,
which Maj. Gibbs describes in his book. Such
privacy is the cornerstone of happy marital
life. Where it exists there can be no nag
ging, according to the authors formula.
THE importance of privacy goes deeper than
having a room to ones self in which to strew
papers and SO on Maj Gibbs continues. "Pri-
vacy is one of the essential elements in mar
riage. Married folk can ignore it only at
their peril.
"k 10 BETTER Illustration of privacy has
v ever been given than that of Mr.. Kahlil
Gibran in a small volume called The Prophet.
Let me quote few lines:
Let there be spaces in your togetherness.
And let the pinds OF the hedrens dance be-
ttDeen you.
Loue one another but make not a bond OF loUe:
Let it rather be nroping sea bet1Ueen the
shores OF your souls
Fill each others cup, but drink not from one
cup.
Giue one another of your bread but eat not
from the same loaf
Sing and dance together and be joyous but let
each one of you be alone,
EUen the strings OF lutte are alone though
they quiUer NTH the same music.
Gipe your hearts, but not into each others
keeping
For only the hand of Life can contain your
hearts.
And stand together, yet not too near together:
For the pillars OF the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress gro1p not in
each others ShddoD.
"In other words, the mere question of liv-
ing in two rooms doesn't begin to be important
the knowledge of how to live has been
imbibed. The spaces in your togetherness' are
not the physical spaces. They are of the mind
and the soul, the outcome of that intuitive
knowledge which dictates when to ask, and
when not to ask, when to insist and when to
compromise.
THE root Of all unhappiness in marriage Ii

not q two-room apartment when all Of your
friends have four rooms, nor bank statement
shot full of holes, nor having to eat a fried egg
when you feel like caviar. The root Of unhap-
pness in marriage is mostly ego, blind self
ishness which cannot see that ones partner Is
q person, too, with feelings just as keen as ones
own; with q heart that can ache just as DAMN
ably as ones own, and which has an equally
strong desire to express itself, whether in bad
temper or in terms Of cheerfulness.
In other words, you have married human
being haven't you? Granted this remarkably
simple bit of knowledge, what difference does
it make whether you live in two rooms or in q
duplex? And what earthly difference should
it make whether the world is in a depression or
at the peak Of prosperity?
Aren't people getting happiness out OF
marriage in Russia in spite of a political theory
in which we do not believe? Or in Germany
in spite of Hitler and all of his buddies?

4 AAJ. GIBBS believes most soundly that two
wi people who enter the marriage relation
ship must do so with q sincere desire and
belief that it will last always. In order 70
achieve this aim they must have a definite
realization Of the step that they taking,
he states.
"It is hardly an exaggeration to say that
many of the young people of today tackle mat
rimony as though 1t were weekend party.
something to relieve the boredom an escape
from the humdrum,' he says. 1T would be
better for society, as well for themselves, II
they made it week end.
There wouldn't be any of the inevitable
aftermath of divorce, which, after all. is merely
a confession of fiat failure of lack of brains, OF
lack of understanding of the word marriage"
1t follows of course, from Maj. Gibbs plea
for a sincere desire to build marriage that
will last, that both parties to the union must
come to realize the values of old-faShioned :
monogamy. The early postwar years saw
fidelity relegated to place lmong the out-of-
style habits which, according to the young in
tellectuals, we were outgrowing. The only trou-
BILE was that when it was discarded, the mar
riages involved seemed to have a way of going
on the rocks.
More and more, people are beginning TO
realize that making a successful marriage
leaves little time for treading the primrose
path.

IF YOU love nagging woman-and there
are men who think they can-don't marry
her in the tickle hope that you can rebuild
her voice and nature until a recipe for
spinach becomes music when she talks
about 1t!
II the man you love is a nagger and you're
optimistic about it, just remember that your
presence, no matter how charming, will not
cure him.
You are marrying the chosen one for better
or worse, and If pre-narital conditions are
disagreeable accept them as a prophecy of
trouble. If you marry and are unhappy, COM
fort yourself with the knowledge that you took
the one you loved for worse!
Married, single, i'll, well, happy, unhappy.
busy, idle-a nagger will always nagl
This is the deduction of Maj. A. Hamilton
Gibbs, famous author, whose recent book.
"Rovers Glide On deals in large part with
the attempt of mddle-aged George Hbberd
to escape from his wife, who has become q
nagging old scold. Physical escape was i'm
portant. But mental and spiritual escape was
infinitely more So So he sets out to seek
salvation, weary of his own world Of nom
comprehension.
Maj. Gibbs, who studied human nature far
and near before drawing his deductions says
that the nagging weed cannot be uprooted.
1T is my conviction, based on observation,
that man can nag as badly as woman" he
is a swift reaching for meat ak. fail to
see how any jury could bring in any other
verdict than justifiable homicide against either
man or woman who, being a nagger, is bloodily

Il low can they avoid it? How can dog
avoid having hydrophobia? No. take
that back. It's an insult to the canine After
all, perfectly sound dog can catch it in a heat
wave but the human who nags isn't sound.
There's taint in the chemical formula
that went to his or her making, and there's
nothing to be done about it. It's just too bad!
My confirmed belief is that one can't fight
ones formula heredity and training to the
contrary notwithstanding.
THE question arises as to whether or not
one can discover the tendency to nag before
marriage. Well. why not? It doesn't take an
ultra -astute girl to tell if her beau is a tight
wad, does it? And nagging is an irresistible
vice that crops up at every chance.
IF it isn't directed at ones self, prior to the
wedding ceremony, in all human probability
1t is already in full flower against the members
of his or her family. :. You'll notice that
keep on saying his her. You can't convince
me that nagging isn't $3.50 proposition"
Maj. Gibbs discounts the old theory that 1t
is more difficult for a man to live with an
uncomfortable wife than for woman to live
with similarly diSagreeable husband.
1T isn't any more difficult for a man to
live with a woman than for woman to live

THREE AMATEUR PLAYS
PRODUCED LAST NIGHT
Winners in Recent Contest Are
Staged at Western Pres
byterian Church.

Amateur dramatics had an inning
last night with the presentation of
the three one-act plays that were
awarded prizes in the recent play
contest conducted by the Drama Guild
Of Washington before a capacity au-
dience at the Western Presbyterian
Church.
Despite the fact that everything,
including the sets, acting, lighting and
whatnot, was more amateurish than
otherwise-although much more could
not have been expected from original
vehicles and the facilities with which
the players had to work--every one
seemed to have a good time.
The House of the Star" third
prize play by Anne Darlington, opened
the program with its atmosphere of
the French Revolution. Ruth Hart
rick, as La Estrella, a popular young
entertainer, who sought to aid her
brother, priest, in his methods of
giving assistance to French patriots,
carried along this piece, which only
needed more Of plot to have taken
first honors.
Frank e. Jamison, who directed "A
Deed OF Trust" came in for a round
OF applause on his performance as q
grouchy, staid attorney who waxed
histrionic in order to bring about q
reconciliation between an estranged
young husband and wife (Augusta
Machen and Marvin Beers) and to
make his prim secretary acknowledge
her Observation-Disclosures respect for
him. This second-prize play was
written by Mrs. James Gallagher.

Belasco Theater, Sunday evening,

Washington will be afforded an op-
portunity to see the results Of Mr.
Shawn's desire to present a dance
program given entirely by men.
In ancient times and among
primitive people" Mr.. Shawn says,
dancing was almost entirely done
by men. In a large majority of the
countries of the world today dancing
is still predominantly masculine 1t
is only in this European-American
civilization, and here only in the last
two centuries, that dancing has ever
been considered feminine"
Shawn has now organized and
trained the first company in modern
times composed entirely of men dane
ers, and with them he presents a
program of dances essentially mascu-
line in principle and performance.

young singers, they brought q rare

no roughness or blatant tones to dis
turb the smooth outline. Mr.. Rehg
directs with authority, and he added
variety to the planned program by in
