CURIOUS.

Answer-Probably every marriage
that has ever taken place was founded
on the belief of the high contracting
parties that they were bettering them
selves by marrying. Otherwise there
would be no incentive for a man and
woman to enter into relationship that
they know will call for many sacri-
fees of their personal inclinations and
habits, and that will deprive them of
the freedom that the unmarried enjoy.
Every prospective bride and bride
groom must weigh the advantages and
disadvantages of the bargain they are
about to make, and decide that what
they will gain will be greater than
what they will lose, and that they will
be the happier in the new estate than
they are in the old, or else the wedding
bells would cease to ring.
ROYS and girls think that marriage
is the gateway to Paradise and
that they will be perfectly happy if
they can have their adored ones by
their sides. They think that love will
gild poverty and turn struggle and
striving into gay adventure. They
think that bread and cheese will be
nectar if only it is favored with kisses.
They think that they will crave no
other amusement or excitement except
each others society.
Sometimes this is true. Sometimes
they do gain their hearts desire and
are better of married than they would
have been apart. but very often they
find that when they invested their all
In Hearts Preferred they made a bad
guess. 1t didn't boom as they ex-
pected. 1t slumped and they lost out.
OF course. people marry for many
things besides love. Plenty of men
and women marry for money or for
social prestige. Young girls marry
men old enough to be their grand
fathers because the old men can give
them sable coats and emerald bracelets.
Lots OF men marry women who are
good cooks and housekeepers and who
Evening star., 1938-04-23

Will make them comfortable and nurse
them when they are sick, because
wives come cheaper than efilcient
servants. Many rich American girls
marry foreigners for their titles. And
many lonely people marry Just for
companionship. But all marry In
the hope that they are bettering their
conditions. Cupid runs an investment
bureau and a lot of his customers 20

YEAR MISS DIX: / have worked
ever since We were married and
given all OF my money to my husband;
even my insurance names him as the
beneficiary. Now I am along in years
and can't work much longer and would
like to feel that my future is secure
should my husband die. But all Of
our property. our bank account and
his insurance are tied up in such
way that his son and daughter by
previous marriage will get it should
he die, and will get nothing. The
son Is self-supporting and the daugh.
ter happily married to a good pro-
wider. 1 have coaxed, threatened and
done everything know of to induce
my husband to fix things so that I
will be taken care Of, but he refuses,
says nothing is going to happen to
him, he is not going to die. But one
never knows what will happen. Yet
my husband says he loves me de.
votedly PERPLEXED,
Answer-Well. if he loves you he
certainly takes strange way of show
ing it. A mans first duty Is to
provide for his wife, even before he
does for his children, because the chill
dren are young and strong and able
to work and take care OF themselves,
whereas an old woman Is helpless.
In your case the law will protect
you should your husband leave you
penniless. A widow has certain rights
that her husband cannot alienats
from her. DOROTHY DIX.
