NCOMPATIRHITY

The first t1UeIUe years of married
life are the most critical, according
to Kathleen Norris. The husband and
iUife sometimes tend to drift apart
during these years because they find
it impossible to develop similar in
terestS." Miss Norris attributes this
to failure to build upon those inter.
ests they do hare in common. This
is not only dangerous, but stupid"
she explains, because happiness is
never found ready made"
