We Call II Our Money

To Mrs. Harold Bates of To-

lousy simple and what's more,

Marriage Is q union OF two
individuals into one family.
After this union everything be-
longs to the family-nOt to the
husband alone or the wife
alone. When we take our vows
we agree TO share the bad and
good alike. When one has some
thing to contribute to the en-
joyment of both, IL should be
given without thought OF own
ership and consequently en-
jOyed equally by both.
