Modern
Marriage
There's a Lot More
To Happy Marriage
Than Just Love
By Dr.. PouI Popenoe

Love, for most of us. is the most
important ingredient of a happy
marriage. There supposedly have
been many quite satisfactory
marriages without it, but these
involved extraordinary people or
circumstances.
But, important as is love, 1t
alone cannot insure happiness for
the simple reason that love
withers and dies unless carefully
nurtured. Many, many factors
must be combined with love to
make a successful marriage.
John wants to get married, but
he wants to be sure "it'S for life. -
Therefore, he'd like to find some
way of determining-in advance
he'll make a go of it.
I gather he doesn't think just
being in love is enough insurance
he's right. /.
"Of course. I'd marry a girl pri-
marily because I loved her." he
writes. But I've been in love
with half a dozen girls, or thought
I was. Where do I go from there?
I've read some Of the books you've
recommended and they have rat
ing scales to predict success in
marriage. Then. I read elsewhere
that the scales are no good. How
about it? Is there any way of
picking out a wife scientifically"
I can't recommend being too
scientific about picking a wife.
Use of head as we'll as heart is
definitely needed, but I don't
think John will get much help
from the elaborate scales he tells
about. They are not worthless.
but their worth is so small that
I find them Of little use. The
fact is that all OF them put
together account for only about
Is per cent of the factors that
make marriage a success.
What are the rs per cent Of fac
tors that these scales don't find? I
think they largely consist of the
feeling that marriage is the most
thing you'll ever tackle;
that you'll exhaust all the re-
sources of science and religion
to make it a success: that you'll
let nothing but a catastrophe in
terfere with your success. If you
go into marriage-if you 60 into
- with that feeling.
you're likely to succeed.
Among the girls whom you
could love, you'll do well to pick
out one who has a happy DISPOSE
ton and good character; who
comes from a happy home; and
who has a good many Of the same
tastes, habits and backgrounds as
yourself. If she has all those ad-
it won't be hard to love
her, will it. John?

If you haven't been able to

pect miracles during your two
weeks-with-pay.
This is the advice Of Carletto
Franzoni, who watches with COM
passion the perennial husband

Chequit Inn on historic Shelter
Island. N. Y. He adds:
"If a girl catches a husband on

directs the tactics of New York's
wholesale millinery industry from

finding time also to be a charm
ing hostess, admiring wife and
highly efficient mother. She says:
"I wouldn't recommend this for
all girls in search of romance,
but I guess I was just lucky. A
girl friend and I were touring
Europe and Africa, and arrived
at Biskra, in the Sahara Desert
in French Algeria, looking some

was manager of the hotel, and
was so Mortified to see two Ameri-
can girls travelling alone that he
decided we needed a keeper. Nat
urally, he couldn't marry both OF
us. I won."
The Franzonis have worked out
a set of rules for vacationing girls,
from long observation on how to
get the most out of a vacation:

ANSWER: BY all means take it.
At Is you should be independent
and able to stand on your own
feet. What would you do If any
thing happened to your parents?
You undoubtedly will have to face
the world sometime, and the best
time to start is now. There
should be no unpleasantness about
your work: just tell the family
that you have this opportunity
and intend to take it.

siderate. I don't know how this
gossip started.

that gossip seldom starts without

oy "uTiet INSSSU
DEAR MISS NISSEN: I am 81
and a senior in college. I have
q great interest in the career I
planned. which is teaching, and
want to accept a position after
graduation. However, my fiance
is greatly opposed to my working
after marriage. We have no other
differences but this. I feel I
must put my education to some
use. but he believes a woman's
place is in the home. E. M.
ANSWER: Both Of you are
right! A woman's first place is
at home. caring for her family,
but there are many reasons why
it is also desirable for her to
have a career. While it is greatly
to be hoped that your married
life will be without trial or tribu-
lation, the possibilities of the fu-
ture are impossible to foresee. FL
nancial reverSeS, serious illnesses,
accidents, are among the occasions
which would make a career in
the family a wonderful thing.
Teaching, especially. is a fine field
for a woman to hold in reserve.
Perhaps you can convince your
nance to accept your working for
q year. or until you have a per-
manent license. Then continue
with the minimum amount of
work needed to keep the license
valid, which certainly could be
accomplished without discomfort
to your family.
DEAR. MISS NISSEN: Though
We have been married only three
months, we are having trouble al
ready because I am jealous of my
wife. She was married before;
her husband was killed in a hunt
ing accident. I have never been
married. I am very much in love
with my wife. and adore her little
boy. who calls me daddy. The
trouble is that my wife still car
ries a picture of her first husband
and 1t seems that whenever we
visit her folks the husband isl
brought into the conversation.
H. G.
ANSWER: Anyone married toI
q man or woman who has had a
previous spouse encounters much
the same trouble. You cannot
expect your wife to forget her|
first husband, nor to have her son
forget his father. You are a lit
tie oversensitive about the mat
ter. Be assured. if your wife
didn't love you, she wouldn't have
married you, and time will lessen
the place your predecessor has in
her thoughts.
DEAR MISS NISSEN: When al
boy calls to take me out on al
date, is it proper for me to invite
him to meet my parents, or should
I wait until he has taken me out
five or six times?
Also, if I ask a boy to a dance
at school, do pay for the tickets?
STELLA.
ANSWER: BY all means invite
your date in to meet the folks.
They are anxious to see what sort
of boy you are going out with, and
he is curious to see what your
parents are like. When he gets
home, his own mother and father
will make inquiries regarding both
you and your family. Which is
as it should be.
When you ask boy to a dance
at your school. you are supposed
to buy the tickets. ALI other eX-
penSes of the evening are his.
DEAR MURIEL NISSEN: At

Pronunciation Clinic.

Cincinnati: Ever time we study
about the Caribbean Sea the argu-

ton arises. Will you please settle it
once and for all for our class?-SUE
Answer: Though most modern

ton is relatively recent. Such early
gazetteers as Lppincott's (188O

The sea was named for the Carib

Lesser Antilles (an-TTLL-eez), an

Since Carib is accented on the
first syllable, which has the fat
"a" as in carrot, thus: KAR-ib;
since the language of the Caribs is
Cariban, KAR-i-ban; and since the
name Caribbees has but the one

Small Animals Are Relatives OF
Big Jungle Beasts.
Certain animals of Africa and a
section Of Asia have been a puzzle
to men of science. It has been
hard to find their relatives!
The animals of which I speak
are known as hyraxes pronounced
HL-rax-es). They are common In
several rocky parts Of Africa, also
in Syria. Some persons speak Of
them as comics, and others call
them rock rabbits.
Hyraxes differ in several ways
from comics, which are European
rabbits. They also differ from
rabbits of other continents: their
ears are small and some Of their
teeth differ widely from those of
any rabbit.
The teeth are important in
classifying an animal. The molarS
Of hyraxes are Of much the same
shape as those of certain big
animals. including the rhinoceros.
On a small scale, the stomach of

1 club spade Mt Pass
2 hearts Pass hearts Pass
4 hearts AL Pass
In today's deal, for example, Mr..
Abel should have made his contract
of four hearts in spite of the bad
trump break. He gave it a lot
Of thought and mentally covered
several Of the salient points in
volved. But he failed to think
through to the end. If he had,
surely he would have discovered a
simple safety play which was almost
certain to bring him success.
Miss Brash opened the king Of
diamonds and dummy's ace won.
MIR. Abel then led a small heart
and captured Mrs. Keen's queen
with the king. He next laid down
the ace Of hearts and verified the
bad news.
At this point 1t was clear that
Il he took out all of Miss Brash's
trumps, he would have none left
himself. Since he had only nine
tricks in sight (four clubs, four
hearts and q diamond, he would
have to get his 10th trick from the
spade suit and that would involve
letting the enemy in. With trumps
gone, they would run their entire
diamond suit against him.
Well, leading four rounds of
trlmps was out of the question.
But the situation didn't seem to
be too serious. At trick four Mr..
Abel led spade and put up dunn
my's king. Mrs. Keen won with
the ace and returned a club, which
Miss Brash ruffed. After winning
a diamond trick, Miss Brash Just
had to wait for spade trick at
the end to defeat the contract.
The proper, and by no means
double-dummy, play was to win the
second round of hearts with dunn
my's jack and lead a spade from
the board. If Mrs. Keen should win
with the ace, Abel would have two
good spades. If Miss Brash won,
then there was no way for her to
ruff a club.
Since Miss Brash had bid spades,
shown up with as many as four
hearts, and led diamonds, surely
she was the one who could sensibly
be figured to be short in clubs.
If, on the spade lead from dummy
Mrs. Keen had played low, Mr.
Abels queen would have won. And
since that represented his tenth
trick, he could have cashed his
remaining trumps and clubs to-
rack up his game.

Though it was a belated cele-

ment weather made the trip mad
viSable. So the tree, wrapped
gifts and everything that was in
readiness for Christmas at the
proper time, was put aside against
that time when the families could
get together.
Since it is always hard to find
a time convenient for all concern
ed when affairs are postponed, it
was mid April before the Bennetts
got to Illinois, but the only diff
ference they said in their 1851

packages, and the holiday dinner
were all just as they should have
been had Christmas come off on
