FRIDAY, | DorothyDix Mix Good Nature and Appreciation of Each Other’s Virtues, Sweeten With Ability to Love, Stir With Sense of Justice. 9., Gives OUd- Fashioned Recipe That Never Fails The Ingre- diente for a Happy Marriage CORRESPONDENT asks what qualities a husband and wife should possess in order to make marriage a success. The first is the ability to love. Not every one possesses it. Indeed, z talent for loving is just as rare as a good voice, yet only thoss who have this great gift ever make matrimony & grand, sweet song, Instead of 30 or 40 years of perpetual discord. It is a great thing to be loved, but it is far more important to be the lover than to be the beloved one. For only love blinds our eves to the faults of thosa with whom we live, and makes their eccentricities and peculiarities rharacteristics, instead of damnable faults and weakuesses that £et upon our nerves. A grain of love outwelghs a ton of the standard d virtues. It doesn’t make much difference what an individual is. It is what we think he or she is that counts, and a marrfage is successful only so long as a husband and wife are so hypnotized that they sce in each other only what they want to see.

That is the most needed, and the rarest thing in matrimony. Men and women give each other devotion—they make sacrifices for each other, but when it comes to playing the game of matrimony fair and square and dividing 50-50 on its work and worry and pleasures and perquisites, they seem unable to do it, and yet nothing else would do so much to assure their happiness. A man will work his fingers to the bone in order to pay his wife's bills and support her in ease and comfort, but he will not be just with her and make & falr divide of their income.
