Says Marriage Is Worth Trying Once Dorothy Dix A Happy Marriage Is What Every Human Heart Craves, Although Number of Those Lucky Enough to Find Ideal Mates Is Limited. H “Il’-‘ Yyou want to be happy, Is it better to marry or stay single?” asks a correspondent. To marry. In spite of the fact that marriage has in it the potentlalities of heaven or hell, the risks are worth taking. There is no other happiness in the world to be compared with that of the man and woman who are really mated, who find in each other | satisfying comradeship; who know that between them exists a love that will | endure while life lasts and who give to each other a perfect loyalty and | tenderness and sympathy and understanding. This is what every heart craves, It is what every man or woman seeks, and a few are lucky enough to find. It is because the capital prize in the matrimonial lottery s so great and rich that it makes it worth while to tuke a chance In the greatest gamble on earth. But even those whose matches were not made in heaven, even those who get a pretty poor sort of makeshift husband or wife, are, as a rule, happier than they would be single. The Creator, looking upon the first bachelor, saw that it was not good for man to be alone. Paradise was not paradise for him unless there was a woman in it, and so Adam was glven a wife equipped with all the faults and virtues that have characterized wives ever since. She lost the man his Garden of Eden home, and yet he was happier working and earning his bread by the sweat of his brow and blaming all of their troubles on her than he was as a rich and carefree single man living a lonely life of luxurious ease. = ND that state of affairs is typical still of the old maid bachelor. The men and women who do not marry play safe. They no risk on getting uncongenial husbands and wives. Their freedom absolute. No nagging wife or tyrannical husband can raise ructions their comings and goings. They can spend their money in gratifying their own desires, instead of having it go for the support of ¢ On the other hand, however, they know the loneliness of tho: no ties. They are free because nobody cares whether they live « have no obligations to oth but they neither love nor are loved. They have their cake, but it has no flavor because they are forced to eat it alone. and the old No selfish, self-centered person is ever happy. No matter how much we worship ourselves, it is not enough. We must have human ties, we must have love. We must have the interest of others, and we must love and be interested in other people. Our soul's satisfaction demands it, and that is why men and women are happier married than single, even if they have tailed in getting their heart's desire in thefr wiv 1d husbands. And there are the consolation prizes in the children. The woman who has her baby’s head upon her breast, the man who gets the thrill of clinging little arms about his neck, have tasted a joy that the old maid and th bachelor never know. Many a marriage that is a failure, so far as bringin the individual husband and wife any happiness, is a grand and glorious success in the children it gives them. and they get a joy out of their splendid boys and girls that nothing else in the worll could have brought them Marriage is an education in the humanities. The unmarried know only the outside of life, but the married pierce it to its center. Marriage brings out all that is best and worst in people, and only husbands and wives know ity to which it can fall Under the stress of matrimony the cowards and the quitters, but in those of stronger fiber it develops all that in characters. It is the fire that burns out the dross and leaves the fine The sacrifices it demands; the unselfishness, the lubor, the patience and the forbearance it enforces make fine porcelain out of common clay often turn ordinary people into saints and martyrs Klir ilock, "[HE men and women who have endured 30 ov 40 years of unhappy stingy, who have borne with peevish, fretful, complaining wives or surly abusive husbands may not have had a happy life, but they are herc courage puts that of any®bemedaled soldler to shame. and they will have stars in their crown In heaven that will make those of the old maid and the old bachelor philanthropist look like tinpan haloes.
