But it isn't. One guess at a soul mate is as good as another, and those who make a failure of their first mar- riages would be mighty apt to go on finding matrimony a failure no matter how many times they got married. “Of course, there are some exceptions to this rule. Occasionally you find | a man and woman whose first marriages were failures and whose second mar- riages are glorious successes. But this does not happen very often, for, taking it by and large. those who could not adjust themselves to one wife or husband cannot adjust themselves to another. Those who found the restraints of mat- rimony irksome in their first marriage find them equally irksome in a second | or third marriage. “For the perfect husband and wife do not exist. If you had the choice of the whole wide world you couldn't find one human being in it who would be utterly congenial to you or always sympathetic or who would ever perfectly inderstand you “There is t times and who doesn't rub you the wrong way. Nor can ke and have it, too. You can't be married and single. You bound and free. You can’t have the privileges of a married.person and those of a single man or woman. *And so. in the end, whether you live harmoniously with your husband or wife or fight like cats and dogs, depends upon how good a sport you are and how much intelligence you bring to bear upon settling your matrimonial prob- lems. If you are game and sensible you can make a success of any marriage: | if you are a quitter and a fool your marriage will go blooey with one husband | or one wife as well as with another. When I was a very young & girl T eloped with a boy a few years older than myself. came a nightmare. for we were both headstrong and hot-tempered and we ved in a perpetual row. “The second year after I was married T had a baby boy, and if it had not | been for nim and the horror ot divorce that my mother had implanted in my mind I should have loft my husband, for it seemed that we had nothing in common. We didn't like the same things, nor even the same people. “This went on for 10 miserable years. Then my husband turned to q | another woman for the companionship that 1 had not given him and I became | | desperate and decided to seek a divorce. I went for advice and comfort to a friend who had been twice divorced and three times married, and to my amaze- ment she urged me to stick to my husband. “‘My dear.’ she said to me, ‘don't do it. It may surprise you to hear that T do not believe in divorce, but T do not, and no woman who has not tried it knows how little happiness divorce brings her “‘Believe me when I tell you that there is only about one case in a thousand where divorce is really necessary. Happy marriages are not handed out on golden platters to any one. They are the result of adjustment and broad-mindedness and tolerance on the part of both, or, at least, cn the part of one of the two individuals who are married. “‘Look about you. You will find that the happiest married couples are those who have been married only once—the men and women who are living with their first wives and husbands and who have about them their own children instead of some other man's chiidren or some other woman’s children. “'We who are divorced and married live with our second or third husbands because we are ashamed to publicly admit that we have failed s> manv times. But if we had tried as hard to get along with our first husbands or wives as we do with our second or third or fourth ventures we would bs fer happier and better off than we are . *‘So go home and talk things over with your husband like two rational | human beings and try to settle your difficulties’ Put your side of the question up to him, then listen to his grievances.’ e . uso I took my friend’s advice. I went straight to my husband, said that I had been thinking of divoreing him and told him what my friend had said I was surprised at his attitude, for he was willing to meet me half way. “We dissected our marriage relations and decided to try again. We can- vassed our list of friends and decided that the contented ones were those who were living with their first mates. “We determined to learn to like each other's friends and to cultivate a taste for each other’s amusements. My husband learned to swim and dance, because they were the sports I enjoyed, and I learned to play cards, because that was his favorite amusement. “Then I went to work with my husband in his business which filled in my | time and gave me something to think about besides my own grievances and gave us & never-ending topic of interest to discuss. And now when I come home from work at night I understand why my husband wanted to sit by the fire and read the paper of an evening instead of taking me out to a show or dance “These last six years since my husband and I determined to try tu make | a success of our marriage instead of scrapping it have been the best years of our lives and in them we have realized the ideals of our youth. “And that is why I am against easy divorce.
