Text: “When he hath fried me, I shall come forth as gold."—Job, xxiii.10. We think of adversity as a discipline and it does serve that end in human life. But frequently we see adversity visited upon a good man who do not appear to be in need of such dis cipline.

In | forters and false accusers, there was a good deal of boasting. There is such a thing as being vain in one’s right- eousness. Job was very properly proud of his standing as a righteous man, but evidently mixed with that proper pride was more or less vanity. In the course of the dialogue between him and his three friends, we read: “So these three men ceased to answer Job, be- cause he was righteous in his own eyes.” But later we hear Job saying. “Wherefore I abhor myself. and repent in dust and es.” Besides his pride of in ity, there was also a certain pride of wisdom manifested in his con- tentions with these three men, con- cerning which he later says: “I uttered that I understood not; things too derful for me, which I know nof other respects Job was bettered by ad- versity, as his later life shows.

EAR MISS DIX—Tt has been generally claimed that two persons of opposite sex cannot become intimate friends unless they possess something “in com- mon.” T consider this to mean something that causes them to harmonize spirit- ually, but my experience seems to be diametrically opposite. For more than 10 years I have been keeping company with a girl. We are both 20. We get aIlnnl! am ms to me that we do not possess anything in common. She has never even attended high school. Since she is un- —literature, drama, soclology or current events. She is a strict Catholic. I am | 1 enjoy sports. She does not. She is very fond of dancing. I am not. T have hobbles such as chess, stamps and autographs. She has never men- tioned one to me. We do not discuss anything when we are together. Don't talk much. Neither of us is good-looking in face or body, yet I like her and she likes me. We are not yet in love. Would marriage be advisable under these circumstances if we did fall in love with each other? We have nothing in common, but there is that draws us closer and AL. agreeably, but it seel a junior in college. closer. Answer—Tt Is because 50 many men &nd women marry because of a fleeting allure they had for each other that you see so many middle-aged couples who bore each other to tears the husbands and wives who are reading the program rising the menu at a restaurant while they wait for their food, with never a to say to each other. between the acts, or memo- word Think of the homes you go into in which a husband and wife are simng‘ in a dull, cold silence. Watch how they brighten up, how animated and Jolly and interested and talkative they become as soon as any casual caller drops in Think of all the quarrelsome couples you know where neither husband nor wife can say a word without starting a row. Think of the husbands you know Who always knock everything their wives want to do. Think of the wives who always wet-blanket all their husbands' plans. Think of that sardonic old minstrel joke about the man who, when asked | If he was going to take his wife along with him when he went to Paris, replied: | “No I am going on & pleasure trip. i And the reason for all of this is that these husbands and wives are bored: they have nothing to say to each other because they have nothing in common. | You never run out of conversation with those who are interested in the same things that you are. You can sit up half the night discussing a new book or play with some one who has read it or seen it and who has ideas and opinions con- cerning it. Golfers can hold post-mortems for hours over a game. Any two But what are you to othing that you know, who never reads, who has no in- to whom you can talk about nothing but the weather? say to one who knows n terest in your interests, Married life has—or at least it should have—thousands of evenings when a | husband and wife sit by their hearthstone dependent upon each other for society. | These evenings will be very dull if your wife is illiterate and if you cannot di: | cuss with her the new book, the new play, the latest news. Or they will be very | fascinating and thrilling hours if you have a wife who is intelligent and sympa- | thetic, with whom you can talk over all the topics that interest you, and who will | add a zest to the discussion by bringing to it her point of view. It seems to me that a man makes a fatal mistake when he marries a woman with whom he has intellectually nothing in common. DOROTHY DIX. DEAR DOROTHY DIX—I am a widower 60 years old. I have only one daugh- ter, who has been married for a number of years and who lives in a different Finding life too lonesome, I have decided tb marry and have picked out a girl of 18 for my wife. My daughter objects and wants me to come and live with her, but I will not do so. My daughter also thinks that I should help pay the schooling of her girls, but I refuse to do this because I do not approve of educating girls and consider it a waste of money, because with marriage the benefits of education cease. My daughter predicts a dark future if I marry this | locality. A THREE-SCORE BRIDEGROOM. Answer—I think you are perfectly right to refuse to go to live with your daughter, because you would be miserable in a strange place away from your old home, your old friends and associations. T also think you are quite right in getting married and establishing your own home. But you will make a terrible mistake that will bring you utter wretched- ness if you marry a girl of 18. Pick out a nice suitable woman about your own age, somewhere in the 40s or the 50s, and you stand every chance of happiness, but no {:mphecy that even a pessimistic daughter could utter will be bad enough to fortell what will happen to you if you marry this chit of a girl young enough to be your granddaughter. Put your vanity aside, man, and face the truth that no girl of 18 marries a man of 60 for anything but his money. Do you deceive yourself by thinking that she will want to sit at home with you and hear you reminisce about the past, or talk about your rheumatism? Far from it. She will want to be out playing with the girls and boys. Do you think she will be economical and saving? Not a bl:lof it. She will want to have the fun of spending the money she sold her- i self for. And don’t you know that you won't have an idea or a thought in common? You belong to one generation. She belongs to another generation. You will think | every one of her ideas shocking; she will think every one of yours moss-grown. and you will quarrel from morning until night. * So be warned in time. Don't marry her, Marry some nice, comfortable widow or old maid who belongs to your own time, who has the same opinjons that you have, who will be interested in your talk of other days, and who will be glad to make you a good home. But where did you get the idea that it doesn’t pay to send girls to'school, and that a married woman has no need of an education? The benefits of an education end only with life itself, because they make the individual wiser, broader, more tolerant. And surely no woman needs to know so much as the woman who must manage a home and rear little children, the molding of whose character is in her hands. DOROTHY DIX. . . . DSAE DOROTHY DIX—I have a good, kind neighbor who is about to drive everybody in his vicinity crazy. He has a radio, and because he enjoys it very much himself he has had a loud speaker put on it. He keeps it on the porch, where it bellows and shrieks for hours at a time, so that there is neither peace nor quiet to be had in our vicinity. How can we abate this nuisance? DISTRACTED NEIGHBOR. Answer—Perhaps if you would write the man a nice note, or if the neighbors would get up a round robin explaining their sufferings, your radio fan might be made to understand that everybody does not share his enthusiasm. Otherwise you will have to call in the police. But that is the terrible thing about radio. | Those who have the bug never seem to realize that they bore others to tears | by making them listen to long programs in which they have not the slightest interest.
