They are not profl gates. On the contrary, they are fine, upright, conscientious people with 2 high sense of duty. When they were married they were so much in love with each other that they thought life would be cinders, ashes and dust if they could not spend it together. Hm they are after three, five, ten years of marriage finding life to- ther almost intolerable. Utterly disillusioned. Their dream torn to . And instead of the companionship they looked forward to, each on the other's nerves so that they quarrel over everything and have learned to keep silence to keep from starting something. Their marriage is a failure. It brings neither one any happiness, neither one has consciously wronged the other. They are both faith- , loyal, trying to do their duty and both miserably wondering what has , what hes killed their love, how they got that way. Pm the answer to their bewildered question is that they expected too much of themselves, too much of each other, too much of mar- riage. They expected to live on thrills and in a perpetual fa tale, and because that could not happen they feel that is a fajlure. It hasn't come up to what it was press-agented to be and they feel like the little boy who wlnfe';i to go out of the circus and look at the posters again. They were so much more alluring than the real show.
