Shall f stay Gione all my life, or make love ac cording to conventional customs? “a Lap OME JOHN. A--You, Lonesome John, are, swith some others, crying out against the marriage Inw. It is Ike @ per. gon who berates the world when he imself is out of harmony. I do ‘pot believe there will come a time when we will have a more beautiful qarriage ceremony. The trouble ts got with the law, bat with the peo- ple who disregard the most sacred fav in creation, the people simply use it as a means to a seb fish end, and with the people who enter the marriage relation care lessly. When two people live up to thelr promises set forth In that law they do not take the stand fo the divorce courts. When a man eats his wife Instead of “cherish ing” her, or denies her the affee tion Implied in that word “cherish: ed”; when a woman who has prom feed to honor her husband, dis honors him, how can a harmonious Rome result? The people are dis satisfied, ‘and, as is human, seck something to blame thelr dissatis faction on. Our forefathers gave the best In them toward conven- tions, and while they may be car tied too far, one can never go very far wrong in following them. The main thing is to know ourselves, to know where our own strength oF ‘weakness ties, and then we can bet- ter judge how another's character will ft in. If you want to marry Decause you are lonesome and want ® mother for your children, don’t tell a woman you love her and al ways will love her, aud so on. Be honest with her. Tell her she seems to suit you, and you think she will make a good mother. She will at east respect you for your honesty if days eome when you don’t agree. Personally, Ihave much more faith In’ com radeship marriage, from which often the deepest kind of grows, than in all the wishy-washy- cloud-foating ones that ever took place. CYNTHIA SAID SO. Dear Mise Grey—~I have read your column for some time and I've ab ‘Ways stood up for you, but | don't see how I can after this, Time and again you have sald that in this Sdvanced era difference in age ts counted by disposition and charac- ter rather than by years. Now, when I write you and ask your ad Vice about marrying a woman 16 years older than myself, you tell me it would he utter folly. The poor Woman's heart is broken, and I am uphappy all through your saying first one thing and then another. TWENTY.ON A—Usually it relieves such na tures as yours to “blow off,” so I hope you are comvalescing by this time. In the heat of your im petuous youth you have done what $0 many others more experienced have been guilty of. In quoting my remarks on this subject you have told the truth, but not the whole truth. Throw enough ‘rubbish out of your mental garret to see if you don't remember a little phrase tack ed onto Cynthia's assertion, 1 will refresh your memory. Here {t ts “Up to a certain limit.” Only com mon sense, which you will acquire with years, can determine this limit for you. As for this woman of 36 breaking her heart over you, it but proves “the utter folly of it.” It she !s fool enongh to do such # thing she is too young to marry; if you are fool enough to believe it, you are too young—so there you are Two such infants have not the proper stamina to furnish even one ¢itizen to our future race.
