But, speaking seriously, it's the awful ‘constancy’ of marriage—the morning, noon and night CONTINUOUSNESS of it—that gets on peoples nerves. There is nothing else on earth 90 unbroken as the monotony of mar- riage, except the monotony of staying in jail.” A Half Holiday for Hearts. $ ORAL AAA ND yet,” sighed the Widow, leaning her chin on her clasped hands “marriage in supposed to be built on love!” “Which is the most inconsistent thing in the world,” rejoined the Bachelor. “Love is like the tide; it comes and goes in waves—even in the most violent cases. You can no more expect, it to remain at high tide all the time than you can expect the ocean to remain at high tide every minute. Like the moon, if it isn't waxing it's waning”—— “And the average man’s emotion,” rejoined the Widow, hastily, “is a perfect MARCEL wave! But you're quite right, Mr. Weatherby. One doesa’t expect anybody to be hungry or thirsty or inspired every minute, yet when people fall in love they expect to keep one another's emotions constantly at high pressure. Why, even a sixty horse-power motor car has to stop for gasoline or repairs once in a while; but the human heart is expected to go right on running at top speed from the wedding day until the grave. Yet, according to all the laws of nature, a girl has no more reason to expect a man to be crazy to sce her again half an hour after he has left her than she has to expect him to be hungry again half an hour after dinner.” “But they all do!” sighed the Bachelor, reminiscently. J “I beg your pardon, Mr. Weatherby.” “It'e always the morning ufter you have spent the evening with her,” explained the Bachelor quickly, “that you find a violet scented note lying at your breakfast plate, or receive a telephone call, or a special delive © or—or Full Meals and Sandwiches. something that make you feel”—— %, eee ry UST as though somebody were offering you @ sandwich after a full meal!” finished the Widow, sympathetically. “It's a pity that, after two peuple have seen enough of one another for the time being, they always fancy they want to see more of one another—instead of waiting until! the love-tide has gone out and come in again. Why do engaged people alwaya imagine that they've got to be together and desperately in love every day in the week? It’s an awful strain and wear and tear on a grande passion, whereas they might go on loving one another INTERMITTENTLY forever. And, if husbands and wives weren't forced to love one another every minute —at breakfast, luncheon, dinner and between meals—if they met only when they WANTED to mect”—— “Say once in five or ten years,” murmured the Bachelor. “Or once in five or ten days, or in five or ten hours,” acquiesced the Widow, “according to the strength and recuperative power of their love, there would be no such thin, 8 ‘divorces’ and ‘affinities’ and—and all the otifer antidotes with which we try to,relieve the strain. The only way to keep love at high tide is—to wait for the tide!” The Bachelor regarded the Widow's delicate profile through a cloud of smoke and half-closed eyes. “And to think,” he sighed, ‘that I saw you no longer ago than luncheon!” “Well?” The Widow toyed with her tea-cup. “And the tide is still high,” declared the Bachelor, softly. “Luncheon,” murmured the Widow, reproachfully, “was two whole hours ago—mon ami. And WE are neither engaged nor married.” “Not—yet,” agreed the Bachelor, between a shiver and a sigh. —.
