Let Mr. Lau- rence tell it: ‘There wasn't any miracle about it, The ladder just rose naturally, step after step for his climbing. He hadn't been married @ month, for in- stance, when he had an offer fom a rival stock exchange house at almost double the pay he was getting. The | following year this new employer put him on the floor of the Exchange todo | part of the trading. His wife helped | him save, and when they had a nest) \ene he took advantage of opportunl- | tles that came to him from being on |the spot and did @ little profitable | trading on his own account. “Later, he bought a seat on the | Exchange for himself. His brother, |in the mean time, had married too, |and after a while they joined hands and opened a brokerage house of their own. Both boys were popular, and clients just naturally came to them, Among these were some of the biggest operators of the city, And under this stimulation their business increased by leaps and bounds.

I have heard more than one married man say: ‘If I were single I could afford to take a chance. But with a wife dependent on me, I don't dare,’ The men I know who have risen to prosperity are not those Who in this fashion, ‘let “I dare not” | wait upon “I would.” '* Yet marriage, as It is conventionally managed, means that the husband as- eumes responsibility for the physical support and wellbeing of his wife and the children that may come to them, | How can he take the “all or nothing” gambles with life?)
