Is there any more efficacious Protection against our modern mon- sters of doubt and despair than the comfort in nearness a man and wo- man find before their own hearth flame? Nevertheless, being married is an acquired characteristic. It would be different—or it seems as if it would be different—if in 1919 Mr, and Mrs. Just-United had only to pick their cave and curl up there for the rest of their lives, On the contrary, the marriage of this pair bes as many “modern improvements” as the latust thing In duplex flats or motor cars. It ts these improvements, these labor-saving devices, which are actually difficulties until a young hus- band and his wife have learned how to-bandle them. In marriage the first hill of dim- culty—to revert once more to the metaphor of the road—is housekeep- ing. For a young woman who never has done It before, managing a hous, even if the “house” really is a four- room flat or @ tiny suburban bunge-~ low, is not an easy job. True, she has electric lights, running water, hardwood floors and an electric flat- fron, to lighten and simplify her physical labors, But to keep even a small home successfully means that you must have your own infallible memory system for the most irrel- evant details Your home must be like the magic bag of Mrs. Swiss Family Robinson. At any given mo- ment you must be able to produce any asked for object—from a lettuce sandwich to @ piece of gas tubing.
