Fables for the Fair NERVE AND MATRIMONY By Marguerite Mooers Marshall Moral: And Youths and Maids Rush In Where Cynics Fear to Tread. J @opyright, 1022 (New York Evening World) by Press Publishing Company. 66 O marry to-day," says o Western clergyman, “Takes NERVE. “It takes a man of nerve “And a woman who is brave “To face the mar- riage cere- mony.” And I don’t know what you think about it, But, in my opin- jon, the rever- end gentleman Said a hymn- bookful. Taking a partner about whom you know next to nothing, For a business you've never tried be- fore, With, probably—small capital at your command, And future withdrawal from the firm @ difficult, expensive and often ut- terly impossible matter— That's getting married! Who says it doesn't take more nerve than speculating in Wall Street, stunt flying, or any other “‘hazard- ous occupation’? Romeo of 1922 adores Juliet, model But does he know whether she can— and will—get up and cook break- fast, : Or whether she prefers to have it served in bed? Does he know If she believes in making a husband useful about the For an hour or and all day Sunday? If she is onions? If she approves of midnight lunches? If she objects to his smoking in any part of the house or apartment? If she considers that she has a right to open his mail? If she can weep with fatal facility? If, in the privacy of home, she wears dirty white shoes run down at the heel? He doesn’t know a single answer to any one of these home-shattering questions, He takes a chance on the answers being what he He takes an AW “a man of nerve''! As for little Juliet, Does she know, cun she even imagine, how Romeo looks when he's using a sufety razor— Or when he OUGHT to use one, and it's a rainy Sunday, and he's too lazy? Does she know What the sun will go out of his life, if she serves him lamb stew or tapioca pudding? What he is usually unable to answer a simple question put by his wife on any subject, Without registering surly scorn? That a sick bear is patient and sweet- tempered, compared to him, (When he has a toothache or @ cold in the head? , Is she aware of his deliberately un- combated tendency to overweight? ‘Of his obsession that, if it weren't for him, the office in which he works would go out of business in twen- ty-four hours?

Of the number of things—and same house two every evening, willing to serve boiled ants, 1L chance--he’s GOING DOWN EAR FRIEND— The older you grow, provided you ADVANCE, the more you discover that in this world things do NOT just happen. Everything moves by an immutable law, whioh, when you discover it, you may use time and again. For instance, here is a simple ex- ample: A bank does not judge you by the amount of money you have, but by the way you handle what you have. For instance, a millionaire’s son might have a million in his own name, yet his squandering that million would not place him in a position to obtain credit at a bank. The possession of money is a stewardship. “To him that hath ehall be given and he shall have abun- dano Here, again, is the law at work. Take your job and try to work out the law of ADVANCEMENT.

Poor, dear little Juliet has a Lot to Learn, on all these subjects, Meanwhile, brave young woman, she goes ahead and gets married— She, too, has nerve! Then, there's the economic angle of matrimony— It must not be printed ‘economical’ — There's nothing the least bit ‘‘econ- ical'’ about running a home to-day for two people—PLUS! Nothing ut sheer, unadulterated, chilled-steel courage— Nerve, tn short— Could inspire Romeo and Jullet de- liberately to face the guns Of the coal man, the ice man, the landlord, the servant in the home, The butcher, the baker, the gas and electric lighting companies— All the bandits of business, who cry, “Hold and deliver!’ to our impo- cunious young married couples, Who demand, “Your money—and you can have your life, all of it, to earn more money for u! Even the coolest, most daring, most optimistic American Begins no other business on so slim a tinancial foundation, As he takes to be adequate for the business of matrimony— That's where he shows his hundred per cent nerve!
