Armstrong Says Marriage Is a Matter of Character and Can't Rise Higher Than Its Source. It's the Poor Couple Who Have to Strive and Plan That Develop Character, and Not the Rich, Who Have No Incentive. By Marguerite Mooers Marshall. “Marriage (a the great game in the world, dut it’s no game for quitters and weaklinga. “Anybody can quit marrage, ond most of ua are tempted to do so—but it’s the people who stay with it who succeed. farriage stands or falls not as Qn institution, but according to each pair who make tt. Marriage is no stronger than its weaker link,” That's how Harold H.

The right wing of this party, of course, consists of the conserva- tive persons who still take marriage as a divine institution. But the left wing of tts defenders simply takes it In the sporting spirit, To their ranks belongs this Detroit lawyer, who recently astonished the critics and the public by writing two clever and successful novels, and who ts now living with his charming wife and small daughter at No. 17 West Ninth Street. 1 asked Mr. Armstrong to tale about marriage because of the in- teresting point of view he dis- plays tn his latest novel, ‘For Richer, For Poorer." It might he subtitled, “How to be Happ: Though Married—and POOR. One of the Ideas underlying the book fs that It isn’t the rich young couples, with everything to make them happy, who are most successful in managing matri- mony; {t's us poor but honest and reasonably intelligent husbands and wives, “This is exceedingly consoling reading, from our standpoint,” I told tall, blue-eyed, gentle Mr, Armstrong. “But what is your explanation of the phenomenon? Way do you think poor people, by and large, are more likely to suc- ceed In marriage “Because marriage, at bottom, seems to me a matter of char- acter," Mr. Armstrong replied, in his deprecatory but quietly earn- est fashion, “It can’t rise any higher than its source—the two people who are making {t. To succeed In marriage, @ man and woman need the earnestness, the intelligence, the ambition and the courage which they need If they are to make a success at any other job—teaching. or printing, or doctoring, or manufacturing, or office work. And rich people, unless they have made their money themselves, are not Ukely to be as well endowed with char- acter as poor people. “Tt isn't altogether the fault of the second and third generation rich, although !t is certainly thelr misfortune. From childhood they have been kept in cotton wool. They haven't had any chance to develop the qualities which would enable them either to make a lv ing successfully, or to make mar- riage a success,” I reminded Mr. Armstrong of the patr in fiction who so per- fectly {lustrate his contention; the gilded lovers in Edith Whar- ton’s “Tho Glimpses of the Moon.”" “My own plebelan reaction to that book,” 1 sald, “was an tm- patient contempt for two young people to whom it never seems to have occurred that the first duty in life is-getting und keeping a PANTOMIME job, And I do think you're right in feeling that that sort of quitter is likely to be a matrimonial quit- ter. too.” “And marriage is no game for quitters ond weaklings.” he turned. at's another reason why one is safer in assuming some measure of success fo the marriages of the poor. When a poor and Intelligent boy and girl mar: t must have cor Otherwise they'd stay single. “Of course, there are disadvan. tages to marriage as the poor live it, 1 think the greatest is the nerve strain to which disagree able and sometimes sordid cir cumstances subject both husband and wife, Having to I've torether all the time In two or thr-e rooms, where personal disorderliness or the inabliity to make good coffe may seem to dwarf every other aspect of the uaton—that sort of thing made people Invent the ad- age that when poverty comes in at the door, love files out of the window.” “And how," I asked, “can a husband and wife keep their tem- pers and their love for each ot in spite of such surface exaspe tions “The only way I] now is to get the right perspective on them," replied Mr, Armstrong; “to see that they are superficial. Other- wise you'll be saying the most awful things to each other—things which an hour later you cannot conceive that you everuttered.
