The Love That Lasts
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
' "Why do so many marriages go on
the rocks?" said my friend, the doc
tor. And then he answered his own
question very wisely. "Because they
are not based on anything more last
ing than love; and love is generally
a beautiful dream."
Everybody knows that a sunset is
beautiful but nobody expects it to
last forever. We all gasp at the ex
quisite beauty of a rainbow but we
know it will fade. So as I listened
to the doctor I thought of the transi
tory nature of most beauty and ad
justed iryielf to his viewpoint ,
"Love ia- for most- people of cob
web "illusion." It is a desperate at
traction formed of a desire for kisses
and caresses and thrills. But no sub-

stantlal dinner erer was made of des
sert alone. And no real love consists
of an emotional froth. Marriages go
to smash all about us and all the
time, and when they do everybody ex
claims, "but that started out as a
love match I"
"Well, of course it did," went on
the doctor, smiling tolerantly. "But
it didn't start as anything else. A
marriage that lasts has to be 'based
on congenialty. And that' the only
kind of marriage that ever will last.
I remember a line I had read some
where which went like this: "I some
time think true friendship consists
more in liking the same things than
in liking each other."
Well, true love has to consist in
liking each other and respecting each
other, too.
It must build on a basis of enjoying
many things in common and accepting
and tolerating the points of difference.
A husband and wife may have the
jolliest time in the world playing golf
together of a Saturday and yet differ
entirely in their tastes in music.
If she likes grand opera and he pre
fers' burlesque shows, and they are
sane enough to smile at each other
and permit each other to gratify their
widely divergent tastes, they can get
a tremendous lot of fun out of their
mutual toleration and appreciation of
their points of difference.
Good chums and comrades have a
wonderful time in sharing certain
amusements and in listening to.an ac
count of those they cannot share or
in just smiling serenely and accept
ing the fact that a wise providence has
varied the human species infinitely.
No one has a right to demand that
everybody else conform to his own
standards. Emotion might be ex
travagant enough to do that. Sane
love based on a friendly understanding
and a quiet mutuality of respect won't
do that.
Yielding to a physical attraction or
an emotional stimulation and imagin
ing that either one constitutes real
love, is just about the same as .it
would be to imagine that you can
spend all your life driving forty miles
an hour in an automobile because you
like the exhilaration of occasional
speeding!
Physical attraction and emotional
stimulation fit in beautifully in a love
affair where there is liking and ad
miration, too. But they are fairly cer
tain to wear out after a while, and
the thing that last is the basic com
radeship which made it a safe and sane
thing for two people to unite their
lives.

FRY SHOE CO.
I get a great many pathetic letters
frorn old women complaining bitterly
that their children neglect them, and
that they are unwelcome inmates in
their sons' or daughters' homes.
, Certainly nothing could be more
tragical than the fate of the mother
who sees the children that she has
borne in agony, for 'whom she has
toiled and sacrificed and slaved, turn
from her without even an impulse of
gratitude, and fail her when she
needs their love and cherishing in her
helpless age even as they needed her
love and cherishing in their helpless
infancy.
Nor is there any spectacle so re
voltingly hideous as that of prosper
ous as that of prosperous men and
women who repay a mother's devo
tion with thanklessness, who be
grudge a few. dollars to her who has
given her heart's blood to them, who
ruthlessly kick down the patient, bent
shoulders on which they have climed
to a higher social position, and who
have no room in their full lives for
the one who bestowed life upon them.
The old mother whom nobody
wants is a very common figure, and
one whom we may all pity, yet she
has brought her troubles upon her
self, and her case is worth consider
ing by every other mother lest the
same thing befall her. -
In the first place, every woman's
children treat her just as she teaches
them to treat her. This sounds like
a cruel and brutal thing to say, but
it is true. Every mother in the world
writes her own price tag, and her
children take her at her own valua
tion. If a woman makes a doormat of
herself her children will use her as a
doormat and walk -over her without
one thought of compunction. They
will think that that is what she is
there for. But if she makes of her
self a fine and precious vessel they
will admire and revere her as they
would any other valuable possession,
and handle her delicately and ten
derly. The mother who permits her 3-year-old
baby boy to speak to her
impudently is deliberately raising up
a son who will swear at her when tie
is grown. The mother who slaves
and drudges around the house while
her children loll about in idleness is,
going to have to take in boarders to
support them when they grow up into
loaefrs. ...
The mother who goes ragged and
shabby that her children may have
silly finery, who never exacts any
service from them, who lets them de
ride her opinion, is bringing up sons
and daughters who will despise her
and have contempt for her and neg
lect her when they start foth on their
own careers. :
She is bringing the curse down on
her own head and she deserves what
she gets, because she had her children
when their mind and characters were
plastic, and she might have instilled
into them respect for her and chivalry
toward her and a sense of their duty
to the mother who bore them.
There are other mothers who are
shrined like saints in the hearts of
their children, mothers to whom their
children can never show enough ten
derness and affection. It's all a mat
ter of teaching, of adopting the right
attitude toward one's children. It
lies with every woman, when her
children are babies, to decide how
I they shall treat her when they are
grown up.
It is the mother's own fault if
her children neglect her. It is also
the mother's own fault, to a large
degree, if she is an unwelcome in
stead of a cherished guest in her
children's household.
There is many an old woman
who is a good woman and a mother
who has made heroic sacrifices
for her children but who is so dis
agreeable to live with that it
would take more than mortal pa
tience to stand her.
There is the meddling old wo
man, for instance, who can never
go into any household without dis
arranging its whole machinery and
trying to run it her way.
If she goes to her son's house
she criticises the way daughter-in-law
uses her best china every day,
the way the children are being
brought up, the size of the bills.
the number ot card parties
daughter-in-law goes to, the price
of her dresses.
If she goes to her daughter's
house she nags her son-in-law to .
death because he drinks beer, and ,
smokes, and belongs to a club, and
plays golf on Sunday. In any house
she enters peace packs up its dress
suit case and flees for parts un
known. And there is the querulous and
complaining old lady who is a liv
ing edition of the Lamentations
of Jeremiah, who is always weeping
and mourning and complaining all
over the place, and is so sensitive
and has her feeling spread around
her so far that you have to walk on
eggs to keep from hurting her.
And there's the argumentative old
woman who can never let any sub
ject pass without disagreeing with
everybody on earth, and the tyran
nical old woman who wants to force
everybody to do her way and think
her thoughts, and the narrow and
provincial old lady who is certain that
the way she did in some obscure vil
lage fifty years ago is the way life
ought to be run in the city today. And
there are also fifty other varieties
of disagreeable and cantankerous old
ladies who are home wreckers.
Generally speaking, whenever an
old woman is not a welcome guest
under any roof it is her own faut,
for all of us know, plenty of sweet,
wise, gentle forebearing, broad
minded old ladies whose children
worship them, whose in-laws adore
them, and whom we all welcome
with open arms.
The moral of all of which Is that
we are mighty apt to get what is
coming to -us, and that it behnnvra
every woman in her youth to begin
to make herself the sort of a wo
man that everybody will want
around them when she is old.
