Is Marriage a
Cure for
Love?
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. .
A frightened young person named
"Flower" writes me this letter:
"I once believed I could never fall
in love with any man; now I find
the impossible has happened. But
I am not happy, though I love him
oh, so much. He loves me, too, but
I have a terrible fear of marrying
him, for I have heard from many
people that love gets colder after
you marry and all the ecstacy is
gone.
"I want my boy to love me more
and more after I'm married. I'd
rather be dead than married to him
if he is bound to tire of me. I have
a feeling as if something cruel is
bound to happen if we marry. I am
making my sweetheart and myself
both miserable. But I am afraid so
please help me. I am only eighteen."
Eighteen wants the world to be
clouded in romance and fragrant
with mystery. Twenty-eight knows
that the practical bread and butter
side of existence is fairly pleasant
and very necessary. But when 38
talks about its dead longing and its
buried dreams in a sordid tone, life
begins to seem a cruel and destruc
tive place to poor frightened 18.
Life is change. Everyone who has
begun to live at all can look back
upon days that were different than
those of . today, , upon -dreams that
have gone, upon feelings that have
altered. '
But isn't growth change? Who
.would want to keep, the trees for
ever in blossom in spite of the
beauty and fragrance of the swaying
white boughs? . Who doestv't. want
the fruition , and realization of the
fruit? Who doesn't know that even
in the stark and grim nakedness of
the winter branches ther$ is the
promise of the green bud? !
Why,' then, should any of us long
to have love which is so completely
part of life, exempt from all the
rules of the universe?
Of course, love changes with mar
riage. The uncertainty goes. The
glamor and mystery fade. The wild
thrill cannot go on. But in their
place come the joy of belonging, the
beauty of ambitions shared, the com
pleteness of a rounded existence.
No one would be insane enough
to try to live on meringues and fruit
sauce. No one can live on thrills
and excitement and ardor.
.But two who love perfectly with
understanding and unselfishness and
generosity and the desire to help each
other to fine manhood and woman
hood achieve " something lovelier
than the peaks of ecstacy they have
left. They find a sunny dwelling in
the fields of contentment, and now
and then they have moments of
achieving again the heights on which
they could not breathe if they were
forever to remain there.
Love grows cold if no fuel is fed
its fires. If a wife is slovenly her
husband can't retain his illusion that
she's the sweetest girl in the world,
lan he? If she nags from morning
till night and finds fault with all that
he does he can't believe her a perfect
angel of loveliness, can he?
To keep the fires of love lighted,
unselfish devotion' and fine daintiness
are needed. Many a woman having
made port o' matrimony thinks her
'life'- voyage ended and sits rocking
serenely in fancied security. She for
gets that life is change. She doesn't
try to interest or stimulate or charm
or understand or share the life that
is "going on at her side.
r Does love grow cold with mar-
' riage? Of course, if its fires are not
tended. It dies with laeiness and
fancied security. ' But the beauty of
the effort that's required to keep love
a livine. breathing thing is that the
fight and struggle and chase which
an miman naiuic uvcs (juu -
marriage were too certain too cut
and dried wouldn't it be a boe?
Saving' Room
It is a present day departure in
small houses and small apartments
to build without a dining room. The
.plan wis firtt tried . in-apartments
where it was found .that a limited
space could be used to Better ad
vantage if ft was made into one
good sized living room and a
kitchenette thau if it were cut up into
three small rooms-kitchen, dining
room and living room.
So recently . suburban, dwellers
w ho have been , limited to three
rnnmi on the first floor of their
house have often decided hv favor jof
a living room, a study and a kitchen,
or have turned the entire space out
side the kitchen into one really
spacious room. '
There are advantages to be gained
thereby. . But there are also disadvantages.-
That is, there ars
snares for the unwary. -.-It seems
like a device for the maidless, but
sometimes it is an arrangement that
works out better where there is a
maid than where .there is none. For
it is not always easy to keep the
traces of meals. and meal getting in
the kitchen, save just when the meal
It wanted. Sometimes in the" ma id
lest household it is a distinct ad
vantage to have a room devoted to
meals that may be shut off save at
meal times. '
,The difficulty can be minimized,
however; if you have sufficient shelf
room in the kitchen. Moreover, if
you like you may have a chest of
drawers or -cabinet of some sort in
the study or living room where
meals are served that will serve as
a repository for table linen, silver,
etc, without suggesting its function
as a buffet.
A substantial tea wagon also is an
advantage. It may be brought in
to act as serving table while the
meal is in progress.and then wheeled
out to the kitchen atterward. -
Dash Curtains
Have you ever used two sash cur
tains on the 'full-sized window in
place of thtf longer one? It gives a
very pretty effect and makes the

HOLDING A HUSBAND
Adele Garrison's New Phase of
Revelations of a Wife
Why Madge Carefully Told Lillian
Everything That Had Happened.
There is something in every wom
an, I think, which revels in a dra
matic surprise. I know that I am no
exception to the rule, and I could not
resist the chance vhich Lillian gave
me when she declared that the tele
phone message which had sent me to
the house in Hempstead might, for
all I knew, have come from Grace
Draper. , '
I stooped to my switch key and
turned off the engine of the car. I
knew no better place for a quiet chat
than thfs almost deserted country
road. Indeed, I had no desire to at
tempt driving until the coming ex
planation to Lillian was over.
"As it happens, the message did
come from her," I said quietly, "but
I didn't know it until I reached the
house and found her there."
I have always thought it impossi
ble to startle Lillian but she
changed color and grasped my 'arm
so tightly that I winced. When later
I speculated upon her evident excite
ment I explained it by the fact that
she was off guard with me, while
when dealing with any opponent she
is always keyed uo to hear anything.
"You actually saw Grace Draper?"
she demanded.
"Saw and talked with her for sev
eral minutes," I returned.
"And she let you go unharmed? I
can't believe it. Why, I have just
convinced myself "
She stopped short, and I knew that
I would not hear the rest of the in
advertently begun sentence. Instead,
she settled herself in a corner of the
scat, resting an elbow upon the back
of the seat and her cheek against her
clenched hand.
A Little Question.
"Tell me all about it," she com
manded quietly. -
I waited for a long minute, silently
mrashalling in my memory every
slightest incident of the trip, and the
telephone message leading to it, for I
knew that nj detail was too trivial
for Lillian's attention when she was
surveying a problem. Then I told
her in minute detail everything that
had happened from my summons to
the telephone i to the time when I
drove away from the house, leaving
Grace Draper upon the veranda.
When I had finished she remained
silent, motionless,, for a long minute.
"So that's her "game." she said
meditatively at last. "Well, you've
got to slip it to her! She's there, 40
ways from the jack."
Her tone indicated utter disbelief
in Grace Draper's sincerity."" The
memory of the girl's face and of the
promise I had made her urged me
to a protest. .
"But, Lillian," I said, "she really
seemed repentant and sincere, and I
promised, you know "
i" Yes,-you did that little: thing,"
Lillian .observed dryly, f - - .
T flushed oainfullv at her irony.
Lillian bent to me, placing her hand
tenderly over mine.
"Look here, my dear. Did you
ever find me knowingly unjust to
anvone?"
I flashed a loving look at her.
"You know that I think you're the
most generous being on earth," I
said impulsively. "It isn't -that I
don't trust ymr-judgment, hut you
didn't sec her"
Lillian's Request.
"No, worse luck," Lillian inter
posed, and there. was a vicious little
snap to the words. - ,
"And and I couldn't bear it, if
she were really sincere, and 1 didn't
irppn the cromise I made ! her." I
stammered the last words under
Lillian s searching gaze.
"I'll tell the world." she announced
as I finished, "that you're the
darnedest combination of common
horse sense and infantile credulity
that I ever saw in my life! Or per
haps it's that introspective Puritan
conscience of yours, so afraid you'll
do something not according to the
schedule worked out for you by a
miUion generations or so of stiff
necVed ancestors. But whatever it
is. it makes taking care of you a
man's job."
She paused, patted my hand reas
suringly, th?n went on argumenta
tively: "Look here, Madge. You know or
suspert that your friends have been
keeping close cases on that girl ever
since she was released from prison
and I'd like to go on record as re-

She stopped short again, switch
;rg off at another tangent Again I
had the impression of something
left out something which she did
not wish to tell me as yet.
"I want you to trust me, my dear,"
she said abruptly. "You've kept yoi?
promise to her. You've told me,
everything ' that happened, and
you've made your appeal for her. I
