TWO THINGS THAT PREVENT
MATRIMONIAL WRECKS
In the July American Magazine a man
who has had twenty-five years matri
monial experience says that, he and hi?
wife,j,wcre-growing -farther apart, ami
constantly, quarreling. The family
would have been wrecked had it nt t
been for two things which he describes
as follows: ,;. ,.
-Ftrst was the baby, a healthy, chain
ing child to whom we were intensely de
voted, for months the baby was about
the1 only, subject we could agree upon;
the other safeguard was our sense of
humor. I have since thought that ao
two persons should marry unless one or
the other has a sense of humor., With i s
the sense of -humor usually came to the
rescue at .the most trying times, . Otke
or the other of us would be struck with
the ludicrous feature of our quarrel a ad
laugh, and pretty soon we made up.!' ."
