COMRADESHIP IN MARRIED LIFE.
(Continued from Yesterday)
Her talk about' her friends, her
clothes. her reading and the hundred
trifles of jj'xsip and comment that may

terest. not with that condescending tol
erance that some foolish people, un
conscious of how much they mljjht

• lit when she join* one. r.ltd is n hea
ded to write a paper lie it: pleased to
alk it over and dig up some gems of
Material from the mine of his mascu
ine wisdom, just to help out. They
•riticize »me book she has been read
I ng as she tells hini the story, or per
saps she has read It aloud to liira
ifter dinner, uud though she may think
the hero a demigod and he calls him
i pompous prig and they grow a bit
enthusiastic and finally laugh at each
other's view, their non-agreement
really does not make the least differ
?nce, you know, for this Is just—com
-adeshlp.
With this spirit of comradeship there
s never any thought of settling the
luestion of "who is boss?" for such a
luestlon never arises. When a prob
lem comes up before this home su
preme court, they have a quiet little
j earnest session and If they do not see
I the Issue from the same point of view,
I by concession and compromise the one
j who has thought most deeply on the
subject, who feels it most Intently or
who is most affected by it casts the
j deciding vote.

throws little peculiarities into the
j shadow; it ignores or obscures petty
fallings as of no real consequence; It
concentrates on the fine sterling qual
ities and forgives and forgets the little
mortgages. Love oftimes Is exacting;
In its Intensity it may place undue Im
portance on a trifle and be seriously
disturbed at a flaw or falling that
seems a scar on a noble character.
Comradeship helps love to a more hu
man view, r saner, wiser charity In
Judging. A man says a friend of whom I
he is genuinely fond, "he Is a bully
good fellow." and all the emphasis of
his heart goes Into the words and
atones for the phrasing; he knows his
friend's fallings but loyalty minifies
their Importance, the eyes are |
trained not to see. the lips keep si- j
lence.
In >is bachelor days the husband
may have had some friend tried and
true who was dear to him. whom he J
trusted as one good man does another.
If the golden light of some success or
prosperity threw a glow of radiance
across" his pathway an Involuntary
smile brightened his face as he thought
how pleased his friend would be to
hear It, how unselfish would be his
sympathy, how hearty would be hla
coagratulatl.'"!*i he coulj bank on hja
friend's huTIJu.^s Just as cerruiuiy
nnd absolutely as If his own dear
mothtr were listening to the story and
eager for every word of detail.
If the hand of sorrow pressed heav
ily on his soul, and the night of doubt
and fear settled down on his life, and
the ship of his great hope had sunk
when It was almost In port, and he
fae»d failure and defeat, he knew one
who would be unchanged, whom he
could count on to the very end. And
when some problem affecting the wel
fare of eliher had to be solved It was
the problem of both and they would
stay up half the night to settle It like
a Jury locked out until they came to a
verdict and thej put together their
wisdom Just as they had often pooled
their meager funds when the exigen
cies or need of the one became the
privilege and glad opportunity of the
other.
When this Instinctive impulse to
confidence Is carried into married life
and the heart and the lips and the out
stretched arms turn to the wife as
naturally as the magnetic needle finds
Its north, with the truest comradeship
made greater and finer by love, then
married life has no real problems that
the two, united and in unison, cannot
solve.
Comradeship holds the specter oi
monotony at bay. With two ever
bringing their best sweetly to each oth
er, as a little child carries to Its moth
er a wayside flower It has plucked, Just
because It Is most natural to bring it
to her. there Is little fear that their
days will be long or that they will hun
ger for change from each other when
they are finding this change in each
other and with each other. Whatever
tends to lessen their comradeship and
to decrease their dependence on each
other Is a menace to their happiness.
One of the early temptations of mar
ried life is to live with the old folks.
It all sounds so alluring when It Is
proposed that "they can take the entire
third floor which is not really needed"
by the home company who are willing
to donate it or sublet It to the young
firm. The advantages are obvious, the
disadvantages are more subtle, but It
Is a hazardous experiment.
The opening words of the world's
greatest book are "In the beginning,"
and they are the most Important words
of married life: they open Its chapters
of greatest joy and keenest sorrows.
All its problems are most easily mas
tered "In the beginning;" wrongs and
injustice that may throw the dark
shadow of despair over the life of one
and perhaps even finally separate for
ever the two who have loved may, in
a spirit of calmness, courage and wis
dom, be silenced forever "In the be
ginning." If there have been mis
takes and blind blundering and folly,
if the two determine to start afresh, to
begin all over again and wipe out the
past, letting love, comradeship and
trust be their watchwords they can
have a new—beginning.
And what was true of that first mar
riage In the dim dawn of history, In
that garden of Eden, is true of all mar
riages and will be till time shall end
that their paradise Is committed to the
absolute keeping of the two, and that
they shall watch It and guard It and
care for it and that only by their own
wrong shall this paradise with all Its
Joys, and its peace and Its sunshine
ever pass from them.
