THE MARRIAGE QUESTION.<br />
ALICE WINSTON.<br />
Of all the questions that perplex<br />
the public to-day there Is none of<br />
such vital importance as that of marriage.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is a desire In all for<br />
happiness and a belief that in marriage<br />
we may expect it. In that state<br />
we look for a devotion which never<br />
changes, a trust which never fails<br />
and the satisfying companionship of<br />
kindred souls.<br />
"O human love, thou spirit given<br />
On earth of all we hope in Heaven."<br />
Yet the newspapers ring with tirades<br />
from married people to the effect that<br />
marriage is a failure, and with replies<br />
from old maids that it is a success.<br />
As it is an institution which cannot<br />
be abolished—for it Is ordained of<br />
God—it would be well to see where<br />
the fault lies, if It be not with the<br />
people who enter Into it rashly or<br />
from wrong motives rather than with<br />
the state itself. <strong>The</strong> deep interest<br />
taken in the question calls for a health<br />
commission to find out the causes of<br />
the evil. As there is no poison without<br />
its antidote, we may hope a<br />
remedy will be found before the subject<br />
is shelved.<br />
That it fails to give changeless and<br />
unalloyed happiness even to those who<br />
have a solid foundation of pure and"<br />
unselfish love and thorough esteem<br />
cannot be denied. <strong>The</strong> monopoly of<br />
bliss will be broken by little jars and<br />
disappointments which do not materially<br />
cloud the sunshine of a true<br />
marriage.<br />
But it must be something more than<br />
little jars and disappointments which<br />
cause so many people to declare marriage<br />
is a failure. Let us see who<br />
constitutes the majority of the unhappy<br />
ones and why they say it is a<br />
failure.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are the mercenary marriages.<br />
"All for money" is their motto. If<br />
they get It they have what they wanted<br />
and ought to be silent. Love,<br />
honor, good temper and Intelligence<br />
were not mentioned in the bond.<br />
<strong>The</strong>ir case can be dismissed without<br />
further hearing.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is the romantic marriage.<br />
"All for love and the world well lost"<br />
when the solemn vows are not taken<br />
"soberly and advisedly" but with as<br />
little thought as if it were an engagement<br />
to dance the german. A man<br />
meets a pretty, smiling girl at a summer<br />
resort. He has a nice moustache<br />
and a good figure and makes love<br />
charmingly. <strong>The</strong>y become engaged<br />
and marry, each thinking the other<br />
perfection. Alas! the belief in perfection<br />
only exists in the unmarried.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y are Ignorant of each other's<br />
tastes, habits and dispositions.. When<br />
the disillusion and rebound comes it<br />
is apt to shipwreck their lives, unless<br />
there is great good sense on one side<br />
or the other and great forbearance.<br />
Five cases out of ten the man finds<br />
he has for a life companion an 111-<br />
