In many marriages, Chris- tian or otherwise, the fire of pas sion, is often replaced by the ashes of regret, and the years that fol- low, if not of open warfare, are at least like the relations between Germany and Danzig; each tóle. rates the other. by force of cir cumstance. In Kowloon, however, The honeymoon is a stream that evolves with the years into a placid and kindly river, bearing on its course many little troubles. The cases of unhappiness, wife-beating, infidel ity and incompatability of tem perament are so few and far be tween that our local magistrates can claim with truth to know little or nothing of conjugal disputes.
