THE BIGATH YEAR,
WARNING FROM THE DIVORCE
COMMISSION,
There have been many revelations of the gress and strain of married life in the evidence gow being given before the Divorce Commit: alon, much of which has been published in these columns. In spite of the cold, judicial Way in which the machinery of divorce is being inspected, and the careful omission of any relequace to love or-human passion, and the neglect, as yet, in calling witnesses who have studied the causes of this increasing demand for quick and cheap divorce-1-mean noveliste and playwrights and journalists who are heart specialists"—a vole of human nature has crept into the evidence now and again, and the casual remark of a witness who has made's business of divorca hax occasionally been like a flash of lightning in the miserable darkness of unhappy marriages:
"One of the remarks was startling, though it passed almost unnoticed. In a calm, cold and emphatic way a distinguished witness said that In his long experience he had noticed that the eighth year was the fatal year between has band and wife. They might have got on very eighth year, was the test of fidelity and moral strongthi

is the Seventh Yeat. It is very near the Eighth Year! The husband and wife know each other, as far as human being may know another. They have no illusions. They know each other's wenkoess and strengib, and generally the weakness of the one" ie the strength of the other They know that certain subjects of conversation lead to direct and somethings vinient, differences of opinion. They know that certain cherished convictions of the one lead to scorn and ridicule from the other. They possess each other's se crets. Each holds some memory of which the other is ashamed, and in case of aged up; nod ay "Have you forgotten tha!? The children are growing big. They no long or require all the mother's time.

What is sometimes called blind faith is not faith at all. There must be reason and fact to form a foundation for trust. In regard to medicine or remedy, for example, people ask Has it cured others? Have cases like mino bean, relieved by it? Is it in harmony with the truths of modern science, and has it a record above suspicion ? If so, it is worthy of confidence; and if I am over attacked by any of the maladies for which it is commended 1 shall reson to it in full belief in its, power to help me. On these linas as AS ges

TRUTH OR SUPERSTITION?
Now here is a fact, if it is a fact, which should surely, be published on every house-top in- stead of being hidden, as is may bs, in the pages of a Royal Commissiga Blue-Book. For if it is one of the laws of life, of supreme im porlance" in the sum of human happinais "or uohappiness, it should be known to all those who are about to cuter into the state of matri- mony, or have been anything up to seven years in that condition.

Is there any real truth in this dread of the eighth year, or it is a superstition? The answer comes quickly to say student of human nature as to be found la the modern villas of civilised life. The Eighth Year is a fatal fact which bas to be faced by all who clasp handa and go with Joy in their hearts to the wedding, It is in the Eighth Year that the pall comes,
See how the you go between the first year and the eighth.

It is the First Year. A man and a woman 6nd themselves alone together, and they are
like two Babes with the world for their Wond, It is an in which they go a-wandering. enchanted wood, and birds always singing' to them-the-tova-birds and the hopa-birds and the golden birds of Paradise. Never mind whether they live in a mean street or a manitos, never mind whether they faraish their bouse on the hita, system, or from Hampton's, or whether they have £3,000 a year or 451. a wook, they find life a pleasant game, full of surprise, and with immense pro- mises lurking round every street corner. Rose- tinted dreams come to them in, waiting hours, They come through the office window to the. bloiling pad of the desk where the City clark is totting up figures (so that he gets his sums wtong). They come through the scullery win- dow of the littlo suburban house where the young wife is washing up the plates-so that she drops one and breaks it. The husband and wife know each other only in a dream, for not af yet--except in some ugly inexplicable mo ments after their first quarrals—have they faced the realities of life or their real solves." ~
It is the Second Year. They are beginning to find out. This man and woman who mar. ried as strangers have become somewhat fami- llar with each other, though still ignorant of many secret things. By a series of shocks, be- ginning quite gently, but gradually increasing in force until they become cataclysmic, it has been revealed to the man that the woman he took as his wife is utterly bolika the 'dreams woman with whom he stood at the altar, and to the woman that the man whom she clothed in the bright armour of heroes haş many unheroic qualities. Both of them bave a tendency to be quarrelsome at the breakfast table, and their words are sharper than the kalves-which-aru going a little blast. The most ridiculous little things strain their tempors to the breaking point. The woman is occasionally bysterical, the man brutal, and they are borribly ashamed of themselves in social.

THE AGREEMENT TO DIFFËR.
It is the Eighth Year. It is the fatal year for husband and wife. The wifa' has still more time to think. The basband is, away from home more often and comes back later at night, The husband sod wile do not ofien quarrel with each other now and when they do it it in a cold way, without passion.

luno are feeling a little lonely, and liness of heart is very dangerous in married life. It is very dangerous for instance it somewhere within the little circle of these people's lives there is a man, or woman, also lonely, who desires sympathy, and if ready to give it." It is very dangerous: again, if the woman who has been left alone, thinking to long, suddenly revolts and goes a little mad for a week or two, clamouring for the dreams that are all faded now and stretching out her arms for other dreams.
It is the Eighth Year, the fatal year which has been marked down for fanther investigation by the Royal Commission on Divorce.
