TRIAL ARIES FOR LOVERS.

A PLAN OF PREVENTION' THAT WOULD DE`

The plan of trial marriages, put forward so ardantly, by its advocaini [but a few months since, is already yielding the unhappy fruitage that was to bave been expected.

To pra» vent, this tragedy would be an inestimable benefit to society. & "trial marrings" which 'praves unhappy holds in it all of the disap -pojatment, the bitter grief and a little more than the usual portion of shame consequent upon marriage contracts entered into with the idea of permanence. Therefore, it is plain that they offer no comedy,

What men and women contemplating mar- riage most need to know is whether their tem peraments, habits and characters are such they can live together harmoniously, or whether their mutual affection is sufficiently strong to bring them into harmony. This is often put to the test when chance throws lovers together under one rool for a considerable period.. For the matrimonial bark is oftenest wrecked on little snags, such as untidiness, slothfulness, a habit of making patty' exactions, unpleasant tabla habits, proueness to irritable speeches, selfishness, lack of consideration for others, outbursts of temper, impatience when suffering some slight indisposition.. Men and women meeting and greeting each other when on their bost behaviour, as lovers meeting formally and occasionally, may conceal painful defects uni der one or the other of these beads and give A wholly falso impression of themselves.

Here, then, is the solution of an exceedingly vexed' question. Let there be established- whether by privata enterprise or governmental decree it mattere not-trial `establishments where lovers may dwell for a period of proba, tion, in chaste association, for the avowed pur- pose of making each other's acquaintance thor oughly before committing themselves to the serious and irrevocable step. · If they be truly fitted for life companions, the experience will become merely a delightful, prolonged court. ship, during which they may learn' much that will afterward be useful regarding each other's tastes and habits. If they discover little differ. ences, and are still held by bonds of affection larger than their faults, here is the opportunity to concede and to compromise, to amend and to forbear, opportunity for a season of prepara« · tion and self-discipline which might be missed were they to plunge without such preparation into the sensitive bliss of the honeymoon. But should they discover irreconcilable differences in tastes, habits and disposition, they could still part with dignity and self-respect, to find their happiness elsewhere....... tf,

As a matter of fact accident often establishes this proof before young people. discover their mutual liking, and some of the. happiest anions have been born of daily asso ciation in homes, and even in business'establish» ments, where men and women learn each other's ways through close daily association.

It is often noted that unhappy marriages mod consequent separations are commonest in new communities, while they are rarely known in regions where there is fiule change or move, ment. Men and women who have grown from childhood to maturity in the same community o not require any special experience to acquire a knowledge oftheir mutual frailties and virtues. It is the men and women of the newer civiliza»' ation, pitiably ignorant of all the influences which have gone to form the life character of those to whom their hearts are drawn, and wha stand besitatlog and afraid, on the brink of matrimony, for whom trial trips for lovers would be an inestimable safeguard,-8.
