A Happy Marriage?

never think of getting married on less than a thou- sand a year," is one of the things I often hear young men saying.

Well, they really mean that, all I can say is good luck to them. They'll need all they can get when, and if, they do get married.

I know, because I said the same thing myself once. Only I changed my idens just in time. If I hadn't done the girl who is now my wife would not have been able to TOY that the last four years have been the happiest of her life. We should never have got married in the first place.

Thought her a Fool PEOPLE probably said, "She is n

fool to marry him when he's got no money. Why doesn't she wait the gels, a job?" And I know they must have said, "He can't be much of a man to ask her to marry him when he can hardly support himself."

Well, I said the Game things. Nevertheless, I borrowed £10 and we got married.

But I didn't feel so badly about It at the time. It wasn't as if I had been taking her away from a com- fortable home. I didn't promise ver anything. I didn't even promise her everlasting love, although I told her that I loved her.

She was living by herself in a depressing 1tle room in a lodging house. I was occupying another de- pressing te room in the building.

We argued that some of the de- pression might be dispersed if we both lived together in the same room somewhere else. We might even be able to run lo a small flat. At any rate it would be cheaper if we were to live together.

So we found a small fat and got married. Between us, we were just able to raise enough money to pay the first month's rent in advance.

I don't know how we managed to exist for the first few months. My

wife was getting £3 a week as a salesgirl in a hat shop. I succeeded

in getting a job which brought mo in 35s. a week. The rent came to £7 10s, a month. (It was an un- furnished fint, and it remained so for some time.)

No time to be Bored

But a few years before the idea of marriage on an aggregate income of £4 15. a week would have staggered me. had been getting £000 a year then. And In those days I had thought that money and married happiness bore some rela- tion to each other.

There was no craving for pleasure. For the first time I was able to get enjoyment out of the simple things of life. In the summer we went for walks in the park. In the winter we sat at home and played cards or read a book.

Of course, there were times when I was heartily ashamed of myself. I repentedly had to ask my wife for

After four Years

WE have been married for four years now, and things haven't changed much in that time, True, there is a little more money to spend; we go out more..

But we aren't any happier than we were. We still to for walks in the park, and we still spend most of our evenings a home playing cards or reading. Which shows that we have learned to be happy without the aid of money.

If you want a moral it is that some people expect too much from marriage. We expected very little. But we determined to make that little count.

Perhaps that is why, after four years of married life, we are still happy. Perhaps that is why we ex- pect to go on being happy,

What is a

mother to do! Why, the scratch was so small you could hardly see it: blood-poisoning never entered my mind. After all, children can't sit still all day-though I have asked Freddie not to play in that shed. But, I mean, it might happen to any of us—a cut, a little scratch! Tell me, what is one to do?"

The smallest cut or scratch is enough for the germs of blood-poisoning to enter. To the germs that cause the havoc, a tiny break in the skin is a wide-open door. There is only ane way to prevent their invasion; they must be killed-at ance. 'Dettol,' the Modern Antiseptic, can be applied immediately; there are directions on every bottle. This thorough killer of germs is gentle and tender on human tissues. Non- poisonous and non-staining to the skin, yet death to germs. Dettol' promptly used may save you untold pain and danger.

The way to faty -- Buy a bottle of "Dettol' from your chemlat now and be ready.
