Mr. Smith, Husband to

A Woman,

Second of

by

ANTHONY WEYMOUTH, of Harley-street, Daily Ex- press family doctor, on MARRIAGE

I'M hoping, Mr. Smith,

that you will be one of those people who begin married life in such a way that it won't end in the tra- gedy of divorce.

For divorce is a tragedy, Mr. It's failure of the most Smith. important job to which you've ever set your hand.

"Never forget that it's your duty to protect Your wife."

of her in a word, to give her a duty to protect her, to take care

husband she can lean on and rely on.

And if you've got children it's If she's a normal woman she'll a worse tragedy still: for your want to have children, and if failure is not only effecting you she loves you she'll want your and your wife (and both of you children to be hers.

So I don't think I'd marry, if have had some say in it): It's affecting the lives of your I were you, with the idea that children, who've had no say in the physical side of marriage it and who will never have both has nothing to do with children. their parents together again. You both want married happi-

That is why I maintain that, you don't really get quit of all by marriage troubles your

livorce. And can't get rid of: remorse quite as easily as you

can a partner in marringe.

A SOUND piece of ad-

vice is, give and take.j When you really are married, Mr. Smith, you've simply got to bachelor point of sink your

view. You are no longer a one- man business. You can't (and you jolly well mustn't) act as if you were.

You'll have to consult Mrs. Smith about your expenditure; you'll have to talk over with her any invitations you receive. And you'll have to be prepared to give way, whenever you realise that she's right.

It's all diflicult-at-first; because until now you've been on your own with no one else! you need consider. But the more you do it willingly in your early married life the casier it becomes.

Somehow I believe that sel- fishness wrecks more marriages than any other single factor.

**

WHAT about the length of your engagement? Well, I suppose a long or a short- engagement is largely a matter of the individual people con-. cerned.

You shouldn't, of course, rush into an agreement which is to lust your lifetime. So don't propose to-day and be on the the church steps as soon as banns can be called.

There's such a'lot to do, my dear chap, before you marry, And there are two of you to be considered.

On the other hand, don't, un- less you've got to, make your engagement so long that it leads to both of you getting a little irritable.

You see, if you both want very much to be married to each other, you're going to-natur- ally enough-spend all the spare time you, can in each other's company. And that's a little trying to both of you-if the. (or engagement lasts months even years).

WHAT next? You should bo as it as you can' before you marry. I'm assum- Ing you know all the duties which you're undertaking-and that you realise your wife has her rights too.

You're a man, Mr. Smith, and your wife la marrying a man, and if you want to be happy you'll never forget that it's your

ness and you'll only get that, to the full by binding your in- terests together-with children. But we'll talk about that again later on.

Anything else? Is it better to marry on a small income or wait until it's bigger? De- pends, of course, 'on its' actual size.

But if you're afraid that by marrying now you'll be losing some of your creature-comforts.

Did you MACLEAN

your teeth to-day?

Ah! I see you did

and if you're not willing to ex- change them for Miss Brown- all I can say is you'd better not it-now or at any other risk Lime.

That state of mind suggests to me, Mr. Smith that you're a bit self-indulgent, and possi bly you're only contemplating BANGKOK marrlage from that point of BATAVIA view. Lot me tell you very CALCUTTA firmly that happy marriage CHEFOO doesn't mean only an increase COLOMBO in your comfortsat any rate Focow you shouldn't marry with that HAMBURG as your main object.

*

IT'S a funny thing, but I'm certain that you'll double your real happiness if you have to sacrifice something in order to change Miss Brown into Mrs. Smith. I suppose this is really because we humans never appreciate something we get for nothing. Do you agree?

Yes, I shall be very glad to make Miss Brown's acquaint-

ance,
