DON’T MARRY. BY HILDRETH. is not intended to advise against marriage, nor I t to draw the line too closely as to the don’t- marry class, but simply to hint at the errors of some persons who match badly on so long a contract. The “ yes or no” question is the vital one for all young people to answer. Some answer too soon, others wait too long, others never reach such a climax of happiness as to be invited by an eligible partner. The genius of selection is the rarest of faculties. Doni Marry. 4 What most puzzles the will and makes us bear the ills we have is the theme of selection. A mother’s or father’s view of a suitor may be at variance with the daughter’s wish and destroy the peace of both for a lifetime. But quite generally the real trouble arises from a spiteful choice or a hasty one, or one in some of the forms here mentioned. Should these hints pre­ vent one unhappy marriage, they will well re­ pay the little study that their brevity requires. To avoid much lecturing, only two examples arc given at any length, in the form of stories. These are as near to the real characters as the writer can safely relate them, being founded on actual romantic and unromantic marriages. As marriage is the first question that every family will discuss, it is well to treat it with exact candor. Dorit marry for beauty merely. Very few have a supply that would last a full dozen years in a Don't Marry. 5 married life that should continue for three dec­ ades. And, more than that, beauty is not the only req­ uisite to happiness. Very handsome people are almost always vain, often exacting, and gen­ erally live on their form, paying little or no at­ tention to the rarer qualities of manhood or womanhood. If one seek beauty alone, he will find it in the fields and flowers and gardens, in paintings, art works, and things of nature; while the real pleasures of life may be found in a thousand ways outside of the worship of beauty. There are a dozen considerations beyond beau­ ty that should govern the choice of a compan­ ion. Think for a moment whom you admire most, trust implicitly, and love more ardently than all others. Truly, it is not the wax-doll face in a milliner’s window; were that so, why not marry the model and get the perfection of Don't Marry. 6 beauty? The day will come when the “ rain beats in at the heart windows.” The time may run along so fast till the summer is over and the winter snow-drifts shade your locks with silver, when one by one of your friends will visit at the fireside, when some one will love you for your mind and heart and nobleness Some one suited to your silver-age condition and disposition will be beautiful without any name for beauty; as the soldier said of Grant’s face, after Shiloh’s bloody battle, “ That was the handsomest face I ever sawyet it was plain and dusty and rugged. Prize-winners in matrimony have been women of finer mould than mere beauties. Women who have won the hearts of statesmen, and painters and poets, and the good and great of all time, were women of fascination, or what the South­ ern ladies call sweet women, and not alone noted for the-ir beauty.
