MARRIAGE
Marriage, for a woman at any rate, is a career like another. Of nil careers it is tho ono most beset With difficulties, but it is the ono at which is most capable of excelling. Almost the only one!
A man and a maid marry for love and they think that life owes them happiness. It does not. Life owes them nothing. They are already deeply in the debt of life. It is up to them to make themselves happy. Tastes in common are pleasant things, but they are not essential. Tastes can bo acquired, cultivated, made allowance for—of course, there are people who have radically antagonistic types of mind PDd these simply should not marry each other. For their benefit exists the prenuptial convention of the engagement. All other differences can be got over if to love is added a small degree of courtesy, tolerance and common sense.
