Else, why this church? Why all these bewitching bridesmaids? Why your rather foolish but altogether cheerful appearance? Take heart, young man, for what you do is wise. This is the day of marriages, and don’t let anybody tell you different. We havjs to bless this . modern age, for with it disappears all the carking care that attends the prospective bridegroom. Everything “opens and shuts." Time was when arrangements were so solemn, so severe, so impracticable that the marriage ceremony was a nightmare. Now, you just whisper a word in the ears of a number of eminently competent people, and things happen just exactly as they should. Lots of people got married last month, lots are getting married this month, and a further large instalment will get married next month. They go to the church with the firm conviction that marriages are made in heaven, and look forward .to the time when, years later, they will be able to preach that gocpel to their own boys and girls. Should anyone slide up to you, young man, and whisper in your ear “Marriage is a lottery—and all the dice are loaded,” or some such pseudo-cynical offering, then swing your strong' right arm, young fellow, and fell him to the ground. If you can find a nice dirty puddle to fell him in, so much the better. Yes, you don’t know how lucky you are. The man, I think, always gets the better of the bargain. That’s what your marriage brought home to me. i just wandered in through the door (strangely enough, 1 generally come in through doors), and I said to myself, “What a lovely girl!" I take it that you have the proverbial heart of gold, but, er, yes, young man, you are lucky. Sometimes I can’t think why these lovely girls tie themselves up for fife to a mere ordinary man like you. My#wife, 1 may mention, has excellent taste. There’s glamour in the wedding ceremony. There’s music and happiness, as well as solemnity. There’s nothing that the light of day treats quite so kindly as a pretty bride; and somehow you young pups all manage to look semi-respectable. It’s a great start, and again I say, don’t let anyone tell you different. See how happy that wife of yours looks. You did not only marry her, young man. She married you as well. She thinks that you are just the little ray of sunshine, and it’s up to you to foster that illusion. Look after her; she’s worth it. Make her happy and comfortable. Especially comfortable. The other is apt to follow. Another thing, rope in some of those boy friends of yours, who are wasting their substance on more or less riotous living, and. get them married off. It s the best thing for them. The more I venture abroad in this great city the more I am impressed with the number of lovely girls just waiting to be married. They would probably raise a howl of protest if you told-them that, but I know, laddies, I know. “Yes, there’s home, and car, and furniture and fixings. They may not seem to mean much now, but you wait till you are settled down in a home of your own, and take a pride in it. It’s then that your possessions become cherished personal friends. Believe me —it’s no use brushing that confetti off now, there’s plenty more to come —you have a good time coming. Lucky to be able to get married, Now, when I was a boy—Good morning, madam. Fine fellow this husband of yours. Just been telling him of the old times in Mungiwangiangiangi. Off already! Well, goodbye and good luck!" <Si '—likewise the Bridegroom and Best Man Your Suit will cost less if you make a wise selection.
