MARRIAGE
Marriage, for a woman at any ra f e. is a career like another. Of all careers it is the one most beset with difficulties, but it is the one at which she is most capable of excelling. Almost the on]y 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 be acquired, cultivated, made allowances for —of course, there are people who have radially antagonistic types of mind, and 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.
