The Marriage of Convenience.
Why should we not boldly face the fact that the marriage of convenience has many advantages over the old-lash-ioned marriage for love (says the "World and His Wife”)? We are always grow ing older; we cannot always be young and sentimental. To the man or woman of fifty the ordinary comforts of life arc certainly more desirable than the possession of a faded love that has been accompanied always with poverty and personal discomforts. Again, in favour of the marriage of convenience is the fact that such a marriage takes place between persons who are really’ suitable in position and fortune for each other. Hi is being the case, in nine instances out of a dozen the parties fall iu love after marriage.
