WAR WIVES URGED TO KEEP BUSY Work, constructive activity, study--these are the answers to the millions of war brides whose husbands are away. The wise bride of today realizes that she must prepare for the time when her soldier returns. Long separations-- particularly if the marriage igas hurried--must be counteracted by strong character, sympathy, and understanding. Wives who are running around with other men while their husbands are at war are not displaying the qualities which will lead them to a long, happy .marriage. They should be working and building for the future. M OtMCE OF PREVENTION 1$ WORTH APWND Of CORE. 3 wildered and doubtful. It all seems unreal; the sudden appearance of the uniformed lover, the quick vows and brief kisses, the parting--perhaps for months, perhaps even for years. Mary catches her breath when it is all over, and looks at her new ring and writes her new name, and wonders-- Yes, she wonders. For she doesn't really feel married. When sympathetic relatives and friends say flattering things of Tom she agrees eagerly; he's a pretty swell person, she says shyly. But is he? Does she really know anything about him? Husband's Letters Surprise Wife. Sometimes she doesn't. Sometimes his letters rather surprise her. Sometimes it surprises her and irks her when her mother gently suggests that she had better stop going about to dinners and dances with the old crowd. "But good heavens, Mother," says Mary, flushing resentfully, "Tom said he wanted me to have a good time!" "Yes, I know, darling. But your first thought has to be Tom, now. You see, Billy and Ben and Martin still like you very much, and they hardly know Tom, they may even resent his sweeping in here and carrying you off so suddenly. When you go out with other boys, and they send you flowers, you're doing something that a wife isn't supposed to do." "So all my fun is over!" Mary says bitterly. At 21 she doesn't feel that her whole interest can be turned to Red Cross work, dishwashing at the canteen, knitting, good brisk walks, books and victory gardening. - She is still the girl she was when Tom burst into her life a few months ago. And at this point, if Mary goes idle and aimless, as so many young wives do, her marriage and perhaps the happiness of her whole lifetime are at stake. What she needs is work; useful and constructive work; something to keep her busy all day, bring her home tired at night, and give her something worthwhile about which to write to Tom. Hundreds of young war-wives and anxious mothers write me about this problem. The other day a mother mailed me a printed list of the four questions that a certain New York clergyman, the Rev. Dr. Randolph Ray of New York, asks the couples that he marries. Do they really know each other, are they really in love, have they similar backgrounds or interests, and when they are reunited after the war, do they realize that they may feel themselves complete strangers? More Than Love Needed. But it seems to me these questional are not the really important ones. Happy marriages have taken olac* and have lasted for a lifetime, even when the answers to all these questions might be "No."' That is, to all but "are you really In love?" However brief the illusion the answer to this would always be "Yes." Being "in love" 1$ indeed a brief illusion, and any marriage based, wholly upon that is bound to bring disappointment. There has to be more than the irresistible drawing together, the ecstatic physical need for one another that we call "being in love." And for the other three questions; well, we all know men and women who hadn't known each other well, who hadn't the same backgrounds or interests, who were perfectly aware that after a long separation they would seem strangers, and who yet have carried war marriages along from 1916 and 1917 to the proud days of grandparenthood and the Silver Wedding. The essential to happy marriage, or happy living at all, lies in the word "character." Men and women of fine character will make a success of any marriage, or of any circumstances that follow marriage; .weaklings won't. There is the situation in a nutshell.
