Of Facts and Fantasy 1. . By Reta M, Berrill SPEAKING TO GRANDDAUGHTERS To offer comments of counsel on matters of the heart could be likened to, Speaking to the Wind. Yet, at times we'd try, if only with a dim hope of preventing some stubbed-toes and bruised egos. However, having concern for four granddaughters 'ranging downward from the permissible age of : marriage to a second-grader, we address here the first-born, though our values unchanged will apply to each one in tury. . ' Dear Cindy; . the .outside work-a-day world. And although some - years may yet elapse before your next major move it will undoubtedly be for marriage. : In view of this, we extend, not maternal advise, nor the newest edition of How to be Happy Though Married. But simply, a few of our observations compiled through many years; that hopefully you may firld worthy of consideration as you do about 'consciously or unconsciously' selecting that Special One. p May you find, not necessarily a Gentleman, but a ' gentle man, kind true and understanding. A man, proud of his heritage whatever it may be and tolerant ~ of all men and theirs. Bigotry has no place in our present world with its hodgepodge of nationalities, and is often the sign of a meager intellect. h A man who finds happiness in his work whatever his chosen field, and in other work beyond his livelihood. Interested in people are interesting people and these are never boring. You'll want a partner to be proud of, handsome, maybe. A good dancer and a maker of laughs. This is fine too. But don't accept him completely at face-value. A bit of digging may produce gold or, reveal a space of emptiness. Also, don't consider one with hope of reforming him; and when you two must compromise--honour those promises. Pay heed to his attitude with children; does he talk with them or at them and are they comfortable in his company? . And of his family-steer clear of one who's been dominated by the dogma of 'Mama knows best' (the species is 'not extinct) rather one who treats his You are much loved and often in our thoughts, . especially now when your school-days are so nearly over and you'll be taking that first great plunge into ~mother-as-a person worthy of having an idea, even if she's actually beyond those forty-nine years. And if he refers to "My mom and dad" put a mark on the credit side---proof of a good relationship. Don't ever be swayed by those who insist 'You don't marry his family" You do. So, don't decide early that 'She'll only be my mother-in-law whom it's fashion- able to dislike." But always remember if you love her son she too must possess some of those lovable qualities and traits. And a small investment of kindness in a mother-in-law can pay quite satisfactory dividends. : Will you enjoy together a variety of activities for your leisure time or, is his horizon the size of a T.V. screen, set solely for sportcasts. This could be one of the minor things, though it's sometimes the little things, clashing of pérsonalities that cause the marital explosions. Anything from the strength of the morning coffee to a hole in his favourite socks. And may his warmest characteristic be a true sense of humour; not a witty punner, who can never take a joke on himself, but a man who can mentally flip the coin and quickly evaluate the other side. Surely too, every girl enjoys a ial Occasion, so make much of these while you're dating. Not always expensive doings but: reasons for dressing up. If you frequent "only thé placés of Jackets and Jeans-- beware! You'll never get him into a suit and tie except for the wedding day. "The moral code has changed greatly since we travelled the road of youth and, marriage is more easily dissolved. And while many times and for varied reasons this has to be condoned--don't enter marriage on this basis "If it doesn't work--"", As, like a physical operation it can often cure the ailment but can also leave lasting scars.
