According to the outcome of the test, their matrmgc was a mighty puoi risk. Hci husband Is an only child, and yet, tile child of divorced parents. When they married she was earning more than he he was starting his career nt the bottom. They are of different religious faiths. And to add the final handicap to the marriage, her mother lives with them during part of each year.

According to most marriage experts, all those facts are serious drawbacks to a happy marriage. This wife says she Is glad she it proposed to issue of I mortgage bonds. interim notes exchangable of 70,000 shares of preferred stock having a par value of $25 per share and 140,000 shares of common stock having a par, value of per share and 85.500,000 principal amount, firs named her husband. It might have her. But being Ignorant of all the chnnce.s Tgninst their being haplly nan-ierf, this couple went ahead with complete faith that their marriage would be happy and last a lifetime.

'Here svc had all those terrible iroblems and didn't realise how they were." the wife says with a chuckle. ''So we just met our problems as they came along and they never seemed Insurmountable." Love Can Ilalauce "Poor Risk" I tell you that story because in spite of all the experts' advice young men and women keep right falling in love with and marrying what the experts would cal "poor risks." But if two persons are deeply in love, if they take it for granted that they'll stay married for life, it they meet tlieir problems as they come along, they'll probably get along all right. They may not be Ideally happy all the time. But few people married to a good risk or ft poor one.
