Some times family experience so influences a man or woman a to create traits that make intimate fellowship difi. cult These individuals are ill prepared to meet the wear and tear ol contact, the adjustments and the sacrifice that result when people Lv in close association day by day. Just a some persons who go fnto business fail because the do not fit so there are those who, because of inadequate or unfortunate preps, ration or on 'account of a faulty personality, cannot make a success of marriage.

It is therefore of exceeding great importance that careful insight be made before marriage as an ounce of prevention is worth a ton of cure. Further it must be irmtmoered that marital adjustments are more easily made when the man and woman have similar but not identical social, relig. tous, economic, racial and family background.

Everybody has a theory as to why and 1 how it happened. I believe the true answer is rather complicated. Lifo i a funnv thine person has to start all over asain of success and gets a good way up without a mishap, that person often becomes giddy with good luck. Then comes the slip and the person has to start' all vore again if poible.

In this particular case it wouldn't allow themta see that separaheej i for several weeks would have beea amp repaid after victory. Repaid' twice, in fact, with happiness at being reunited and "happiness at another victory. The moral here is plain.

If you want to get ahead, you must see that love doesn't get a strangle hold on you. Don't try to avoid it altogether, you can't do that very easily either, but always re member that love abne is not enough. If yon place love too far ahead of everything else, am bition remains, love itself often flies away in time too. Persistence is this young man' special virtue.
