8 OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN THE LOVE THAT LASTS BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX Why do so many marriages go on the rocks?" said my friend the Doc tor. And then he answered his own question very wisely. "Because they are not based on anything more last ing than—love; and love is generally a beautiful dream." Everybody knows that a sunset is beautiful—but nobody expects it to last forever. We all gasp at the exquis ite beauty of a rainbow—but we know Jt will fade. So as I listened to the Doctor I thought of the transitory na ture of most beauty and adjusted my self to his viewpoint. "Love is for most people a cobweb Illusion. It is a desperate attraction formed of a desire for kisses and ca resses and thrills. But no substantial dinner ever was made of dessert alone. And no real love consists of an emo tional froth. Marriages go to smash all about us and all the time, and when they do everybody exclaims, 'But that started out as a love match?' "Well, of course it did," went on the Doctor, smiling tolerantly. "But It didn't start as anything else. A marriage that lasts has to be based on congeniality. And that's the only kind of marriage that ever will last." I remember a line I had read some where which went like this: "I some times think true friendship consists more in liking the same things than in liking each other." Well, true love has to consist in I liking each other and respecting! each other, too. It. must build on a basis of enjoying many things in common and accepting and tolerating the points of difference. A husband and wife may have the jolliest time in the world playing golf together of a Saturday and yet differ entirely in their tastes in music. If she likes grand opera and he prefers burlesque shows, and they are sane enough to smile at each other and permit each other to gratify their widely divergent tastes, they can get a tremendous lot of fun out of their mutual toleration and appreciation of their points of difference. Good chums and comrades have a wonderful time in sharing certain amusements and in listening to an account of those they cannot share or in just smiling serenely and accept ing the fact that a wise providence has varied the human species infinite ly. No one has a right to demand that everybody else conform to his own standards. Emotion might be extravagant enough to do that. Sane Jove based on a friendly understand ing ajid a quiet mutuality of respect won't do that.
