A great many marriages go on the rocks because brides
expect their husbands to continue the romantic life of the
honeymoon period during all the rest of the wedded life.
Some men do, but those same men have the same romantic
ideas about making a living and there are times when bread
and butter are more necessary to life than romance.
This is a material world and while a life in the clouds may
seem a wonderful thing .theoretically, practically it won’t
work, at least in our present form of existence. When we
get bodies that can live on love and romance, then the Wall
Streets of the world can go out of business and we can go
out of business and we can enjoy a life in the clouds.
Have you ever run across those people who will give you
their life history upon the slightest provocation? A frightful
bore, isn’t it? And sometimes it is very embarrassing for
quite frequently they tell things which they have no right to
divulge. Xet it is a hopeless task to try and make them see
that the intimate details of their life never interest anyone as
much as themselves.
We hear people speak of an “ungovernable temper,” yet
there is really no such thing. Every temper can he govern
ed if the possessor exercises sufficient self control. It is mere
ly a matter of foolish self-indulgence or broken restraint.
Mapy people who think they have ungovernable tempers say
it is easy for others to preach, hut it is not so easy for them
to put the preaching into "practice. However, we are all
brothers and sisters under the skin and we all have more or
less the same things with which to contend. Even the most
calm people have times when they would like to throw dishes
and break the furniture, hut that is no reason they should so
far lose control of themselves as to do it.
It used to be considered very stylish for a woman to have
nerves. A nervous breakdown was considered quite a lux
ury, usually the result of too much social gayety and conse
quently loss of sleep.
However, “nerves” are going rapidly out of style and the
soonor a lot of our so-called nervous people find this out, the
better for themselves and those living with them.
We have all met women and some men too, who are suf
fering from at least five deadly ailments according to then
own mind, yet they live on and on and seem to have a fairly
good time too. Asa rule they bury all tne healthy members
of their family and finally die of a very prosaic illness known
as old age before any of their five deadly ailments have suf
ficiently developed to kill them. We have never had suffi
cient courage to ask these people for the explanation of such
phenomena bat no doubt one would be forthcoming.
That is the sort of a thing into which “nerves” get one
and such people should have our sympathy, not for their ail
ments but for their lack of will power, though more often
we feel that a shaking would do them more good than sym
pathy.
A great many people overlook the value of wall paper in
decorating the house. Artistic wall paper is really no more
expensive than these hideous wa.l coverings we see with red
roses that look like cabbages literally hitting us in the face
when we come into the room or those striped affairs that
make us look cross-eyed. Yet people seem to think that un
less they get a lot of color or design they are not getting their
money’s worth. Disturbing wall paper has much more to
do with one’s outlook on life than we realize and quiet tones
adapt themselves much more readily to our moods and are
much easier to live with.
