In one of my books I once wrote this maxim: "It is better to marry the life you like, because after a while the man does not matter!" IN ONE OF MY BOOKS I ONCE WROTE THIS MAXIM IT IS BETTER TO MARRY THE LIFE YOU LIKE BECAUSE AFTER A WHILE THE MAN DOES NOT MATTER
shed, and its pleasures at best are but _pis-allers_. You agree with me on this point, so we need not argue. But marriage in this country is for life, unless it is broken by divorce, which, no matter how the law may be simplified, and altered presently, must always remain as a stain upon a woman and a thing to be faced only in the last extremity. So, Caroline dear, when you marry you must [Illustration: “_Marriage is the aim and end of all sensible girls._”] realize that it is for life, and it is therefore a very serious step, and not to be taken lightly. The rushing into unions without sufficient thought is the main cause of much of the modern unhappiness. How can you expect to spend peaceful, blissful years with a man whom you have taken casually just because you liked chaffing with him and dancing with him, or playing golf? Think of the hours you must spend with him when these things will be impossible, and if you have no other tastes in common you will find yourself terribly bored. ANING OF LIFE NO SINGLE EXISTENCE CAN BE COMPLETE HOWEVER FULL OF INTERESTS IT MAY BE IT IS UNFINISHED AND ITS PLEASURES AT BEST ARE BUT PIESOLET YOU AGREE WITH ME ON THIS POINT SO WE NEED NOT ARGUE BUT MARRIAGE IN THIS COUNTRY IS FOR LIFE UNLESS IT IS BROKEN BY DIVORCE WHICH NO MATTER HOW THE LAW MAY BE SIMPLIFIED AND ALTERED PRESENTLY MUST ALWAYS REMAIN AS A STAIN UPON A WOMAN AND A THING TO BE FACED ONLY IN THE LAST EXTREMITY SO CAROLINE DEAR WHEN YOU MARRY YOU MUST REALIZE THAT IT IS FOR LIFE AND IT IS THEREFORE A VERY SERIOUS STEP AND NOT TO BE TAKEN LIGHTLY THE RUSHING INTO UNIONS WITHOUT SUFFICIENT THOUGHT IS THE MAIN CAUSE OF MUCH OF THE MODERN UNHAPPINESS HOW CAN YOU EXPECT TO SPEND PEACEFUL BLISSFUL YEARS WITH A MAN WHOM YOU HAVE TAKEN CASUALLY JUST BECAUSE YOU LIKE CHAFFING WITH HIM OR DANCING WITH HIM OR PLAYING GOLF THINK OF THE HOURS YOU MUST SPEND WITH HIM WHEN THESE THINGS WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE AND IF YOU HAVE NO OTHER TASTES IN COMMON YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF TERRIBLY BORED
