If Y0u’re Going to be_Married,_ Don’t Torture Your Intended With Iletails of Your Previous Love Affairs — Instead» Turn the Spotlight on t_h_e Quirks in Your Own Disposition so That There Will be Time to Back Out
A correspondent asks: "What should an engaged 410111116 7-511 each Other before marriage?" Well, one of the things they should NOT tell each otheris all 9.111011‘;
their previous love affairs. Confidlng to the one ,
you are about to marry how crazy you used to be
about Susie or how enamored you were of John is
c. fatal mistake. It does no good. It only lights
the fire of jealousy in the heart of your betrothed
and later 0n furnishes material for recrimirmtions
in time of domestic strife. After all, this vain
and morbid desire to be a first love is all hooey.
What counts is to be the last lore.
Literally in marriage the things that people don't know about each other don't wony them. Thousands: of married couple's live together in happiness and peace and lire all thc better husbands and wives because, like Kipling: hero, they have learned about men and women from some former romance of which their present partners never heard.
But if these contented spouses h ad been foolish and weak enough to indulge 1'11 silly sentimental confessions, gone would have been their peace and happiness. They would have placed in each others hand a stick of dynamite that was likely to explode and blow their marriage to Kingdom Come at any minute. For Jack's fabled beanstalk was a slow grower and n poor producer compared to the crop of suspicions that a husband's or wife's imaginations can raise if they once have thc seed of doubt planted in their minds.
S0 munfs the word as regards former swcctics anl the boy friends.
The least said of them, the better. The less you tell, the less you will ' have to explain and the fewer alibis you will have to furnish. Bczldcs, the man or woman is :1 poor sport who kissrs and tells,
'l‘hc chief thing that l think an engaged couple should tell each other is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth about their dispositions, because that is the thing tha is going to matter more than anything clse on earth to the one who is taking them on for a lifetime.
I think that when n. man is high-tempered and irritable and gocs into rages where he curses and swears and hurls insults at all about him, that he should make a. clean breast of it before he marries a girl and give her a chance to back out in time to save herself. And when a man is grouchy and sullen and enjoys sulking by himself and is about as companlonablc as a store dummy. or uhcn he is stingy and close-fistcd and begrudgcs every nickcl he spends, or when he is indolent and hates to work, he should also tell the girl so that she could take 111m or leave 1mm

expect her husband to be a combination cash register and gigolo. And a man should tell a girl exactly how much money he makes and what style they will have to live in. Most men deal in glittering gen-
from every hardship and that their lily-white hands shall never do aught but soothe their fevered brows.
Then, when the girl discovers after marriage that she has to pinch pennies and do all of the housework, it gives her a jolt from which she never recovers. If a bridegrooms gift to his bride is going to be a cook- stcve, he shouklnt keep it as p surprise for her. He should let her know of it beforehand.
And a girl should definitely and unequivocally state her position and let the man know beforehand where she sands on the domestic platform. If she prefers a mahogany desk in an office to a gas range in her own
babies as brats and is unalterably opposed to the same; l fshe intends to feed her husband out of paper bags and tin cans; if she does not pro- posc to let home duties interfere with her bridge and her clubs, or a mere husband to stand l11 the way of her flirtatious, certainly she should warn the 1112111 so hc could tiy out the noble experiment of matrimony, or avoid .'. as his prudence dictated.
Both parties should state their views on the financial question before marriage. A man should tell the girl he wants to marry whether he be- lieves that the husband should be the Sole and August Bearer 0f the Pocketbook and expects his wife to work for her board and clothes, or whether he means to go fifty-fifty with her and give her a fair allowance. And the girl should tell the man whether she will keep within her allow- ance, or whether she will regard that as a mere spring-board from which to Jump ofi into the deep waters of charge accounts.
And both the man and the woman should settle the iii-law question and which one is to be made the sacrificial goat on the other one‘s family altar.
And certainly a girl should be honest with a man and lell him, while he is still on the safe side of the alt ar, thnt she is rniiok-ympered and‘ ppoilcd and selfish and extravagant and-naggy and bossy, and that she, doesn't know n thing about housekeeping or cocking, and that she willl
