OUT canD UT there are men and women foolish enough to think that they can live together continuously without a II break for twenty or thirty or forty year elus without wearying wearIng of each cach others society and that be because cause they are married they should never p part rt for lor a single day or nIght or havo have any Individual pleasures or amusements amusement Yet the experience of every ev ry hl band hi-band band and wife who are aro ar separated now and then or r who accord each other oth r any per personal onal liberty shows how fallacious thi theory li II a and how true is la the old adage that absence makes the eart grow grow fonder r EVERY E hoI hoI- VERY woman who aho ho goes oft off on a 0 vacation alone knows when she parts with her her- husband at the stat o
