Show BEACH COURTSHIPS MEET DISAPPROVAL By FnHrrnl Service LONDON, duly 29. Is there a means by which an enr;.:g.) couple may test the quality and endurance of tholr affectiohs before embarking on the stormy seas ot matrimony? The dean of Manchester. Dr, J. G. McCormlck, has brought this vital question again to the fore by warning the young peoph' of his diocese against the entanglements of Cupid when he gets busy on the beach. "Sweethearts must know each other nt home as well as on holiday," says the .b an "Young people who become entangled in amorous attachments while on a holiday should not allow the entanglements to continue until th v have seen each other at homo." Sir William Arbiithnot-I.ane. a distinguished dis-tinguished surgeon, said: "It has been my observation that couples who saw most of each other before marriage seem to manage thetr ninrltal relation most successfully. ".Temper and physical attraction are certainly the two oui.-tandlng factors In married life, and in the beach affair it is physical attraction that is tho impelling im-pelling factor in matrimony This factor, however, does not make for b kpplness In later llfp half so much as the temper of the parties concerned "Happiness in marriage Is lnrgely a matter of temper, nnd bad tempers subject to frequent volcanic outbursts arc consistent with deep attachments and si rong att r i t Ions. "Temper tests might, of course, bo .mploved to insure happiness before a marriage is made, but how could ou expect two people under the spell of a strong physical attraction to apply temper tests"' It would dispel tho glamor or the relationship, and that would be fatal. "Lo ven In these days of enlightenment enlight-enment Is still blind, whether it is born at home or on the beach. Love finds its eyes only when the glamor is gone What 0veslch swain would he likely to belb ve In his l.etrothed's had tem-I tem-I per till he felt the bite of it which Is usually after marriage0 j "Marriage Is still a speculation, I whether it results from a beach or a drawing room affair." 1 no - |
