Lovers Quarrels

If engaged or married people never quarrel with each other, are they really in love, or do they only persuade themselves that they are? This question has been raised by a breach of promise oaae, in which a girl who said that they had never had a single quarrel during the six years they had been engaged obtained damages against her ex-fiance because at the end of that time he foiled to marry her. Interviewed by a reporter, a wellknown writer on affairs of love said: “If two who see a great deal of one another eVer quarrel, my opinion is that they do not really care. "If a girl is truly fond of her sweetheart everything he does, no matter how trivial, becomes important in her eyes, and if he does things that Jar on her she can not bring herself to take no notice, as she would in the case of a mere friend. "Lovers Idealize each other, and whenever, as Is constantly happening, since no one is ideal, "the other does something commonplace, it becomes repugnant and can not be passed over in silence. Then the one reproved reproaches the reprover for grumbling, and they begin to wrangle. The man says .that she shows signs of nagging, and the girl says the man Is censorious. "If one is late for an appointment it takes a lot of explaining on the part of the one who is late to convince the other that it really could not have been avoided. "Even then the girl begins to cry and says, ‘You care more for your stupid old business than you do for me!’ The idea that he can care more for anything on eartht than for her is a desolating one. “But if people never feel these emotional storms, and take everything casually, you can be certain that one of the two does not care, and thr.t the other is too proud to show that he or she cares.”
