THE TRUTH ABOUT MARRIAGE
How often you and I have seen such men portrayed in novels and in plays and in moving pictures! They are usually men of violent character, accustomed to rule with an iron hand, to dominate their households and business in a despotic way. They have a daughter who falls in love with the hero and the bully of a father tries to separate them. Well, does he do it?
Possibly for a time, but after great accidents or unhappiness he relents and we then behold the love in the father's heart. And we then forgive the old curmudgeon because we see he has a heart after all. But I am sorry for the wife and the family who have to endure him.
