seen anywhere is that of the delicate,
intellectual man who loves his family dearly, has the highest ideals and
yet is unable to provide for them.

When Love Flies Out the Window

"When poverty comes in the door love flies out the window" is a saying
as old as it is sad.

And it is as true as it is both old and sad.

Despite the philosophers--who are all Cerebrals themselves!--love should
grow in sheltered soil, protected from the buffetings of wind and storm.
Without means no man can provide this protection. Happy marriage, as we
have seen, is based on the cultivation of the strong points and the
submergence of the weak ones of each partner. Poverty does more to bring
out the worst in people and conceal the best than anything else in the
world. So, although this type is high-minded, more idealistic in his
love than any other type and has fewer of the lower instincts, he makes
less of a success of marriage than any other type.

Mates for the Cerebral

Because he lives in his mind and not in his external world the
predominantly Cerebral must marry one who also is predominantly
Cerebral.

The reading of books, attendance at good plays, and the study of great
movements constitute the chief enjoyments of this type and if he has a
mate who cares nothing for these things his marriage is bound to be a
failure.

The Cerebral he marries should, however, be inclined to the Muscular
also.

Second choice for this type is the predominantly Muscular and third
choice is the Osseous. The firmness of the latter is often a desirable
element in the combination, for the Cerebral does not mind giving the
reins over to his Osseous mate; he does not like driving anyhow.

The last type of all for the pure Cerebral to marry is the pure
Alimentive because it is farthest removed from his own type. These two
have very little in common.

_Remember, in marriage, TYPE is not a substitute for LOVE. Both are
essential to ideal mating. People contemplating matrimony are like
two autoists planning a long journey together, each driving his own
car. Whether they can make the same speed, climb the same grades
"on high" and be well matched in general, depends on the TYPE of
these two cars. But it takes LOVE to supply the gas, the
self-starters and the spark plugs!_
