Although lance pennons have gone In

Not long ago. when one VI the great

city, man and a woman. aged about
eighty, got on the cars. They were nc
companied by younger man. who mp
peared TO be their son, who got their
tickets to some place In Nebraska. put
them on the cars and left them Shortly
after passing Poughkeepsie the old lady
was taken ILL This drew around them
sympathizers, and upon inquiry II was
found that they had but very indeh-
nate idea OF the journey before them. and
that they had only dollar and some
cents in money between them.
The passengers raised collection
which furnished them with berth In
one OF the sleeping cars to Chicago and
seven dollars in money. Ii was evident
from their actions that neither OF them
had ever seen drawing room or sleep
ing car before. and the luxury and COM
fort was something entirely outside OF
their experience. They went on, ths
picture Of content. and It In to be hoped
reached their destination In safety

At recent meeting Of Sorosis, at
which tho subject Of Husbands was
discussed, Mrs. Herrick attributed the
failure OF marital happiness to girls be-
lnE taught 10 expect too much happi-
ness from marriage. and that love Ia its
only essential by romances, poetry. songs
aud tradition. But, while not belittling
love. she claimed that respect based
upon superior qualities; esteem for those
attributes that would make the wife de-
sire the husband as friend IL she could
aot have him for u husband; common
sense, which teaches her that faulty
woman need not expect perfect hus-
baud. and great patience-'that passion
Of noble souis"-are quite as essential
elements in the domestic bliss.
She cautioned the wife against holding
up her soul TO her husband always with
n thorn In It, Men cannot understand
intangible griefs and unrest. She also
said that one of the first lessons wife
has to learn Is that her husband has u
right to his own individuality. and that.
while she can inspire him 20 greater
achievement in work for which he has
n bias, she cannot, as she may fondiy
dream. mold his character. and she
wouldn't respect him II she could.
Girls should be taught that marriage
In not the gateway Of heaven. and thai
even at this Eden the angel stands witt
the flaming sword to turn back souls tina
seek an earthly paradise. Women shoui'
know their lovers so well that narriag
can bring no great disappointment
Marriage Is not a match made In heaven
but an earthly union founded on mutua
, respect. over which the love that mad
