COOKING AND MATRIMoxY.

The relation of cooking to matri-
mony and divorce, writes Judge Nc
Adams, is one which could be ex-
planned better by the records Of
Oklahoma than by any magisterial
experience derived in this portion of
our mundane sphere.
Matrimony is induced by inclination;
divorce by dissatisfaction. Each is
prompted by desire to change, some
times to better, existing conditions.
| Good cooks are certainly priced. A
good cook ought to attract her hus-
/ band to his home; while a poor one
might influence him to seek other
places as an antidOte to digestive dis
/ orders
Good cooking is certainly conducive
| to happiness; ordinarily it encourages
and fortifies marriage, and obviates
! c1Yorce. But there are so many pecu-
/ tlar people in the world. controlled by
such various hobbies. whins and lido
/ syncrasieS, that it is difficult to tell
what influence controls them in select
/ ing life partner or in seeking to
tsever that relation which ought, in it's
! very nature, to continue forever. The
! field is too broad to be confined to any
I one cause.
I The main difficulty is that the mar
/ ital relation is not looked upon by
some people with that seriousness
which BELTS the obligation In other
words, there are too many grab-bag
marriages, in which the party does not
J know whether he draws prize or a
blank, a good cook or a bad one, until
1t is too late to remedy the evil.
The clergy ought to preach more on
the subject of good cooking and its re-
lation and effect upon society, that
homes might be made better and fire
sides more cherished. But they do not;
they either cling tenaciously to ortho-
doxy or sidetrack into sensationaIisna,
and, while occasionally reviling the
/ scandals pertaining to divorce, do
comparatively little to alleviate or
/ prevent the results Of which they COM
plain.
1t is about time that this question OF
good cooking suited for the body and
the mind received serious thought;
further, that manageable men and
women were educated to reflect upon
and fully understand the grave nature
of the marital obligation and its re-
sponsibiHtes, that the wife should be
able to assume the cares of the house
hold, that both might work in har-
mony, and the prevalent evils avoided
before it is too late. Better cooks,
therefore. will cause more happiness.
fewer divorces and less scandal
