MAKE THE
CHILDREN HAPPY

There is little excuse for you this year
if you don't. Toys and Holiday Goods
of all kinds are SO low this year that
small amount of money goes a great way.
OF all the days in the year Christmas is
the children greatest holiday. Make
the most of it for them. In after years,
when they are children no more, you would
give much to hear their childish prattle
and their merry laughter ringing through
the house Make their lives bright while
it is in your power to do it.

A FAILURE SOMEWHERE.

In the district court is pending a suit
for divorce in which. as is usually the
case, the woman is plaintiff. This case
possesses two features which are at
least uncommon. one is that the par
ties have been married only about a
month, and the other is that the plain
tiff has enjoined the employer of her
husband from paying him any wages
until the suit is settled.
1t would be interesting to know what
IDEAS Of the marriage relation are en-
tertained by people who wish to annul
the contract within a month from the
date of entering into it.
1t is apparent that divorces have
greatly increased in numbers within
the past few years. The fact that this
increase seems to have begun and to
about keep pace with the "emancipa-
tom of woman and the enlargement
of her sphere" suggests the thought
that there may in some way be a con-
Meeting link between the two circum-
stances.
In very large majority of the suits
for legal separation the woman is the
plaintiff. The question naturally
arises, then, are men becoming meaner
or are women becoming more inde-
pendent? And how is the number of
marriages being affected by it all?
One thing seems certain, and that is
that women do not marry at so early
an age as formerly, when divorces
We're less frequent. In the good old
days" before woman had arrived at
her present ideas of her own i'm
portance in the world she entered into
the marriage relation with the under
standing and determination to be gov
erned by her husband in everything
and to do as he wished her to do. But
the 'advanced'' woman has been SOW
ing the seeds of rebellion and discon-
tent and that they have not fallen in
stony places seems evidenced by the
fact above stated that the woman is
usually the one who asks for a separa-
tion.
In teaching woman to be independ-
ent, to be self-supporting, to not marry
until-she is fully ready and to stand up
for her rights, is it not possible to teach
her not to make such dreadful mis-
takes when she does marry? The rec
ords of the divorce courts seem to indi-
cate that with all the advance in the
knowledge of the world of business,
learning, politics, woman has made al
most no progress in her knowledge of
men.
And how about men? Are they be-
coming less inclined to marry as the
result of what they see going on
around them? The matter is of less i'm
pOrtance to them. because they have
less at stake. When things do not
suit them they can simply go away,
and that is what they do often and
leave their wives to sue for legal
separation. What is the good of the
''emancipation' of woman if it is not
going to keep her out of trouble?
