MARRIEs FOR LOVE.

The discussions concerning college wo-
men and matrimony have always been
interesting, but there are some things
that might still be said
One fact is that college training does
not seem to predispose girl to look upon
marriage just for the sake of being mar
ried, as the chief thing in life.
College women are quite capable of low
ing and quite as willing to make sacri-
fees for their loves as any other women
and they will insist more than do other
women upon marrying for love.
If the college woman does not meet the
right man she does not marry some one
she does not love just to be married. II
she does meet the right man and her
love affair ends unhapplIy she does not
marry Someone else SO that she may not
be an old maid ''s'14~ - z. "a

The. more a woman learns of the life

as inside the more cultured she becomes,
the more she believes that the greatest
good in life is love. g'i5s@'4 adf 0le1f aa
1t is not as has been said, that the col

sufficient knowledge of the facts but
that she is, if you call itisof too romant-

the'sake of being married, but for love.
If love does not come to- her, she will
amakes;the best of her life without it.
1t should not be hard to decide which
does most good in the world--a brave
hearted Independent woman. or one
who has married man Cor whom she
does not care and so spoiled two lives.

We sincerely hope those Confederate
veterans in Washington city who so seri-
ously interfered with the work of the
ladies in their efforts to bring back our
dead to their native State, are quite sat
isfed. We see from the mornings papers
that they are to be moved to the Ma
tiona1 Cemetery, and ten-cent head
stones placed over their graves, which
is the end of McKinley's magnanimous
offer to care for Southern graves. Oh,
the shame of 1t!

can Agriculturist says that it haG been
her good fortune to take summer board
