GOOD NATURE A REQUISITE
FOR HAPPINESS IN MARRIAGE
By HARRIET P. SPOFFORD.

And most OF us, again, rather than
with the petulant and fault finding man,
or with the stern and sour and solemn
incarnation of all the virtues, or with
the lofty and superior soul. without
whose wisdom and learning the wo.ld
could not revolve. would choose COM
panionship with the oif-hand. happy-go-
lucky fellow who, II the dinner is late
says. Never mind; 1t will be all the
better when it does come" or If we our
selves are late at church or thcater or
outing. says: We'll, we will enjoy ii
all the more when we get there;" or II
the servants are rebellious, condones it
by declaring: we can't expect perfec-
tion for the price we pay" And this
man may have his little faults. he may
not be at home as much as you would
like. he may be too careful about the
spending of his money. he may nave
various habits unpleasant TO you; but
you love him quite aside from them;
you regard them as exterior affairs for
which he Is hardly responsible; you find
some one else to be blamed for them,
he himself is the sunny creature who
brightens gloom wherever he goes, and
of whose love you feel assured, whether
in truth it is yours or not And after
all. the assurance OF love produces hap
piness.
In fact. good nature is charm that
never dies. Beauty fades, accomplish
ments fail. but good nature survives till
all else falls to dust. 1t blends the
opposing and contradictory elements
like a fortunate solvent. 1t acts pre-
cisely as sunshine does, and where you
find it happiness fiourishes and life is
enriched. In any individual II declares
the existence OF calm and strong
nervous temperament, and nothing lends
itself more to peace and prosperity in
household than that. 1t is blessed
thing then, that such a trait can be
established. that repression here and ex-
preston there and determination every
where will make 1t grow and thrive and
become a habit. 1t Is. the outer en-
bodiment of love; and the man who is
seldom without 1t is the one to whom

The Right Of Privacy.

A test case recently came up in
which the courts were called on to
decide whether the right of privacy
was violated by the unauthorized use
of young girls picture in an ad-
vertisement. The girl in question
was unusually pretty, and claimed
that her picture had been used as a
cigarette advertisement without her
consent. a proceeding which was
strongly distasteful to her. The
courts decided, however. that she
had no redress except by the some
what roundabout road of libel
suit.
This is a case in which the law
seems to be all wrong. The right
of privacy is a peculiar sort o.
thing, anyway Many people are
ready to complain that 1t is violated
when anything in their private life
is made public. Obviously it would
be an endless Job to redress all
grievances of this sort. But ii
would seem that there ought to De
some law to protect a girl from the
practical insult of having her pic
ture published as a cigarette adver-
tisement when she did not wish for
such publicity. There are woman
enough who would be glad of 1T
without invading the sanctities Of
private life.
The case is in some ways different
from any other which would be like
" to come up. The unauthorized
publication of a mans picture does
not injure him, even if it is publish
ed in a cartoon. But even the most
unscrupulous comic artists recognize
the fact that to cartoon a woman is
a different matter, and as matter
of fact 1t has never been done Of
fensively except in France. where

ed the Indignation of all decent
minded people some years ago
When a girls picture is published
in connection with cigarettes. the in
ference drawn is that she consented
to such publicity. and even courted

not exactly mice" as the girl herself
might say. Hence she may justly
perhaps. bring suit for libel.

is BORROWING OR SAVING

To borrow one must have credit,

One may have had no needs yesterd ny,

the use of money NAV mean either
personal pecuniary relief or pecrl-

dollars may save man from bank

with one thousand dollars in hand a

holder several thousands. 1t is the
use of the money that counts.

tions. But Mr.. Sunday thought the peo-
pie needed moral joltIng. and he made
arrangements to preach to them for a
month. The first week the revival there
was rather a frost. Wheaton didn't
care much for funny stories, and It had
little curiosity to hear the preaching of
an ex-baseball player. So Mr.. Sunday
was forced to look into his resources
He loafed around the drug store and the
postofflce for a few mornings until he
got line on the moral condition of the
place. Then he permitted some of his
information to percolate through his
sermons. The consequence was that in
him.
Next he attacked Sunday golf in such
vigorous fashion tks: the capitalists
who use the links of the Chicago Club
found themselves without caddies on the
Sabbath day. Card playing and dancing.

You can't waltz to heaven he said.
-and neither can you two-step after you
get there. The lowest down rascal in

One night he ordered a group Of Free

another occasion he suggested that the
instructress Of the towns smartest

did. He jumped over the pulpit one
evening to illustrate the methods of an
old-time Methodist Episcopal "shouter."

Down to the swimming pool,
And some one grabs me, yelling Cam

The majority of people fail to get
true and full idea of the meaning
of the word ''thrift." They know but
one-half of the definition. Turn to
Webster and read it as there given:
"a thriving state; good husban-
dry" And for second definition
"SUcccss and advance in the acqrlisi-
ton of property; increase of worldly
goods, gain, prosperity" And for a
third: Vigorous growth"
Money is medium of exchange in
financial transactions. To get money
is the pursuit in which the entire busi-
ness world is engaged. Money III it
self is valueless. 1t is its use its
power as medium of exchange that
makes it of value
Now. if this is so, it stands to rea-
son that the man who has the use of
the most money is the one with the
most power. Mr. Smith may own
