Last night there was a very exciting
game on the local bowling alleys be-
tween the Seaweeds and the Whangdoo-
dies in the local league series The bow
ling was so close that no one could pick
the winner in any string until the last
ball rolled down the alleys. At the end or
the first string there was a shout for the
Whangs, for IT was found that they had
pulled out by a very narrow margin.
But the fact that they had lost the first
string seemed 70 arouse the Seaweeds
and they started i'm to pile up a score for
all they were worth. The Whangs when
they saw that they were forced got into
gear I'm good shape and did their prettiest,
but their opponents were too lucky for
them and succeeded in getting away with
two straight and the contest. There was
some great old fancy work done by the
bowlers on both sides and at the end OF
the game the scores Were so close that
they were figured up second time before
any one could be sure who was the win

made this. that and the other excuse to
host of others
IT is the turning point in her life and
she fully realizes It. She wonders within
herself II she could ever endure to have
any man ask: Where is the quarter l
gave you yesterday?' Perish the thought!
About one question of that kind and she d
show him who could make the most filthy
lucre in that family. anyhow. She argues
10 herself that marriage Is partnership.
Just because man is generally the bread
winner. the woman Is not necessarily
merely a prettily frocked doll that smiles
and pouts to order.
She must bear the burdens Of the house,
and would these multifarious duties be
less irksome than her present ones? Pos
sibly just six OF one and half dozen OF
the other.
So she promptly discourages her other
callers. to be sure with the utmost tact,
and encourages the selected one until
the time comes when she can announce
her engagement.
And just that minute the whole woman
changes. AS soon as she has irrevocably
given herself away she promptly COM

ion. 1t doesn't always pay to, be too over
bearing and there is nothing truer than
Pride goeth before fall"
And then the event OF all events is at
hand. If any friends are to witness the
ceremony it is infinitely better to go about
it In a practical, sensible fashion. The
bachelors apartment Is far too small and
too informal for such a great occasion
and there are mighty few married friends
who are generous enough to lend help
ing hand at this critical time. Weddings
always seem to be considered in the light
of a general upheaval. SO Miss Bachelor
should resort to the best an1 most appro-
pirate Of all pIaces-the church.
1t makes absolutely no difference how
plain the church ceremony may be or how
simple the reception. 1t is far better fern
to have 1t at the home OF q married
friend, SO that for the time being she
may act the hostess, or to dispense with
1t entirely. One thing or L . other.
1t stands to reason that every girl has
her own ideas OH this subject and she
may will to step out of her tiny quarters
a wife, and when 1t comes right down to
1t If she wishes it there really isn't any
good and sufficient reason why she
shouldn't be married at home and have
her wee breakfast and good wishes where
she has spent so many happy hours, but
always and under all circumstances some
married woman must take the place of
her mother, for she is the most important
fact-the chief guest at the breakfast
and the worries that beset every hostess
should not be permitted to enter or bother
her head She is the right honorable and
she must look and act the part.
And then come troubles. Manifold cares
that she never dreamed Of. In the first

place, she leaves her happy girIhood be-
hind her and steps into matronhood. with
its thousand and one new duties. Her
careless, free days are at an end, for her
new social responsibilities are much heav-
Ter and more weighty to carry. After one
or two huminatfng blunders, in which she
calls herself all manner of hard names,
she steadies down and has battle royal
with herself. and just about comes to the
conclusion that because her sex and her
station deprive her OF going into the
world at all times and to all places she'll
make her home so attractive and 30 al
Turing that the world will not snap It's
fingers at her, but instead will flock to
her home and learn Of her. Instead OF
crying for the moon she begins to realize
her responsibilities and she gradually sees
her immense advantages-wider by far
than they have ever been before. Her
single watchword is dignity. for she must
never fail to remember that the frolica
which were SO freely pardoned in a bach
elor would be frowned upon In a matron-
But she has her compensations. She
can play the grande dame to a finish All
she has to do Is to nod her head and, 10
and behold! she finds herself surrounded
by party Of merry folks at luncheon, at
theater parties or on automobile jaunts-
things that were utterly beyond her be-
fore, first on account OF her hours, sec
ondly because of the slimness Of her
purse and lastly because custom does not
smile upon forward girls of any class or
station.
To be sure tho merry beaux who
dropped In so carelessly must be held at
a distance. for just around the corner,

had. It's worse than foolish; it's abso-
lutely the top notch of folly. 1t stands to
reason that no one who has been accus-
toned to the conveniences and even the
luxuries Of life is going to be content
with the bare necessities. Love in cot
tage is all fine and daisy when the hearth
is rudy red and the table well laden,
but when the fire dies lower and lower
love Is more than likely to flicker and
flicker, making a brave fight to keep
alive, but finally dying a hard death.
So the bachelor must select a suitable
husband, one who VIII be well received
by her friends; one who is their equal In
every way. Failing in this she commits
a breach Of good sense. If not of good
taste, not only toward herself but toward
her family and those with whom she as
sociates as well
The length of her engagement should
be short. Madame Gossip gives but three
short months between the announcement
and the wedding. And II liberties are
taken with her she is very prone to offer
nothing short of downright rebukes Alas,
for frail human nature. Gossip knows
well enough that the wisest plan is to an
nounce the happy event and send the
wedding invitations rushing along like
Jack and his running rnate-and Jill came
tumbling after.
But really and truly, unless there is a
rattling good reason for delay, three weeks
only should follow the announcement and
the wedding invitations should be sent
speeding on their way and three weeks
later the Clergyman should have a chance
TO make life miserable forever after for

hand and heart are pledged to another.
Perhaps the most rigid rules that must
be followed in the course Of girls ca
reer are laid down right at this point She
is told by her devoted mischief making
friends that she mustn't do this and she
mustn't do that until she is ready to tear
her hair and Shrek aloud, What may

have enough troubless without adding
imaginary ones. and certainly at this time
of her life 1t is every girls undeniable

That is,s unless year has peacefully and

perfect propriety,
e And the reason a. what seems like far

twelve months all eyes arg upon her and
she feels somewhat Sss tRough she were

No matter how much one may dislike
the rules OF polite society, there Is no
getting away from scertain ones, so the
young matron might just as well make
up her mind TO gracefully submit and
send out "at home% cards at least once
a week during the first three months OF
her married life.
Her friends now must necessarily be

a degree hers also. Separate acquain-

she fancies. that perhaps these larger op-

urRF comes a time, but not until
hard labor has gotten in its dead
" work. that the bachelor girl
decides that she is very human,
n and she has q secret longing to
be a little more woman and not so much
man. After all, she is very like her sis
ters and sooner or later is forced TO ac-
knowledge TO herself that she keenly feels
the need Of companionship, and she fairly
longs 10 step out OF her limited life in her
fwo-by-four fat into something more pre-
tentious. something that was built for
more than one.
She argued at first, more TO reconcile
herself to her duties than anything else,
that man had larger opportunities. that he
wasn't bound by certain conventions and
thae there was no tradition which tieo
him 10 a certain place when he was Will

wasn't any Thus far shalt thou go and

her new life and independent mode OF liv-

Oh. such ideas are all very ft and fine
for awhile. but like all things else they
are very apt to wear out. especially II she
begins TO have one steady caller, and her
friends, one by one, gradually begin TO
drift away, leaving her to recognize the
fact that where there Is one best felloW
