SECOND MARRIAGES
BY Dorothy Fenimore

arrangement, entered upon solely Tor
the material advantage Of both con-
tracing parties.
There is no love in such union to
begin with, but a deep and enduring
affection may in time develop.
Yet. in general second marriages
to-day are founded upon sentiment.
The fact that widows do not positively
have to marry in order that they and
their children may live-added to the
fact that because small families are
now the rule, widowers can manage
to worry along without helpmates-
puts remarriage upon a new basis.
Romance and love appear upon the
horizon. A chance is given for the
poignancy of grief to change into that
loneliness of spirit and that restored
sense of personality which, taken to-
gether, invite love.
Love is not the prerogative of youth
any more than are the charms which
inspire it. There are many women
who are far more attractive 10 men
in maturity than they were as de-
butantes. In this the fair sex has the
encouragement of famous precedent.
Helen of Troy was never heard of
until she boasted two-score years.
Anne of Austria was adored as the
most beautiful woman in Europe
when she was 38. Nine. Recamier
was at her zenith at 40.
Men, on the other hand, notably
acquire distinction with years; often
they are better qualified at 45 or 80
to excite Q tender passion in womans
heart than they were in callow youth.
The sentiment which leads to
second marriage, however, may be
only on one side. Men are more ca
pable of marrying for love a second
time than women are.
The latter are not unlikely to be
influenced by motives like those to
which the naive Lady" Crittenden,
a Kentucky matron of the early half
of the last century, confessed
Il have been married three times,
and in each alliance I have got just
what 1 wanted" said she ingenuously.
My first marriage was for love, and
it was mine as fully as l could wish;
my second for money, and heaven was
good TO me III this instance; my third
was for position, and that too, is
mine. What more could L ask"
What more, indeed" humorously
exclaims her modern chronlcler.

WIFE MAY SEARCH HER
HUSBANDS POCKETS

Magistrate Kochersperger of Phila-
.delphia believes 1t is a wife's preroga-
tive to search her husbands pockets
but that a husband has no right to look
into his wife's pOcket-book without her
permission, says the North American.
He expressed the opinion in disposinG
of the case of John S. Williams, who
was before him charged with threaten
ing his wife.
Williams said that all of the trouble
between him and his wife was due TO
a slip Of paper which he happened to
find in her pocketbOOk.
Don't you know" said the Magis-
trate sternly to the prisoner, that you
have no right to search your wife's
pocketbook? 1 believe 1T is a wifes
prerogative to search her husbands
pockets, but husband should not look
into his wife's pocketbook unless she
gives him permission to do So"
Williams was too surprised to make
any answer. He was required to enter
bail to keep the peace.

matter what the pay
Might be- because I should so hate to
hear what people say.

He's sure to start wall of woe, no mat
ter what he does,

things at least as high?
Considered as a matter of public
importance this complex question has
an atmosphere Of newness. Hitherto
il has been considered peculiarly fit
for individual decision. Our Ameri-
can forbears did not look upon re-
marriage as IN affair worthy of gen
eraI comment. It frequently occurred,
and that was all there was to it.
Divorce and its results aside, second
marriages are less common among the
educated classes of the United States
to-day than they were formerly-for
the simple reason that nowadays NOR
taIity of wives is less. In colonial
days il was as much a matter of
course for d mother To die young as
it was for a maid to marry young.
Professor 7. L. Smith of Clark Uni
versity showed last year by an inter
esting array of statistics that it took
three, four or even five wives to
bring up the "old-fashioned family
of an early college alumnus Of our
country.
The economic Conditions in those
days were such that remarriage was
a necessity for both men and women.

This is being done throughout Texas, the Indian Terri- tory and Oklahoma. and the leading plant CTS of this section urge upon the farmers and take some step to hold the remainder of the crop until there is sufficient demand for 1t to bring the price where it ough. to be.
 The best and most successful growers in this section say that the price of labor, mules and feed Is such that cotton can not be grown for the price now offered It Is urged that the State papers take this matter up and urge the cotton planters of the various counties to meet in convention on Dec. 17th and resolve themSelves into 4 protective association.

The story of the rise of the Roths- childs Is as remarkable as any in fic- tion. The first of the family to be- come a banker was Mayer Anslem Rothschiid. who was born in Frank fort in 1748. His father kept store- and he worked in 1t. but it was the pa- rental desire that he become rabbi.
 He entered the banking house of Op- penheim at Hanover. where he served his apprenticeship. and later he return ed to Frankfort and opened an estab- lishment of his own.
