Dardanus, which used to stand on the
eastern side. 1t is really narrow
channel separating southeast Europe

Guided between the five great powers

no ship of war belonging to any nation

government, and all merchant ships
were required to show their papers to
the Ottoman authorities. These proVl-
sions were ratified at London in 1871

PERSONS WHO SHOULD
NOT GET MARRIED.

Where the young woman married is
the young woman marred, to para
phrase a well known saying, in the
greater majority OF instances she has
only herself to blame. Matrimony is
not the raison d'etre Of every woman
on the earth, only, unfortunately for
herself and her husband, woman does
not realize this until after the letters Of
wedlock have been forged beyond the
power Of human aid to break.
One type of girl by whom marriage
should be avoided is the girl with an
ambition, the girl who feels she was
destined for some other and loftier
calling than experimenting the details
of a household. guiding and guarding
the frailties of nursery and general
~ caring for and comforting an Oft
times disagreeable, worried man.
Where an ambitious girl consents to
marry the promise is nearly always
won by a lovers vow that his shall be
the strong mans hand to help her wo-
mans strength along the difficult road
to fame.
She marries and finds in place of the
aiding hand and inspiring love Of
promise either active opposition or
She soon realizes, with an anguish Of
bitterness, that the man wanted a help
mate for himself, her life and its indi-
vidual interests playing no part In his
Then she has either to forsake ambt-
ton or else pursue a path to fame that
marriage has rendered thousandfold
sleeper and more difficult by raising
on every hand obstacles to success.
The man imbued with that popular
fallacy which AYERS that the income
which barely suffices to keep one will
finance two and possible third Is one
OF the many men who ought to keep
single. His ideas are purely selfish. for
marriage with him means that the wife
will either be forced to supplement his
slender resources herself or else con-
sent to drudge morning, noon and night
to make two impossible ends meet.
