Ragtime and Gin-RicIkey Wed
dings.

Not many years ago the story
was told in the daily papers Of q
young man ann young woman
who Insisted that at their wedding
ragtime be substituted for the ira
ditional march. This was done,
and the guests trOOped gayly to
and from the improvised altar, the
bride and bridegroom leading the
way, to the steps Of cakewalk.
A short while ago g wedding
took place in Denver, COL, as the
result OF . ''dare." "I'll dare you
to marry me today" said q man
| to q woman he had met that morn
ing. ~ never took dare In my
life," she replied; and 90 they
we're married.
The other day in Stamford,
Conn.,, a well.to.do citizen Of At
lanta, Ca, and young woman OF
New York dashed up to hotel 10
a carriage, jumped out and hur
ried into a restaurant. They call
ed for gin rickeys and ginger ale,
and while they quenched their
thirst were joined by justice OF
the peace with whom All appoint
meDt had been made by wire.
They put down their glasses, JOIN
ed hands and we're flippaDtly but
legally pronounced man aid wife.
The ''ragtime" wedding, the
"dare" wedding and the ''gin
rickey' wedding may all be &C.
cepted as signs OF sad misconcep
tion Of the seriousness OF marriage.
They are closely related to Chica'
go's est. Joe" wedding. They
are entered into by persons who
have little respect for the marriage
vow, and none for the church that
sanctions it. They are marriages
CT convenience, OF caprice or Of
mere bravadO.
The man who agrees to wed a
woman to the strains OF "coOn"
song, or on dare or in a restau
rant over their emptied liquor
glasses neither respects nor hon
ors her; and, save in exceptional
Gu SEES, will be as quick to desert or
iii treat her as he was to marry
her.
The woman who will agree to
make joke Of her wedding, one
of the few momentous steps Of her
life, eau not expect her friends to
treat the matter seriously, and she
has little logical excuse for com
plant if the husband who accept
her so lightly prove himself lack
ing In all sense OF morOl response
bility.
The man who dares woman To
marry him will probably dare her
| to leave him the moment his do
nestle responsibilities become irk
some. Having entered lightly in
to the bargain, he will feel that h
may as lightly step out OF it.
The man who has ragtimi
wedding will lead a ragtime mar
ried life. 1t will be lively, and il
will breed scandal. The gin rick

The news that the recent earth
quake OF the Chilean coast com
pIetel, destroyed the island Of
Juan Fernandez, known historic
ally as Robinson CrusOe's IL
laud," will cause sighs Of regret
in the hearts OF many millions Of
men aud women and boys and
girls who have been enthralled by
DeiOe's fascinating story.
To he sure, there never was such
person az "Crusoe," but there
was an Alexander Selkirk, or Sell
craig, and to all intents and pur
poses he was the hero OF our child
hoods romance.
SelkirK was an English mariner,
AVID engaged in priVAteering expe-
dltiOns 10 the South Seas. 1t is
said that in 17O4, as sailing mas
ter OF the Cinque Ports, he had a
quarrel with the captain OF the
vessel, and at his own request was
pnt ashore upon the island Of Juan
Fernandez, where he remained
tour ears, being rescued by a
British vessel.
1t was upon his return to EGG
land that he met Defoe, who
founded his famous story upon the
experiences related by the return
ed exile. To be sure, the author
transferred the scenes OF the story
to an imaginary island Ia the Car
Eibbean Sea, but it is believed that
many of the adventures of Robin
son Crusoe were in reality actual
experiences OF Selkirk on his lone
ly island, $50 miles west OF Valpa-
also.
For rearly two centuries the
children of all civilized lands have
read Robinson Crusoe'' with the
absorbing interest that only chill
dren know. Many generations
have been born. have lived and
died, yet the immortal story ie
just as wonderful to youthful fam
cy as when it was hurried from the
pen of the author to the London
Post in 1913 All the world over
little eyes have scanned the de
lightful pages, and little hearts
have been aflutCer with excitement

childish memories, and we can not
but feel little tug at the heart

determined that when we grew up

Now we shall never, never see
it. 1t is swallowed up in the
breast OF the sea, az adventurer
