II there are any women in the world
who have a right to die OF ennui 1t is
those poor creatures Of Afghanistan,
the upper class danes. They spend
their days doing absolutely nothing.
for they disdaln sewing. cooking and
general household duties. They leave
the care of their children to slaves.
and they can neither read nor write.
Generally in rich house there is
one chief slave. sort of housekeeper,
rather a grand person, whom it is al
ways wise to conclllate II you intend
having many dealings with that estab-
lishment. In summer she Is always
dressed in purest white. In winter
velvets and brocades are not beyond
her reach. She is generally an elderly
person. with considerable influence and
q good deal of authority.
Then there Is another who Is a sort

wise to quarrel, She Is always very
much in evidence, She II is who pre-

wife's special duty and privilege, how
ever, when the things are prepared
to wait upon her husband when he is
dressing. to pour the water over his
hands and feet during his religious
washings, to spread his prayer carpet,
to put his favorite dish before him,
and 50 on.
II IL difficult to appreciate the exact
position Of these Afghan women until
one sees the way In which mothers
are treated by their sons. They may
nurse them when they are sick. tend
them when they are young. but let the

old and you viii hear them tell their

Kabul mothers seldom have much
affection for their children or their
children for them. They do not nurse
them as babies, and their babyhood q

"A Thoroughbred Tramp" :"

A good laughing performance may
be expected at the Emporium Opera
House, Friday, March Is, on the pre-
sentation of Elmer Walters successful
western play ga Thoroughbred
Tramp. This piece seems to have
sufficient strength to live indefinitely.
The play has been seen again and again
only to find each succeeding season
more prosperous. To Rush Thompson
the tramp portrays a ruined jealous
husband who has misjudged the actions
of wife in her attempt to save his sister.
The piece contains pleasing hero and
heroine, the ever scheming gambler
william a chick soubrette and a popular
Dutch Character; the scenery of which
there promises to be an abundance. 1t
is said the scenery adds much to the
success of tbs play.

EMPORIUM, PA. THURSDAY. MARCH A. 1907
The Value of Courtship.

In the latest number of one of the
magazines published by the University
of Chicago Press there is valuable
discussion of social duties relating to
the family. Speaking of the value of
courtship the writer says: "Courtship
is made all the more frivolous by the
current mode of speaking and thinking
of divorce. If marriage can be lightly
dissolved, then a mistake in selecting
a wife or accepting a husband, it is
imagined, will not prove very serious.
But courtship which does not mean
fidelity for life is like rose with a
worm eating out its heart like a tree
growing in scant soil. The very idea
of divorce, covert under all the protes-
tations of undying devotion, and only
endangers the stability of marriage,
but degrades courtship itself and turns
the solemn vows of lovers into heart
less hypocrisy. A tacit lie turks in
every word of affection, and robs the
happiest and sweetest moment of all
the fresh bloom of sentiment. The very
phrase trial marriages." vecently
made popular, is rank poison. Mar
riage of criminals are all ''trial mar
riages," as those of brutes and savages
are. Even hint of descending to
those neither regions for rule of life is
a disgrace and degradation.
''In the stage of courtship wise and
good young women have great educa-
tional power. Let us have one genera
ton of young women sensible and self
possessed enough to think and to re-
ject from all friendly companionship
young men who are Incorporate, un-
clean, n profane, course; and the
next generation, if not so numerous,
would reflect more luster on the re-
public. The woman who marries a
man to reform him has taken a viper to
warm at her heart. The son of mill
lionaire is likely to imagine that he
need not be virtuous because he can
gain the hand of good woman on ac-
count of his riches The divorce courts
are witnesses of tragedies arising from
such blunders on both sides. Alimony
is poor substitute for the happiness
of rational marriage"
