OF CHASTITY NEW
PHASE OF TRIAL
By DOROTHY DIX.

NEW YORK. Feb. 2i.-'when Stan
ford White told me that all women were
bad. and that the only difference be-
tween them was that some were found
out, and others were not, I believed him
implicitly. Until I was eighteen and a
half years old. ! believed that there
were no good women. / thought that
l was better than others because my
wrong doing had nos been voluntarily
1t nad beer forced upon me.

CONDUCTED BY REV. G. II. Will
SON, OF DE kALB, ILL.
Object of Pastor Is TO Impress Young
Folks with Solemnity of Mar
Vows-Simple Wedding
Becoming Popular

Chicago. - Rev. George II. VIII
son, pastor of the CONGREGATIONAL
church at De Kalb, conducts
unique school for young people
whom he expects to marry. The
object of this is to impress them
with the nature and the solemnity of
the VOWS they take ON themselves
when they become man and wife.
When a prospective groom APP
proaches the minister and engages
him to perform the ceremony, the
pastor gives him a printed sheet on
which is printed the form of marriage
ceremony that he will use. He asks
the man to read over the words to
show the sheet to his prospective
bride she may know what she is ex-
pected to promise whom she appears
before the man who IS to join her and
her lover for all time.
This sheet contains a service with
or without the use of ring, but in
the event of the use Of either the
binding words are given out four or
five weeks before the wedding, but if
there is but single day intervening
between the engagement of the parson
and the wedding both of the contract
ing parties are given the service and
allowed to look it over
After the wedding is over the bride
is given certificate and with it is
given another of the printed sheets.
1T is a good thing" said the Rev.
Mr.. Wilson, for husband and wife
to look at this little sheet of paper
once in a while. 1t freshcns the mind.
and they think over again the words
and the meaning of the brief cere-
mony that started them in the welded
path. If married people would only
think more and more of what they are
about to promise and then what they
have promised, | think there would
be a great deal more of welded bliss
This pastor believes in a simple
wedding, He saya that hundreds of
couples nowadays really want to get
rid of the fuss and feathers of a we'd
ding event. They want to be mar,
ried quietly and go to housekeeping
without allowing either fad or fash,
ion to prescribe the way.
Frequently couples drive from

Probably few visitors to the zoos
of our larger cities who see the peN-
cans solemnly sitting round their
small, round, concrete pond which
has to do duty for their native lagoon,
know that these great birds, SO unique
in many ways, still live in a wild state
and nest within the confines of Eu-
rope. Their large size, heavy. un-
wieldy-loOking bodies, enormous beaks
with the curious pouch, and general
aspect, give the idea of remote parts
