ence. There is no apparent reason
why two young people accustomed
from the cradle to ease and luxury and
the advantages in travel and educa.
tion naturally resulting from the pos.
session of large means, should not
sincerely love each other and be con.
genial. They have had the same careful
training, the same liberal education,
and have mingled in the same set
from the first dancing class to the
whirl of social pleasure In which they
find themselves as youth and maiden.
To fancy that there Is no such thing az
real love among the rich and fortunate
in this worlds goods Is to make very
stupid mistake.
Probably second marriages, and
marriages that are contracted in mid.
die life, and even later, are most
deeply marked by motives other than
sentimental. A man loses his wife.
and having house full Of children
discovers, after year or more OF
loneliness, that he is at the mercy OF
servants, that his children are neglect
ed and are falling into habits Of unre
straint.
Often such a man, in sheer despair,
proposes marriage to his housekeeper,
who has, at least, made him fairly
of government over the children. This
is marriage of convenience, purely,
yet 1t not infrequently turns out very
comfortably for everyone, husband and
children alike thriving under the good
management of wife and mother who
may not have inspired romantic love
at first, but who wins esteem and re.
spect, which are good foundations for
genuine affection.
Nevertheless a marriage of this var.
iety Is an experiment, and 1t is some.
times dangerous one. No intimacy
on earth equals that of marriage. No
shipwreck is SO pitiful as that of a
home. When mistakes are made with.
out the excuse of,impulse, and with q
certain elaboration, people who are
decent must accept the consequences
Of their folly with what dignity they
can. To make the best of bad situa.
ton is sometimes all that is left, and
for the sake of family honor there
should be no proclamation of misery
to the four winds.
We shall never as a nation arrive at
point where we shall regard mar
riages of convenience as anything be-
yond wretched makeshifts. As a ma.
ton we are sentimentalists, and we
take pride in being so. There was not

Only Child of Former Mayor SuceumbS to Disease Which

Alter suffering for the past six weeks from disease, the nature of which baifled the power of diagnosis of several od the leading local physi- clans. Clara Taylor, the 13-year-old daughter of Former Mayor and Mrs. John s. Taylor, died at the home of her parents last evening at about s:30 o'clock. F Hfs#H
 The child was taken sick about six weeks ago, and the parents called in the regular family physician. Symp- toms of high fever were apparent, but just what was the cause of the trouble the doctor admitted he could not solve, and called one of his colleagues into consultation. Still the case was shrouded in mystery as far as giving an accurate diagnosis was concerned, and the physicians called in other members of the medical fraternity in the city, but no definite conclusion was ever arrived at. except that the child was suffering from very high fever. ' .E.-E. -
 Within the past week the condition of the small patient grew steadily worse; all of the care that loving pa rents for their only child could exert was used and in addition to this the phyicians endeavored to stay the hand of death, but without avail. The child passed quietly away at J:30 o'clock last evening. -#
 No arrangements for the funeral have been made as yet.

The voting closes each evening at II o'clock. and when the last bulletin was posted last evening the three leaders stood in the same relative positions as they oc- cupied at the conclusion of voting on the previous evening. The vote was as follows: Miss Hayward, Sl2; Miss Florence whitecotton, 794, and Mrs. J. J. Walsh, 263.
