Ideals Before Marriage.

to lind prevalent discussions as to why
marriages fall Some one Is thinking
deeply upon this problem. and some
one Is waiting for a message about 1t

partial blame for marriage failures to
the male member Of tho partnership.
Where there Ii free choice for both It
would certainly seem dogmatic to lay
the blame for an unhappy alliance
upon either the husband or the wife.
The Englishwoman above cited says
plainly that man ought to know
what he Is doing when he chooses q
wife. II Is equally plain that a wom-
an should know what she Ia doing
when she accepts the man who has
chosen her for q life partner.
Marriage Is often called a lottery,
but not solely on account Of the lmms-
diate uncertainties involved. The cast

A Wasp's Mistake.

1t Is generally supposed that Instinct
unerringly teaches birds and insects
the best way In which to build their
homes or nests and also to provide for
their offspring. The following Incl
