MARRIAGE IS POPULAR

Answering the query, Why so many divorces9 Life offers six answers:
 First, because of the decline of authority. EY- erybodv in the country wants to be hls own boss, and is so. as far as possible. Nobody wants to obey unless obedience matches inclination.
 Second. because there are so many more ways than there were a generation ago for woman to make living.
 Third, because the price of living is so high. Men abandon their wives in shocking numbers because the job of maintenance is heavy and they get tired of it.
 Fourth, because women require much more and give less than they did a generation ago. They have been carefully endowed by the law in most states with rights and privileges proper to independence.
 Fifth. because distractions have greatly in creased in American life in a generation.
 Sixth, church influences, for the time being, are weaker than they used to be, and church influences favor continuity in marriage; dra- matic influences favor variety.
 There are plenty more reasons, but six are enough.
 The wonder is that, in the face of such con- vincing reasons as these, about nine marriages in every ten still hold good. All things consid- cred marriage seems incorrigibly popular even in this restless and progressive country. The united state being difficult and expensive to achieve, 1t is bad business for those who have at tained it to relapse back into the condition of the ununited.

HARMLESS, NECESSARY CAT

Archbishop Glennon says wife and parrot and an apartment do not constitute a home.
 But why not a cat insted of the parrot?
 The cat is the sign of home.
 Exclusion of eats from apartment houses is one of the surest signs that such places are not and cannot become homes.
 The parrot is an extraneous bird, not essential in home life, often disruptive of it, but the eat IS of the home part inseparable.
 The cat sleeping or purring contentedly in front of the family hearth has been the trade mark, the coat of arms, of the home for genera tions, and it is only since the feline became gradually to be eliminated that the American home in equal progression began gradually to disappear.
 Some responsibility for this may, perhaps. be justly charged to the substitution of the furnace for the open hearth fire or the glowing stove in the domestic heating arrangements
 There has ceased to be a hearth for the eat to slumber before
 She cannot lie on the register nor perch mon the steam radiator of the houses which still make pretense of being old-fashioned homes. while she cannot gain admittance to the imitation home apartment house at all.

MORE TAINTED MONEY

A Chicago charity has refused to accept legacy from a murderess on the ground that It IS "tainted money" All 'tainted money, has to % somewhere Why isn't charity the best use to which it can be putg
 Much cheap reputation has been galned py different institutions by declining to receive sstainted money" But there is great deal of cant about the whole business.
 It might be we'll enough to let "tainted mon ev" alone if nobody else would touch 1t. But somebody is sure to get it. The "taint :" follows the money. These refusals look too much like willingness to avoid contamination yourself while you rest serene in the consciousness that your brotheris going to be polluted.
 That is not Christianity.
 All money is more or less "tainted." {"
 There is not a single dollar which goes into circulation which is not liable to be put to base uses The fact is, money is mere counter on the poker table of life-a blind, senseless agent, in the strict philosophical sense incapable of either "tant'' or purity. Those who refuse to let money go where it can do the most good raise their morality. fence so straight that 1t leans over backward.

JUDICIAL GOOD TASTE

A judge in Nevada granted divorce to 2 cer- tam woman after she had complied with the technical requirements of the law of that state as to residence. A few days afterward the same judge was requested by the divorcee to marry her to another man. The fair petitioner added her wish that the judge be prompt in per forming the ceremony, as she and her new hns- band wished to start on their honeymoon trip by specified hour. She wished the locomotive to ring the wedding bell for her. The judge is described as unable to conceal his surprise. He

could fulfill his duty in obeying the statute which authorized the severing of the marital tie but he could not see his way clear to making another knot
 Quite properly, this, jurist did not base his decination of this extraordinary invitation up- on legal grounds. He appealed to the higher law of good taste. He pointed out that he could not bring himself to join in wedock to one man the woman whom he had just sundered from another. Such sequence of action, he ob- served, "would not look well.' Perhaps this judge is as ethical as he is aesthetic. He may not approve the act of the legislature, even though his oath of office exacts its observance. But his opportunity for exercising his own dis cretion came when the door was opened to an act of his own volition, and he declined to en- ter. It had become, not case of the law and the lady, but of the option of the untrammeled citizen It was the exercise of the right of a gentleman freed from the legislative trammels of the bench.

PUMPKIN PIE FOR THE GODS

There are those who do not like pumpkin pie.
 The cause may be in their natural depravty or in an unfortunate lack of education or III the fact that they never ate real pumpkin pie. In the younger generation this last pitiful reason is most likely the one really operative. For the pumpkin pie of our foremothers is, alas thing seldom tasted in these degenerate days. There are squash pies forsooth, and occasionally, when some restaurateur essays to give proof of his right to call his place New England kitchen, :" he puts on his bill of fare something miscalled pumpkin pie. Such connections can be easily found. Unpleasing to the eye, utterly neutral in odor, thin dribbing of muddy colored mush- mess confined in an atol of inedible crust, once tasted they are forever after pushed aside with abhorrence.
 Very different was the pie grandmother used to make" Never see such pastry nowa- days as that which she mixed and rolled out from flour and lard, both home produced, and both as pure and sweet as canny carn could make and keep them. And, for the ''fiIing," no common, 'any-old- thing willdo'' pumpkin was accepted. The pumpkin bin was looked over and over again till at last the one that ex actly met the requirement of her trained taste was picked out. It must be a big one: it must have just the right shade of ripened yellowness :: 1t must be hard to the thumb nail and solid to the pressure of the hands; it must be a wide ribbed globe with deep furrows running from pole to pole, all the better if these were lightly checked transversey with fine nettings it must nave the rich, fruity smell which phophesies of golden sweetness within. It was the sort which grandfather looked over with approving eve as she lad 1t down on the kitchen table. and which lea nm to say: "S pose ye c'n save them seeds mother? Guess they'd do to plant next year ;,
