Darning Stockings.

Darning stockings is never a very
welcome task, and too often where
there is a large family the task seems
almost endless. The following method
will insure less darning, because the
darns being more secure will last
longer.
Before beginning to darn a hole,
tack a piece of coarse net tightly to
the stocking over the hole; then darn
over the net, and be sure to darn firm
into the stocking as we'll, to keep the
darn firm. The net makes such a good
foundation that the work is more
quickly done, and the result is q much
neater darn than one done in the old
way.

The Marriage Vow
WHY SOME WOMEN AVOID CUPID

surprising to be told that they have
kept women from marrying, yet the
statement is true. There are women
who have what is called instructive
virtue and who have no comprehen.

mans point of view. To such a one
it is monstrous that a man can be un-
true to her before marriage as after.
She knows no reason why he more
than she should seek illicit pleasures,
There are always in womanly
women two motives in marriage
strong within them, and it is often an
actual pain to act counter to them.
First of all is the desire for children.
After a woman has reached 30, unless
she is shallow creature she regrets
that she does not know motherhood.
A French woman once said to the
writer: "Of course, marriage is a
necessary evil. Women don't expect
to be happy with their husbands, but
then there are the children, and enc
lives again in them, and has Joy even
with the sorrow of years." and the
woman who is childless loses all this.

Then another inducement to the
self-supporting woman toward matri-
mony is the desire to belong to sone-

of her labors and the independence

is often stronger than her pleasure
in her work, her love of independence,
and all the reasons combined which
keep her single. Then weigh the bal
ance yet more with man whom she
admires, honors and loves, and there
is but one reason why woman does
not marry-she can not. Therefore,
if man wishes the data concerning
matrimony and educated women to
change he has simply to make him.
self the man whom a woman of mind,
heart and character will desire, and
surely it is better to be chosen as a
fine type of higher manhood than as
the payer of bills. The man, not his
money, is the compliment such a
woman pays him when she ceases to
be the woman who does not wish t0
marry. Let there be more men of that
| stamp and the woman will be un-
known who does not wish to marry.

MATRIMONIAL PARTNERSHIP
BY MRS. VIRGINIA VAN De WATER

with a tactful hand at the helm it ts
easy to steer around the rocks. These
rocks are, after all, usually nothing
more formidable than pebbles.
1t is hard to understand why the
early fathers did not enlarge the list
of seven deadly sins to eight, in order
to include nagging. Perhaps because
the example of Samson's fall through
much nagging was then so much
fresher in peoples minds as to render

Another rock whereon many a good

who love and trust each other is lack

All the sentiment in the world does
not mask the fact that marriage is a
contract.
Nor does the marriage state lose one
iota of it's solemnity and beauty by be-
ing a business contract instead of a
mere gilden thread of very fragile and
fragible love vows.
For only by following out the con-
tract idea and the partnership clause
therein implied can marital happiness
be made certain and permanent.
Sentiment in married life is very
beautiful. Without it such life is like
song-words without music. But when
sentiment ignores businesslike man
agement of domestic life it lapses
from sentiment (Which is the essence
of love) into sentimentality (whose
first letter is it's only connecting bond
with "sanity')!
True marriage should be Joint
partnership in which the party of the
first part" and the party of the Sec
ond part" should (as in regular busi-
ness firms) be permitted to do as he
or she pleases, allowing to the other
member of the firm the same priv
ilege; so long as neither does any,

and integrity.

nership do not quarrel daily as to
which shall rule. There is no ques-

is equality, and the harmony that
nothing but equality can bring. Nag
ging, too. is a conspicuously absent
quantity in the equation. Were two
men to plunge into endless disputes
as to which was really the ruler, and
were they to seek to win each point
by nagging, such firm might, with
rare good luck, endure for lone con.
