LITTLE PROBLEMS OF
LOVE AND MARRIAGE
Is the International Marriage Likely to Prove Happy

Few expect the international marriage
where a title is exchanged for money 20
prove happy in the finest sense OF the
word. The parties are probably happy in
that each gets what he wants: the wo-
man, a title; the man, his price. There
is not likely TO be much love, In spite of
the protestations Of every one concerned
that it IS q love match; one doubts II
there Is even respect.
But international matches there are
where there IS neither money nor title
involved. They are not heralded in news
papers, and there Is no wild crush of a
mob at the wedding. Is the prospect
bright for happiness in such a marriage?
These are to be sure. usually love
matches and with love at the helm, a
marriage should be reasonably happy.
But man and woman Of different ma
tionalities have different viewpoints on
many matters. Each may wound the
other without knowing Il IN countless
ways, so differently do they regard many
things Of life. An American girl trans
planted TO Europe often finds it's Gus
toms and conventions most irksome. A

THE WEDDING RING.
How II Was Regarded on the IsIe Of
Mandolin WesIey's CourteaY.

How II Was Regarded on the IsIe OF
Mandolin wesIey's Courtesy.
From the London Chronicle.
In the Isle of Man the wedding ring
was formerly used as an instrument Of
torture. Cyril Davenport in his book on
'Jewelry' remarks that there once ex-
listed custom in that island according to
which an unmarried girl who had been
offended by man could bring him to
trial ana If he were found guilty she
would be presented with a sword. rope,
and ring. With the sword she might
cut off his head; with the rope she might
hang him. or with the ring she might
marry him. It is said that the latter
punishment was that invariably In
fiicted.'
The wedding ring, which was tolerated
by the Methodists. was anathema TO the
early Pnritans, who regarded personal
adornment as one OF the many snares of
Satan. Wesley, who was a High Church.
man. probably recognized its symbolical
value. In the old English marriage serv-
ice it was the custom for the bridegroom
to put the ring on the thumb OF his bride.
saying, I'm the name of the Father"
then on the next finger. saying, "and the
Son" then on the third finger, saying,
''and OF the Holy Ghost" finally on the
fourth finger. with she word, Amen"
The ring was left there because, as the
Sarum rubric says, "a vein proceeds
thence TO the heart" In the modern mar
riage service the ring is placed at once
upon the third finger, the invocation to
the Trinity being understood.
The wedding ring was the only form of
jewelry permitted TO the early Methodists,

ministers for breaking the rules of men,

Pretudlee Against sleep.

From the Family Doctor.
Why can some men sleep at will and
some nervous men, too, and others, some
times very heavy" men. with apparent
ly immovable nerves, are tortured by in
somnia7 Why. too. do some men seem
TO obtain SUFFICIENT rest with five hours
sleep, while others require nine? Do some
men sleep slow" as Mr.. Smedley jocu-
larry argued in one OF his amusing stories,
or do they actually require more sleep7
The popular prejudice against sleep
works an infinity of mischief. There are
plenty Of sluggards even among the cul-
tivated class, but the sleep sluggard is
In that class a very rare specimen. The
tendency of the educated is to wakefuI-
ness. and the man who does intellectual
work and exhibits what his friends think
is disposition to oversleep is obeying
a healthy instinct Sleep recuperates him
and he knows it.

FROM WOMAN'S
POINTOF VIEW

Everywhere is rebellion over the desire
OF employers for special dressing on the
part Of employees, and what the outcome
VIII be nobody can say. Employers need
workers and employees need wages. and
neither class can get along without the
other but the harder strain will fall
upon those who have no income save
earnings.
From the position of a rlere loolxer-on
It would seem that the man or woman
who pays wages has a right 10 personal
feelings even II unusual, provided they
do not encroach upon the self-respect OF
workers. We know that in the better
class OF shops saleswomen are requested
to wear black frocks In winter and are
permitted 10 change the black bodice for
q white one when warm weather sets
in. There is no rebellion In that quar-
ter because the custom is Iong-establish-
ed and general
The rule OF black for housemaids' wear
in the afternoon is almost as general
There are a few homes where light colors
are preferred by the family. and there
Is only an occasional grumbe from
women who have been thoroughly trained
to service. The vehement protests come
from workers who see no advantage in
wearing rubber heels. who think a wom-
an is fussy when she asks her enploys
TO have neatly combed hair aid clean
frocks and aprons. 1 know that house
work is dirty in places. but there are
big aprons to protect dresses and soap
too, there are numberless ways OF avoid
ing dirt.
