What will all the girls who mar

that Richard Grant White, word
authority, says that a woman can't
marry" that she can only be mar
ried"?
Well, says Mr.. White:

been dissatisfied with this form, we
have seen: Married, John Smith
with Mary Jones; or John Smith and

saying that all of these forms are in

the man. II Is her name that is lost
In his, not his in hers; she becomes
a member of his family, not he OF
hers: II Is her life that Is merged, or
supposed to be merged, In his, not
his in hers; she follows his fortunes,
and takes his station, not he hers.
And thus, manifestly, she has been at

he to her; except, indeed, as all at

nevertheless, We do not speak Of tying

The EVENING Story

I phecy. Each day Billingsley tele
graphed an ingenious message, recit
ing the impossibility of writing al
present, but promising a masterpiece
of all the tender emotions on the NOR.
row. Mrs. Billingsley's responses
were coming in daily, at first fully un.
derstanding, forgiving and awaiting
the promised masterpieces, but finally
waxing impatient, skeptical and angry.
On the last day before Mrs Bill
lingsleys expected return, Billingsley
awoke to the fact that II was now too
late to get through the letter, even
If he had he resolution-which he
didn't. Therefore, he called a council
of war Everyone was feeling rather
dull and suggestions were few and i'm
practical.
If I only had the nerve to write 1t"
Billingsley groaned.
At this, Cobb sprang up with a
whoop. What's the matter with
this?" he exclaimed, fishing a fat, red
book from under the table. 1t was

by George!" cried Billingsley.
Pick out the best and longest"
They found 1t on page 1913, entitled
"Missive from a Devoted Gentleman
to his Wife Sojourning in the Coun-
try" and, as a poetic, tender master
piece, 1t was more than Billingsley
had promised. Billingsley tore out
, the whole three pages and raced to
the telegraph office. The tolls amount
ed to $4316, but Billlngsley paid with
out a murmur.
And he never regretted it. For Mrs.
Billingsley declared IL the sweetest,
dearest, tenderest message any wo-
man ever received-and she knew all
the time her big. lovable old bear was
fixing up a surprise for her.

king: Father, this is no monkey, but

changed herself into a dragon, all

of course, the wicked genie. turned
into an even larger dragon and pur-

until finally we heard one great roar,
and as the smoke cleared away we
saw the genie stretched dead upon
