And Art shall awaken and Love shalt

Dream Punches

Mrs, Mollie Smith OF Anderson. Ind,
was painfully bruised and required the
attention of physician because her hus-
band Allen w, smith, clerk. dreamed
that vicious horse was trying TO bite
him, With clenched fist the husband
twice struck his wife with all OF tho
strength he could summon. Mrs Smith
screamed aud awakened her husband,
but she tainted before he could explain.
After Mrs smith was revived and told
OF her husband attacking her he recalled
that he dreamed horse was trying to
blto him In the face, and TO protect
himself he struck at the animals nose.
Mr.. aud Mrs. Smith have always lived
happily. and Smith feared his friends
would not understand his explanation.

about horse hitins a blacksmith while
the animal was being shod, and the
news item seemed to impress him

early marriage that 1t would be worth
while sending girls TO college Just to
put them in a place where they would
be safeguarded until they reached the
age OF discretion, IL the college gave
them nothing else save protection.
Also the college GIRL being older
and wiser when she marries than the
ordinary girl, goes about making a
happy home more definitely. II she
sets nothing else from the history she
has studied she has acquired a few
pointers on the vagares of men, and
so she does not trust to luck, but to
skill, in looking after her own hus-
band and keeping him fascinated.

college wedding a grand sweet song
belongs to the woman. A lot Of II

In reality making a home is a learned

great task too broad and profound
knowledge because It includes every other

all that she knows OF languages TO make

Steenas and Francescas and Dolores that

all OF her knowledge of hygiene and germ
theories In stsriliEing her baby's bottles;
she will need all Of her law TO settle the
disputes between her ehildren;. she will

The College as an AntidOte for Divorce
BY DOROTHY DIX.

The women's colleges are calling attsn-
tion to the fact that the higher education
Of girls appears to be specific for do
nestle misery. The records OF Vassar
college show that not single graduate
, OF that institution has ever figured In the
divorce courts, while the other women
colleges make almost as good show
ing. the number OF divorces among their
elumnae being almost negligible.
This should settle the ancient fallacy
that to give girl a good education I'M
fitted her to be wife, for these statistics
certainly indicate that II the college girl
does not marry as frequently as her SIS
tiers, she stays married more often.
Many explanations may be offered for
this phenomena. The NEST obvious, of
course, Ia that the trained reasoning
power Of the college woman Is better
fitted to solve the domestic problem than
NE undisciplined mind OF the poorly
educated woman. aud that therefore she
Omaha daily bee., 1911-11-14

much later in life. The college woman
practically never marries under twenty
five, and by that time her character is
formed, her taste settled. and she knows
what she wants and requires In a hus-
band.
A girl of sixteen or twenty will marry
o man because he dances the two-step
well; because he has a black mustache,
or looks like a clothing advertisement
picture. Then whom she comes to her
self, when she is woman grown, she
finds that she has ugde colossal mis-
take, that there Is net one thought or
Ideal or aspiration ia common between
them Inevitably they quarrel. nevitat-
ably the bonds between them come to be
the letters of prisoners. And only too
often the disillusioned, heart-hungry
woman meets up with . man that is her
real mate, and then TIN re is divorce and
affinity scandal
The late marriage has so much better
chance Of being success than the

will need all OF her self-controi that q
thousand colleges could teach her to hold
her peace In those situations when a sin

IL Is not only conceivable, but iueyita-
Die. that woman who has been taught
20 think and reason VIII be the CAPITA n
OF her soul under conditions that would
send another woman into ny teTics. Also
college life gives girls the education OF
association with other people, which Is
sust as valuable as anything 10 be
fIeaTnsd from books. It teaches women
20 be comradely-a virtue which women
seldom possess.
Another reason why the college woman
is less apt TO make the sort Of marriage
that ends In divorce than her stay-at-
home sister Is because she marrtes so
