HOW TO AVOID. MATRlM0NY
kind-Hearted Soul Offers Some vaiu.
able Advice on the Matter,
Without Charge.

TO avoid getting married is a very
easy matter, either for man or a
woman. II you are man, frequent
the dance, especially the coming-out
Dance Stick to the debutante as
men Of liberal views stick to their
opinions. Hang around Conservatives
when the music Is playing soft and
low, and where there are intoxicating
odors. Hang around summer resorts
and attend musical recitals. There
are other things to do, but this should
be enough.
For a woman to avoid matrimony
is quite as easy She should live in
a college town, or Washington, D. c.
She should cultivate those young men
who wear yachting suits all summer
and who know what to do with their
hats on piazza; who are good at
buckling on skates, who ask II you
have heard this and that, who would
just as soon act as ushers at we'd
ding as not, who are perfectly willing
to explain the game of baseball, who
are willing to introduce other fel-
lows.
That's all you have to do to avoid
matrimony. But. in order to cinch
the matter it may be we'll to add a
few more words Of advice.
Ladies'! If a man comes along who
will not talk baseball with you; who
does not know anybody and does not
want to; who does not even play
bridge; who cannot even tell you who
are the richest girls at the summer
resort and just how rich they are !;
who never was an usher at wedding
and never will be-pass him the ice
pitcher! And do it quick! Then
go and hide!
Men! When you see girl who
hasn't got a crowd around her: who
wears no scalps upon her belt; who
subscribes to the T'"me Lady; who
knows how to set :. table for five in
cottage that cost $1,000; who can
give an appropriate Halloween party.
Beat it, my son! Beat it!-Puck

PHYSICAL and Psychical.

DR.. Farill, lecturing before social
service class in Chicago, said 1.-The
character of the man as citizen Oft
en- was dependent on the physical
training he received" Yes, but his
character was more dependent upon
the moral training he had received.
His environment, his studies, his as
sociations, his methods Of thought.
the books he reads, the things he likes
to talk about have more effect on his
character than all the physical exer-
cises he can pursue. Because sound
muscles, nerves and organs are to be
desired, they should not monopolize
ones interest entirely. The vanity Of
the flesh very often leads to the un-
dermining of ones life.
Building up the physical at the ex-
pense of the psychical is a disturb
ance of that equilibrium which means
health. The tendency of the age is
to disturb that equilibrium-to make
the legs of man the test Of his
mightness, which was not the Lords
way, as the Psalms remark. The right
way, in the determination of those i'm
portant relations, is to keep the soul
just little ahead of the body on
it's upward march

dition OF things. Sometimes the an
tagonism has been merely skeptical
and supercilious. In other cases it
has been deep and passioned.
Hard Knocks for the Turk.
The criticisms of the present govern
ment made by these British and
Americans has not been necessarily in
contrast with the old regime, but it
has been a criticism of the Turk as
a governing power. Neither is it to be
considered hostile to Islam per Sc, but

scores of predictions that the out
come of the present regime will be
utter failure. This state of mind on
the part of the principal foreigners
resident in Turkey must necessarily
be heavy drag on the wheels of the
government.
Another ominous and allied fact is
that the Christians in the Turkish en-
pire are emigrating by the thousands.
