HOW TO AVOID MATRIM0NY
kind-Hearted Soul Offers Some Valu-
able Advice on the Matter,
Without Charge.

To avoid getting married Is a very
easy matter, either for a man or a
woman. II you are a 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
doors. 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. G.
She should cultivate those young men
and who know what to do with their
hats on a 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 a we'd
ding as not, who are perfectly willing
to explain the game Of baseball, who
are willing to introduce other fell
lows.
That's all you have to do to avoid
matrimony. But, in order to cinch
the matter 1t may be well to add a
few more words of advice.
Ladiesl II 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 a wedding
and never will be-pass him the ice
pitcher! And do 1t quick! Then
go and hidel
Men! When you see girl who
hasn't got a crowd around her; who
wears no scalps upon her belt; who
subscribes to the I'"me Lady; who
knows how to set table for five in
a cottage that cost $1,200 who can
give an appropriate Halloween party,
Beat it, my sonl Beat it!-Puck.

DR.. Farill, lecturing before a social
service class in Chicago, said "the
character of the man as a 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 I'm
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 n 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
its upward march.

quoted could easily be discovered, and
they would be made to feel the heavy

Before proceeding to quote these
men. I may state one ominous and
related fact, viz: Every foreigner
whom have met in Turkey--and l
have interviewed hundreds-has
shown himself hostile to the present
government. This is an amazing con-
dition of things. Sometimes the an

and supercilious. In other cases 1t
has been deep and passioned.
