EVERYDAY LOGIC.

Have you ever invited two people
in order to make them acquainted?
Have you ever ragged inwardly be-
cause the whole affair was such
failure?
Neither woman would take on any
subject save herself, and both sat in
the midst of long silence, staring at
each other, and then just as you had
given UP hope another woman drop
ped in casually, woman who was in
great demand everywhere.
All of a sudden you found out the
reason why. She took those two hu-
man icicles in hand, and the first
thing you knew she had them talking
to each other and then to her
Well, that is the secret of the aver
age woman's popularity.
She fits into any surroundings She
is at home with all sorts of people.
She makes them feel thoroughly at
ease and brings out the best in them.
That is why they love to have her
around.
1t is no fun to sit and listen to
woman who glitters at the expense of
every one else.
But the woman who says just
enough to make US respond on the
subjects we know most about in. our
best vein is the one we simply adore,
and we can't be in her company too
much

REAeoN's FOR DIVoRcE7

Answering the query. Why SO
many divorces. Life offers six an
swers: First, because OF the decline
Of authority. Everybody in the coun.-
try wants to lie his own boss, and is
so, as far as possible Nobody wants
to obey unless obedience matches in
clination. Second, because there are
SO many more ways than there We're
generation ago for woman 10
make living. Third, because the
price of living is so high. Men
abandon their wives in shocking num-
bers because the job of maintenance
is heavy and they get tired of it.
Fourth, because women require much
more and give less than they did a
generation ago. They have been
carefully endowed by law in most
states with rights and privileges
s,roper to independence Fifth, be-
cause distractions have greatly in
creased in American life in a genera
ton. Sixth, church influences. for
the time being, are weaker thar. they
used to be, and dramatic influences
are more pervasiVe. Church influ-
ences favor continuity in marriage;
dramatic influences favor variety.
There are plenty more reasons, but
six are enough. The wonder is that,
in the face of such convincing rea-
sons as these, about nine marriages
in every ten still hold good. Ali
things considered. marriage seems in
corrigibly popular even in this rest
less and progressive country. The
united state being difficult and ex-
pensive to achieve. it. is bad business
or those who have attained to it to
relapse back into the condition Of
