FOREWARNED is FOREARMED
Courtship Should Be the Time for a Study of
Character

BY DOROTHY DIX.

1t is one OF the greatest misfortunes
in life that young people use the time
of betrothal exclusively for billing and
cooling instead of in trying to get a
line on each others peculiarities and
weaknesses. If they did they would
save themselves much future unhappi-
ness, for every man and woman hang
out enough red danger signals, if any
thing is wrong with them, to warn off
the party of the other part from en-
tering into binding contract with them,
IL only the parties of the other part had
enough gumption to read the signals.
Take, for instance. the man is no ac-
count, and is lazy, and shiftless. He
doesn't really develop those qualities
after he is married, and his wife is
not the unexpected victim of his in
competence, as she thinks he is. She
was warned, good and plenty, by the
fact, had she chosen to notice d. that
he never had made a success of any
thing. He never had Kept a job, and
he was forever changing about from
one occupation to another. BY the time
a man is old enough to marry he has
hung a signboard around his neck that
tells any woman who takes the trouble
to do in the world. II his father has
had to support him that far, his wife
will have to support him the balance of
his life.

Every woman hasn't a summer home to
which she may transport her family dur
ing these sweltering days of summer, nor
is II possible to every family to leave
the city for any sort of refreshing change
of scene and air during the hot months.
Because of these things the stay-at-
home makes a big mistake to sign away
the time in useless complaints.
The time were better spent in so sum-
merizing the city home that the family
will feel less sensibly a need of change
6nd other surroundings.
If we cannot go to a cooler cline and
enjoy fresh scenes, We can at least meet
the situation and make ii much less try
ing by frightening and freshening the
house.
1 have heard many a woman assert
that the man of the house was not affect
ed by his surroundings as he was so
little at home.
Mistaken Belief.
This is a mistaken belief. While he
may nat be conscious of his surround
angs he is being subsconsciousIy influenc-
ed by them, and any woman who makes
the effort to have his home attractive
and sweet and fresh during the summer
months, will be well repaid for her effort
by the mans better ability to cope with
his downtown duties while the hot
weather lasts.
A certain practical little woman whom
know refused to leave her husband
this summer to accept an invitation to
spend a month in the mountains, because,
she said, he would always find the house
'istuffy'' whenShe got home at night, and
there would be nothing to divert his at
tention from his work through the long
not month that she was away.
'T don't strip the house OF everything
attractive just because the weather is
hot" she told me, but I do alter its ap-
pearance to suit the season.
Il put away the hot looking draperies
and rugs, and little OF the unnecessary
bric-a-brac, and even the stuffy table
covers, for the sleam Of polished wood is

kettle and tea cups is dispensed with

Women Have Brains and Conscience.
Ideally, ballot casters should have two
qualities, virtue and wisdom. To be wise
enough to know what constitutes the
public welfare and conscientious enough
to lend 1t ones aid, are all the require
ments for a modern Utopia. Brains and
conscience make voters. Let our ad-
versaries say in which we are deficient.
They are forced into one Of two po-
sitions, and either leads hastily to a
springtrap, in which not-eYen the noisiest
among them cares 20 find himself con-
fined. The silver-tongued speaker who
INDUCES in wild flights on womar's wom-
anliness and the dazzling brightness Of
feminine character dares not say that
she lacks virtue, for it Is his oratorical
speciality and her chiefest characteristic,
If his doctrine is good for anything. He
must then say she is wanting IN intelll-
gence, knowing enough only to be good,
but not enough to do good. This being
an equally untenable and undesirable po-
sition, he Immediately and invariably
tries to make himself safe and popular
by backing up, so to speak, and ad-
mitting that she does untold private good
as household queen and ministering an
gel, but is not fitted to be an agent OF
public good. Reason demanded. lack Of
experience alone can be offered. So the
whole of what pretended to be violent
and weIl-founded opposition resolves itself
in the sitting to no other claim than that
woman has no experience as a voter.
Whose fault, pray. is that? Is it not
unreasonable to deny and yet demand the
same qualification?
Let us leave the question as first stated,
why shouldn't women vote?"

INVENTORS NAMES
1t Affords Delightful Relax
alton on Summer Days.

Talking of inventors reminds me to
wish that somebody would invent de-
vice for directing the sun rays upward
instead Of downward" writes a puzzler,
who declares Just the same that the puz-
BILE has been sufficiently diverting to
make her forget how persistent Is the
sizzling Of the sun, which 1 believe has
proven true of every one who has entered
the contest this week.
There is nothing so effective in making
one forget an uncomfortable spell Of heat
as to keep the mind occupied, and what
could be a more delightful occupation
than finding in the twenty-six mystic de-
scriptions given in the puzzle the names
Of men who have left the mark Of their
inventive genius with US for all time?
Forget Heat in Puzzle.
OF course, there are some folks who
have declared that it was entirely too
hot" this week to work out a difficult
puzzle, but these are Just the sort Of peo-
pie who make themselves twice as warm
by fussing over tho weather.
Forget it,
You will find it an easy matter to for
get 1t If you think about the puzzle in
stead.
The children are brave little tads, ignor-
ing everything-weather and a little diff
cult puzzle this week-except that one
bright silver dollar that looms large and
shining on their horizon.
They certainly are determined to get It,
and, Of course. one of them will.
Cannot Wait Until Sunday.
Gee, I don't believe I can wait until
Sunday" one small lad told me over
the phone yesterday. It's just awful
waiting after your list of answers is
sent. Couldn't you tell US just this once
as soon as the contest closes?" he begged
winsomely, and am sure I came very
near forgetting the great pile Of solu-
tions all marked with the time of their
arrival. that will have to be gone through
with so much care when the contest has
closed at noon on Friday. I came SO
near forgetting that I was just about to
promise him for lust this once" when I
suddenly spied the corner of an envelope
sticking saucily out from all the rest, and
then 1 remembered all the work there
was ahead Of me, and told him in a reg
ular heart-to-heart talk how it was with
me. He said: "Oh, I didn't think of
that, Mrs Manz. Please forgive me for
being in such hurry
And when went to tuck in the saucy,
protruding envelope, 10 and behold, it
was his own unique solution of the in
ventors puzzle.
Send along your answers. The time
that remains is shortening every hour,
you know, for the contest waits for no
one. 1t closes promptly at noon on FRI
day. J.CM.
