The trouble Is The earth doesn't

Free day" would be real grand

A Baltimore clergyman declines to

weddings are becoming more and
more occasions for dramatic effect and
dress display"
II more ministers were to take this
sensible view and bold stand. the mod :

society show and more a ceremony OF
wholesome sentiment.
When the benign atmosphere and in
fiuences surrounding the society. we'd
ding are removed 1t might cease to be
so prolific a feeder of the divorce
courts and become the secure basis of
rational and happy domestic life.
In the good old days. when marriage
was for life and not for a social
splurge. it was made a great event
indeed. but not as 1t is now. The
bride had for months. sometimes for

and patch and stitch of which she had
threaded her love and hope and trust.
Her wedding meant much indeed to
her, but the importance was not all in
the ceremony. The main thing was
preparation to do her full part toward
making the home a comfortable and
happy one in which peace and pros
perity loved to abide.
The society bride of today is busy,
too, for weeks before her wedding.

time to be measured for her gowns and
fitted into them very much as bronze
statue cast into the proper shape. 1t
is an awful bore" but can't be avoid
ed. She owes it to the dear boy" to
look her very best at the ceremony.
And that in many cases is about all
she imagines she does owe him and
all he ever gets. The divorce court
records clearly show that many blind
fellow has taken a leading part In
matrimonial theatricals to find out af-
terward that he has married one OF
the finest wedding gowns that money
ever bought, but that it has very poor
stuff inside 1t.
We can't all be rich and have swell
weddings, and 1t Is a good thing we
can't. If we could and did this would
be a dull world. If there were none
poor, none struggling. none aspiring
mankind WOULD forget how to laugh
and how to love.
Love and marriage means far more
to those in moderate circumstances
than to the ease taking wealthy; 1t
means a wedding of sympathies in q
common cause of anxiety, of hope, OF
struggle. or disappointment. of sue
cess; it means deep experience in
all the profound soul-nourishing emo
lions, to many of which the hearts OF
the society butterflies are closed. For
when struggles cease. sympathies and
aspirations cease also and the soul
stagnates.
