GIRLS DO NOT REALIZE
THE IMPORTANCE
Of MARRIAGE.

In the March American Maya
zine, Ida W. Tarbell. who is
beginning a series of articles on
women, writes of The Business
of Being a Woman" She says
that the ordinary girl is entirely
unconscious Of the supreme i'm
portance of her mate-to-be. Fol-
lowing is an extract:
The direst result ofignorance
or of distorted ideas of this tre-
mendous matter Of carrying on
human life is that it leaves the
girl unconscious Of the supreme
Importance Of her mate. So
heedlessly and ignorantIy is our
mating done today that the huge
machinery Of church and state
and the tremendous power of
rnhIc on;n;on combined have
been insufficient to preserve to
the institution Of marriage any
thing like the stability it once
had, or that it is desirable that it

when you see her from the back.
But should you chance to meet
her as she is approaching you;
why, she is a fluffy girl with q
Wayy pompadour, a flny, frilIy
waist, and a skirt that looks just
right. When dressing, she has
centered her attention on the
view she gets when she looks in
her mirror. And she has found
it very satisfactory. She surely
needs to learn that her back APP
pearance must look as though it
had some connection with the
front effect.
T hesitate to mention the girl
who likes to have you know she
wears silk stockings. But she
most decidedly IS a noticeable
type from the back. She holds
her dress up high, perhaps UNI
consciously. perhaps not, but
very frequently it is not only her
silk stockings that she displays,
but a little pink piece of bare
heel which shows conspieuously
above her dark and dainty pump.
Then, too, there is every chance
that there is more than q bit Of
pink heel which shows. You see,
if she had taken that one neces-
sary stitch, it might have saved
the nine that had dropped.

News About the Spring Hat and
Its Relation to q Weman's
Hair.

Edith NJ. Weidenfeld, writing
Of the spring hat IN the March
Wonan's Home Companion. says
that the arrangement of the hair
plays a more important part in
millinery than the average woman
admits. The average woman,
when selecting a hat, has an idea
that she ought to get the newest
in color, shape and trimming,
regardless Of its relation to the
shape of her head, the contour
of heg face, or the arrangement
of her hair. She wonders, then,
why she does not like her hat
after she has worn it, and il
takes several long interviews
with her mirror before she real

KENTUCKY SOL0NS

Publisher InVades South in
Progressive Fight

Cincinnati. O., Feb. 10. ~ William
Randolph Hearst Will address the
general assembly OF Kentucky at
Frankfort on Wednesday OF this
week, and much interest is being
manifested by the people In what he
will say. Mr.. Hearst appears there
In response to an invitation OF that
tody to speak on national topics. At
the Jackson day dinner at Washing
ton on Jan 8 MIR. Hearst created a
furore In his address upon public
questions and public men.
Mr.. Hearst intends to take part in
the selection of presidential candi-
cate at Baltimore next June. He has
engaged headquarters In the same
notel as the national Democratic com
mittee, a whole floor having been set
aside for his use. AS Il champion OF
progressive reforms, Mr.. Hearst pro.
poses that there shall be no backward
teps taken by the national Democ-
acy, as he insists was done in 1904
when the conservatives gained TEN.
porary control at st. Louis.
After his address at Frankfort he
will leave for the Pacific coast. In
cldentally, the announcement was
made recently that Mr. Hearst has
increased his newspaper holdings by
the purchase Of the Daily Georgian
of Atlanta. This means that he pro-
poses to enter into the politics Of the
south. and thore is some speculation
as to how his methods will be &C.

AS TO GOOD ROADS


ance has been, or probably will be,
presented to the constitutional con-
vention than that pertaining to the
improvement of the public highways
of the state. On this vital matter,
Ohio Is not much farther advanced
than 1t was fifty years ago, which, to
say the least, is not Creditable to the
state of Ohio. but more particularly to
the people at large. as the state, after
all, is only what che people make 1t,
and the blame fot any condition must
be shouldered by the people them
selves, despite che TACT that they
would transfer Ehe responsibility to
the state.
In these modern days the old mud
roads of our grand-fathers will not do
they do not meet the demand for
easy and rapid transportation afford
ed by good roads.
We believe the desire for good
roads is quite general, AZ Il is recog-
nized by all tboughtfuI men that good
roads are essential 10. progress, and

II 1t can be dignided BY being called
an argument, Of tbe opponents OF good
roads, is that nobody but an owner of
an automobile IL In favor of good
roads. How marrow! How utterly at
variance with the facts! The writer
does not own All automobile. nor any
other vehicle. not even wheelbarrow,
and It certainly cunnot be said he Is
prompted by anything but the general
public good In advocating good roads.
For some time tho Ohio Good Roads

lines to ultimately secure for the state
OF Ohio highways such az the state
should have. and such as the people
are entitled To. This Federation Is

propositions, up to the present time,
reflect the best on the subject. and
commend themselves to the patriotic
