LOVE, CHERISH AND AoBEY."
Latter Vow Superfiuous In View of

Latter Vow SuperHuous In View of
First Two, Says Philosopher.
1t seems so odd that anybody, having
heard q woman VOW to love and honor
him, should think it OF any use at all
that she should also VOW to obey him,
observes writer in London Truth If
she keeps the first two vows obedience
is understood, and if she fails to love
and honor him she will most certainly
not obey him.
The obedient,w wife is a beautiful spec
tacle in theory. The trouble is that
neither the church nor any one else has
yet sketched out the limits she has TO
set to her obedience. A VOW of obedi-
ence as part of the marriage service
practically puts marriage on a level
with military service. but nobody seems
to consider that apart from all exter-
nal aspects Of it obedience is quality.
not an action. An obedient person Will
obey. and diSobedient person will dis
obey. no matter what vows are taken
Some natures are born rebeiliouS- 9th
ers are born with Il fine. sturdy com
mon sense and n natural power OF
thinking for themselves Such people
are only capable of obeying when they
are convinced that they should obey
1t is really not question OF the su-
premacy of man. 1t is a question of
human character.
In the old days a man chose for his
wife not only her place of residence,
her duties her friends and her pleas
ures, but even her very petticoats- We
may presume that she got rather tired
of this, but not nearly so tired as he
did. The average man of today. even
the most old fashioned. would find it
bore of the deadliest kind to have to de-
eide for his wife every detail of her ex-
istence- In little matters he expects
her to act for herself, and in big mat
tiers the stronger of the two. in def
ance of a thousand marriage services.

Cotter scrambled to his feet. freed

Beyond n brief word of thanks to

When Cotter had finished tying the

their carpets after they have been tax

the good breadths are placed in con

Perhaps the carpet will have to be
made over, ripped in the seams and
turned about to suit the needs of read

penknife or a small pairing knife with n
sharp edge and, turning the carpet on
the wrong side so the seams are eX-
posed. cut the stitches exactly between

After the breadths have been turned
about they must be sewed together
again. First pick out all the cut

then lay the breadths together. right

The stitch most commonly used is the

Stitches should not be taken too
