Perplexing a Magistrate.

II after years Philip never forgot the
shame Of that march through the
staring streets. The everlasting
idlers of London's busiest thoroughfares
gathered around the policeman and his
prisoner with grinning callousness.

They ran and buzzed around him like
wasps, singing most bitterly with
coarse words and coarser laughter. An
omnibus slowed its pace to let them
cross the road, and Philip knew that
the people on top craned their necks to
have a good look at him When near
ing the viaduct steps the policeman
growled something at the pursuing
crowd. Another constable strobe rapid

loafers. sternly advising them to find

Harrington street and had barely at

Sylvia in the Suburbs

hair ribbon"
We'll, I'll bet you have both those
articles hidden away in this bunch of

set up a store for the general accommo-
dalton of your neighbors."
Strange, isn't it," said Horton. chow

A Partnership or a
PrOprietOrship
BY Virginia T. Van de Water.

~ ERHAPS the answer to the
above question would settle
many a matter of marital mis-
cry. Are not our ideas of marriage
often wrong from the start?
Men and women are taught from
childhood that, in marrying. a man
gives himself to a woman and Wom-
an gives herself to a man wholly and
entirely, body and spirit. The idea
may be a beautiful one-perhaps-
but is it a livable one2 Is not such
rather than of partnership? And
do any of US enjoy giving what we
are bound by law to give?
l am not advocating lax marriage
standards. Heaven Forbid Unless
people are willing to forsake others
and to Cleave unto each other as long
as they both do live, they should
esChew the welded state. But in
promising to live together in honor,
to care for each other, to share their
worldly goods-do they promise to
relinquish all individuality, to part
with the secrets of the soul, to have
no reverses? If so, they may as well
make up their minds that each must
lose all personality all of the sweet
ness Of solitary communion all of the
things which, though unseen, are
eternal. and are as much the divine
right of each person as is his own
soul. There are things that are be-
tween man and his God and such
things marriage can not give or take

Things Worth Remembering

After dancing almost continuously at
her wedding celebration for seventy
two hours, a Pennsylvania bride col
lapsed from exhaustion? As is the Gus
tom with some foreigners a big wedding
celehra ton was started in a hall, and
al these celebrations a man has the
privilege of dancing with the bride upon
payment Of a dollar. Some of the pref
tier brides get enough money in this
way to furnish their homes This bride
was exceptionally good-looking. and it
is said she was demanded for upward
of 700 dances.
Thirty seconds was the time occu-
pied by the Birmingham, England,
magistrates in hearing a case? A man
was charged with being drunk. but it
was explained that he had taken his
passage 20 Canada. and had only ten
minutes in which TO catch his train for
Liverpool, In a shade less than half
a minute the prisoner had been fined,
had paid the money, and had left the
courtroom at a run.

ENT you can not cover up an ill-cut

Josephine Victor in her very charm

been the delightful way my hostess

in New York.
Josephine Victor has that bewitch-
ing beauty known as elusive" As a
matter Of fact it is not elusive at all,
but is based on physical loneliness
plus brains, personality and graceful
graciousness.
A Well Made Gown.
IF a gown is made with under

the part that runs through the play
like a minor strain of sweetness in
music by saying over and over:

Cultivate your knowledge Of life,

Man Born Singly.

| Yet, such are the distorted views
| held by some persons that they be-
! lieve that when a woman marries a
man she must know all that he
| knows, and do only that of which he
approves. Some women have a no.
| ton that unless a husband loves that
which the wife loves and approves
| of that of which she approves, mar
| riage can not be a success And, as
man was not born in pairs, but sin
gly, such a merging of self in the
person Of another is contrary to ma
ture and can hardly be according to
any law of the Creator.

The Tight Rein.
And, after all. why must the wife

she loves? Why thus burden him,

on the other hand, why must a man
