The Seven Mistakes of Matrimonv
BY DOROTHY DIX.

+ a tight fist will marry a woman for
the very reason that she is stunning
ly good looking, and such a fashion
plate that she makes everybody rub
| Der when she enters theater or res
taurant, and as soon as they are mar
ried he expects her to become a mod
ell OF economy, and to be satisfied
with ready made dresses and home
| constructed millinery.
Or a man of broad intelligence and
a deep appreciation Of what is fine
in literature and art will be captured
| by the infantile artlessness of a girl
who is nothing but little fluffy kit
ten and marry her, and then expect
her to be able to entertain him and
| understand him, and be a real COM
| panion to him.
Or a man who loves good cooking
and thrifty housekeeping will marry
a high browed woman, and complain
| after marriage that she gives him in
teliectual conversation instead of the
kind of pie that mother used to make
The pious woman and the leader
Of the w e. r. T.. will marry the
gayest rounder she can find and spend
the balance OF her life worrying her
self and him because he will drink
a glass Of beer and play poker
If, therefore, you would be happy
though married, avoid the second ia
tai mistake of matrimony. Don't
marry for one thing and expect an
other. Pick out the kind OF life
partner that you wish before mar
riage-for there is no such thing as
altering a husband or wife to suit
your taste.
The only sane matrimonial propo-
sition is to pick out a man or woman
on what she or he is at the present
and take no chances on what he or
she may become in the future BY
the time people are old enough to
get married their characters are
formed, their tastes and habits set
tied, and what they are going to be
they already are. Not once In blue
mosn do they change, and any talk
Of a man developing his wifes char
acter, or a woman reforming a man,
is utter nonsense.

TIME second deadly mistake of

TO MARRY FOR ONE

TIME second deadly mistake of
matrimony is
TO MARRY FOR ONE
THING AND EXPECT ANOTHER.
This is a matrimonial blunder that
Is committed daily by both men and
women, and it is one of the first aids
to the divorce court. The Illusion
that matrimony works some sort of
miracle, and that the mere saying
of the marriage ceremony over a cou-
pie is a kind of conjure that changes
the disposition and habits of a man
and woman, and converts them into
entirely different beings from what
they were before, is fallacy that is
well-nigh universal.
A man who Is poor and has his
way to make in the world will fall
in love and marry girl who is moth
ing but a frail little bit Of Ores
den china, designed by nature to be
merely a piece of ornamental bric-a-

oottoes as she knows him better, till
