Seven Mistakes
OF Matrimony
The First Deadly Mistake Of Marnony Is to Marry on
Insufficient Income

poor young man and woman who
Larry ana work up side by side in
the world. But there is a wide Diff
ference between something and noth-
ing, between marrying on a settled
income, however small, and MARRYING
Wlthout any way to make a living
at all.
THE FIRST RULE.
The very first principle, the very
bed rock of domestic happiness Is
that couple shall have enough
money between them to support them
In decent comfort. One might almost
go further and say that 1t is neces-
sary for them to have enough money
to approximately live in the way in
which they have been accustomed to
live. Here and there are notable ex-
captions to this rule, and we find
men and women who have the
strength of character and greatness
of heart to be willing to give up the
lu1urtes they have been used to for
the sake OF beloved one. but these
1t takes more grace than the most
OF US possess to be able to make
daily sacrifice of our tastes and hab-
its without becoming churlish and
regarding ourselves as martyrs.
Certainly, the man wno has been
accustomed to dressing well and hav-
ing plenty of money to spend on tri-
fies; who has lived in a appoint
ed bachelor apartment, and INDUCED
himself in theatres, and cabs, and
good cigars, and who finds after
his marriage that his salary will only
permit of a cheap two by four fiat;
who has to wear shabby clothes, at
ter the babies begin coming; who
can only know of the theatres by
hearsay, and smoke cheap tobacco, is
seldom shining illustration of the |
happiness of the married state.
Nor does the woman who has lived |
in luxurious home, and had beau
tiful clothes, and travelled, and reigned !
in society find matrimony a glad. /
sweet song when she gets to be an
overworked household drudge, faded
and worn with the nursing of babies
and the cooking Of dinners and the !
dreary round of petty household !
economies.
These are the people who swell the !
records of the divorce courts and .
whose homes. eve" WI eN tuev keen /
together, are bloody battle ground
in which family scraps are fought to
Il finish, Love and peace have gone,
driven out by overwork, by over
by the fear of the future that
keeps peoples nerves taut and their !
tempers with a razor edge.
NOT SAFE.
It's no use in saying that it's safe
now for young couple to marry on
nothing year because their parents
or grandparents did. The whole con-
dltions of life have changed since
then, and we can no more go back
and begin life as they did than we
can go back to using stage coaches
md tallow candles.
The first requisite. then, of do
mestic happiness is having the price,
for love IS like an automobile. It's a
luxury that it is a crime to indulge in
unless you can afford it. To marry
on an insufficient income is every
whit as disastrous as it would be to
buy touring car without money to
run it, and the result is the same
you would land in bankruptcy, ana
the sheriff would close you out.

BY DOROTHY DIX.

T-HE first deadly mistake of matri-
mony is:
TO MARRY ON AN INSUFFI-
GENT INCOME.
Matrimony has its commercial as
wen as Its sentimental side, and while
mere money alone will not make a
happy marriage, neither will love
alone. 1t takes food to supply the
aeart throbs, and at the bottom Of
every successful marriage there must
ne a strong financial plank capable Of
Importing comfortable home

nor even plain beefsteak and onions
Nor does he prevent clothes from

.ector's heart so that he furnishes an
2partment with modern conveniences

On the contrary, life goes on for
oeople who are in love just as it does
or those who are out of love. Moth
ing stops the processes of nature. We
get hungry, we get cold, we crave the
same amusements we have the same
tastes after marriage as we did be-
ore, and the plain. hideous fact stares
rs in the face that when we have
rot the money to supply these ne
,essities we are not happy, no matter

pther individual.
NOT ROMANTIC.
II isn't romantic-ft even fl1ls you
with a deep disgust for the weakness
of human nature but the truth re-
mains that we have to be physically
e1mfortable, and have a mind at

man on earth. No woman who is

a lovelier background for dainty,
clear-cut features and softens
harsh, angular ones.
Because Oh this universal beau
trying art, and because OF the
growing popularity of outdoor life
and exercise-in which fur is al
most a necessity--seal and marten
and sable, and even the humble
squirrel and rabbit and raccoon
have come into the proud position
they occupy to-day in Dame Fash

TWO CONSIDERATIONS.
In buying fur, there are two
things to consider-getting what
is becoming to you-a question |
will carefully analy2e for you later
in our little chat-and getting what
you pay for. Sadly enough, there
is no pure fur law" So, if you
pay for marten and get skunk.
blame your own ignorance of fur
value and the tradesman who sold
you a masquerading animal all you
ike, but you will get no redress.
Therefore, IL you want to be safe,
if you want to make your fur pur-
chase not an extravaganza but q
way of putting yourself in pos
session OF lasting property, be
sure you deal with one OF the many
honest, reliable, truth-telling houses
in your city, and supplement all
this with little careful study OF
your subject

the wonlan of limited means, who
wants long haired soft colored
dark fur, / recommend mink,
fisher, fox or raccoon in a de-
scendfng scale OF prices. Further
economy may be practised by add
ing a mere finish of fur to plush,
velvet or heavy fur cloth muff and

These long haired brown furs
add richness of coloring to the
brunette type and are charming
on the woman who is not very
stout.
For the pink and white blonde
there are silver fox, white fox,

FOR THE STOUT.
For the woman OF embonpoint

CHAPTER l.

An old gray-haired woman, sitting
by the fire in her little home in
Aschaffenburg, Germany, two weeks
ago was handed a photograph by the
mail man and the picture proved to
be that of her long absent Johannes
Schmidt in America. On the back of
the card was the sentence in Ger
man "Auf Elm frohes wiedersehen"( To
our next happy meeting0 in a post
card that came two days later was
the encouraging promise, Il rejoice
that soon may be with you"
Yet the Rev. Hans Schmidt when
he sent the likeness and the. message
was undoubtedly already plotting the
cruel murder of Anna Aumuller, the
comely young girl he said he loved.
He had looked at flats and stolen a
death certificate, had a copy made Of
it by photogra ply and had obtained in
some way blank death certificates.
