And here's another viewpoint Of the
1918 model of girl If you viii re-
call the heroes of all fashioned
novels used to be men who had been
sad rakes They were men with dark
pasts, such as Rochester, who fasci-
mated innocent little Jane Eyre, and
even as late as a generation or so
ago a man lost no prestige in girls
eyes from having been wild, and hav-
ing had romantic adventures. Re
Gently an opponent to the bill for re-
quiring all candidates for marriage to

up this former attitude of women on
this subject in Directing to the pass
age of the law. He didn't know the
modern young girl l said something
Of this to one, and she defined the
modern girls position on the question
in one phrase:
She Knew.
We've read Damaged Goods" she
said, and we know what that sort
of romance means-insane asylums,
surgeons tables DEATH"
In former times, when a young girl
came to an older woman to confide in
her, she asked for advice about some
love affair Nowadays when a girl
has a heart to heart talk with you
she COnsults you about her life work.
The young girls are no longer look
ing forward to matrimony as the one
only desirable career in life They
are thinking of business, of settle
ment work, of a thousand avocations
outside of the home circle. Love is
no longer the whole of their exist
ence. 1t is a thing apart, just as
! it is of a man. If the right man
comes along and asks one, she'll
marry, but if he doesn't, she can get
along very well without him, thank
| you.
This is only a cursory view Of the
young girl of the period. Take a look
at her for yourself. At present she
| is the great human Conundrum, and
she's the most interesting thing in
] the world.

By DOROTHY DIX.

FAVE you ever considered the
modern girl and how she diff
fers from the maidens of the
past? She's a new species of the
feminine sex, and no more like her
grandmother, or even her mother
than If she had been waited down
from the planet Mars instead of hav-
ing just strolled out of the nursery.
We haven't taken much account of
her, but you've got to reckon with
her in the future, and it's time we
sat up and took notice. Consider
these little stories as illustrations Of
the young person and her point of
view. The first is on divorce.
The other day 1 overheard two
young girls talking.
Said one: When a girl marries,
she should be very, very careful IN
choosing her husband, and after she
is married she should do the best she
can to make good wife and a happy
home, but II she finds out that she
has made a mistake, and is miserable,
thank Heaven, she doesn't have to
stand it. She can always get a di-
vorce"
Said the other girl: "Oh, of course.
that's the only thing to do under
such circumstances. 1t won't be my
fault II my marriage turns out badly,
because I'm going to do everything I
can, and bring every particle of in
telligence I've got to making it a
success, but none of that sutherland
be-strong business in mine! If my
husband isn't what he should be- or
treats me badly, or l find I've made
an error Of judgment, I'm going to
correct it just as l would any other
mistake.
I'm not going to stick to it as peo-
pie used to do in the Dark Ages
Aren't you thankful that you live IN
these enlightened days, instead of in
our grandparents and our parents
time, when people thought that no
matter how miserable you were in
your marriage. or how much you
hated the person you were married to.
YOU had to endure it2"

An Unusual Remark.

The first girl smiled indmgently.
They were bound in the swaddling
clothes of superstition, all right" she
said
gasped with surprise. These girls
belong to old, conservative, rather
narrow minded families, and they
themselves are sweet, modest, intelli-
gent well educated young women,
who haven't the faintest idea of being
revolutionary, or anything of that
sort What they said simply voiced
the viewpoint of the new generation.
They didn't argue about the ethics
Of divorce at all They simply aC
cepted divorce as a fact, a modern
convenience, something that tended
to make life pleasanter just as they
did in elevators in apartment build
ings, or electric lights, or running hot
and cold water in bath rooms.
If you had made a mistake in mar
riage and your life was being ruined
by it. you corrected it and took
fresh start, just as you would do If
you found out that you had engaged
in a business that was bankrupting
you. They could see no more reason
for going on with a marriage that
meant daily misery than there would
be in going on with an enterprise in
which you lost money every day.
You can't argue the divorce question
with the modern young girl, because
she simply doesn't recognize the an
cient view of the matter, that there
| is anything noble, or pious, or viz
tuous in living with an individual
that brings out all the worst that is
in you, or in keeping together a fam

Aiken, S. c., Jan. 25.-Society peo-
pie here and elsewhere are looking
forward with undisguised interest to
the trial of Frederick o. Beach, mill
lionaire New York clubman and So
ciety whip. charged with having at
tempted to kin his wife, Mrs. Camilla
Havemeyer Beach, by slashing her
throat last February, while the Beach
es were occupying their winter home
in this city. The case is one of the
first cases to be tried at the February
term of the court of general sessions,
which will convene here next week.
The accused and his beautiful wine
have been and are still prominent in
society circles of New York and other
large Eastern centres and were among
the leaders of the colony of Northern
society people who have their winter
homes in and around Aiken. Under
the circumstances it is quite natural
that the case should attract unusual
attention among the numerous friends
and social acquaintances of the
Beaches in the Aiken winter colony
But aside from the social prominence
of the accused and of his alleged vic
tim the case promises many sensa
tional features which are likely to
make it a "cause celebre."

HOME MERCHANTS
MUST ADVERTISE.

Those of our merchants Who lave
been tagging for some years in the
advertising movement will find that
unless they advertise from now on
that their sales will be curtailed by
the workings of the parcels post, which
went into effect on Jan. 1. Already
our local postoffice is deluged with
matter which comes by parcels post
and it will not be long until the big
houses will be advertising in all the
local papers and will flood the country
with advertising besides. People will
take advantage of the bargains that
they offer and it behooves the home
merchants to get busy. We must keep
money at home but you can not ex-
pect your local paper to use its ener-
gies to assist you when you are not
doing anything to assist it. If it pays
the mail order house to advertise in
your local paper, it certainly ought to
pay you. 1t doesn't make any differ
ence how small your business is, If
you advertise goods that have merdit
you will find that people will come to
your store to buy them. Another
thing, it is all in the way you get up
an advertisement; some people dc
not know how to advertise properly,
deal in generalities, and this is poor
way to reach the people. If you say
however, that you are selling Sc shoes
for $4.3S and ready-made suits worth
$25 for $3.50, then the people car
readily understand what you mean

A TOWER OF SKULLS.

There exists at Nish, in southeast
Servia, a curious monument of modern
barbarism. During the war of indie
pendence, in 1909 the Servian garri
son here exploded power magazine
and persisted rather than fall into the
hands of the Turks.
A battle had previous taken place,
and the Turks, to commemorate their
victory, erected rude tower orna'
mented with the heads Of their enc
mics. Aged inhabitants of the district
assure the visitor that there were once
200 heads, but as the tower was new
err more than twenty-five feet high
this is probably an exaggeration.
Lamartine and other travellers relate
that they saw hair still clinging to the
skulls, which must have presented
