CONTRASTS THE BEST MATES
Quiet Men Should Wed viVacious We.
men, an English Opinion, Elk
pressed In Print.

Does the average man prefer the
demure, coy kind OF girl or the
bright and vivacious grim all proba-
bility fiirt-and which kind of q
girl makes the better wife?" This Is
the question on which a modern girl
asks opinion through London news
paper
Il have read in your paper many
opinions on the modern girl given by
young men," she writes, but / have
not found an answer to the question
which countless other girls besides
myself would like answered
1T seems to me that the average
man marries the coy, quiet girl, but
after few years of married life Is
GUS girl, very often at the expense Of
his wife's happiness"
Here are some opinions of London
people.
Rev. c. II. Grundy. vicar Of st.
Peters, Brockley, believes in the at
traction OF the opposite
Il think the quiet man generally
marries, and generally should marry,
the viyacious GIRL he says land the
bright, vivacious man, on the con-
trary, prefers and gets on better with
his opposite.
Some of the quietest men l have
KNOWN" he said, thoroughly enjoy
the vivaciousness of their wives.
Men like contrasts. You don't
want replica Of yourself. You want
variety. A wife who Is your double
doubles your dullness.
The best wife is the contrast wife,
and If you are both alike your home Is
dull and monotonous."

ABRIDGED Bible.

An abridged Bible is being advo
cated-one that will contain only the
vital parts of the great book, and
that omits hundreds of pages of mat.
ter now not read at all except by stu.
dents. No doubt such a Bible would
become instantly popular, because II
would all be interesting and to the
point. In this age, none except stu
dents will wade through very long
books. Everybody wants the truth
boiled down to the very shortest
space. The great story of the cruel
fxion is told in very few words, and
all the essentials of the Bible for
the average person could easily be
covered in one-fifth the pages required
for the whole work.-Gallipolis Tri-
bune.

MARRIAGE Laws AND DIVORCE.

To what extent the divorce evil In
encroaching on our national life Ii
shown by the report of the Illinois
commission appointed to secure EVIL
denoe on that subject. The figures 1t
submits are staggering. Within the
last half century divorce has increased
on an average OF more than three and
one-third times as fast as the popula-
ton. In the past year 1t il estimated
that 100000 divorces we're granted. 1t
Ia within moderation to say that In the
last so years 100000 homes have
been wrecked, and that nearly q mil
lion and a half of children under the
age OF ten were deprived OF one or
both parents. Compare the figures
for 1900 in 20 European countries. In
addition to Australia. Canada and New
Zealand. with total population OF
267 100000. as against our population
at that time OF 100000. The d.
vorces granted In the % countries
were 27.000 The divorces granted In
this country were $4,000. The rate
here was seven times that OF Europe.
The commission believes a remedy can
be found only by revision OF our
marriage laws. I'VE can never hope"
says Its report. Ito eradicate the evil
Of the divorce court until we safeguard
the morals and health of the communi-
