What Is Such Conduct In a
Woman But Decep-
ton?

What else is it but deliberate
deception in a woman to let the
man she is expected to marry
only see her when she is painted
and powdered and waved and
curlcd and dolled up in her very
best and most becoming clothes?
What else is it but fraud that
makes a girl in the days of
courtship act SO meek and mild
that she makes patient Griselda
look like a termagant? What
else does she run than a conf
dence game when she agrees
with everything her best beau
says and breaks her neck trying
to please him in every way and
gives him to understand that
she considers him a very fount
of wisdom?
What else is it than deception
of the deepest dye for a man
when he is courting girl to tell
her that he asks nothing in life
but the bliss of murmuring
words of undying love in her
little shell like ear and holding
her little white hand in his, when
he knows that he'll drop the lit
tie white hand the minute the
marriage ceremony is said over
them as If it was a hot brick.
and the most that the shell like
ears will ever hear again will be
his criticism of her cool1ing1

to shower presents and theater

By DOROTHY DIX

THE supreme court has de-
cided that any kind of a mis-
representation goes in court
ship, and that if young man
tells a young woman, as an in
ducement for marrying, that he
has plenty of money in the bank,
a lucrative job and a good home
ready furnished to take her to,
that the said young woman has
no recourse in law if she finds
out that none of these things
are true, but that they are mere
ly the pipe dreams of some mod
ern Claude Lorraine.
In handing down the opinion
the justice said:
1T is we'll recognized prin-
ciple that, in the state of mental
exaltation accompanying court
ship, statements made as to the
mental, moral or financial con-
dition of the parties shall not be
too closely scrutinzed, nor shall
they be held to a strict account
ability therefor"
This is not only the law, but it
is the commonly accepted view
of the matter. Men and women
who are otherwise honest and
who would scorn to gamble with
loaded dice or marked cards do
not hesitate to play the love
game crooked.
Men who would not inveigle
another man into a business un-
der false pretenses do not scru-
pie to cntice woman into mat
rimony by means of glittering
falsehoods and misrepresenta-
tons.
Women whose consciences
would not allow them TO deduct
. year from the age of a horse
they were trying to sell take off
ten or a dozen years from their
own ages when they are trying
to catch a husband and hear
never whimper from the still,
small voice.
