Take the Poor Young Man
and Love Rather Than
the Old Man

Take the young man, girls, the
poor young man and love, rather
than the old man without love,
although every hair on your ell
derly~ 5uitor's head be strung
with diamonds. Marriage, at
best, is no picnic. 1t is a siren
uous undertaking, full of trials
and tribulations and troubles.
and the only thing on earth that
can gild its fetters and make
it endurable is love.
You never know how cranky a
human being can be, and how
many of the fifty-seven different
varieties of frailties and weak
nesses he or she can possess un-
til you are married to the said
imperfect party, and nothing but
seeing this individual enveloped
in a halo of tenderness keeps
YOU out of the divorce court.
Marriage without love and with
out romance is hell on earth,

crowd combined haven't got

Has Only to Say "Yes'
and Luxury Will Be
LaViShed on Her

SO say the worldly wise old
women, and the girl listens to
their words, because she Graves
the good things they enumerate.
She would like to roll about in
her limousine She would like
to have her opera box, and won
derful gowns, and ropes OF
pearls, and diamond tiaras. She
would like to travel and see her
picture in smart society jour
nails, and she knows that she has
just to say one little word and
all these things will be hers.
Her head assents to what the
wise women say, but not her
heart. That cries out for some
slim youth with the curl of boy
hood still in his crisp hair, with
his eyes full of dreams and his
pockets empty, whose lightest
touch thrills her from head to
foot, and the sound of whose
step coming toward her is the
music of the spheres to her ears.
But this is a practical age,
when even Cupid has to take ac-
count of the high cost of living,
and so the girl is torn between
the temptation of love and
plenty. Which shall it be-the
old man who can give her a
shopping ticket, or the young
man who can give her little but
romance? Which shall it be,
bread and cheese and kisses, or
truffles and champagne and bare
tolerance?

Which,?
Shall a Girl Be an Old Mans
Darling or Young
Mans Slave?
By DOROTHY DIX

enough money to pay anybody
for going through lifetime
of it.
The girl who marries for a
home or for the luxuries some
man can give her has no right
to draw her skirts away from
any woman of the street She
has sold herself just as truly
as any of that sorrowful sister
hood, and with less excuse.
Moreover, no woman earns
her living in harder way than
she who marries for it and who
must make all of the inevitable
sacrifices of matrimony, not
through love which sweetens
them, but because it is her duty
as a wife.
Also remember this, girls,
that the old proverbs theory
that being an old mans darling
is a sinecure that was evidently
first propounded by a doddering
old widower trying to marry
debutante. 1t is a misleading
guide to go by. The rich old
man is willing to dress his
pretty young wife up like fine
doll and show her off before his
friends, but beyond her miIli-
merry no one need envy the old
mans darling her luck.

r OOK at the picture on this
page, girls. 1t shows a
maiden trying to solve the
problem that confronts many of
you-the problem of whether it
is better to be an old mans
darling or young mans slave
All the worldly wise old
women with hard faces and
keen eyes. say to the girls:
Take the old man. What
does it matter if he is fat and
bald headed, and has figure
built after the similitude of bay
window, and if the touch of his
hand makes your flesh creep,
and the heavy tramp of his feet
coming toward you makes you
want to take TO the tall timbers?
What if his conversation makes
you yawn yourself TO death?
"He can give you automobiles,
and fine house, and imported
clothes, and trips to Europe. and
everything to make life easy and
soft. Love? Poohl Nice to
read about in books and to see
in plays on the stage, but it
won't pay bills, my dear, nor
keep you from being shabby and
poor. Romance? You leave
that at the altar, anyway, so why
pay an extravagant price for it?
Believe me, my child, that all
husbands are alike as soon as
the honeymoon wanes, and then
a woman's happiness in life de-
pends on what sort of an estab-
lishment she has got"

The Old Husband Always
Adds Jealousy to Other
UnamiabIe Qualities

Old people are almost invari-
ably tyrannical and set in their
ways, and narrow, and selfish,
and opinionated, and to these
unamiable qualities the old hus-
band invariably and justifably
adds jealousy The young wife
of an old man earns all she gets
by putting up with the grabbed
ness of age, by having all her
actions spied upon, and by hav-
ing to nurse the rheumatism
and the gout when she would
like to be enjoying the pleas
ures that belong to her age.
Look at the young wives of
old men that you know, the
girls who have married for
money. Is there one happy
looking one among them all?
Did you ever see wearier, more
bored looking faces? They do
not look alert and alive as work
ing women look. They have
not the smiling, contented
faces that the wives of so many
poor men have.
You see these women have
found out what a terrible thing
it is to have nothing but money,
and how little money really
buys. 1t doesn't take you long
to get all you can eat and wear,
and then the purchasing power
of money stops. 1t won't buy
you love, nor a single solitary
thrill, nor brighten by one de-
gree the dreary, soggy, endless
evenings that you spend tete-
a-tete with a husband whose So
ciety bores you to extinction.
Marry the man you love, girls,
the man who interests you, the
man of whom you never tire,
the man with whom you have
every thought and sympathy in
common, though he be as poor
as a church mouse. Youth calls
to youth, you must match enthu
siasm with enthusiasm, hope
with hope You must enjoy the
same things, like to do the same
things, to have any comradeship,
and comradeship between hus-
band and wife makes the only
enduring tie. 1t is the only
thing that brings happiness.
Better is dinner of herbs
that two happy young hearts
can laugh over than dinner at
Delmonico's with an old gour-
met whose jaded palate nothing,
can tickle. Better a Harlem
fat with love than Fifth ave
nue. palace and an empty heart
and an empty life
Besides, girls. it's lots more
fun to help a young husband
make a fortune than it is TO
spend an old husbands money
Marry the young man, and may
Heaven bless you, but Heaven
never blesses the union of May
and December.

Vice President and Mrs. Mar
shall InseparabIe.
SHARE IN EVERYTHING
Neither Will Accept Anything That
Does Not Include Both.
NO CHILDREN IN HOUSEHOLD
Devotion Has Been Conspicuous Fea-
ture of Seventeen Years of
Marriage.

Mrs. Thomas Riley Marshall, wife of
the Vice President, comes to Washington
to preside over a household in which
there are no children. In their seventeen
years of married life, parentage has never
been given to them. The effect seems to
have been a sngularly close sympathy be-
tween husband and wife.
Mr.. and Mrs. Marshall are never sepa-
rated. She has been the companion Of his
political campaigns. Not even social oh
legations could keep them apart, for her
husband would accept no invitation in
which Mrs Marshall was not included
Even distinctions which did not enable
Mrs Marshall to share his honors have
been refused by Mr.. Marshall.
Mrs. Marshall was Lois I. Kimsev ri
Angola, Ind. She was welded tn Mr.
Marshall October>2. 1895. She is a young.
looking matron tall, with a well proper
TONED figure. good complexion and pleas
ing blue eyes.

Now. of course, old Mrs. Possum was
very much relieved when she heard
that Unc' Billy was safe, for she had
been afraid that something dreadful
had happened to him. But just as soon
as she knew that he was safe she for
got all about how worried she had been.
All she thought Of was how inc
Billy had left her to get some fresh
eggs to put In his own stomach and
left her to take care OF herself and
eight baby Possums.
"Yo' tell Unc' Billy Postum that All
doan care il he never comes back All

of his family to worry over" she said

see that the eight little POssums were
properly tucked in bed for 1t. was
cold day and the eight little Possums
had to stay in bed to keep warm.
Happy. Jack chuckled as he started
back to tell Unc Billy Postum He
knew perfectly well that old Mrs Pos
sum didn't mean what she said. He
knew that INC Billy would know that
she didn't mean it.. But he knew, and
he knew that INC Billy knew, that
when he did get home he would get a
great scolding. Then all Of a sudden
Happy Jack thought Of a way for Unc'
Billy to get home without waiting I'M
til the snow melted away SO that he
would leave no tracks for Farmer
Browns boy to see. That might be
a very long time. for there was q great
deal Of snow on the ground. What do
you suppose gave Happy Jack his idea?

The Paris Omnibus.

From tho london Chronicle
The last horse omnibus i'm Paris. to
which mock funeral, escorted by taxi
cabs. has been accorded was a humble
turnout compared with the earliest OF ia
predecessors which started running IN
March, 1G6o. The drivers of these omni.
buses wore sky-blue uniforms. adorned
with the royal arms and the arms of the
city of Paris. and the vehicles were dis
tinguished one from the other not by
common figures, but by the number of
fleurs-de-Iis painted on them. The far,
for any distance was sous. and the driv-
ers were forbidden to carry manual Ia
borers, domestic servants and private SOL
diers. This attempt at exclusiveness made
the omnibuses unpopular, and stones were
showered on them as they passed. So
for a time they had 20 be protected by an
escort of soldiers. which helped to max,
them look still more imposing.

One Of the beauty spots of the White

They have kept the world in touch with

that good work did not begin with the

True, they have spent time on the plays
