The Seven Mistakes of Matrimony
By DOROTHY DIX.

a tight fist will marry woman for
the very reason that she is stunning
~ good looking, and such fashion
plate that she makes everybody rub
Der when she enters a theater or res
taurant, and as soon as they are mar
ried he expects her to become a mod
el Of economy, and to be satisfied
with ready made dresses and home
constructed millinery.
or a man Of broad intelligence and
deep appreciation Of what is fine
in literature and art will be captured
by the infantile artlessness of a girl
who is nothing but a little fluffy kit
ten and marry her. and then expect
her to be able to entertain him and
understand him, and be real COM
paniOn to him.
Or man who loves good cooking
and thrifty housekeeping will marry
high proved woman, and complain
after marriage that she gives him in
tellectual conversation instead of the
kind of pie that mother used to make
The pious woman and the leader
of the W. c. T. L. will marry the
gayest rOunder she can find and spend
the balance of her life worrying her
self and him because he will drink
a glass of beer and play poker.
If, therefore, you would be happy
though married, avoid the second ia
tai mistake Of matrimony. Don't
marry for one thing and expect an
other, Pick out the kind of a life
partner that you wish before mar
riage-for there is no such thing as
altering a husband or wife to suit
your taste.
The only sane matrimonial propo-
sition is to pick out a man or woman
on what she or he is at the present
and take no chances on what he or
she may become in the future BY
! the time people are old enough TO
get married their characters are
formed, their tastes and habits set
tied, and what they are going to be
they already are. Not once in a blue
moon do they change, and any talk
or a man developing his wife's char
acter, or a woman reforming a man,
Is utter nonsense.

THE second deadly mistake of
matrimony Is

TINE second deadly mistake of
matrimony Is
TO MARRY FOR ONE
THING AND EXPECT ANOTHER.
This is d matrimonial blunder that
Is committed daily by both men and
women, and it is one OF the first aids
to the divorce court. The illusion
that matrimony works some sort of
a miracle, and that the mere saying
of the marriage ceremony over a cou-
pie is kind OF conjure that changes
the disposition and habits of a man
and woman, and converts them into
entirely different beings from what
they were before, Is a fallacy that is
well-nigh universal,
A man who is poor and has his
way to make in the world will fall
in love and marry girl who is moth
ing but a frail little bit of Ores
den china, designed by nature to be
merely a piece of ornamental bric-a-
brac in life, and then expect her, as
soon as they are married, to he one
of the strong women who are capa-
Bile of helping a man to fight his way
to success.

And now you would like some ad-
vice for the girl of to-day who would
like TO be good cook? OF course, there
is no denying the fact that cooking by
technique is by far the safer way. one
can learn very quickly in a good do
nestle science school. But the temper
amental cook has q much better time
OF it any day. Just go down in the
kitchen or out to the kitchen, Just
whichever way you happen to be stu
ated and experiment Don't use eX-
pensive ingredients until you are quite
sure of yourself
After a while you will unconscious
ly think up dainty little c"ncoctions
that cannot possibly be found in any
cook BOOK, They will taste heavenly
and you will be lauded to the skies.

Ihe male judges, Dr.. Jacobstein of the
political science and Prof. Becker of the
engineering department of the university
OF North Dakota after the debate declar.
ed that Langdon had their decisions until

Henry attacked the interstate commerce
commission. The judges failed to recall
Dorothy's defense aud gave Grafton
the beneftof the doubt and the decision
unanimously.
Man for man Langdon still has the
better team. Langdon had the better
argument, but lost on general form and
effectiveness in presentation. Mr., Stautf
the official representative of Langdon at
the debate, has no excuse to offer: he
has confidence IN the Langdon team but
realizes that the trip abroad, the strain
OF the hour and the first appearance of
the home team in another school, before
crowded house had much to do with
Langdon's losing its first inter high
school debate.
One of the Langdon debaters was con-
ceded the palm as the star debater of
the evening, the judges voluntarily say
ing that she was the most self.possessed
and effective speaker of the evening.
Langdon's representatives had very
] beautiful treatment while in Grafton

contests under such circumstances can
be productive of only the best good for
