connection between II and grounding day.

more than probable. st. Swithin's day 10
near midsummer. while grounding day 10
near midwinter. Both days have a bear

cloudiness In the atmosphere.
II the second day Of February. on which
the groundhos is supposed to awake from

token an early spring. Should II be rainy

state it. for forty days.
II a tradition is utterly without foun-
dalton. 1t weakens in time and finally
fades out Of existence. But II there is
the least possible physical cause for II. the
fact keeps recurring and the tradition is
kept alive. II Is not necessary in sup
port Cf a tradition that the fact on which
II Is based always shall prove invariable.
The slightest preponderance in its favor
In the long run Is sufficient to keep It
going. II II has facts in its favor. and

ceptions to its rule. that Is simply the
misfortune OF science. IL not its fault, as

For many years. probably since the
ninth century OF the Christian era, St.

Many Divorcc Causes.

In deliberately planning the trial
marriage-aside from the residence pc
riod necessity-the causes for divorce
after the unsuccessful trial are as
many almost as the trial marriager
could wish for.
In general. all the States save South
Carolina grant divorce for unfaithful-
ness. Most of the States grant it for
abandonment. habitual drunkenness,
felony conviction. and the use of drugs.
There are those who claim that the
present seeming increase of the tria,
marriage is merely a fad-if so import
ant thing as marriage can be called
that.
The continuance of the married life Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Washburne is being
watched with interest in California
Chicagoans also are keeping an eye on
DIR. Waugh to see if his wife beating
theories will ever bring him to the for
personally the wielder of the hymeneal
cat-o-nine-tails. And the Los Angeles
pulpit will have a few things to say
with respect to trialers.

DecIarn ton of Bridegroom.

The trial bridegroom has spoken thus:
I'VE have proved ourselves to be adapt
ed to each other on every plane. But /
think We prevented one of the chief ten
dencies toward separation when We LETT
each other free from the first. We have
forbidden no door to each other and
therefore each stays where love holds"
Now. to many il may seem that
trial marriage cannot be deliberately
planned and carried out to the end
supposing that that end means the sep
aration of the couple agreeing upon
such trial. 1t looks as if there were so
much detail and unpleasant procedure
connected with breaking the bonds
that ii would be presumptuous to plan
a quittance of the martial obligation
according to A time schedule. But
closer investigate shows that il is
exceedingly easy to so plan. and be-
cause of the facility with which sep
aration may. be accomplished thou
sands to whom the idea is repugnant
are asking in alarm the question which
opens this article: Are we on the
thresbn-k of trial marriage vogue?"
Trial marriages depend, of course
for their success on divorce laws.
In drawing up the preliminaries for
a trial marriage no limitation of less
than six months in general can be
entered in the papers. With four ex-
ceptions, no State in the Union will
grant a divorce under a six months
residence.

EASY DIVORCES
CAUSE OF LAXITY
Laws Of States Responsible

Marriages"
SEPARATION In ADVANCE
Couples Plan to Sever Marriage Ties
Before Making Vows.

Are we on the threshold of a trial
marriage vogue? Is it gradually becom-
ing custom for the principals at we'd
ding ceremony to vow a lifetime part
nership with the mental reservation that
the limit OF a lifetime is six months or
a year?
Reports OF trial marriages and reser-
vation or conditional marriages come
from all over the country. II they are
to be believed. there's growing number
of brides and hri6egrooms who. even
while the gold circlet is being slipped
upon dainty fingers and the solemn words
until death do ye part are being ut
tered, already are Possessed of reciprocal
promises that the union is to be promptly
dissolved If either becomes dissatisfied.
Intentions Were Good.
OF course. for many years the increase
in divorce has LED TO the conclusion
that many snapped the marital chains
on very sE-ht provocation and without
having given the marriage state a fair
trial. But in all such conclusions 1t was
never alleged that the principals had not
entered into the agreement with hope
and confidence that the union would last
II might not have lasted long, but there
always :eemed to be the intention of hav-
ing it last as long as the VOWS enjoined.
The latest out and out acknowledgment
that a trial marriage was deliberately
planned and carried cut is the case of
MIR and Mrs. Carlston Wolsey Wash
hurne, of Los Angeles. It happens that
after the six months trial agreed upon
by the couple both remained satisfied and
all continued merry as a marriage bell"
But the intent was to dissolve the bonds
that held them together as soon as the
matrimonial pond began to unduly ripple.
Both acknowledge il was an uncertainty
and that they were lucky in having
chosen right The trial bride has de-
clared:
Love without permanent bonds brings
content We are perfectly mated. The
chief difference between our marriage and
others is that we do not enforce any of
the rights of privileges given US by our
legal marriage. l am recognized as per-
fectly equal partner in everything; have
my separate bank account and an equal
aalf of all my earnings and am in no
way subject to my husbands Will

By oLIvETTE.

DlTY the feelings Of one Mr.. Fritz
Jouda, manager of one of Paris
largest dressmaking firms, who
came over to the United States to in
troduce the new Tour de Lac" which
is a skirt and not lake promenade,
and then found that it had gotten here
before him.
The painful truth is that our Paris
friends have to get up very early to
get the fashion worm if they want to
beat America at it.
The new skirt, which is to be popu-
larized this spring, is much fuller
around the hips and sometimes it bags
at the knees, but no woman need feel
that she is to regain the privilege of
the use of her legs. No, indeed! The
skirts are just as tight as they can
be around the ankles. But they do
make it less of a problem to sit down
and rise again without undue exertion.
The new spring fashions and the
new materials are illustrated here.
Among the materials used viii be
crepes of all kinds from the six-cen
cotton crepe to the exquisite silk ma
terials that are crepe in effect and ex-
ceedingly high in price. Sicillienne and
mohair have come back into fashion
with a bang and will be welcomed by
the sensible women as well as the men,
who are used to mohair for summer

How carried her books thro' the wind and
To the little white school house far back the hill,
How you taught her TO skate the pond by mill
Your little sister?
All! do remember-though the years have
And boy has a sister of his
And you've taught him well to protect her
From every breath of shadow stain
His little sister!
And that boy of the other day,
He to you in dread dismay
And whispered tale that made afraid;
Stf-she merely serving maid"
But-she somebody's
For boys will be boys is what you thought,
And didn't remind him of what he taught.
Because, after all, you only meant
That all his chivalry should be spent
On his little sister,
So the world lies crushed meath its weight Of woe,
And and always 1t will be
Till men shall learn protect from
Somebody's sister well as theirs!
Be they aborers weary ladies' grand, "a

There is who loves and honors them
Among the rush and greed of
Some who calls them Sister"
