Marrying for Fear of
Being an Old Maid

determined by law, beyond which the
most cruel taskmaster cannot drive her
She has her pay envelope at the end OF
the week, and. generally speaking, she
has no anxietes beyond providing for
herself.
The poor wife and mother tolls from
dawn until far into the night at tasks
that are never done. She receives no pay
for what she does, and she has her heart
continually torn to pieces with anguish
over the deprivation her children must
suffer- and the fear that the time will
come when she will not be able to even
give them bread.
Nothing but an overwhelming passion
for some man that makes a woman feel
that she would rather starve and slave
at his side than to ride in automobiles
and feast on terrapin and champagne
away from him should tempt n girl to
give up a good position in the business
world to marry a man who is max
ing less than she does. A great love
can gild the hardest lot, but without love
the sacrifices a poor mans wife must
make eat into her very soul, and make
her curse the day she was fool enough
to marry him.
It Is q cruel thing that parents should
be willing to ieopardize a daughters
happiness by urging marriage on her,
but they do. II the girl is dependent on
them 1t leaves her in a peculiarly help
less position, but when the daughter is
working girl, who earns her own liv-
ing, she has u perfect right to tell them
that as long AZ they do not have to sup
port her she will do as she pleases in the
matter.
We do not stop to consider the sig
nhicance of the thing morally, but this
is the first generation of really virtuous
women the world has ever known, be-
cause for the first time in the history of
the world women have been able to
marry for love alone, and not forced to
marry for home, and between the
woman who marries just to get some
man to provide her with food, and raj
ment, and shelter, and the woman of the
street, there is no whit of difference.
If, girl can marry we'll, IL she can
marry the man of her heart, and the man
with whom she can take an upward step
In the world. by all means let her enter
the holy estate. But to marry when she
doesn't love and just any sort of
make-shift of a man just to be marrying.
and to keep from being an old maid. ia
not only a crime, 1t means the wreck of
all happiness in her life.

Of wisdom to conceal this Jealousy, but
the beginners at the same, those who
take love most seriously, and who re-
gard it not as an incident in life, but
all of life itself, are never wise in play
Ing their parts. They love without re-
straint, they are just as uncontrolled
in the fear, hatred and resentment OF
Jealousy. The man and woman who are
Jealous, and show It. defeat their own
happiness, but the objects of their adora-
ton and suspicion have the satisfaction
of knowing 1t is not q love that has
bloomed before.
A young girl writes me that she has
every assurance of her sweetheart's
love- but
There is a girl that cares a lot for
him and she puts herself on him every
time she sees him, and If we are at a
party she hangs around him so that 1
never can have a pleasant conservation
with him. He says he doesn't care for
her, but hear he is at her house when
not at mine"
Another girl tells a story of jealousy
as follows
He admits he writes TO her but says
he never goes to see her. 1 scold him
about 1t all the time. He calls on me
every night in the week but one, and I
am very suspicious. Do you think he
goes to see her the right he is not with
me7"
Another girl, with as convincing proof
OF her sweetheart's love. wants to know
how she can find out what he does the
two evenings week he is not with her.
1t would break my heart" she writes
to find he calls an another girl"
The writers of these letters are very,
very young. If they were older they
would now that no mans love is held
by nagging; they would have learned
that jealousy is a flattery a lover soon
resents. Pleased at first because of it's
display. since 1t shows the girl loves him,
he grows very ansgry when II exhibits
itself I'm nagging, suspicion and distrust,
and II he is as wise as his fathers he
transfers his heart 10 n harbor of love
that il more peaceful.
1t is third nature to be Jealous, but
1t is possible to get such control of this
very human weakness that it takes to
itself all the strength of indifference.
The lover is longest the lover who is
kept guessing; he Is truest who has the
girl to win, and every mark OF jealousy
is proof that she Is already won and re-
CARDS him as such a prize she loses all
pride in her desire to keep him
Green eyes, girls. are never the eyes

By MRS. FRANK LEARNED.

An entertaining chapter, "Silhouettes OF
Everyday Life" is in Madame Jarint-
zoff's recent book, Russia, the Country
of EXIT emes." In 1t the author, who has
visited much In England, tells OF the dis
similarity between certain Russian and
English customs.
Very frankly she critlcises the care
lessness OF Russian parents in not teach
ing children how to behave at the table
and she considers that English writers
who have visited Russia have been gem
erous in mot having mentioned our
manners at the table"
Although the Russians learn good man
ners with the natural growth OF polite
ness and good taste, there exists nothing
like the English code OF manners at the
table which children are so carefully
taught.
For instance, the reader is surprised to
learn that mo Russian has ever heard
that drinking tea from a spoon or leav-
ing the spoon in the cup Is bad manners
and he does not pay the slightest atteu-
ton to the relative position of his cup
and his plate at the table" Furthermore
il Is startling TO be told that he uses the
butter knife for buttering his own slice
Of bread, after which he puts II back as
innocent of his crime as an angel"
The author says that she can well
Imagine that English readers will be
shocked at these descriptions Of conduct
at the table and OF other things, which
she very delightfully."- acknowledges, Gar
upon the nerves OF even us Russians
when we have lived in England for some
time"
Although she hopes that her book makes
II clear that universal respect for women
is expressed In many ways in Russia,
she observes that boys and men have
not learned to get up and open door for
lady simply because she is a woman.
nor are children taught TO stand aside to
let ladies or visitors pass through a door
way first.

Madame Jarintzoff tells OF some OF the
polite customs among Russians which
mean much to them by way of consider
ate feeling and good taste. They never
finish a meal without saying Thank
YOU TO the hostess. They always greet
every one in a room or when meeting
them first In the course OF the day, and
when saying goodby or leaving a room
they do not ignore any one OF those
present. While she admits that polite
ness In this is perhaps overdone, it Is
better than coldness or discourtesy.
AS a final summing up OF contrasts in
manners the author cannot resist a play
full little thrust when she writes. I'VE
never touch Jam with a knife-it sets our
teeth on edge" And she is positive that
indigestion" as a topic of conversation,
is relegated from Russian dining or
drawing rooms. When she first came TO
England. she admits that she blushed
each time at the sound OF that word.
Russian boys and girls she tells us,
are gifted and clever but often lazy, self
willed, offhand and noisy TO an extent
that would upset and English household.
Even at the risk OF offending her own
compatriots she states that their children
are spoiled, while English children seem
born with perfect manners"

but II requires great care. II the tail
Is cut too short with a knife the lamb

shepherds ear with a hot iron the
end OF the tail after being cut with
a knife or chisel on a block OF wood.
and this generally stops bleeding.
There Is now. however, an instru.
ment on the market which does the
work quickly and efvectually and with
no bad results. 1t is q pair OF blunt.
edged pincers which are heated to
white heat and then used 10 bite" or

used the tail may be cut closely with.

After the operation the end OF the
tail should ba covered with clean nine
tar-some shepherds use coal tar-to
prevent flies from troubling the lambs.
h animals should be watched close
ly, particularly II the docking IL done
late In the season. until the wound
has healed. to see that no flies have
attacked them.
The lambs should be castrated when
locked. This. although a simple
operation, should not be attempted by
a novice. but should be done by an
experienced man.
