Marriage a Habit to Women.

Women have the marrying habit;
men do not. This is not strange, for
generations of girls have been taught
that every woman should be married,
and that to remain unwed is a dis
grace. Being a married woman has
been sort of boast of superiority on
the part of wives. Naturally, because
their mothers and almost every other
person of their own sex put a great
deal of emphasis on the desirability
of being married, and none at all on
the desirability, which sometimes ex-
lists, of remaining unmarried, girls
looked on marriage as the goal of
ambition, and bent their whole ener-
gies to getting husbands.
Rather than endure the stigma of
being "old maids" they took the
first man who gave them a chance.
Their object was not love, not hus-
band, but simply to acquire the sta
tus, privileges and Difference which
they had been taught were denied to
all of their sex except the married
woman"
, The same mothers who fairly drive
their daughters to marry are singu-
larly reluctant to see their sons wed.
The mother who is employing all the
arts and crafts of the chase to entrap
some other mans son for her
daughter's husband will weep at the
announcement that the other wo-
mans daughter has shackled her
son.

authorities say that flies exist all the

ALLIES FOR 500 YEARS.
Great Britain and Portugal Always
Close Friends.

If Great Britain is drawn into the
war in Europe, Portugal necessarily
will become involved, according to
Prof. Siqueira Coutinho, of the Uni
versidade Live, Lisbon, who is at the
Raleigh, says the Washington Post.
Prof. Coutinho is in this country to
study commercial relations between
the United States and Portugal and
to deliver a course of lectures on Por-
tuguese literature.
Portugal is Great Britain's oldest
ally" said Prof. Coutinho. Away
back in the 11th century Portugal
and England contracted an alliance
for defense and onfense, and it has
existed ever since. In the South Af-
rican war Portugal facilitated the
transportation of British troops
across her territory, and in previous
wars in which England was involved
always stood by her ally. The situa-
ton in Europe is ominous. One can
not contemplate it without the grav-
est apprehension.
Il have found in my brief visit to
America that Portugal and this coun-
try can extend trade relations with
mutual profit" continued Prof. Cou-
tinho There is a market here for
our wines, preserved figs and fish,
olives, cork and cocoa, and you can
send directly to the Portuguese mar
kets textiles and machinery. We
have bought quantities of machinery
from the United States, but nearly
all through European agents. There
is no reason why we should not deal
direct It would be profitable to both
nations"
Prof. Coutinho expressed the great
est confidence in the future of the
new republic of Portugal, notwith-
standing SPANS efforts to stir up
the royalists.
"Whatever agitation there has
been on the part Of royalists and fol-
lowers of former King Manuel has
been due to Spain" he said. Spain
provided the money for the arms and
ammunitions of the royalists, but
thew can never succeed. If Manuel
we're to return to Portugal l should
fear FOR his life.
Business has not been so good IN
Portugal. We have suffered from
depression as have most of the other
nations, but l find that here in this
country business is worse than 1t Is
in Portugal"
