FLIES OF PREHISTORIC TIMES
Millions Of Years Old, They Are on
Exhibition In London, Preserved
In Amber.

Certain careless flies, ants and
other insects that existed on the
earth before there was man, entan-
gled their feet in deposits of resin
falling from the trees. The aroma
stupefied them and they died.
Meanwhile subtropical vegetation
disappeared from the Arctic circle,
continents separated themselves
from one another, life assembled in
the scale and man came and took to
wearing clothes and looking after
things.
Now, about the time when man
had learned to fly, these careless in
sects appear again, quite unchanged,
but set in amber. They are on view
in Old Bond street, London, where
the Royal Prussian amber mines
are now showing an exhibition of all
the curiosities of the kind that have
been discovered in their amber mines
in the last half-century. The chief
deposit of amber is at a place near
Konigsberg, near the coast line Of
East Prussia.
With the new freedom in colora
and decoration in women's dress,
amber with its variety of hue and
shapes has found a new Importance.
But it is better without the flies.

MARRIAGE A HABIT TO WOMEN
Writer Asserts They Want Husbands
to Escape Being Called

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 married woman"
has been a sort of boast of superior
ity on the part of wives. Naturally,
because their mothers and almost ey-
cry other person of their own sex put
great deal of emphasis on the de-
STABILITY of being married, and none
at all on the desirability, which
sometimes exists, of remaining un-
married, girls looked on marriage as
the goal of ambition, and bent their
whole energies 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 husband,
but simply to acquire the status,
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 we'd
The mother who is employing all the
arts and craft of the chase to entrap

daughters husband will weep at the
announcement that the other wom-
ans daughter has shackled her SON.
