EASY DIVORCES.

Believe me- IL all those endearing young
charms
Which I gaze on so fondly today
Were to change by tomorrow, and fleet In
my arms
Like fairy gifts fading away.
Thou wouldst still be adored. as this mo-
ment thou art,
Let thy loneliness fade as it will,
And around the dear ruins each wish Of
my heart 49,.
Would entwine itself verdantly still.
On trolley car the other day two
young men were discussing marriage.
One, q happy,go.lucky, devil-may-care
sort Of fellow, judging from his man
ner and speech, remarked to his COM
panion: Here's a bit of news for you!
l met the prettiest little girl you ever
laid eyes on last Monday, made her
acquaintance on Tuesday, proposed on
Thursday. would have married her
the next day, but her folks put clamp
upon my ardor. declaring she should
not be my wife for year. To my
mind it's silly notion, waiting a year
for. girl, If she suits you and you
suit her. Don't you think SOL"
Marriage is very serious matter"
declared his companion. "A year is
none too long to figure out the situa.
ton. What would you do II after
rapid.fire courtship and marriage you
were not suited to each other?"
Divorces are easy" retorted the
other, flippantly. The words we're
lightly spoken, but one could easily
determine that he meant what he said.
Internationally he touched the keynote
Of the divorce evil. It has to do with
the rich more than the poor. The hon.
est, thrifty young workman selects
sweet young girl of his own class.
Their courtship is romantic and ten
der. They usually bring up family
together. They may have their little
tifs-what married couples do not?-
but such thing as divorce never en-
tiers the mind Of either. The son and
heir Of wealth who has nothing to do
but kill time with pleasure encounters
a pretty lass. He would have her for
his own. He weds her with scarcely
more thought than he would purchase
a ticket for Europe. II they should
disagree or weary Of each other he
sor she would go motoring through Ne
vada, making headquarters at Reno.
A hard.luck story is told to the
presiding Judge. Without much ado
they who entered the door as one,
bound together by God until death
does them part, according to his laws,
are severed by man's-each to 60 forth
into the world either to walk life's
path alone or seek consolation in
new love. II uncertain in regard to
happiness in the new venture they
think they can afford to take chance
for they have found divorce so easy.
II a man and woman realized that
marriage was for life and that only
death could part them, the choice Of
helpmate would be made with utmost
caution and great care. Couples would
be slower to disagree and air their
troubles. Last remark: Easy divorce
laws not only break up the home but
the hearts Of innocent children who
still blindly love each parent. One
hand is stretched to father, the other
to mother. Their young hearts cry
out in bitterness against the laws
which made it possible to thrust aside
old ties and form new ones.

The work for girls at Hampton insti.
tute leads to the important occupa-
lions OF homemaking and teaching.
When a girl enters Hampton institute
she has the opportunity Of receiving
thorough training In domestic science.
The girls work daily for IL months in
the laundry and in the boarding de-
partments under the supervision Of ex-
perienced teachers, and carry on their
academic studies in the evening the
same as the boys who are in the work
class. The mental and moral training
that the year Of combined work and
study gives makes it one Of the most
valuable years of the course. The
working day for the girls. IL shorter
than for the boys. but girl may earn
from SIS to SIS month. This enables
her to be entirely self-supporting dur
ing her first year in school and to &C
cumulate a balance toward defraying
the expenses of the second year. A
girl in the, work class needs very lit
tie money besides her entrance fee
and first months board. The course
is advised for all new girls regardless
of their ability to pay their way in the
day SCHOOL,
Throughout their course at Hampton
institute, negro and Indian girls are
taught the elements OF arithmetic.
English, agriculture, history. as well
as scientific housekeeping. physiology

SOLEBURY CLUB
ELECTS OFFICERS
Farmers Name New Board for 1915
at December Meeting. Also
Discuss Many Subjects.
THE ORGANIZATION A BENEFIT

The December meeting of the
Solebury Farmers Club held Satur-
day afternoon at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. George H. Ely, near
the Solebury Friends Meeting
House, was devoted largely to
entertainment and the election of
officers. Those chosen for the en-
suing year were:
President, Albert H. Vasey, Sole
bury; vice-president, Edward john
son, Centre Bridge; secretary, Miss
Edna Lear, Lahaska; treasurer,
William W.. Hurley, New Hope;
executive committee: d. Curry Arm
strong, chairman, Solebury; Mrs.
Marion Ely, Solebury; Mrs. Re-
becca Lear. Lahaska; Carroll B.
Price, Solebury, and Don A. Daven-
port, New Hope.
An interesting discussion arose
over the effect of the club, upon
farming, sociable intercourse and
social standing.
George H. Ely was the main
speaker upon this subject, and he
said that from a sociable stand
point the club had undoubtedly been
a success; but as to the social side
he trusted that it had been a failure,
because there was wide gulf be-
tween the meanings of social and
sociable. There was no doubt about
the members being sociable but
whether being in the club had raised
or lowered anybody's social standing
in the community he did not know.
He doubted, sometimes, whether
the farming had improved any
through it's teachings, but thought
it had. There was considerable
discussion, pro and con, and it was
the coencensus of opinion that the
club had been a benefit both to
farm work and to the promotion
of greater sociability among the
members.
President Milton Kitchener want
ed to know what effect the clubs
forty years of talk upon roads had
had, and this aroused quite bit of
discussion.
Albert w. Preston said that the
supervisors could not do many things
that they would if they had the
chance.
George H. Ely said that he and
several other farmers along the
valley road leading from Phillips
schoolhouse to Center Hill, had
agreed to keep the road smoothed
down with a drag if the supervisors
would first grade it. Both had done
their parts, but the people persisted
