No Woman Expects a
Man to Reveal All His
Bachelor Life.

But no woman expects the man
she marries to make a clean breast
Of his past life to her before they
are married, nor does any man feel
called upon to recite the lftany Of
his sins to his prospective bride,
or deem himself dishonorable in
not doing So
And IN this. think. he is exact
ly right. The past of a man or
woman concerns the individual he
or she is going to marry only In
SO far as to the character it has
produced in the man or woman,
and the complications It has
brought about.
II the past Of a man or woman
has been such as to leave him or
her the victim of disease, that con-
Germs the individual he or she is
proposing to marry, and he or she
has right to know It in time TO
avoid being murdered or bringing
into the world sickly and neurotic
children. But the time will soon
come when a health certificate
will be attached to every marriage
license, so no personal confessions
ON this score will be necessary.
II man or woman has been
guilty in the past of some act that
leaves menacing scandal always
pursuing him or her, he or she
should certainly be honest enough
to tell the woman or man he or she
proposes to marry OF It before the
wedding day. No man or woman
has a right to bring unmerited dis
grace upon another.
But where the sins OF either a
man or woman have been merely
the follies Of youth, faults COM
mitted in hot blood and repented
OF as soon as done, and that have
mercifully left no sinister avenging
ghost behind. then they are best
buried deep in perpetual silence.
1t serves no good purpose to drag
the skeleton Of these misdeeds out

yards, where luncheon was served
for the party. During the meal a
pert miss. seated next to the

you like Chicago ham,"
The Dreamer of the Ghetto
raised his sorrowful face and said
quietly, Il like 1t, like it-much
better than Chicago tonguel"
Too much tongue is bad thing.
When we recall that some OF
the best and noblest who have
ever lived have been reviled and
traduced. indicted and executed,
by so-called good men--ceiseinly

we open our hearts to tales of
discredit?
The entire Salem witchcraft in
sanity was nothing but n bad
case of scandal Much of the
martyrdom and bloodshed of the
past can be traced directly to the
same cause. Nations have gone
to war because some princeling
has charged that king stuck his
tongue in his cheek and bit his
thumb when another king was

that when 1t is passed along from
one person TO another 1t takes on
ptomaines. The original remark,
uttered in a certain circle, may
have been utterly devoid of poi

is one who neither listens to nor
bears tales to any person of what
this one says or does. He treats
all with courtesy and fairness,
and Ike the great and loving Elk
ecutive, when his generals were
accused, deducts rs per cent from
every accusation and throws the
remainder in the wastebasket.
Actions alone count.
Where many men are employed
there are always some who are
full of plots and of schemes for
more pay, shorter hours or fa-
vors generally. They scheme to
have one foreman bounced" in
order to have another man. who
will help their cause, put in
charge.
Should success follow their eff
forts, and the old foreman be re-
placed, the first move of the new
man will probably be to dis
charge the conspirators who
helped him.
Men who eonspire and plot,
and who lend ready ear to the
idea of a strike, are marked on
every time book for dismissal
when the hour is ripe. And when
ever you find a man who spends
half of his time looking for a Job
you can rest assured that he is
one who carries a large cargo of
tongue"
You can never stand in with
the boss by telling him of those
who are laggards. The only way
you can win his favor is by set
ting the loafers a pace. He
knows all about the loafers. For
If he did not he could never sue

No man can ever succeed who
hopes to get better position by
defaming or dragging down the
reputation Of another. There is
but one way to win. and that is to
do your work we'll and speak Ill
of no one, not even as a matter of
truth. ANY other course leads to
fears, tears, woeful waste of life
force and oblivion.
There is only one way to win
the favor Of good men, and there
is only one way you can secure
the smile of success, and that is
10 do your work as we'll as you
can and speak Ill Of no one.

NEW NUMBERS FOR HOUSES.

Inauguration of the l0o-to-the-

room for considerable confusion
because of the use of imaginary
lines from the Pryor street engine
house to the State Capitol at Cap

avenue at Five Points to West
Hunter street beyond the Ter

A better plan would probably be
to let the line from north to south
follow Pryor street from the in

Grand Opera House, all the way
south to Lakewood. Pryor street
Is continuous thoroughfare,
coupled with Peachtree and West
Peachtree, and runs through the

South of East Fair street Il would
serve the purpose just as we'll as
Capitol avenue. The new ten
story Courthouse, Union Depot.
and Equitable or Georgia Trust
Building would be landmarks to
distinguish this dividing line.
To better define the line from
east TO west, where your plan
makes it imaginary, Edgewood
avenue could be used as a di-
viding line only east OF Pryor
street, West OF Pryor the line
could start az the Union Depot.

MS great novel, SSs Oh Ine
dUrbervilles" repeated itself
in real life in another city the
other day.
A young couple got married and
agreed to tell each other every
thing that had ever happened to
them. The man told his story,
and the woman forgave him his
sins. The girl told of single step
that she had taken aside from the
straight and narrow road, and the
man upbraided her with every re-
vilement he could think of, and or
dered her out of the little home
they had furnished with such hope
and happiness. The young wife
she was only child Of eighteen
went. But she did not go through
the door. She threw herself out
of the window and was dashed to
death on the stones OF the street
below.
This sad case Is a pathetic
illustration OF the double standard
of morals that the world has set
up for men and women The man
may do with IMMUNITY what the
woman is damned for doing. The
man excuses In himself the weak
nesses that he never forgives in
her. and he expects her to lightly
condone in him the offenses for
which he puts her out of doors
The most absurd and arrogant
provision of this double standard
Of conduct is the theory that OBJ
tains that woman who has had a
past should reveal 1t all to the man
who asks her to marry him before
marriage, and that If she doesn't
do 80 she has been guilty of a
most REASONABLE act.

PLAN FOR REMEMBERING.

'NH TGNO W o Z III NC.
Editor The Georgian:
1t does not matter where Won
begin numbering houses in At
lanta. The city is so cut up with
freak intersections that it's going
to be pretty hard to find yourself
Wherever you so. Here's the best
plan that | can dope out:
Draw line across your map
at Fair street. See? East to
west, from limit to limit. Num-
her your houses on the centenary
plan north and south from Fair
street. Fair street is the only
straight street from limit to linn
IL. Sure, It's got a little crook
In II, but it's not nearly SO
crooked as any other street that
is a candidate for the base. for
east or west or north or south.
OF course II does not start the
numbering in the center Of the
city, but what Of that? Other
cities get along with four number
addresses in the business dis
trict.
For a base to number east and
west from. take Moreland avenue
which is the Fulton DeKalh
County line. That throws big
numbers on the streets running
east and west into the business
district again.
Then when you go east from
the base and come to a place
where a street runs in on an
acute angle, start at again.
Follow the same plan. going west
from the base, or north or south
