Divorce and the Choice of Men.
By BETH JEFFRIES.

Men are fooled by their choice o.
women, but they like to be fooled
They don't take the real thing when
they can get 1t.
This is the statement of man siNen
az a cause for divorce.
Yes, one Of the many causes. for there
are many, aud they are all good ones.
People, generally speaking, never die
Of Just one thing. They struggle along
bravely with one terrible malady for
years, but it is only when complica-
tions set in that they die.
In the same manner, diseases ana
evils of society can wreck mankind only
through complications. Every 10: al
evil which threatens to disturb the bed
rock Of civilization has great number
OF causes. For instance, every once in
while some one comes along with
a new cause for the high cost OF living,
or for the increase In divorce. Instead
Of rejecting the new arguments be-
cause one vital cause has not been
discovered, they should all be accepted
for it is all of the causes put together
which make the trouble.
ITS the fault OF the men, said the
elderly gentleman. ''They like to be
fooled! They would rather marry a
oman who is false from the crown Of
her head 10 the soles Of her feet than
a homely Giri who is honest inside and
out. They marry the wrong kinds of
women
Now. what this man said sounds very
much like a giveaway to his own sex.

elements Of likelihood.
