MADAME SCHUMANN- HEINK'S
ADVICE TO JUNE BRIDES
''Love Is Not the Be All and End All of Marriage
Declares Famous Opera Singer.
BY MADAME scHUMANN HEINK

leads to a stormy and trouble
some married life.
The bride of June, or any other
month, IL she would be a success
full wife, must have learned from
either her mother or experience
that married life means some
thing very different from a good
time.
I sometimes think that QUITE az
many divorces can be traced back
to mothers as to mother-in-laws.
II is a very foolish bit of selfde-
ception on the part of the nlpther
to think that her daughter, who
has not thought beyond society
and her own selfish pleasure viii
settle down to the manifold cares
of married life without much UNI
happiness both for herself and her
husband.
All the poets have tried To tell
that the honeymoon is the most
enhancing of any that shines on
married lovers, but IL a woman IA
honest she will prabably tell you
that the first year of marriage ia
the most trying of all.

Bulgaria Young Becoming Empire

United, powerful empire; divided, weak prin-
cipalities, they fell easy victims to the Turks
and for nearly 500 years the Turks ruled SUI
preme.
But Bulgarians' visions of great empire, as
of yore, have never been dispelled and now they
are almost persuaded that their dreams are to
come true.
Bulgaria wants, above all things, a slice of
European Turkey to the Dardanelles, which will
give it the Gulf of Saros, a great seaport and
harbor.
And Bulgaria, is even at present, far from
being an insignificant country. 1t has area
Of more than 5000 square miles and pOpula-

Greece.
1t has quite respectable national debt as
well, which seems to be the Goth century stand
ard of Judging country's greatness 1t owes
$135,OO0,OOO at Az to 6 per cent interest.
It's ruler is of German descent, Prince Ferdn-
and of Saxe-Coburg, whose title, by the way, is
not king, but Gar of Bulgaria.
His salary, if it is proper to so call it, is $780,
900 year. He has four children, the oldest q,
the youngest 16. Bulgarias army is about half
a million strong all ready to fight at the drop
side it fights, just so Bulgaria gets it's slice.
But then that's war a-la-mode.
