a PRAYER

Let me have a good sense OF proper
tion. Let me live more In today, in
stead of living so greatly in the past
and counting so largely upon the fu'
ture. Teach me to realize that regrets
over the past win get me nothing
while too great preparations for the
future many find me In my grave and
unable to cash in on the climax. Teach
me TO realize that the man who spends
All his earnings is simply and solely an
asset to his relatives. Enable me 70
get into the cheerful frame OF mind
where today always looks fair and
bright. where all the disagreeaole
things In the past are forgotten and
where the future does not assume q
vastly oyerrated Importance in the
present.

WRONG VIEWS OF MARRIAGE
Brooklyn Lawyer Tells OF Some Popu-
lar Impressions That Are Entire
iy Erroneous.

Some persons believe. says Mr..
Hugo Hirsh OF the Brooklyn bar. in
Case and Comment, that marriage
can be entered into by any man or
woman. regardless of age. race, re-
lationship. or condition. But in this
they are mistaken. for every state has
its own peculiar laws regarding. limit
ing and circumscribing entrance into
this relationship as the same may be
affected by those provisions.
Some persons believe that fraud,
force. duress coercion, used for the
purpose of bringing about marriage
between man and woman. do not af-
feet the legality of the relationship,
but in this they are mistaken, because
every state and territory has law
providing for the annulment of mar
riages caused by fraud. force, etc.
Some men believe that wives are
chattles and may be beaten into sub
mission. This is grave error, for In
many of the states such conduct is
cause for an absolute divorce. and in
nearly all of the states It is cause for
n legal separation.
