LOVE AND
MARRIAGE
Their Methods and Manifestations
By
ELLEN ADAIR

TTIHE various methods employed for the
j captivating and ultimate permanent
capturing of mere mankind have been a
fruitful subject for discussion this many
a day. The seasons new books are full
of It. "Any woman can have any man
she likes If she pursues him vigorously
enough, or eludes him-either does,
says Doris Egerton Jones in Thine O.
Day" There are two ways for woman
to get what she wants. Either chase 1t
for all she Is worth or run from 1t in
the same manner. 1t depends on the
man"
Yes, most decidedly it depends on the
man. The average man detests being
openly and obviously run after. For as
suredly 1t brings upon his head the ridi
cule of his fellow men and the scorn Of
his feminine acquaintances. The whole
point is i'm the manner of the running
after and in the varying degrees Of
diplomacy which accompany the pursuit.
Once let man see that he is being
bvroIy chased-then farewell, farewell to
rosy hopes of matrimony.
According to ThacKeray, any woman
with fair opportunities and not actually
n hump can marry whom she peases-
but he adds that it is a mercy that the
little dears are like the beasts Of the
field and do not know their own power
The artifices used by the weaker sex for
the capturing of the male creature fall
desperately wide of the mark through
their own ignorance of the nature of the
species. 1t is pathetic TO note the mis-
placed energy which is doomed to meet
with no reward.
Faint yet pursuing is their motto, and
, one which they will get leave to follow
to the bitter end, alone and unattached.
And all because a lack of diplomacy is
there. These women cannot and will
not understand the masculine mind and
the masculine point of view-and until
they do so they need never hope to be
successful in the Great Adventure.
For love is, after all, the Great Adven-
ture. 1t is at the same time the most
entertaining and most satisfying thing in
the world. To quote recent novel,
Love is good for any one. It's the most
educating thing in the world. If I could,
1 should insist on every one falling in
love at least three times under 30. We
should have lot less stupidity and mis-
takes in the world. Why, you learn
diplomacy, tact, sympathy, how to be

CHILDREN'S CORNER
A Porch Weather Vane

M7HEN the first warm breeaes of sum-
w mer began to blow through the win
dows, Jack Dillon announced that he was
ready to go to the lakeside.
But my dear boy" exclaimed his
mother, you can't go to the country for
weeks yet. There is a long time at
school, and couple of weeks afterwards
before we can get away. why are you
in such hurry?'
Jack sighed a big "Iate-in-t -the-spring"
sigh, and replied "Oh 1 know we can't
go yet worse lucl But do so want to
make boats. There's nothing so much fun
as making boats"
why don't you work on your boats
after school every night" suggested
mother; "then when it really comes time
10 go, you will have a lot of fine ones
all ready for sailing"
At first Jack thought that fairly good
idea and for several evenings he worked
\ diligently. But by the time he had fin.
1shed the second pretty little craft, his
enthusiasm waned and he said fretfully,
There's no fun in making boats when
they can't go! How can | tell whether
they are any good or not? How can |
know how to make the third one better
than the first, when the first is Just lay
ing on the shelf? No sir! I'll not make
any more till l can use themw
Mother heard him, and wished she could
think of some scheme for using boats
but she couldn't. Jack had long ago out
grown bathtub sailing there was no park
or lake near their home, and the tanks i'm
the city gymnasiums could not be used
for boats, even If the boats were beauti-
ful ones But I'll ask his father to-
night" said mother to herself, maybe
he can think of some way of using boats"
So that evening, Jacks father was ap-
pealed to and he thoughtfully studied the
question before he gave an answer. Yes,
you can use boats here at home" he
finally said make me four of the best
you know how to make, and l win show
you how TO use them"
you know you are just joking me-"
said Jack half veXed, you know boats
can't be used In a city"
''They can't?" laughed father "well,
you make me the boats, and wen see
about that"

The LaYette Movement

One of the most interesting and signifi-
ant benefits secured for women by the
Child Federation is the new 'layette"
movement. This is a system by which
layGttes are supplied for the new baby
at very little cost. These are hygienic
and especially prepared for the purpose
of giving mothers all over the State OF
Pennsylvania a well-planned, sanitary
equipment for their children.
Every one realizes the importance of
proper clothing regarding the welfare
of babies, and also that the cost of
this is often too great to assure it to
all. The Woman's Advisory Board, in
Guiding Miss Alice Biddle, Mrs Henry c.
Boyer, Mrs. John G. Clark, Mrs. c. II.
Ludington, Mrs. Norman Macleod, Mrs.
Thomas Robins. Mrs. George d. Widener
and Mrs. Alfred Stengel, chairman, have
successfully solved this problem. Here
after, the hospitals, department stores,
private physicians, homes and such agen-
cies will distribute complete layettes,
scientifically selected by the best baby
specialists. of an approved quality, and at
the lowest possible cost. Order cards
are already being distributed by the Child
Federation for this purpose With one
OF these, a mother can be assured that
she is obtaining the expert equipment
which specialists supply for the wealth.
lest children in the land.
The Child Federation stamp is put on
the layettes, which sell I'm the depart
ment stores, and with very few eXcep-
tions, all the large Philadelphia depart
ment stores are represented. This move
ment not only includes Philadelphia, but
the whole State of Pennsylvania, and
women all over the State are heartily in
dorsing the great idea 1t is a step
toward better understanding between
woman and woman, and a lasting tribute
to the future generation.

boats were equipped with tiny lights and
a rudder
When all four boats were ready, Jack
was justly proud of his work--no boy
ever made better set of boats, of that
he was sure.
Now where will you use them?" asked
Jack when he showed them to his father.
Come and see," was the reply. And
father showed Jack a handsome weather
vane he had had made. Into the four

When the Most Is Said

What's love when the most is said?
The flash of the lightning fleet,
Then, darkness that shrouds the soul
But the earth is firm TO my feet;
The rocks and the tides endure,
The grasses and herbs return,
The path 10 my foot is sure,
And the sods to my bosom yearn.
What's life, what's life, little heart?
A dream when the nights are long,
Toll in the waking days.
Tears, and a kiss, a song
What's life, what's life, little heart?
To beat and be glad of breath
While death waits on either side
Before and behind us. Deathl

.;EWETT CITY
Will Accept David Hale Fanning's Gift-Picture Man Abandoned LiV- cry Team in Providence.

The members of the school district meet tonight to accept the gift of $500 given by David Hale Tanning of Wor
 cester for the purpose of fitting up a gymnasium hall for the school chill dren. This sum was given to George A. Haskell, after Principal Emerson, who recently visited the factory in Worcester, had talked with MT Fan ming on the subject. No money was asked for, but it was offered. MT. Emerson stated that there was ab- solutely nothing for school boys in this town. After @ correspondence with MT. Hasken MT. Tanning sent him the check, saying he would give more if 1t was needed. There are no stipu- lations as to where the gymnasium shall be and the check is still in MT. Haskells possession. There are other school boys in the town who will not be benefited by this finc gift if the gymnasium is situated in the school hall. and ass the boys finish their course here they will fare the same unless the use of 1t Is made public and that would be impossible. This gift ought to be the nucleus of the establishment of some sort of gather ing place, properly conducted for all the school boys. Smaller towns than Jewett City have fine gyrnnasiunS with @ man >in charge of them. This could be done hero. if the people of the town would show some interest in tho we:fa9'c'of the growing young men.
