"HE phonograph is unquestionably the most
wonderful musical instrument that has ever
been made.
A mechanism by means of which an inarticulate
record can De translated into Hiring sound; which can
create from silence, as it were, the melodious tones of
musical instruments, and the actual voices of human
beings, is nothing short of miraculous. To the genius
who invented the monograph and those responsible
for it's present development should be accorded all
praise.

eyes, have been thinking of mar
rage a lot lately" repeated Mollie,
'but truly, Margie, L believe that
after a girl has passed through such
an experience as 1 had with Chad
wick Hatton she will always stop,
look and listen when another man
asks her to marry him. l was greatly
surprised when Jim Edie asked me to
marry him the other night.
WAS it the night he brought you
to the Symones'?" 1 asked. p
Eyes, why did you ask?" she an
swered.
well, you had that rather excited,
triumphant look that a woman al
ways has when a man has been max
ing love to her; besides, noticed you
we're keeping Jim guessing. He never
took his eyes off you the whole even
ing. He did not even ask me to dance,
and you know Jim loves to dance with
me better than any one else"
"Oh, he does, does he, I'll have to
look out for you if decide to marry
him. What do you suppose made old
Jim, whom l have known and loved
in sisterly fashion ever since could
talk, all at once decide that he was
in love with me?" she added, rather
wistfully.
well, my dear, l believe it is be-
cause he thinks you are like your
Aunt Mary. He told me long time
ago that he would be afraid to marry
for fear he would wake up some
bright morning and see totally diff
ferent woman across the breakfast
table. 4 don't believe could stand the
shock he whimsically affirmed"
MoIlie's eyes danced with mischief
as she said.

him marry me with that idea and
then should grow to be like mother.

have never cared much for boys.
However, Margie, do you think /
would be perfectly content to jog
along without any of the thrills that
come to a woman when a man ceases
to make desperate love to her?
Il don't believe l shall ever again
have that mad moment of absolute
bliss that had when Chadwick Hat
ton crushed me in his arms and kissed
me. 1t seemed to catch me by the
throat. Instinctively l clasped my
hands across my breast to keep it
within my soul 1 guess such joy is
too great to last, for although 1 was
heartbroken for a time after he had
gone, yet eventually ceased to have
that made pumping at my heart every
time heard Chadwick's name spok-
en-. My heart grew calm and cold
and came to know that this tumult
we call love and vow is eternal would
have nothing to do with making life
with him happiness, nor even worthi-
ness.
81 knew it was only the call of that
old matchmaker, nature. who, after
we have answered with trembling
limbs and eager lips, pays no more
attention to us. She does not care
whether we are happily married or
not, as long as we are mated. Indeed,
she does not even care if we are prop
erly mated. .-.-.
Natures sole business is to mate,
and having done so, her work is
done.
'It is left for us, poor human be-
ings to cover this sordid fact with
romance and ideality and to hug to
our souls the pleasing lie that the
great Joy will last.
81 tell you, Margie, this romantic
education we are giving our girls is
all wrong. We are educating them
neither for sweethearts nor wives"

New York, March 22.-Is hope
Iessly invaided wife a rightful rea-
son for husband taking ''the prim-
rose path?"
And, on the other hand, has
wife the privilege of demanding from
a healthy husband allegiance to
vows which have become altogether
imperative because of her bodily
death?
Such are the startling problems
poised against the musical comedy
world of Times Square by '"The
Shadow" the new play in which
Ethel Barrymore has opened her
spring season at the Empire theater
in New York. The play is Anglicized
from the French.
AS a contribution to the contempt

for it allows her to place on view the
most finished acting of her career
and all in spite of the fact that the
play, in itself, gives her scarcely one
vital line to speak!
This is because the author has not
thought out his problem. He first
shows Berthe Trengnier, hopelessly
paralyzed for the past six years. Her
husband, an artistic genius, is most
