DO GIRLS SPOIL THEIR
 OWN MARRIAGE CHANGES?
By IRENE WESTON

Assuredly one of the principal reasons for the oft lamented fact that men won't marry is the extravaganza of the mod ern girl, and her deplorable lack of the housewifely, slipper warming, tea-mak- ing qualities.
 Against this sweeping indictment there will be hurled I know, perfec. tempest of wrathfui protestations; but the fact remains that girls ruin their own chances of marriage nine times cut of ten simply through their mis- taken views of life and the thinks thar, in the long run. make for happiness.
 Take the typical maiden, whose par ents are, as they themselves would de . clare. comfortably off'--on something ranging from $20 to $50 week.
 Had she been of her own mothers day she would gladly and as matter Of course have devoted herself to house. keeping arts from the moments she left school-thus fitting herself to become a good wife and, incidentally, saving her fathers pocket the price of servant.
 To go needlessly into the big worl1 would have seemed to her foolish as W tll dS TdtIltI Wicheu pIOCtcuiii6. IIofi- dence having provided her with a safe and comfortable shelter, eshe stayed in it contentedly until she left it for Il home of her own, home she by TO means expected to bes the equal of the one she left--to insist on beginning where parents leave off being failing of the damsel of today.
 She scorns the idea of housework- the very word is anathema. Mademoi- selle requires much service at the hands of those she considers fitted to perform such tasks; she elects to become wage earner.
 Possibly she proves both diligent and clever, and speedily earns decent sal ary. More probably she is just one of the many thousands of pin money workers, who spoil the market for the living wage earners, and so keep down the marriage rate.
 In either case--small salary or big 1t all goes on her dress and personal amusements, and extravagance in both directions out of all proportion to her position in life. becomes second nature to the foolish fair one.
 Love, we are often told, is blind. But the man in the marrying mood, if he can find a suitable mate, Is exceedingly keen eyed and timorous.
 To the young fellow of her own class. the expensively dressed vision who prattles gaily of new plays and foreign tours, Is distinctly frightening. How could he dare venture to ask her to share his lot--the lot of the $15-a-week clerks wife-when she is used to gaily spending half that on the luxuries of life in the same period?
 It has been truly said that this is an age of show rather than comfort Every thing Is sacrificed to appearances. The whole tendency is to live beyond one s means, and thousands jeopardize the in- comes they have to seem to possess more but the greatest and most foolish sim nes is the modern miss.
 To do him justice, the average man is !! very simple minded, much as his fath- | CTS were sort of individual. When he 1 thinks of marriage, 1t Is of q bright and ! winsome little helpmest he dreams. A

UNCLAIMED ENGLISH
A Short Dissertation on '"Try and
 Go" and Similar Phrases


 How old is land" in the sense of "in order to-" which your correspondent dis cusses? asks the New York Sun. Away back about the time when bluff King Hal was cutting capers around Anne Boleyn in England, and Francis I of France was consolng himself with arts and literature for the lack of generalship that caused him to be made prisoner by Charles of Spain, who later became King of the Romans and Emperor of Germany with the title of Charles Win those days Will liam Tyndale busied himself with trans- lating the New Testament into English. and when he came upon Acts Il A prompt ly rendered the text, Peter began and expounde the thinge" This was in the year 1926
 Ten years later poor Tyndale was strangled as heretic-a fate that some of us may wish might befall thoss pur- fists who object to try and find the age of an idiomatic phrase before they con- demn it. When a form is nearly four centuries old surely 1t has earned title to place in the first rank as good English. If not, perhaps the sponsorship of John Milton, of Samuel Johnson, of Thomas Moore and of William Stanley Jevons is sufficient to place the form beyond the reach of meddling peddlers of ''canned English
 Quite apart from this. such expressions as "try and do your duty" Ego and bring my hat" may have a twofold explana- ton. They may express merely the close conjunction of the two acts, the idea of purpose or result belonging to the verb (try or go) rather than to the ''and' which still retains its conjunctive force Or, the 'and' may be used as a common or colloquial equivalent of "to' used with the infinitive. ''try and go," and ''go and bring" being used for "try to go' and Ego to bring" in which case the ''and" carries the Idea of purpose or result
