THE FREE WILL MARRIAGE
By ADA PATTERSON

A former President of the United States has been arguing for the free will mar riage.
 Yes, there are two kinds of marriage that of free will and that of necessity; cause one must. This is his description of the free will marriage:
 T wish that every woman in the world were so situated that she did not think it was necessary for her to marry if she did not want to. This is a proposition that am prepared to defend against all corners. I would have the matter so arr ranged that the women when they came to decide and make their choice, should have a full and free choice. and that can oily be reached when they are pus ,n is not a life they select because it is bet- ter than some that they expect, but a life that they look forward to with un- mixed happiness
 T shall give my daughter as good an education as l can," he said, ESQ that she shall marry only when she chooses to marry and not because of circumstances"
 This Is the best modern parental atti- ture. You who are prince today may be pauper tomorrow. Let your daughter bc u aimed to do something which can supply a community with necessities rather than lrxuries. The first pinch of hard times is felt by the purveyors of luxuries. Thea tres are closed. Theatrical managers fall. Actors salaries are cut % per cent. The concert singer finds herself without en- Eagements. Women who have their dressees made do without chiffon dancing frocks and limit themselves to serges fer the street and last winters dancing gown made over for house dress. The man who had an automobile last year sells it or at least keeps the old model and marches resolutely past the factory where this years model Is displayed. The girl who took piano lessons and French last year may have to dispense with them this.
 So while girl may be rich in the ac- complishments she would better ground herself in enough of domestic science to keep a boarding or lodging house. or enough of dressmaking to keep a shop. or enough management to keep tea room, or enough of hat trimming to keep a millinery shop. For food and shelter and clothes and hats we must have.
 Such training will b0nish from girls heart the great misgiving, the fear that she will not be able to earn her daily bread. IL will make . girl free to marry the man she wishes to marry. or to marry no man at all.
 If every girl were trained to follow some occupation. which if followed. will make her independent of marriage as g means of support, she need not marry ex- cept in obedience to the dictates of her heart Today many young woman mar

The Best O Husbands Tells How to Economize

how he was going to say the things he felt he really ought to say
 ''The Best O Husbands' sighed like an airbrake and then, mastering up cour- age, he brushed her prettiness aside and all the sentimental charm of things and began:
 q think that we ought to economize..
 He glanced around to see the effect of his words.
 The little 12-months- bride had hurt sort of look in her eyes.
 Mastering up courage. however. he de termined not to be driven away from his mission by his love and devotion to her. so "The Best O Husbands' continued implorinsly, as he saw the hurt look in her pretty blue eyes,
 You know I'm not crticizing. dear. You are a perfect little wizard at the housekeeping game, and for the life of me l can't see how you manage it on what l give you. but-but--"
 What cut would you suggest?" asked the little 12-months-old bride. crumpling up her chiffon scarf in her hands and busyng herself with it.
 "It seems to me that we have so many useless little bills for little things" he answered promptly; things that don't amount to anything, like
 Well like what?" she asked quickly.
 Like the cost of pressing my clothes" he answered promptly, "and lots of little repairs about the place that I should do myself (the repairs. I mean, not pressing my own clothes, of course,) and-''
 'I know. I know" said the little 12- months old bride. There are the bills for cleaning my white gloves. and the florists bills for the flowers for the table when fern would do just as well, and change for the boy who polishes our shoes, and"
 I've figured all that out dear" he said so pleased that -aher-; feelings were not really hurt and that she had shown so much willingness to cooperate ,swith him in the matter of economizing "and t~ a months time the better part of a bill. which goes for just such trifles can be put away in the bank. Let's re- form and do those things for ourselves and take the tips instead of giving them to others"
 ''Of course. we will" said the little 12- months-old bride cheerfuIly,i but to be perfectly frank with you, I am afraid we are both spoiled by having indulged ourselves in all these little things and it will be hard to be satisfied with hay ing amateurs like ourselves do them for us.'
 'All right, little lady, smiled .The Best O Husbands,' and then suggested that they'd both go to sleep and dream over the resolutions they had made
 'I thought I was saving" said the little 12-months-old bride a couple of evenings
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-02-28

''The Best O Husbands" looked very Thoughtful.
 l He was plainly prepared to do his duty hnd it was equally palpable that 1t was |disagreeable.
 "Kitten," he said gently calling his
 wife by one of his favorite pet names,
 which somehow sounded rather foolish bust then, "come here moment, will Hou?''
 The pretty little 12-months-old-b bride ap- peared promptly wearing the daintiest of rose pink gowns and silk hosiery to match Rnd high-heeled slippers. The day had been busy busting, rush. Ing sort of time for both of them, and they had decided after dining wisely and |wel that they would remain at home and have a nice, quiet, cosy little evening Together. undisturbed and quiet.
 Well" said the little 12-months- bride as she crossed the living room to where "The Best O Husbands rat de- bected and forlorn as if some blood re- lative had died, whom he had expected Ito leave him money and-hadn't. Has
