Amelie Rives Urges
 Easy Divorce

Princess TroubetZkoy, known to a multitude of novel readers as Amelie Rives, author of "The Fear Market" "The Quick or the Dead" and many other volumes of fiction, was born fifty-three years ago today in Rich mand, Va. She began her career as a writer when she was twenty-five, about the time she became the bride of John Armstrong Chanler, from whom she was later divorced. Twenty years ago she was married to Prince Pierre TroubetZkoy, Russian DOT trait painter, with whom she has lived happy ever after.
 Princess Troubetzkoy is the earnest advocate of larger freedom for her sex, but by this she does not mean sex antagonism, but rather co-opera- ton and camarderie between men and women. The marriage contract, she holds, should be as easily sundered as any other civil contract.
 we are so conventional" said the Princess, "that it is difficult to make any one realize that true morality is served by freedom. by the right of women to independence of thought. This is not in any sense doctrine of license. The keynote of the feminist movement, as I see it, is the liberation of the caged bird. Political or pro- perty rights are relatively unimpor- tant as compared with the inner life, the point of view"
 Her ideal of marriage is one in which the wife and husband are part ners and friends, as we'll as lovers. Neither should have the power of control over the other," she insists. because 1t is not a relation of CO., ercion, but one of cooperation. The woman as we'll as the man should be a proQucer-not necessarily an eco- homie producer, although that is de- sirab1e if the circumstances make it practical, but an independent worker. It is better for both if the woman has some vital interest of the mind which keeps her occupied and dynamic as well as the man. This intellectual independence tends toward the per manency of marriage, both by doing away with monotony and by keeping husband and wife somewhat apart and preventing their relation from be coming commonplace and losing its charm"

MOUNTAIN LIONS WORRY
 CALIFORNIA CAMPERS

Pomona, Cal, Aug. 23. - Fearing that the two mountain lions which lave been prowling about Hogs Back, near Camp Baldy, are being driven by hunger to make attacks on homes of the campers, several hunting parties were formed to trail the beasts. The pair of lions were recently seen prow- ling near one of the camps.
 Led by Forest Ranger Carl Fritz, fifty campers started out in all direc- tions to follow the tracks of the ami mals. The trail was lost at the stream which runs down the canyon near the camp, but the hunters will keep up the search in squads day and night un- til the lions are killed
 A bounty of s20 for the hides adds to the zest of the campers, who enter tain fears that the animals may attack some of the small children in the camp

MARRYING A DOLL

"Of the idle and brainless the world
 has enough,
 Who eat what they never nave
 earned;
 Who hate the pure stream from the
 fountain of truth,
 And wisdom and knowledge nave
 spurned."
 If all men should love wisely, the major part of the worlds woes would be eliminated. It is usually the grave very sensible man who loses his heart to the fluffy, kitten kind of girl, Weos her and expects to make companion able, judicious wife of her.
 It does not take him long to learn after wedlock that i+ is impossible to make a hardworking bee out of put terfy He should not complain if he has to ray his hard-earned dollars for every hands turn '- is done for her. He should have realized that if girls ambition is just to look bewitch1ngly pretty it will take half a lifetime to make her realize that alarming hubby socks is of far more importance than spending hours factoring up her face to look fascinating in his eyes. If the cook leaves in a huff, the doll wife IS as helpless as a babe. She could not tell to save her life whether an egg should be baked, broiled, stewed or boiled or whether it takes five min utes or an hour.
 The doll wife loves herself more than she could love the best husband on earth. She never will become do- mesticated while there is a shred of her youth, beauty and power to fas- cinate left. Even having children does not bring about needed reform. She will dress her little girls like dolls and trig out her boys in long curls and fluffy frocks y6eil they rebel and their strenuous fight for pants is too much for her
 Her children-like her husband-are imbued with the belief that there is nothing mother can do The doll of sweet sixteen or even twenty Is a sight lovely to behold, but the woman who insists upon getting herself up like doll when she is nearly forty though ever so fair-is a cross to even the most patient of husbands.
 There is no use whatever in at- tempting to give advice to the man who Is in love. He is firm in the be- lief that you are prejudiced against HIS sweetheart, and reSentS 1t. After he marries the beauty whose sole aim is to outshine.- other girls he realizes that much beauty and little brains are poor combination in a wife.
 A young girl fair and sweet with the natural charms of youth needs TO false aids to enhance her comeIiness. No matter how lovely a sweetheart may be no man shou'd surrender his entire heart and hand to her unless she has a few accomplishments in the line of housewifery. She may be able to make maple caramels or be an ex- pert at sugar kisses, but knowing how to broil steak or bake, griddle cakes to golden brown discounts all she can concoct in the line of sweets
 A wife should be useful as we'll as ornamental. It's a mans own fault if the doll he weds refuses to learn to do household tasks after marriage. He should have expected that
 If man puts the question fairly to a girl-"Can you manage a home from the parlor to the kitchen ?''-ere he proposes, under ban of leaving her if she answers 'No," more girls would learn to be housekeepers without de- lay. ,
