and catalogued. Desiccated, selfish, ego
tistic, it is an unhappy portrait gallery he
asks you to witness, but when you begin
comparing those cases with men and women
in real life of whom they actually remind
you, admiration for Georges perspicacity
shoots high.
Marriage, George declares is the only
insurance company that issues policies
against loneliness.
THE fight against loneliness" he writes,
"in which millions are engaged, is perhaps
as cruel as loneliness itself. In youth the
natural cure is sensation, the occupation
called amusement, which consists in looking
on at the pleasures of other people who
have found companlonship in being a spec
tator in theatres and at sport grounds, in
making brief and disappointing experiments
in what one thinks to be love. The disap-
pointment grows slowly, because one always
hopes that the next occupation will be a
pleasure. whereas It is only a pastlme thus
one swiftly arrives at the view that time
is an enemy which must be killed and not
winged fairy fit to carry a man through
all the kingdoms of the world"
Many women, doubtless. will take issue,
in this day of more than equal opportunity

Admits, Finally, That
the System Is About
the Best we Know Of
for Carrying on Life

for women, with this femlnist's assertion
that "all the world Is open to man, while
woman has only love- II women have not
that, they seldom have anything at ALL
still" he adds, 'In both cases bachelor
and spnster develop analogous symptoms.
They tend to- grow precise in the ordering
of their furniture, their clothes their hours
and occupations, to resent violently any
disarrangement of their lives. A SNUG sat
sfaction arises and at that stage the
bachelor or spinster is difficult to rescue
THE CHILD MOST IMPORTANT
without bringing any moral reasons to
bear against the free alliance, the writer
a more mature George than the author OF
THE Second Blooming"-jumps at the very
cruX of its danger to happiness.
Most important Is the child" he writes,
who must remain forbidden to the Rdven-
turers. In many Of us the child Is the eN-
preston of true love, an offering to the
present, a hostage to the future. Those who
marry and want no children have not always
married in error, for human types are
various and not all Of us care for so close
a common bond as is the child but there is
Something lacking in their desire for unity.
They find no need for tangible expression
Of that unity. And what is tragic is that
often in unavowed unions there is deep
but unrealizable desire for the child"
But right here George cannot resist a
whack at the monotony of marriage, which
he has in the past been so fond or en-
phasizing.
"The child thrives best in rather hum
drum marriages, because It is the most
vital fact in relation not very Stimulating
in itself 1t is interesting to watch It grow
II is fiattering to find II intelligent, and
one generally does; it is amusing to plan
it's future, even though one knows that 1t
will probably plan itself. All that means
marriage, because marriage is the child s
atmosphere. it's mental protector. To feed
the body of child is not enough. 1t needs
another food made up of the love and in
terest OF two persons who by its means have
intertwined their lives"
But in the conclusion, IL nowhere else,
George will be George.
"All this does not mean," he fairly
flaunts It, that modern marriage does not
need to be made more easy. Leaving out
the care of the child, marriage must grow
more possible of conclusion and dissolu-
tion; II must see to 1t that II and You
are not entirely merged in We; it must
acquire a more republican tendency. Mar
rlage will have to allow a greater freedom,
because denial of freedom breeds passion
for rebellion.
"In every home a marriage republic "
he concludes, us a pretty good motto for
coming times"
Free marriage, II would seem then, rather
than free love, is this interesting feminists
more mature and wiser summing up of the
ideal human relationship between a man
and woman.

kiss girl any time you think she will let

Rest (COncIuded)

TF EXERCISES are taken at bedtime
J. they should end with a few exercises
that will promote relaxation of all the
muscles and an equal blood supply through
cut the body The exercises should be OF
the same nature as the following, and
should be done lightly, with as little exer-
tlon as possible:
(a) Stand easily erect chest we'll raised
and abdomen drawn in and raise the arms
above the head. Then let them fall gently
first the fingers, then the wrists, then the
arms.
(b) Stand erect as before, and let the
head fall gently forward, then the arms ana
the trunk above the waist. The breath
should be expelled at the same time After
a little pause raise the body slowly, breath-
ing In slowly at the same time.
(c) Let the arms hang at the sides, then
slowly and gently swing them from side TO
side, gradually letting the head and then
the trunk swing with them.
Deep breathing Ia one of the best Of ex-
ercises for promoting sleep, but II should
be taken near an open window, IL not en-
tirely in the open air Insomnia Is gener-
ally cured effectively by avoiding late sup
pers and taking a prolonged bath at a tenn
perature of 80 degrees to 90 degrees F.
Just before retiring.
Since sleep Is such an essentially vital
function, II Is important to maintain those
conditions which VIII be most conducive TO
II. ones daily habits of eating, exercise,
work and thought have largely to do with
ones ability to secure good sleep so like
wise has ones environment during the Pc
riod of sleep.
Every sleeping room should be large and
well ventilated. Fifteen feet square is not
too large space TO afford an adequate
supply of air to maintain healthful atmos-
phere during the hours of sleep IL, as is
customary, two persons occupy the room.
Seldom, however, are such commodlous
quarters set apart for sleeping rooms. The
living rooms are chosen with a care for
comfort and health, but the smallest and
most inconvenient rooms on the shady side
of the house are considered quite good
enough to sleep in," apparently on the as
sumption that because during the time spent
In sleep one Is oblivious to the things
around him, II matters little what these
surroundings be. Few people but would
object to spending one-thrd Of their lives
amid unwholesome surroundings during the
daytime. and why should any one be will
ing to spend thus the same proportion of
time while asleep?
The ideal sleeping room should have
windows upon both sides, one facing the
east, that the morning sun with its dis
injecting rays may freely enter to dry and
purify the bedding as It is spread open for
its daily airing and to search out and dis
infect any nook or corner where dust and
germs may have found lodgment.
Bedsteads Of iron or brass are considered
the most sanitary. They are less cumber-
some than wooden ones less liable to har-
Dor vermin, more easily kept free from
dust, and, in case of infectious diseases,
more easily dlsinfected. Feathers, while
