NINE. GRUNDY is NO MORE.
The War Is Responsible for the
Collapse of Her Throne.

One highly significant parsonage has
quietly disappeared from public view
in the course of the war-a very great
and powerful lady who, though COM
moner in name, style and title, exer-
cised a more royal sway upon our
lives and our opinions not long since.
True, her dictates and rulings had, of
late years, become of lessened regard,
and her pernicious authority had met
with some ridicule instead of the al
most universal reverence of former
days; still this silent resignation this
complete retirement from the arena is
surprising, and more surprising still Is
the fact that nobody seems to have
noted it. Can it be that Mrs. Grundy
is definitely defunct? In the strictest
confidence, almost in a whisper. let us
agree that she has had a long inning,
and that We will try to manage to get
along as best We may without her.
With womankind working in male at
tire, and doing all sorts OF things of
the most ungrundified description; with
a sort of grownup feeling that We can
manage our own lives by the light of
our own good sense and good taste,
and with a profound conviction that
the future must be better than the
past, let us trust that she has gone
and left no issue. - London Gentle
woman.

GOOD PICTURES.

Have you ever looked at the pic
lures hung on the walls in the homes
Of your friends? Do you not find
an odd assortment Of congIomerate
subjects, and poor printing? Have
you ever looked. with seeing eyes, at
the pictures displayed on your own
walls? And is not with much the
same result?
Walls are, or should be. dignified,
and dignifiod pictures should be given
space thereon. Choose your pictures
with care. DO not buy or hang a
picture Of passing interest. Remem-
Der you have to live with #, and
therefore it should have time wear
ing qualities.
Why not choose a picture which has
lived through all the ages. a picture
which has been loved and studied
through generations?
A good photogravure is always bet
ter than a common print; it has the
mellow qualities OF good vellum. the
faithful honesty of reproduction.
Rather have one good picture in your
room than a clutter of worthless
ones.

ARE WE TRUE TO OURSELVES,

said Dick. as I finished the para
graph about women not being able
to accept fealty with a string tied
to IT. do you know. dear, that this
woman's philosophy makes me think
Of yours?''
"of course. and do you know the
reason why. Dick2"
mo. / can't say that do"
1T is because the philosophy of all
women who live and think and ex-
perience is the same. We want truth
and loyalty without strings. just as
you do. 1t is humanity's great desire,
a desire seldom attained"
well, what does the woman out
side say?" Dick asked as he sat for
a moment silent, evidently digesting
my idea.
"she says. And what is the answer

| is not a case of this kind that could
not be prevented If the girl had been
taught that love affairs with married
men are not wistfully and sadly ro-
mantle. They are just asinine, and
4 brand of idiocy in which nobody but
a born fool girl would indulge.
! Then there is the secret marriage.
A multitude OF other girls slip into
that Shiny pit through sheer ignor-
ance Of what il means and Of the kind
! OF man who is cad and coward
enough to even insult a girl by pro-
posing it to her.
There would be no more secret mar
rlaSes If every girl gave the man who
! proposed 1t to her an icy stare and
said to him: I'm wise to YOU and
your kind. and there's nothing doing
in the secret marriage line for me, for
| l know that it generally also means
the silent fade away about the time
| that wife needs a husband most.
Anyway, 1 am not marrying any man
who is so ashamed to have me for a
wife that he is not willing to come
out and acknowledge her before his
| friends. Neither am I keen on marry
! ing any man who is so undesirable
that he isn't willing to let my family
/ investigate him and lind out Just what
/ sort of man he is.
What's the idea in the secrecy
stun, anyway? If you are poor, am
willing TO wait until you earn more,
or Will go to work and help to make
! money. As fer the old fairy story
about being disinherited by your fami-
ly, that doesn't go in the little old U.
good to you as being remembered IN
a will there's nothing doing.
Secrecy and matrimony don't ap-
peal to me in the same connection.
I've known of too many secret brides
who spent the balance of their lives
in trying to explain to an incredulous
world that their marriage certificates
were genuine"
Finally, there is the pathetic host o:
the poor unfortunates, whose end is
the street, the morgue and the river.
Their story Is always the same. They
fell In love with some man, they
trusted him blindly because he prom
ised marriage and he kissed and rode
away.
When one hears this story told over
and over again in every accents of
| NpISdh, ana shame
4 and misery, one is divided between
contempt and pity for the poor dupes
who were so easily deceived, and OF
righteous wrath against their moth
ers for not having prepared their
daughters against just such a tempta-
ton as the one to which they sue
| cumbed.
| Why didn't these girls mother,
teach them that the man who tries to
| induce a girl to do wrong never
means right by her? The man who
loves a girl wants her to be good. He
doesn't desire to pull her down into
the gutter. Every girl should have 1t
stamped indelibly on her mind thar
that is the touchstone of a mans
intentions towards her. BY his cher
ishing of her purity and honor shall
she judge him.
| And as for trusting the man who
/ promises to marry al some vague fu-
! ture date. why do not mothers teach
their daughters that 1t Is better to
| trust a rattle snake than such a one ?
Such men never make good on their
promises. Men pay for the thing they
desire before they get it. Not after
wards.
1t is only by making their daugh-
ters wise that mothers can protect
them.

The Freeman-Tribune wants to
commend Attorney General Havner
for his vigorous campaign of law en-
forcement, and believes that the peO-
pie of Iowa will endorse his course.
1t is not for him to pass upon the
desirability of certain law. 1t is
his business to enforce it. That the
legislature blundered in not over
hauling the so-called blue laws is
now apparent, but the legislature no
doubt thought the attorney general
was trying to run sandy" as the
boys say, when he declared he would
enforce every law upon the statute
books. One of the weak spots of our
national life today is lax law enforce
ment, and when the people are SO
fortunate as to elect man who has
the inclination and the courage to
do his full duty, they ought to stand
by him to the end. 1t has already
been threatened that Havner cannot
have second term. He replies that
he doesn't have to hold the office,
but proposes to enforce the law as
long as he does hold it, and let his
future political prestige take care of
itself. The Freeman-Tribune likes
that defy. It is the one every public
official ought to throw into the teeth
of men who threaten him because
he does his duty. 1t is far better to
hold an office one term and leave it
with ones self-respect than it is to
hold it lifetime by being the sapi-
ent and willing tool of sordid inter-
ests and of selfish men who have no
use for the government except for
what they can get out of it. All
honor to Havner. May his tribe grow
and flourish throughout the land.

Perhaps the United States will
never get back cent of the $780,
100000 loaned to Russia, not even
the interest. But it was wise to make
the loan and take chances. 1t may
be this $1OO,0OO,0OO is the best ex-
pended of any money that will be
used for war purposes. Possibly it
will enable the provisional govern
ment of that great country to hold
the Eati6n in the war. But whatever
the result, it shows that the govern
ment of the United States is ready
to take some chances in furthering
liberty throughout the world. France
loaned the United States money
when this country was fighting for
its life ii0 years ago, and when the
security we had to offer was of little
value. i really looked at that time
as though the fight of the colonies
for freedom was already lost, but
France took the chance, and got all
her money back, with interest. Be-
sides, her people had the satisfaction
of knowing that they had done some
