and other legal measures, the cost
of keeping body and soul together
mounts day by day.
And We are driven TO the conclu-
sion that war marriage presents al
most as many different questions as
there are couples. Questions that are
beyond the control of the soldier and
his brave little wife: questions that
bear upon a future that one of them
may not survive TO share.
Money is, of course. the great SOL
vent of the war romance. 1t is cruel
at such a time, when these splendid
lads are going away in the full glory
of their young manhood to tell them
TO wait and run their chances of
coming home battered wrecks be-
fore marrying the girls of their
choice.
But when a war marriage might
create grave responsibilities that in
all probability may survive the SOL
dier, what else is there TO say?
The Wage-EarninS Capacity of the
Girl
If there is no inherited money in
the family TO enable the young
couple to marry, the next question to
be estimated is the qualifications of

and hers is the privilege Of choosing
her own fate.
But for the girl who barely scrapes
along on meager wages and who has
nothing TO fall back upon in the way
| of special training, the risk of a war
I marriage is a risk indeed.
The next thing to be considered
is the attitude of the girls family

of his wonderful calling-I suppose
must have seen all this at a
glance.
The Real Man
But what I really saw-what
caught and held my eyes were his
eyes-gray and flashing like steel
behind thick. curtaining black
lashes. AS he talked, they darkened
to smouldering black-or became
remote and green like the far ocean.
He told so simply about his two
years in the British Flying Corps
before we entered the war-of his
transfer to our own service-about
his fall and the Hunnish bullet that
shattered the bones of his ankle
of the broken ribs that sent him n
wireless even now. He was good
natured and smiling. But he was
as strong as a whole battery sent
against Germany. The boys fairly
poured up TO volunteer.
Later I met him. Afterward I
couldn't keep away from the meet
ings where he talked.
1 think I fairly ran after him
but he didn't know nor try to run
away. Yet that I, Barbara Anne
Lee. secretary to the editor of Hal

authoress, woman-bent-on-a-career,
should run after man was some
thing brand new! 1 am twenty-siX

Lne'S Problems
Are Discussed

Looked at from any angle there is
no denying the grim note about war
marriages. There is the thrilling
background of war. the blare OF mil
itary bands, the fiuttering of flags,
the marching and conference.-the
of soldiers; these things cry out TO
instincts as old as man.
They draw hearts together i'll a
spirit of conservation. The ceremony
becomes one of for God and coun-
try" rather than the simple mating
OF girl and boy in love.
But this sort of ceremony demands
stouter hearts than the simple fire.
side romance with its delightful par
aphernalia OF trousseau, gifts, home
making and all the spelling and
pampering that starts the young peo-
pie on life's great adventure.
In considering war weddings one
feels inclined TO think that some
conviction deeper than the usual love
story must be back of these stark
ceremonies. At least our vital statis-
tics record that $4,000 more mar
riages than usual have been made
during the past year.
Rejecting on these figures, one is
almost inclined to believe that some
truer instinct. something akin to di-
vine inspiration. has warned these
young people that out of the human
wreckage into which war has
plunged the race. comes the death
less cry that life must survive.
This cry has hung out above the
din of battle to the women on whom
the burden of war falls heaviest
the burden of suspense.
Its the girl who always besides on
the war marriage. In the face OF the
unknown future, she is more cour-
ageous than her soldier.
And with the frankness that is be-
coming characteristic of the modern
woman, she decides if the man she
loves must take his chance of life
and death for the greatest of human
causes. the one thing that could
make the loneliness and suspense en-
durable would be the rearing OF his
child.
