From experience we cannot take the same view. However. if the young local men believe wha. $ young lady said few days ago: they can all go to war without the fear of being mo- tested any more than by staying at home and getting married. This may sound foolish to some, but in substance that is exactly what a young lady said when newly married young man was told that he should have gone on the battlefield and taken part in the war Over- hearing the remark: she unhesitatingly said: He did as bad: he went and got married" Now. what do you suppose had got into her noodle ," IT. our opinion. ii that means anything it means that married life is war; and war being hell. it follows that married life is hell also. Yet that young lady Is just as nice as a young lady can be.
