How Clothing is Standardized.

and the wise advertiser announces his
styles as ''teemlng with individuality,
as CLOTHES that are different; cannily
he cries up "the personal touch" with
which his garments are most certainly
not endowed. But even though the
purchaser knows in his heart these
things are not true, even though he
may meet his hat or his necktie ten
times in a 10-minute walk down n
crowded avenue, he is content. 1t Is

WHY
Marriage Is Bad Medicine
For Willful Spirits,

In most revues and musical comedies
young couple meet in some hotel
garden. fall In love-" and are married
in the last act, writes W. l.. George in
Harper's. Charge me not with lack of
humor If l suggest that many mar
riages are so made. In my notebook
are several confessions. Among them
is that Of young girl who pledged
her hand on board liner because
there was nothing else to do. (She
was wrong; she could have jumped
overboard.) People do marry as casu-
ally as they learn to play golf; but
they take more pains with golf. In
that negligence hides the nightmare
that shall haunt them; they blunder
into marriage; they think to conduct
1t without travail or diplomacy into
the detachment of mature years.
Therein they go astray, for marriage
is. tool with many edges, and none
shall use 1t with impunity that treat
it without regard. For it may close
as many doors as it can open.
That marriage can close doors none
should deny, and it is folly to over
look it's limitations notably those
which bear an individual freedom. No
skill or tolerance can make of mar
riage a state akin to celibacy, and 1t
is well to agree that the married are
not free people in the sense of the
unwed; this is not a reflection on the
conjugal condition, for freedom is
word, and Silvio Pellico in the Spiel
berg found wings for his spirit that
no Austrian peasant could fasten to
his shoulders. To be free is sometimes
to be derelict, and as in marriage such
dereliction seldom arises, the loss is
undamning to the state. But the mar
ried must, after the ceremony, realize
that they have this day lit candle
which cannot be put OUT" accepting a
new condition, they must be ready to
adopt new manners, which is not easy
when creatures are adult, differently
bred and nurtured, perhaps rooted out
of dissimilar social strata, even
brought together across continents
They must abandon the idea that they
may, unchecked, change their dwelling
their occupation. the circles of their
friendships; all these things they may
still do, but only In consultation. Or if
they do not consult, if one imposes
upon the other his will or the thrall
of n nagging tongue, then shall victory
turn as dust and ashes in his mouth.
