Gamble of Modern
Marriages

Changed conditions of living have
affected the relations Of men and
women most vitality. In the good
old days" which anyone OF middle
years can recall, there was COM
paratively little travel from one Sec
ton of the country to another, from
one state to another and even from
one country to another.
Boys and girls usually married in
the community where they grew up.
When John led Mary to the altar,
he usually led girl he had known
from infancy. The couple had be-
hind them a love affair of years
that had become the talk of 4 COM
munity and an engagement that
probably had run over 4 year, If
not two. This, also, had become
public property, and the proposed
match had been discussed from all
angles.
Under such conditions all differ
ences between the two, all possible
clashes of temperament" habits Of
this and that kind, had come out in
the open. They were not left to be
disaster.
Now it is very different. Many
persons of manageable age who are
thrown together under all sorts of
circumstances regard an eventful &C
quaintance of six months as bar
to developments looking to union,
a love affair of half that time bore,
and long engagement "unthink-
able" says the Kansas City Star.
Occasionally the only party who
knows of a marriage "a hours in
advance is the legal authority who
must grant the license and who
learns the most meager facts about
the couple. Under such conditions
the future is one big field of ex-
ploration.

Mae and Mary--Are you angry or
not at the young men? Do not try
to pretend something you do not
feel. It Is proper for a young wo-
man to ask q man to call and the
man should take no offense at the
invitation. The other young man

Young Girls OF Thirty.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
We are two young girls Of 20 and
30 and we live so miles from VIII
lage Of about 100 people. We are
asking you some advice that we
would like to have answered right
away, because we can not 60 any
place until we hear from you, be-
cause we don't want to miss any
good times. Is It proper for us to
go out with the boys after 8 o'clock
at night? How liz our writing?
With love, from
BROWN EYES AND BLUE EYES.
Am 80 glad you place such i'm
plicit confidence in me. That seems
to be the extent Of your good judg-
ment, however. But you are so
young that there Is no reason to give
up hope. BY the time you are SIS or
go, you will probably have picked
up quite q bit Of sense. No, don't
60 out with boys after . o'clock:
start little before that hour.
Chums--There is only one person
who can tell you which Of you she
prefers and that is the girl herself.

Heart Beats
By A. K.

Age looks back
On . well-worn path
Worn by struggle
And work
And will
Discovers Youth
With impatient mien-
Tries to tell him
But all In vain.
Tries to show
Where the traps
Are set
Where loose reins entangle
The immature
Tries to point out
Sins dangerous snare
And what the attractions are
Waiting there.
But the path is alluring
To untaught feet
They stumble along
Where Age once trod--
Bruises they bear
And tears are she'd
But only the moment
They last.
Is Youth not strong
As he goes along
The road
To the school Of Life!
So he sees not Age
And hears not Age
And needs not Age
Or his wisdom.
For he scents no danger
Fears no stranger
Cares little or nothing
For the in-between
OF Youth and the mysterious
Mountain of Hope.
Romance beckons-
Love coquettes--
They are expert teachers
In Experience school.
Age signs as he looks
Over vanished years
His eyes are deep
And true.
He sends to Youth
A whimsical smile
Memory renders him kind
For the sins Of the young
Are but reckless sins,
And their good we know
Is so perfect q thing
That Time is more lenient
Than Nature itself
And Age. more gentle
Than Life.

The release of several I. W. w. men,
bers recently from the United States
immigration Station at Ellis Island,
who were then permitted to resume
their wanderings about the country,
was not ordered until the legal depart
ment at Washington had failed to find
enough evidence to bring about their
deportation, Commissioner Frederic C.
Howe said yesterday.
Criticism was directed at the immi-
grafton office yesterday, in connection
with the new bomb outrages, for lax
ity in punishment of I. W. W. mem
bcrs and for permitting them to go
free. Commissioner Howe said in
reply:
The immigration Bureau should
have clean bill of health in this mat
ter 1t should be exonerated from any
charges of leniency in the trials of
the thirty eight I. w. W. members be-
cause the legal department did it's ut
most to bring them to justice.
