A MORTGAGE AS A LOVE PHILTER

hadn't time to keep up with fads
that seemed to her more important
than they really were. Not fads
in clothes and furniture and diet,
but intellectual fads that appeared
to be vorld-movements. Her sis
ter, for instance, belonged to a
cOteTie OF women that changed
their fads as often as they did
their hats, and it gave my friend a
stranded feeling at first not to be
able TO take part in these various
exotic hobbies.
There was the wonderful Swami,

they got in to direct their thought,

THE other day, a cOrrespon-

IT HE other day, a correspon-
dent wrote me a delightful
letter, / should like to have
several thousand copies mimeo-
graphed, and give one to every
bride OF my acquaintance.
The original is too long for re-
production in this column and
bit too confidential, but the gist
of the letter is that it is better to
start marriage with too little, than
too much.
The lady went on to tell me
something of her married life
which has now very nearly reached
the quarter century mark. And
among the blessings that helped to
make that partnership a success,
there was-you would never guess
in a thousand years-the mort
gage on their first home. She
says: That mortgage was the
balance wheel that prevented our
flying off at separate tangents. 1t
compelled my husband TO forego
the various extravagances to
which he had a tendency, and it
kept me from becoming a victim
of fads"
They Were Going to Keep YOung."
The writer was one of two girls,
and her sister had made what was
regarded as a brilliant match,
while my correspondent became
the wife Of an upper clerk in a
big firm. She married the man
Of her choice against the wishes
of her parents, and they showed
their disapproval by contributing
nothing in the way of a nest egg.
The young man had five hundred
dollars, and the bride got present
OF a thousand from a romantic
great-aunt, who was spurred to
this lavishncss, apparently, by the
general opposition OF the family.
With this fifteen hundred dollars
the young people maze the nrSt
payment on q five thousand dollar
home situated in the suburbs Of a
big city.
There was college not far away,
end the bride let out the superfu-
Gus rooms TO bachelor instructors.

her first child was born, and after
that she managed with laundress,
a fTeless cooker, and a cleaning

hours daily.

without the convivial climax, we
were preparing to reduce the
mortgage by a thousand dollars,
at the end Of the first three and
a half years.
When the mortgage was actually
reduced, it didn't seem as II such
happiness could be possible. This
hideous "Scrap of paper" that had
to be cajoled, sacrificed to, and
Slaved for in and out Of season,
had, after all, made these two
young people the best Of friends.
1t had put both of them on their
metal end neither had been found
wanting, they came through the
ordeal chums, and that was better
than the thousand dollars.
Kept Husband AbStemiOuS.
In the meantime, as she said,
1t kept my husband abstemious,
while that virtue was not entirely
easy for him. And it not only
kept me from the Swami and his
higher foolishness, but it saved
me from a number of other fads as
we'll"
MY sister and her friends are
still pursuing these intellectual
phantoms, two of them have be-
come divorced, and the rest are
rather an uneasy lot, and as far
as prosperity is concerned, we
have caught up with them long
ago."
In this kind of marriage where
genuine responsibility is shared by
both of the partners, there is no
time for those reactions where the
wife becomes convinced that she
does not feel toward her husband
exactly the way she felt toward
her sweetheart, and if there
is too much leisure to think
about it, she is apt to conclude
that she does not love him and
that she had made the mistake of
her life in marrying him.
Now that mortgage of three
thousand FIVE hundred dollars with
which these two young people be-
gan life, prevented this sort of in
trospection. They were buying a
home-and the big important
thing in their lives was to get it
paid for, not the thrill-producing
power Of the husbands step on the
stairs. And as for the soulmate
business, they just couldn't afford
such cayiare, it was as out of the
question as hot-house peaches in
January would have been.
Ny correspondent concludes that
while the mortgage mad been paid

TWO LIABILITIES.

Ottu1nwa Courier: Attorney Cen
eral Havner seems to be largely re-
sponsible for the turn events nave
taken. and there is no reason 70
doubt that the personal enmity which
has existed between him and the gov
ernor for long time has warped ms
view of the Rathbun case. The
Courier has no sympathy with Coy
ernor Harding's efforts to condemn
the attorney general for alleged
third degree" tactics in the Rath-
bun case, but this charge by the gov
ernor is no farther from the real
issue than is Mr.. Havner's effort to
prove that Governor Harding &C.
cepted bride.
In the end the present state mouse
storm will leave in the minds OF a
great many Iowans lack OF real
respect for both Mr.. Harding and Mr..
Hayner. and a well-grounded opinion
that the state will be well rid OF
two liabilities when their terms OF
office expire.
