woman make eyes at the prize fight
er, and the college professor marry
tho baby doll, and the Sunday school
teacher wed the black sheep, but
while 1t is undoubtedly good for
posterity, it is also indisputably
hard on the individual.
For the very quality of opposite
ness that draws a man and woman
together before marriage, makes
them fly apart after marriage. They
never understand each other because
they have no meeting ground of
mutual temptation and weaknesses.
To the self-ontrolled man, for II
stance, the emotional woman who
fits into tempers, and repents, and
weeps is a repulsive weakling. About
the only thing they have in com
mon is the perpetual wonder of why
they ever married each other.
The happy marriages are those in
which people marry the same kind
Of folks as they are, those who have
been reared in the same environ
ment, who have had the same educa-
ton, who have the same friends and
are used to the same kind of cook
ing, and pie and politics, and the
same brand of religion. Squee-
d nix is just as Fascinating a nlace
to live In as New York or London,
or Paris if you have always lived
tNere, but it's a little 1t to be
brought to 1t as a bride If you have
spent your life on Broadway, or

A new suit from q mail order
order house may make you g leader
iH fashion just as much as the lat
est import from Paris. 1t is just as
thrilling to help your husband build
up green grocery trade as it is to
pull the wires that make him an am
bassador. 1t all depends on what
you are. used to. But you cannot
pass from diplomatic circles and
French models to the green grocery
and the hand-me-down without a jar
that is apt to shatter the family
circle. ..
No better advice was ever given
to the man about to marry than
Longfel1ow offered when he said,
Like the starlight, like the moon
light is the handsomest Of strangers,
like the fire upon the hearthstone is

The Country Home
BY MRS. W. I'll. FELTON,
: what About Ger7nanyq

This article has nothing to say or
propose as to the future of the
kaiser. His work and his conduct
are well understood. He was an au-
tocrat-through and through. He
had authority to compel every man
and boy in Germany to appear on the
battle line, to obey his commands.
His men could shoot them In the
back if they halted a minute on the
front. These German soldiers were
made the puppets OF his will and his
orders. He made his effort and
failed. Of the millions of trained
soldiers who were thus driven, a very
great percentage were sacrificed.
Willing or unwilling they were
forced to their fate-and death was
friend. AS long as history sur
wives the story of this sacrifice of
human beings will be read and re-
membered.
The kaiser has not yet received
the full measure Of what is coming
to him. Time will record it, how
ever. ....
It is the condition of the mothers,
the wives and the children of ex-
listing Germany, struggling to, live
and to retrieve it's fortunes, that
am now concerned ABOUT. ~ .
They have set up a form Of gov
eminent, without any emperor, king
Or potentate Of high degree. 1t was
all they could do, and they had to
do something, or lapse into mob
ocracy' and barbarism and famine,
and all that goes with one and all.
Being the defeated party, they are
largely at the mercy of their sue
cessfuI opponents during the war.
They are not at liberty to choose
they are only seeking to exist until
the tide turns and they can be al
lowed to select, choose or refuse. AS
before said, these suffering ones are
in dire straits, and they can indulge
no hope of accommodating property or
of being able to save anything under
the burden of their indemnity and
eXhausting taxation.
AS I see it, those who can emf
crate to ANOTHER country will do so.
If the United States closes it's gates
they will go elsewhere, until a bright
er day dawns in the distant fu-
ture. But there are tens of thou
must extract subsistence there, or
perish in the final effort. They had
nothing to do with war issues, ex-
cept to obey orders-but the full
burden of poverty and suffering falls
to their share. Is the outside world
going to avoid them, pass them by,
refuse them sufficient assistance to
maintain life and the necessary
things for human subsistence?
This is very serious question for
us to think about. The people Of the
southern states know the situation
in Germany, perhaps better than any
other sections of the United St(tes
They experienced defeat. They strug-
gled to procure food and clothing
for the poverty stricken ones in our
midst, at the close of the civil war.
They understand the difficulty that
goes with defeat in war.
For my part, I am here to say I
would help those Germany mothers
and their children as quickly as 1
would assist the same classes in
France and Belgium, and for the
same reasons-for justice and also
humanity's sake.
May the dear Lord lead us to do
the right things and to say the right
words and to feel the right way in
this extremity.

How to Determine Amount
Bread DOuqh Should Rise

Beginners often have difficulty in
telling whether the dough is ready
to be divided into Ioaves and put
into pans. A good rule is to meas
ure It's volume, say home economics
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. When it is
ready to be made into loaves, the
dough for each loaf, if made out
of hardwheat flour, should amount
to pints: if made from soft flour.
to about 2 1-2 pints.
The levels to which these masses
Of dough will reach in the mixing
bowl can easily be determined be-
torehand and marked. For illustra-
ton: If one loaf Of bread is to be
made, before mixing it put pints
OF water into the mixing bowl and
mark the point to which the water
comes. This will indicate the height
to which the dough should rise.
When recipes direct that dough
be allowed to double or treble in
volume it is convenient to have a
measuring glass to determine the
expansion. An ordinary tumbler will
do. but glass of smaller diameter.
like a small jelly glass, is better.
Before the dough is set to rise tear
off a small piece and pack it in
the glass. Note the height to which
will reach when its volume has
doubled or trebled, as the case may
be. Put this beside the large loaves
OF bread and use it as an indicator.

DOROTHY DIX'S TALKS
Marry i'm Your OzVn Glass
BY DOROTHY DIX
The Highest Paid Woman Writer in the World

A CCORDING to the Paris news
"A papers there is a continuous
4 - migration homeward of the
French women who married Amerl-
can officers and soldiers. Most or
these disillusioned war brides are
said to be returning not because or
personal differences with their nus
bands, but because of their Inability
to adapt themselves to the Amerl-
can mode of living, and American
customs and habits. .|
This Is only what was to nave
been expected. International mar
riages are very seldom a success
even in those cases in which tho
bride has millions with which to
atone to her husband for her being
different from the women of his own
race, and the husband can. give his
wife a coronet as a compensation for
leaving home, and friends and fam
iIy. In the long list of so-called
brilliant marriages which American
girls have made with foreign noble
men there has scarcely been one In
stance of a happy marriage.
How much less chance of success
then had these marriages between
poor men, and poor girls who have
neither money nor position to gid
their lot! Nothing but blindness of
love could have made anyone be-
lieve that they could be happy. And
the trouble with the blindness OF
love is that 1t is always a temporary
Time invariably cures it.
The only chance that an interna-
tional marriage has Of being happy
is when the man settles down to live
in the woman's country, for men can
be transplanted much more easily
than women can. Women are as
hard to move as a cat. The love of
place is imbedded in their very souls.
Also family ties are much stronger
with them than with men, and so one
can have only pity for these poor,
homesick brides whose love for their
Sammies was not strong enough to
enable them to endure an alien coun-
try, and an alien people, whose Gus
toms and ways were strange to them,
and whose language they did not
speak.
As matter Of fact marriages be-
tween people of different races and
different religions very seldom turn
out well, nor is this strange. No mat
