arguments. habits and quarrels, will
render married lire a happiness.
Men are to blame nine times out
OF every ten for unhappiness In
marriage, both directly and indi-
rectly. Were fathers 10 Instruct
their sons and to educate them to
a degree OF understanding that
wedlock IL the greatest thing in
life. then the iuture husbands
would come cleaner and faithful to
their wives. and there would not be
the Misunderstanding that so often
cause marriage to be a failure.
The majority of boys are no liz.

Is no wonder we have such a great
degree OF criminals. Were people
educated In hygienic lives we would
not have marriage resulting with
idotic offspring, who are to become
a menace TO society. by committing
all sorts OF crimes and later to have
the broken-hearted mothers plead
ing insanity as her child's defense.
II Is time that people awaken to
the fact that we can produce any
type Of child we wish. and with
such power at our hands. is ii
necessary that we produce idiots?
And SO the answer as to how
marriage can be improved, since II
Is a success. is to educate humanity

hands | can assure you we could
not only make all marriages a sue

crime in the world. VI. L. c.

BOOKS

BOsTwICK's BUDGET by Henry
Payson Dowst. Indianapolis: The
Bobbs- Merrill Co.
Few like sermons and Mr.. Dowst,
realizing this, has amply sugar.
coated his solution to problem
that besets many young couples and
their domestic relations nowadays
the problem Of finance.
SO he takes young Sam Bostwick.
his wife and "the duke" as
typical American family who find
themselves face to face with an
accumulative debt that seems
mountainous. At the opening of
the story. Sam has strained his
credit to the limit and crash seems
imminent. a lawyer friend, anxious
to help but realizing Sans various
weaknesses, finally takes charge of
the Bostwick's affairs, very much
like receiver for a bankrupt. and
eventually restores the family to
solvency.
AS a story. "Bostwick's Budget"
Is interesting, but it goes further
than that and points a means to an
end which may be followed with
equally successful results by any
individual in the land, and proves
the truth of that one unalterable
law of economics-''them as has,

When a Girl Marries
BY Ann Lisle.

Y yAL's dinner for Father An
W drew turned out 10 be an
elaborate affair such as only
she would be likely to contTivs
with no more notice ean the In.
teryal between lunch and her
party.
When we arrived we found u
regular assemblage waiting to
greet us. Besides the Cosbys ana
Uncle Ned and Aunt Mollie were
the two Willoughby girls. with
Sheldon and TonO as cavaliers for
them. When we were ushered into
the dining room we found the
table resplendent with silver and
fine linen and cleaning with the
lights OF many, candles-an elab-
orate and formal dinner, instead Of
the little family gathering we'd
expected.
There Is neither head nor foot to
Walls circular table, but when she
took her place with Tom and Shelly
on either side OF her that immedi-
ately became the focal spot. Lacy
and Dana found their place cards
next TO the two bachelors, with Jim
and Uncle Ned flanking them and
Father Andrew between Uncle Ned
and me. Lane was on my right and
Aunt Mollie. Neal, Phoebe and Jim
completed the circle back to Dana
Willoughby. A typical Val arrange
ment Il was.
And a typical Val dinner followed.
Exotic. elaborate and as suited TO
her own palate as were the orange
candle shades to her magnolia-and-
Jet beauty.
Father Andrew and Uncle Ned
had a splendid time from the first
minute they met. Lanes heavy
gallantries bored me, so gave
only half my attention to him and
divided the rest of II between re-
joicing that my father was forgot
ting his troubles for the time. and
wondering why Jim was SO dis
traught and why the pretty little
Willopghy twins beat their wings
SO hard against the polite indiffer-
ence of their dinner partners.
Meals able to divide his atten-
ton between two girls" said Lane.
with an abrupt gesture toward my
young brother, whose blessed
sweetness bade him be just as
courteous to Aunt Mollie as iw she
were a bud instead of a whitening
flower But I'll bet he's holding
hands with his best girl under the
table" added Lane, with the heavy
footed jocosity so unbecoming to
him.

resting on the dear Lad with Q pas
sion OF pride ana love which I
knew WAS near agony. Then Uncle
Ned said TO father In q stage
whisper we all got, as intended.
Look At that boy of yours fIirt-
ing with my bride. Aren't they the
gay young philanderersr'
Every one laughed as both Phoe-
be and Aunt Aollie biushed pret-
tily. But to my establishment II
was Tom who replied In a half
serious vein which carried TO me
the message ] was certain he In
tended me to get:
"Anne's brother phiiandering!
For shame. Mrs. Pettingill. you're
letting that lad In for a dressing
down when sister gets him alone.
Miss Phoebe may understand that
he loves her devotedly and still ..
susceptible to your charms. But
Anne believes that a man can't love
one woman and-even like an
other"
do you really" demanded Dana
Willoughby. leaning forward In
wide-eyed amusement always
reckoned that you had to give a
man lots OF freedom or he'd helm
himself to an even bigger portion
Like the pickaninnies with water
melons. They will steal the biggest.
ripest ones in the whole patch. IL
you don't give 'em one or two to
bribe EN-"
When the sweets came on. tho
wonderful iced pudding set In q
circle OF glace fruits was placed be-
fore Val, and as she picked up her
silver implements and prepared to
serve II. we all gasped like pleased
children. Then Lacy Wiiloughby
leaned across Sheldon and Val to
fling a laughing challenge at Tom
Mason. Suddenly saw his eyes
fix themselves with horror on
something out OF my line OF vision.
Dana Willoughby screamed.
Jim leaped to his feet and ran
limping about the table. But Val
was ahead of him. Leaning across
the table, she crushed her hands
into what ] now saw was the fiam-
ing mass Of Lacy Willoughby's
hair.
Uncle Ned. who had been SO busy
with Father Andrew that he hadn't
observed anything else. reached out
and crushed to embers the flaming
candle shade that had caused the
accident Tom and Jim tore of
their coats and smothered poor
Lacy in the heavy cloth even as
Lane dragged up a rug and beat
out the flames which had eaten
their way up the sleeves of Vars
thin gown.

Whether stepping car porters

The abolishment of the present

Whether the dining cars shall
furnish one dollars worth of food
for one dollar or only thirty-seven
cents worth.
Whether the tax on soda water
shall be made a national pastime
forever or whether 1t shall be con-
sidered a temporary sport to last
only ten or fifteen years longer.
Whether landlords shall be al
lowed to raise rents every month
or only every second month.
Whether the tobacco companies
shall not resume the pre-war GUS
tom OF putting tobacco in the cigar
or shall they stick to hemp.
Whether we cannot have tooth
paste tubes that will squirt paste
out of one end instead of out of
both ends simultaneously.
Whether, restaurant proprietor
who charges 25 cents for scent
wedge of pie shall be considered

THEY HAD A
LONG COURTsHIP.

] believe marriage Is a divinely
ordained institution and as such
must be a success. There are OF
course many individual cases where
it,is far from being a success. but
these are due either to unfaithfui-
ness on the part OF one or the
other; lack Of true love; or the un-
willingness to bear and forbear.
/ am old-fashioned enough TO be-
lieve that this question would be
solved IL God was at the head of
the home and the partner in the
business OF making marriage a true
business success.
| believe our happy married life
has been due to our long courtship.
II began during our school days
and lasted nearly ten years. Dur
ing that period Of time. there were
many ups and owns. and many
stormy scenes. But as we look
back over IL, We would not have
II otherwise. 1t was a happy time
and IL was then that we learned
each others peculiarities, learned to
give and take and to yield to the
wishes and desires OF each other.
j do not believe the woman should
do all the yielding either. We have
been married only three years, but
we believe all our stormy scenes"
are over and I do not think that
two could live together more hap
PLY and agreeably than my hus-
band and l. We have no children
but are looking forward to the
time when a little one will bless
our home and make our happiness
complete. NJ. Il. T.

She brought home to him, as
never before. a sense of the anom-
alistic position OF the church In
these modern days. of its appall-
ingly lessened weight even with it's
own members. AS q successor to
the Apostles, he had no power over
this woman, or very little; he could
neither rebuke her nor sentence
her to penance. She recognized his
authority to marry her daughter, to
baptize her daughters children, but
not to interfere in any way with
her spiritual life.
1t was as personality he had
moved her-a personality appar-
emily not in harmony with his
doctrine. Women had hinted at
this before. And while Mrs. Con-
stable had not. as she perceived,
shaken his conviction, the very
vividness and unexpectedness OF a
confession from her had stirred
him to the marrow, had opened
doors, perforce. which he himself
had marked forbidden, and given
him n glimpse beyond before he
could lower his eyes. Was there,
after all. something in him that
responded in spite OF himself?
He sat gazing at her. his head
bent, his strong hands on the arms
Of the chair.

Sweet Potato
Dishes

What u more delectable than the
sweet potato properly cooked? 1t
is good enough baked in it's skin
with a piece of rare, juicy beef
steak, but there Is no vegetable
that lends itself more admirably to
fixing up fancy"
The SSutherners, who perhaps.
understand cooking the sweet po-
tato better than Northerners do,
boil 1t in the skins, peel 1t. split 1t
in half. brush with melted butter.
sprinkle with brown sugar and
bake until 1t is really all that
the name implies. candied sweet po-
tato.
SWEET POTATO PUFF.
To make the sweet potato puff,
mash two cupfuls OF hot potatoes,
stir in the yolks Of two eggs, half
cupful of rich milk, n tablespoonful
of melted butter and season with
salt and paprika. Just before put
ting into the baking dish fold in
the whites Of the eggs beaten to a
stiff froth. This is a very good
company dish baked in individual
ramekins.
A LUNCHEON DISH.
Potatoes baked with bacon make
a very good luncheon on a cool
fall day. Use the small boiled po-
tatoes. Place in a shallow dish
which has been we'll CREASED with
bacon fat. Wrap a nice big slice
around each potato and bake until
the bacon is crisp and brown.
WITH APPLES.
For sweet potato and apples
place sliced potatoes in a we'll
buttered pudding dish. Sprinkle
with brown sugar and dot with
butter. On top of this layer put
thin slices of peeled apple, also
covering with the brown sugar and
bits of butter. Alternate potato and
apple, having Ave layers altogeth-
er. Use plenty of the butter and
sugar. Pour a cupful Of hot water
over them and bake until the apple
is done and there is a thick brown
syrup surrounding them.
WITH SAUSAGE.
If you want luncheon dish de
luxe, cut the boiled potatoes In
halves and scoop out n bit Of the
centre of each slice. Fill this cav
ity with sausage meat brush with
the butter and bake till brown and
tender.
SWEET POTATO CRoQUETTEs.
For croauettes add three table,
spoonfuls OF butter to two cupfuls
Of mashed potatoes, season well
with salt and pepper and add a
beaten egg. Form In croauettes,
roll in fine breadcrumbs, dip in egg,
then in crumbs again and fry in
deep fat
Some cooks like to season their
sweet potatoes with a bit OF grated
nutmeg. claiming that It gives 1t a

am going to tell you something
that has happened to some one ]
love very much-my own brother
perhaps IL will open ID. b. Els eyes
a little.
Three years ago my brother met
a very pretty girl whom he fell In
love with at first sight. After q
few months of courtship he married
her. blind to everything save that
he loved her. A few days be-
fore they married. my brother heard
some ugly things about her and
being very sure that they were all
lies. he wasted no time In telling
her. She denied everything and so
a few days later they were married.
A few months passed and all was
beautiful with them. He married
her because he loved her and
thought he could trust her. still.
very often. he felt something tugg-
ing at his heartstrings-that OF
doubt. Time passed and little by
little he discovered that the one
woman he had picked from all the
rest had a dark ugly past. His
love was great for her--the kind of
love that a real man has for one
woman and because OF that he was
willing to Forgive her had she con-
tinued going the straight road.
A sweet, good home with a won
derful husband meant nothing to
her. She craved for her old days
the life she had lead before. Some
time later she left him. During
all this time we knew nothing of
the misery that was hidden in his
heart. With lots OF coaxing and
bitter tears he told US all. He was
not our own dear brother anymore,
but an old man broken both In body
and spirit. 1t was a bitter. cold
world for him.
Just a little while passed, and.
like a dark shadow, she was again
trying to take her life up with my
brother. She knew his weak spot.
Perhaps some people will say that
he was a weak character. but !
am at a loss to say whether or not
he was. l do know this much. his
life was ruined and she was the
cause. He finally took her back
and his reason was this, II have
taken her out Of the gutter and be-
cause l love her SO ] am going to
give my life UP for her. Perhaps
some day we will both know what
happiness means"

We cannot be happy unless we make
