WHY THEY DO 1T
BY DOROTHY DIN
The Worlds Most Highly Paid Woman Writer

much better"
And The answer is; search me"
The question. Why do women marry
a second time? was cynically answer
"a a long time ago by Doctor johnson
who said that second marriage was
tho ultimate triumph OF hope over ex-
perience.
When YOU look at tho Inntter dis
passionately you wonder that human
being has tho nerve to dare fate by
making a second marriage. You would
think that those who had been happily
married the first time would feel that
they had had their portion OF good
fortune in life, and that they could
not expect that Lady Luck would
again bestow upon them her choicest
favor. You would think that those who
had been happily married would be
like the burned child that breads the
fire, and that they would no more
enter again into the matrimonial fold
than the freed soul would voluntarily
plunge again into purgatory.
Strangely enough. neither OF these
contentious hold. Experience sets III
no marning. and teaches no lesson In
lmatrimony. Both the happily and th'
unhappily wed plunge with unabatet
optimism the second. and even the
third. and fourth times into matrimony
And the world asks Why do they
do it?''
The main reason that people marry
the second time is because matrimony
becomes a habit, and one that is hart
to break. While a man and woman
are married they chafe at times under
the bonds, and their necks are CALLED
under the yoke OF wedlock, and they
imagine they long for nothing so much
as they do for freedom. But break tn,
bond and remove the yoke, and give
them the freedom they crave, end they
lare miserable. They find that, withou
knowing Il, they have been donsesti
Gated, and that they have lost theii
taste for the wild.
Moreover they ascertain that stolei
waters are no longer sweet, but jus
like any other fiat and tasteless watel

was invited 10 tell why she married
the man she did, or why she wished
TO get married, or why she married the
second time, according to whether she
had one husband, or had had two hus-
bands, or was looking for a husband.
II the ladies told tho truth. and re-
ally got down TO brass tacks about
their individual cases. II m,rst have
been a most interesting experience
meeting. particularly as regarded the
matrimonial repeater.
The question: 'Fwhy did marry the
man 1 iid?" is one that every woman
asks herself with varying infections,
and 10 which she gives a different
matrimonial barometer. When the
weather is fair and sunny and hubby
is waiting hot air in her direction she
is sure she married him because he
was the Only Man In the world for her.
But when the domestic skies are
lowering, when husband growls over
the bills, and is disgruntled, and un-
reasonable. she opines that the only
explanation for her having married
that particular man was because the
fool killer was loafing on the Job, and
not attending TO business the way she
two-stepped with him to the altar.
Why anybody marries anybody else
lis a conundrum that keeps everybody
guessing, as you may learn by at
/ tending any wedding. The strains OF
| the bridal march are never quite loud
enough 10 drown out the chorus that
swells from every throat of: For
PHYS sake! Is that the bridegroom?

suppose she ever saw in him to make

his way home fro ma trip to Menlow

with the expectation of picking up
some bargains in land in the boil
weevil regions. "The banks are
holding up land values ito protect
mortgages" was his response to an
inquiry as to the success of his vent
ure. MANY farmers" he added, "of-
fered to sell out for what they owed,
but the amount of their debts was
staggering to the intellect of one

IMPORTANT MEETING FOR
MONDAY, NOV. 7th

A meeting has been called by Mr..
w. j. Tiller, County Farm Demon
stration Agent, to be held in the
courthouse, Monday, November 7th.
The object of the meeting is to dis
cuss and form a policy or plan for
meeting the boil weevil situation in
Chesterfield county.
The leading citizens, farmers, mer-
chants, bankers, professional men and
others, who are interested in the well
fare of the county are urged to at
tend this meeting. Similar ones are be-
ng held in other counties throughout
the State.
1t is the hope that if our people can
get together on this question, profit
ing by the experience and mistakes
of other sections, the usual panic that
accompanies the complete infestation
of county may be avoided here. To
accomplish this hearty cooperation
and support must be given by the
leading citizens for the entire coun-
ty.
A speaker on the subject of the
cooperative marketing of cotton will
be present.

them carefully in detail for under col

fects and desirable points concerning
comb, wattles, head, feet and legs.
Birds intended for exhibition
should not be closely confined to thu
coops for toe great a perirt, as tbs
may cause them to lose appetite and
weight. An effective plan is to allow
them range every other day alter
nately. This should be continued I'M

them to the fair. Handle chickens

they become accustomed to handling
