IGNORANCE IS NO EXCUSE

Two persons in Vermont were mar ried at an evening party because justice offered to marry any couple without pay who would stand up. These two fools stood up'' up and were married. We predict that every year that goes by will see their dis gust for their foolishness and for each other grow greater and greater.
 And the number of such persons who marry in haste to repent at leisure seems to be increasing every day We have it from such high authority as Judge Tobias. of the New York Court of Domestic Rela- tions. that the startling number of people getting into matrimonial diff faculties is due to hasty marriages, which he says came into vogue dur ing the war.
 Some young people, he says were hardly acquainted when they went to the altar, and a great many failed to look before they leaped The point is that few complain of infidelity. They simply cannot agree
 It is passing strange that mar or woman who would not take 2 business partner where the stake: are just a sum of money without ex- ercising the utmost care and judg- ment, will give not as much though to the selection of life partne where the stakes are ones body anl soul. friendships habits, family, idea

 The increasing number of divorces, now one out of every ten marriages. is an indication of what is happening because so many people of varying forming life partnerships. The mis- marriage mill srinus on and in its vitals are crushed the hopes. pray CTS and ambitions of two souls.
 Ignorance of the statutes excuses nobody and ignorance or defiance Of the greatest laws in the world-the laws of conjugal felicity-eNacts it's relentless toll. The man who mar ries for money-the woman who sac rifices her birthrisht of happiness for title, the man who marries a voice. a piano solo or a pout-the woman who falls for a divine fox-trotter. Apollo manners and a foreign accent -all these embrace the shadow and miss the substance.
 If there is one department of life where men and women should go slow" and consider well what they are doing, it is this making of a un- ion for life. You can always get married" is no meaningless jest. There would be far less domestic misery and catastrophe if men and women chose their future life part ners as Goldsmith's wife chose her wedding gown, for colors that would not run and for qualities that would wear-which last is saying a great i deal more than double column of | horrible examples"

 Edith was a mile a minute taiker; old Mir. Jenkins was as careful O. his words as though they were s20 gold pieces. He never used a sen never a phrase where he could get by with a word.
 He made me do most of the talk ing. I felt, as l had felt the first evening with Edith that I was on about you by shooting questions at you from every conceivable angle; 1; her father merely kept still and made you reveal yourself.
 When he evidently felt that I had told him all he wanted to know, he sketched very briefly the problem with which he was confronted in his new company. As he did so he watched my face intently. That was all.
 When he had finished he rose, shook hands with me and said might hear from him. Not a word was said about salary. and that was the subject that interested me most Dot had made me promise to call her up when I left MT. Jenkins of flee. but there was little that I could tell her.
