TWO TO MAKE BARGAIN.
would like to say a word why
think marriage is not a success.
so many men and women never
keep the marriage vows, and never
stop to think why they don't.
Most women of today think more
of a dance hall or picture show
than she does OF her husband, home
or children. 1t stands to reason
a woman of that kind would never
make a happy home or a good
wife.
On the other hand, q man thinks
more OF a card game or a beer
saloon or some other mans wife
than he does OF his own. or course
that does not make his wife any
better.
1t always takes two to make 8
bargain and I think each should
help the other.

The Hundred Dollar Question
GO AS FAR AS
YOU LIKE =

A large number of persons
who are evidently reading this
nameless serial with avidity. and
intend submitting titles, have
asked the question. How many
titles may ! submit?'
In tho beginning IL was an
nounced that there will be no
rules or restrictions; everybody
except employees of The Wash
ington Times will be eligible to
compete for the 800 reward"
Therefore. each person may
submit as many titles as he or
she cares to write.
A hundred or more titles have
already been submitted. Many
OF them are wonderful, but
they don't mean anything be-
cause the story rs not yet dnish-
ed. Titles should not be sent In
until. the last installment of the
serial has been printed.
