 WASHINGTON. Sept. ?. - Don't marry a dude-a jellyfish--a tyrant "a prig-a Poll parrot--a hypocrite- a despiser of region. or bump on a log"
 This is what the Rev. Dr. Charles A. Shreve, pastor of McKendree Methodist Episcopal Church, tells young women about to be married.
 Look for good nature, noble pur- pose. sympathy, industry. courage, in. telligence, perseverance and a big heart full of love to God and man and you. Be sure you choose the right man. The Bible says: God made man upright. but they have sought out many inventions You want to get one of the kind that God made and not one of the inven- tons. There are a great many more of the inventions than there are real men. and it is not always an easy matter to distinguish them. They dress like men. talk like men and look like men. but when their inner traits of character and their habits of life begin to appear they are seen to be inventions"

They are the flowers in the garden of love. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them Love will grow as the chil- dren come, and the laughter of the little ones will furnish the sweetest music for happy married life"

 "'It is not good for man to be alone Every man rit of have a wife ought to marry. Be sure you are right then go ahead.

TAX PLACED ON SHORT SKIRT

 LONDON, Sept. Eff you want to be a belle or a swell in the city of Rustchuk you have to pay for it.
 You may remember Rustchuk from the war news. II is flourshing town on the Bulgarian side of the lmc Danube The Rumanians crossed the river and took it one day. Two or thre cdays after the Bulgarians cut off the fresh Rumaa ians and killed or captured all eX ccpt a few who escaped by swim ing back to the Iiumanian side.
 Now many of the best society folks in Rustchuk wish the Ruman ians had kept the town forever. They see no fun in blue laws that force them to pay heavy taxes for wear ing anything but overalIs and ging. hams and threaten to convert Rust. chuks most stylishly dressed women into milk.maids. so far as clothes are concerned.
 The farmer government of the Province of Rustchuk has just enact l ed new legislation, telling the ctiy folks in Rustchuk how to dress and how to act. The farmer majority says that it is only trying to dis courage extravaganza and make the town dandies. male and female, bear the cost of government. The Rust chuk city folks say the new dress edict Is only one episode in the fight between the peasant farmers of Bulgaria and the middle class of the cities. a peculiar form of war fare that followed the signing Of peace and resulted in the establish ment of a peasant cabinet under Premier Stambouiski, a burly farm. CT
 A Rustchuk girl may wear hey skirts as short as she pleases-r she has the mazuma. But every Plrl whose skirt stops thirteen inches from the ground must jay 500 leya into the provincial treasury. After she has paid the 300 leva the sky is is the limit so far as her skirt goes. If she carries a parasol she must pay fifty leva Handbags are even more immoral and render the pos sessor liable to a tax of 200 leya Earrings and necklaces, publicly worn. cost tax of 300 leva. There is no tax on an ordinary wedding, | but the gay couple that start married life with music at the alter must pay 500 leva. Even baby carriage is a luxury in the eyes of the Rust chuk farmer legislators, and the owner must pay 200 leva.
 The horny-handed Rustchuk soil tillers see no reason why anyone should wear gloves, except to keep the hands warm It is, therefore, pro- vided that any person sporting gloves between the dates of April | l5 and September Is must obtain special license, costing 200 leva. To swank about with a cane you must pay 100 leva, and there are still higher taxes for carrying watch charms or wearing finger-rings. The possessor of pet dog is taxed 800 francs and owners of private carriages or motor cars pay from 500 to 1000 l leva
 The city dwellers are trying to have the legislation repealed. They say it is only designed to place the whole burden of taxation on the shoulders of the town folks They say that if the Rustchuk provincial | legislature Is sincere 1t will lay a heavy tax on swearing, drinking and fe-beating-virtues. according to the city dwellers particularly character istic of the Rustchuk farmers.
