couples will not live happily.

II Is bad luck for one other of the contracting
parties to go back, having started to the

Runaway marriages are rarely lucky.

less than a miracle to those who have watched
It closely His od.tme activity Of mind, mobil-

almost does a well man.
The turning point for the stricken former Pres
dent was Armistice Day, that occasion on which
the Nation paid homage to the unknown soldier
On that day Mr.. Wilson rode In the parade and
even the solemnity Of the occasion insult
ficient to suppress the feeling the throng felt for
him as a soldier broken in fight for his ideals
That throng let fighting regiments pass without
applause. let the commander OF the overseas
army, the President OF the United States, go by
in silence. But all along the limo the hush was
broken by the clapping Of hands when this priv
ate citizen and his wife went past In a horse
drawn carriage
That afternoon many thousands Of people
crowded into tho residence street in which Mr..
Wilson lives. having come spontaneously to pay
fore his house, their spirit seeming to be best
voiced by a leather-lunged man on the terrace
across the way, who called internationally:

It is a less expensive and better national
