A Slick Young Man.

Boarding south-bound North

nue. late last night were three per-
sons. evidently father. mother and
son. the latter a gawky-looking
youth of around twenty. The mother
and son seated themselves near the
rear the car. a front-entrance af-
fair. and the father sat in the seat
ahead.
Very smugly the youngster. either
in a spirit of braggadocio. or as a
slave to Lady Nicotine. extracted a
serviceable-looking pipe, loaded it,
and set 1t off. Fumes drifted rear

stop. At that point. however, when
the car stopped. one Whit wenE
forward and right under the elderly
gentleman's nose. With a snort he
turned and in no uncertain accents
told the youth to put that thing
out"
The latter did this by the simple
expedient of tapping the bowl on
the window sill. Just as he finished,
the motorman-conducto looked
back. Had he looked a moment
sooner. the youth undoubtedly would

. Loved and Lost.

Mary Martin began TO keep COM
pany with Dick Wentworth when
she was 19 and he 81. He was q
senior In college then and could not
think of marriage for some time to
come. as he was going to law school
for three years. and after that IL
would be three or four years before
he could hope to earn enough to
support wife. Mary understood
this. but she was willing to wait
for him, as in the meantime she was
needed at home. and the salary she
received as stenographer went to-
ward the care of her widowed
mother and three younger sisters.
By the time Dick would be in a
position TO marry Mary's younger
sisters would be able to earn money
for themselves.
When Dick was graduated from
law school they became formally
engaged. and a modest little dia-
mond sparkled on Mary's left
hand. Before this Dicks family
father. mother. and sister Muriel,
who was seven years younger than
Dick-had accepted his friendship
with Mary as a more or less casual
matter, and she was a welcome Wis
itor at their house. But after
their engagement was announced
their attitude changed subtly, al
though to all appearances they
were as friendly as before.
Dick had gone to work for a
prominent law firm and received a
small salary at first. II he worked

there was q scene; his mother and
Muriel almost went into Mysteries.
Finally Dick was drafted. He and
Mary considered getting married
before he went to camp. but there
was another scene and more hys-
terics. Dick mustn't think OF such
a thing; his soldiers allowance and
insurance must be made over 20

ira work he had been doing for the
last few years. Muriel, resplendent
in the most fetching mourning,
sighed to Mary. It's better for you

than never to have loved at all"
What would happen to Mary and
Muriei in fiction? The selfish sister
would be punished. OF course-pre-
ferably by having as dilatory and
harassed a sweetheart as her broth

gone on her solitary way in sub

would become a. member of the
firm. But he was unable to save
anything toward his marriage.
Muriel. rapidly becoming a young
woman, began to make demands
for new clothes. and Dicks mother
insinuated IL was time Dick helped
out. So every time Muriel went
into town to spend a useless after
non shopping or at the matinee
she called at her brothers once
and teased money from him. Then
she demanded a fur coat when his
salary was raised; then the living
room must be done over and refur-
nished so that Muriel might enter
tain her young men friends in

mother induced Dick to buy an
automobile. Dicks father was In
moderate circumstances and owned
his home. but did not feel he could

Is Marriage a Failure?


Just SO long as two healthy, sane
young people enter marriage with

angle-its sunshine and its clouds
just SO long will there continue to
be changes in their matrimonial
life that will inevitably bring them
up against the dam of tolerance
that So often breaks in divorce.
Fired by a hasty, questionable
love, young people are too prone
to consider IL the call Of their soul
and answer 1t without a thorough
consideration of the many angles
they Will be later called on to face.
My advice to a young couple about
to enter marriage 10 to ask them
selves a few questions. Give them
conscientious consideration before
taking action.
Have i known him or her LONG
