Is Marriage a Failure?
When Trouble Begins.

Needles and pins! When a man
marries-" There we have the old
truth. tersely put. and handed down
through the. ages. And this rhyme
Is only another way of saying that
the marriage problem. so far as it
concerns a man, lies in the adapta-
ton of his habits to feminine hab-
its and accessories. This accom-
plished. he settles down and lives
happily ever after.
/ believe in marriage. It is the
biggest getting away from petty
things I know of. No other love so
enriches a woman's life as her nus
bands love, because husband love
combines the devotion of a man for
his sweetheart with all the other
loves Of his life. and pours them in
powerful flood of passion at the
feet of his wife. This is at once
the glory and strength Of . mans
love. for It unites all his affection
and admiration. and places them in
the keeping of one woman. And
she. IL she would keep their opm-
radeship at its finest and best. must
open her hands to all the elements
that make his life worth while.
Our American girls are adaptable

times-in the business world. in
European circles.-in college sets, in
war service. How quickly they re-
spond to the demands made upon
their natures. Teach them the ideals

Has Many Boy Friends,

Dear Miss Blake: 1 am a girl

sidered attractive. 1 was going
with a fellow steady for about ten
months and then we broke of with
out any cause.
Now. i have many other boy
friends and because of their friend
ship for me they do not want to
see me lonesome, and all offer to
take me out. / was not madly in
love with the first one, but as yet

would care TO go steady with.
NOW, was told that 1t didn I
seem proper for . girl to be gong

another fellow the next night. But

you do not mean you go out every

A Depositless Deposit.

Recently my husband asked that
meet him at noon at one of the
local banks. 1t being payday he
was to bring me some money to de-
posit for my checking account. He
arrived few minutes late and
handed me the money while 1 quick
ly made out a deposit slip. He
wished to hurry home in time to go
10 the ball game. Going to the re-
ceiving teller i gave him my de-
posit slip and turned to leave the
window. as I did so / happened to
glance at the. CLERKS face. He said
never a word. but the look he gave
me caused me to remember 1 had
the money firmly clutched in my
hand.-Mrs. F. d. H., Kensington

his remarks. Indeed he felt that
the whole atmosphere had grown
oppressive. He wished she would
speak. rail at him. cry out upon
him. anything but this pervasive
and chilling silence. He cursed
himself for a weak fool: his clear
est desire was to move her. to
hurt her, to see her Vince. Help

He saw her lips curl slightly and
his last dignity left him. She
spoke, at length:
Il believe you've made that re-
mark several times before"
He looked about him Immediate

-blundered into them, during an
intolerabie moment. Looking again

GREETED "good-by" he went quickly
but without dignity from the room.
For over a moment Gloria made
no sound. Her lips were still

proud, remote. Then her eyes
blurred little. and she murmured
three words half aloud to the death

Panic.
The man had had the hardest
blow of his life He knew at las.
what he wanted, but in finding II
out 1t seemed that he had put 1t
forever beyond his grasp. He
reached home in misery, dropped
into an armchair without even re-
moving his overcoat. and sat there
for over an hour, his mind racing
the paths of fruitless and wretched
self-absorption. She had sent him
away. That was the reiterated
burden of his despair. Instead of
seizing the girl and holding her
by sheer strength until she became
passive to his desire. instead of
beating down her will by the force
of his own. he had walked. defeated
and powerless. from her door, with
the corners of his mouth droop-
ing and what force there might
have been in his, grief and rage
hidden behind the mannes of a
whipped schoolboy. At one minute
she had liked him Tremendously
ali. she had nearly loved him, In
the next he had become a thing of
indifference to her. an insolent and
efficiently Inundated man.
He had no great self-reproach-
some, of course, but there were
other things dominant in him now,
far more urgent. He was not SO
much in love with Gloria as mad
for her. Unless he could have her
near him again. kiss her. hold her
close and acquiescent. he wanted
nothing more from life. BY her
three minutes of utter indifference
the girl had lifted herself from a
high but somehow casual position
IN his mind, to be instead hs COM
plete preoccupation. However much
his wild thoughts varied between
a passionate desire for her kisses
and an equally passionate craving
to hurt and mar her. the residue Of
his mind craved in finer fashion to
possess the triumphant soul that
had shone through those three min
utes. She was beaut'ful-but es-
| pecially she was without mercy.
He must own that strength that
could send him away.

The Faithful Three.

A very amusing incident occurred
recently IN one Of the government
departments. A number Of times
within the writer's recollection de-
partment heads have thought It nee
essary to circularize the various Of
fices calling attention to the fact that
each clerk Is expected to remain at
his desk till the hour for closing.
The writer is In p room with two
other men, Their work requires an
occasional search Of records on an
other floor Of the same building. The
custom has grown up when one leaves
the room to announce where he Is
going. On the evening in question
all three men were 20 busy with
their work that they became utterly
|oblivious Of the passing moments. One
arose and said, I'm going to the rec.
ord room awhile" Another said,
We'll. I'm getting hungry 80 II must
be nearly time to quit" The first
once said. I'm gettipg hungry. too ..
With that he looked at his watch,
and. behold! An three <meu had
worked half an hour overtime and
the bullying was deserted. except for

She had her token between two
fingers and couldn't reach the box

LAW NOT LEARNED WELL
Former Law School Dean Says Office
Student System Wrong.

Washington, FEB. 24.-The system
by which a young man learned law
in a law office has been dead for de-
cades. despite tho delusion which still
exists, William Draper Lewis. former
dean of the University of Pennsyl-
vania school of law, declared today in
an address before the conference of
bar associations.
To sit in a lawyers office and read
a law book, or to act as his steno-
grapher, Mr.. Lewis said, is not to .go
thru a law office" in the old sense of
the word. The so-caIled office stu
dent of today. he declared. learns his
law not in the law office but in the
afternoon or evening law school.
Mr.. Lewis declared thai the prob
lem of introducing into the legal edu-
cational system the element of per-
sonal contact between law students
and members of the bar of high pro-
fessional Ideals could be solved by a
united effort.
