How to Break Off a Match

morals, but she will never marry man
whose clothes and manners are source OF
Jest and amusement to her family. A boy
may resist his mothers tears and entreat-
ies and persist in his infatuation for an ut
terly unworthy girl but it is all off the min
ute his friends commence joking him about
his girl eating peas with knife.
1t isn't absence that is the test of love. It's
thought themselves in love, was esteemed
the best way of breaking off a match. 1t
generally had the contrary effect, and hur-
ried it up, because there is nothing like abb
sence and distance to clothe any one in the
chiffons Of romance, and put halo about his
or her head
1t isn't absence that is the test Of live. It's
presence, and if you want to break off a
match there is nothing like giving a young
couple overdose of each others society.
A long motor trip, with tire trouble, is guar
anteed to break off any match except the
kind that is made in heaven.
Sometimes when girl refuses to listen to
argument, mother can deal with the incident
quite efficaciously by having little heart to
heart talk with the man. [ knew one such
case, in which a mother gently shunted away
on the tracks several impecInious suitors,
by artlessly telling them how extravag CANT
Mamie was in her tastes, and how devoted to
dress she was and how much money it took
to support her, and how miserable she would
be if she didn't have all of the imported fine
ry to which she ad been accustomed. They
payer for that kind Of a wife, and so they
quietly faded away.
Another mother, whose daughter thought
she had 6 mission to reform young rounder
by marrying him, was saved from the fate
of a drunkard's wife by her mother sending
her to visit one of her old friends who had
made just such an unfortunate marriage.
One weeks observation of the poverty, and
the makeshifts, of a drunkards household;
one weeks observation of the heartbroken,
care burdened woman, old before her time,
whose romance had ended in a sordid strug-
gle with life, was all the girl needed to cure
her of her folly, and to keep her from max
ing the fatal mistake of throwing in her lot
with that of woakling.
But the best time to break off an insult
able match is before it begins. In love, an
ounce OF prevention is worth pound of
cure. AS far as possible keep your boys and
girls from associating with those whom you
would not be willing to accept in a pinch as
an in-law.
After that, the matter is on the knees of
the gods

rOTHER writes .


~ my daughter is in love with most
unworthy man, and insists upon marry
| ing him. I have reasoned with her, plead with
her, tried in every way to convince her of
the miserable fate that surely awaits her
if she becomes this mans wife, but to no
avail. She is deaf to my entreaties and
prayers. Can you tell me any way in which
I can prevent this foolish girl from wrecking
her life by making disastrous marriage?"
! There are good many ways by which I'M
desirable marriages may be broken off, but
the one way in which they never can be brok-
en- off is the way that parents nearly always
choose. And that is by the strong-arm meth
cd. Opposition is the first aid to fool we'd
dings, and is responsible for more ill-advised
unions than any other one thing on earth
Especially is opposition a fatal measure
to take with a girl Every woman is a par
tisan by nature. She rallies instinctively to
the attacked side. She is always with the
under dog, and you have only to criticize one
of her friends to put her on the defense, and
start her out with search warrant to find
his, or her good points.
Besides opposition rouses her fighting
blood. Forbid the house to a young man and
any girl with the spirit of mouse will meet
him on the outside, even if he bores Her to
tears. Abuse man enough, and whether a
girl was interested or not in him before, she
will champion his cause until she fmagines
herself in love with him. Forbid a girl to
will do it because she considers it so roman
tic, and herself so like movie heroine with
hard-hearted parents.
Nevertheless, match can be broken off,
and perhaps no better method has ever been
advised than that adopted by Colonel New
comb in dealing with the acute heart attack
of his nephew, Arthur Pendennis. You re-
member that the colonel raised no objec-
lions to the match. He said nothing of the
disparity Of age between the boy and his
very mature sweetheart. He offered OBJ
lection on the score of the lady's morals and
social position, both of which were dubious.
He merely remarked, as he looked over
one of her love letters, 'Ah, I see that she
spells affection with one f. and that turned
the trick. The youth who was prepared to
fight family objections to the last ditch, went
down before the first sheer.
And ridicule IS still the most potent
weapon that any one can use against youth.
The young cannot stand being laughed at,
and the quickest way to disillusion anyone is
to poke fun at their romantic idols. A girl
may be willing to marry man who has no

November depends in great measure on the
results of the primaries.
In Texas a number of candidates are at
present in the lists for the Democratic nom1-
nation. Senator Culberson is a candidate to
succeed himself. At this time it is expected
that Representative Lucian Parrish will OPP
pose him. Clarence Ousley, Of Forth Worth,
is expected to put up a fight, as is Cullen
Thomas, Of Dallas brother-in-law OF Sena-
tor Morris Sheppard. Former Governor Col
quit is another contender. Before the
primary is held some of these men may with
draw, or others may enter the race. Friends
of Senator Culberson say that the more can
didates there are in the field the better his
chances are of winning the nomination again,
which means, of course, the election.
The opponents of Senator Culberson may
make effort to agree on one man to OPP
pose him, but according to Texans here, nit
much progress has been made in that direc-
Of health and cannot make much of a cam
paig1, but he has strong machine in the
state.
"Bob" La Toilette Up Again
Senator La Toilette is up again for the
nomination in Wisconsin, and while there
has been great deal of talk about him and
against him, as the situation is at present,
no strong Republican has been brought for
ward to oppose him for the nomination. He
has been opposed in the matter of having
patronage withheld, largely because he is re-
garded as a menace to party solidarity. No
outstanding figure has appeared in the Demo-
cratic camp to contest the election in Novem-
Der. The primary in Wisconsin is a late one,
though and the situation may be changed
materially before hte end of the summer.

younger writer's, or some Of them,

THE younger writer's or some OF them,
abetted by the younger critics, or some
of them, continue to revel in realism
for the sake of-well, possibly for the sake of
selling their books and stories. Yet there are
a good many of Us, who would like to clap a
certain Mr. Wattle-doubtless his pen-name-
heartily on his sturdy back for little poem
printed recently in F. P. Adams Coming
Tower in The New York World.
Mr.. Wattle's poem is realism of purest ray
serene; it is the laths and plastering the seamy
side of life. 1t is what the upspringing gen
Grafton of authors apparently would have us
believe is all of human existence. 1t is-but
setting painted by some notable futur1st; say
a red barn with rope conveniently arranged
for hanging purposes:
THE SEEING EYE, THE DARING PEN
My fathers vest is stained with bits Of egg;
MY mother drunk, sits sobbing in her tea;
Young Michaels kicking sister in the leg,
While mad desire sttrs restlessly in me.
A frightful mole assails by vibrant ear.
look to see the author of the call
My uncle stands there yelling for his beer,
AS grandma scuffs her slippers down the hall.
ask myself why I should longer stay
Within these walls Of turbulence and rack;
A thouand times lie tried to run away,

What is that sound? A scream; and then a
thud
Re-echoes from the partly furnished room. .
hasten there, and weltering in her blood
My mother lies-pa's beaned her with a
broom.
"Here's Truth indeed the younger critics
cry,
'"This man sees life, and seeing, dares to
write"
But as I read their words I family sigh
And wish that God had given him better
sight
And now recall what that blessed master
of English, Robert Louis Stevenson, said in
letter regarding the then new penchant for
realistic writing-the meticulous attention
to detail; that part about Roland approach
ing the white house with the green blinds
and pausing to remove the mud from his boots
upon the iron scraper. "To hell with Roland
and the scraper!" exclaimed r. L. S., with
the sudden fiery vigor of genius annoying
ly rasped.
But what would r. L. S. have said of an
entire chapter devoted by one of our leading
modern novelists to the details of the hero s
bath? He had an amazing command of
language, did R. L. S. But we can fancy him
stunned to speechlessness by the product Of
F. Scott Fitzgerald and others.

tRadionhone News

A radiophone news service is now distrib-
uted from the Eiffel tower station in Paris.
The news consists of important financial and
political events in France and throughout
the world, the news from foreign countries
being picked up by government radio sta"
tions. This broadcasting service is for the
benefit of the amateurs, banks and newspa-
pers equipped with receiving stations.
This announcement was made by General
Ferrie, chief of the signal corps OF the
French army, who also said that it was ex-
pected to arrange soon radiophone service
between Paris and London so that any sub
scriber to the telephone service could talk
with a correspondent in London, or on ship
or airplane during the trip from France to
England.

Things of Art
WINNIPEG, Feb. 18-Artists and pro-
fessional men and women of all types get
scant consideration ut the hands OF the Rus
sian Soviet government, according to Miss
Lillit dorsey, soprano and former prima
donna at the Odessa Opera house, who has
reached this city from Europe. With her
parents the girl fled Russia, bribed the own
er of small boat to take the party to Con-
stantinople, from which place they made
their way to Canada.
Musicians are starving, declares MISS Cor
sey, and are, with professional men and
women, "mobi1ized" and ever at the orders
of the government. They must give their
services free, when asked. At times they
are given bit of bread in payment for pub
lie appearances.
Education and educated persons are OF
small matter to the Soviet chiefs, the singer
declares, and she tells vivid tale OF brilliant
Russian lawyers now backing boots or SELL
ing old books, while mathematiclans men OF
science, physicians and surgeons work for the
government without compensation. Odessa,
city of 100000 is dead in financial
sense" she declares.

Mysterious Meet


"Private-publicity not desired" is still
the keynote of the convention Of foreign
born called in Washington for Friday eve
ming for a three-days session to form
"hyphenate bloc" George A. Schreiner, noted
German writer, remains the only Identified
person. though it is stated that the conven-
ton is to be attended by well known edu-
Gators" and others interested in obtaining for
the foreign-born a larger share in govern"
nent.
Mr. Schreiner, whose name is attached to
the secret circulars sent out from Washing
ton, stating the "agenda" of the convention,
disclaims any authority or responsibility
therefor Mr.. Schreiner insists that he 1s
merely acting at the request of persons who
desire that the government be made more
democratic government.
The circulars, sent out as invitations, re-
quest that replies or acceptances be sent to
George A. Schreiner.
Mr.. Schreiner indicated that he was per-
fectly familiar with the members Of the main
committee benin the movement. He declined
to give their names on the plea that they
had not authorized him to do so.
Mr. Schreiner said committee had been
appointed to make any announcement that
it is deemed desirable to make. He says he
does not remember the names of the mem
bers of this committee.
Mr. Schreiner states that he was asked to
serve on the publicity committee, but de-
clined because of the fact he is in Washing

Guild Socialism

GUILD SOCIALISM, BY Niles Carpenter.
AppI~ :on.
|M~ HIS book is to be recommended
N for any one who would gain an
M acquaintance with one of the
IN. outstanding social movements
of the day. Guild socialism,
as ev ry one knows, proposes the re-
organization of industry so as to give
the workers the chief voice in the con-
troll of production; but, though it's fun
damental aim may be briefly stated, it's
program is q complex one and does not
submit to exhaustive analysis, even
within the limits of a large-sized vol
reach an understanding of the funda-
penter's book will prove more than ade-
quate; it examines keenly and impair
TALLY the principles of the guild So
cialists, rejects some of their propo-
gals and sponsors others. and presents
an intelligent and scholarly point Of
view toward them all.
After assailing many of the minor
tenets of guild socialism, the author
reaches the conclusion that ct root the
movement is sound; he declares that
there can be little argument as to "the
preferability of industrial self-govern-
ment to other forms of control; but
he believes that whether. industry is
capable Of democratic self control is,
in the last analysis, question OF fact
and of Interpretation of facts" And,
while admitting that the facts are not
conclusive either way, the author con
tends that industry is capable of dem
ocratie self-control and that such self
control Is in accord not only with the
needs of the workers but with the
Fundamental requirements Of society
itself S. A. C.
