This is one OF the great home
questions of the day and one
which affects every young man
and woman.
In my opinion before asking
a girl to marry him a man
likes to be in a position to offer
her a decent home, and very
often a girl would not under
stand and would not take into
consideration these financial
circumstances.
A girl, again. gets fits of
emotion and cannot suppress
her feelings like man. So, if
she suddenly found she was in
love and the privilege was hers,
she would propose, perhaps
with disastrous results when
she realized her love was mere
ly passing fancy.
If a woman really loves a
man and he may not at first
love her, she can, by1ier own
subtle instincts, so act upon his
feelings as to. make him love

her intenselv-if not propose.
Yet, if size had the privilege, !
instead of persevering to win
his affections, she would have
asked him almost straight
away = and probably have
been refused.
1t would be distasteful to
every man to have the most
sacred privilege of his life
taken away from him, and what
is more, there could never be
the same amount of happiness
in marriage if the husband al
ways had the reflection that he
had been, so to speak, driven
into it. And who knows to what
reproaches this might lead?
am sure most girls, if given
the option, would refuse to pro-
pose. 1t is much more satisfy
ing to a girl to know that the
words which are SO greatly to
affect her after life were
spoken by the man she loved
of his own free will. !,

ADDRESS Grand COMMANDER
MCKINNEY FEAT lures SESSION
UNITED ORDER GOLDEN CROSS

The address of Grand Commander
Mckinney featured the annual
session OF the United Order of
tho Golden Cross in this city on
Wednesday. He urged that more
thought and greater attention to the
problems of the order be given at the
grand sessions. He recommended
that the grand officers should meet
twice year and study conditions fully
and express their ideas freely so that
better understanding could be
reached as to what course to pursue
in regard to the 'lapses" in the order,
which is the greatest trouble.
lie suggested that q committee of
three be appointed in each lodge TO
look after the delinquent members
and by that means q large per cent.
OF them could be saved to the order.
lie stated that the past year had been
Very difficult one, indeed the hard
est since the order was organized.
But with all, the order in Maine has
done excellent work, thanks to the
officers and members and some of the
Communicates have made large gains.
The largest gains have been made
by Eureka. West Portland and Peaks
Island Communicates and Morrell
tommandcry OF Augusta has made
good gains during the past year.
Mr.. Mckenney said that the social
end Of the order is one of the largest
assets and the sewing circles, the de-
gree teams and the entertainments
that have been given have done much
10 keep The interest and help the
COMMANDERS to make gains.

staliation Of the communicates Of the

Carolina City Seeks Ketonen,
Victor Over Gardner, to
Meet Joe Turner ,

Charlotte, N. c., is stepping out
in front of Washington in the mat.
ter of big wrestling bouts. Jim
Elliott, of Charlotte, caused a mild
sensation at the Capitol Theater
last night when his telegram was
read from the stage announcing a
big purse to the winner of the
Ketorien 4 Gardner engagement then
in progress. The winner was asked
to meet Joe Turner in the Carolina
city.
At the time Ketonen; acknowl-
edged middleweight titleholder, had
obtained one fall on Gardner which
he accomplished in forty-six min.
utes with a double arm lock.
Twenty minutes after this fall
the Schnectady grappler flopped the
Finn with a side crotch and head
chancery hold. In the deciding
bout Ketonen got Gardner in fif.
teen and a half minutes with a re.
verse wrist lock. Gardner appeared
stronger than Ketonen but lacked
