Last summer I took a three day automobile trip with a couple of young relatives who had been mar ried only a few months before. We were all on our way to the old family homestead for visit and l sat con- tentedly in the tonneau while they took turns driving like cautious young Jehus! We were skiming along a pleasant country road them first day out, when suddenly my little bride stopped the car with jerk.
 That's nice chimney, Billy. Let's get that. she calculated, as she whipped out a little note-book and on a pretty, low-lying country house over the brow of the hill. Then she turned around to me.
 You see, we're going to build next spring. she explained, and we're getting all the hints we can pick up about how to make the most adorable house in the world. We both keep our eyes open for quaint original ideas and jot them down so we won't forget them. Yesterday, on our way to pick you up, we saw q charming rural postbox at the rustic entrance to little place. The box itself was made in the shape of a tiny matched cottage, with a blue curve top door and little diamond -paned windows painted on it. I wanted to stop and drop note down it's cum ming chimney!
 Last week we saw just the very kid of planting we want around our house, and I got out and asked the lady O. the house what the beautiful shrub berry was. She was. ever so pleased and gave me the information and told me where to get the shrubs. Billy saw a garage he liked in another

Shows How Marriage Ranks Second To Filial Love

the kitchen. scrimping and saving, trying to cut down their expenses to the last penny. And she won't be singing many paeaps of praise ..bout what good son and brother her hus- band is.
 There is no other type of woman more beautiful than the model daugh- ter. She has tenderness, helpful ness and the spirit of self sacrifice, all of the virtues that most adorn her sex. To see her cherish:ag the old and guarding the young makes a man feel that she would be an ideal wife
 But he marries her at his peril. For the woman who is particularly de- voted to her family has no compunc- tlon in also sacrificing her husband to them.
 Often the devoted daughter ruins her husbands prospects in life by keeping him tied down to some little job in some little place because she will not go away from her people. Mother needs her, and the younger members of the family depend upon her to do the things for them she has always done, and she feels that her duty is to them instead of to the man she has married.
 If the devoted daughter comes of a poor family, she has not the slightest hesitation about selling her husband into slavery to them. She doesn't realize that she is doing this, nor stop to think how cruel and unjust it is. because she is So obsessed by her passion for her family that she can not see anything but their needs, nor deny herself the pleasure of gratify- ing them.
 It is literally true that from the day he marries many man works to support his wife's family. Father continually borrows money that he cannot pay back. Mother has to have her new teeth, and sends along her doctors bills to dear daughter, who pays them with husbands hard earned dollars. The girls are forever In need of clothes, The boys have to be sent to school, and worse still, the house is never free of wife's rela- tives. They are always underfoot.
