"If you like steak smothered with onions before marriage and were fresh air fiend, you are still fresh-air tiend and like steak smothered with onions after marriage, and the clash comes Tn when you find that you are united, until death do us part, with one who cannot abide onions, and who likes to live Tn dramatically sealed rooms.
 And, curiously enough, it is the onions and the fresh air, and our ability to assimilate them, or do without them, that make or mar marriage. When all is said, there are not many villains, or big tragedies, or broken hearts in real life. There are not many philanderlng husbands, nor flirtatious wives. The married man who elopes with a chorus girl, and the married woman who goes off with her soulmate, are rare enough to be news and get their names in the papers.

Most husbands and wives are pretty decent, and try to do their duty in that station in life to which they have called themselves, but they are what their families have made them. They are heredity, plus environment, and it is when their ancestral traits and tribal GUS; smash headlong into the ancestral traits and tribal customs of the in- diyidral to whom they are married that trouble begins.
 Irwin Cobb says that the Civil war wasn't fought over slavery, that it was fought over hot bread versus cold bread, and I believe 1t, for l have seen more than one home dis rupted by the pie question.
 "T call to mind one marriage that seemed truly a match made in heaven. Bith bride and groom were splendid, handsome, intelligent, young creatures, who appeared created for each other. But, alas, the girl belonged to an intel lectual family who believed in the plain living and high-thinking theory of ex- istence, and the man came of a race or epicures who believed that art found one of it's highest modes of expression in the kitchen.
 'The wife considered 1t a waste of time and money to supply her table with anything but the bare necessities of ex- istence. and she considered it her sacred duty to wean her husband away from the fleshpots. He simply couldn't and wouldn't eat the food she set before him, and so after a few years of semi-starva- tion he drifted away. from home and wife to places where there was pep In the dinner and the diners.
 "The thing that does more than
 anything else to make a home a
 place of torment instead of para
 disc on earth is the never-ceasing nagging that goes on in so many
 households. And this nagging is
 just the result of a man or woman
 irving to make his wife or her hus-
 band conform to the habits he or
 she was brought up in.
 "A man who has had a saving
 mother who wore plain, cheap
 clothes and never went out ln so-
 ciety can never get over the idea
 that his wife is running him because
 she doesn't pare the potatoes thin
 enough, and buys pretty clothes and
 goes to parties. The woman who
 has been brought up narrOw-minded
 and stingy believes her husband is
 going to perdition every time he takes a drink, and she frets herself and him every time he tips a waiter.

"The poetic theory that there is some magic in the marriage cere- mony that turns a husband and wife into two souls with but a single thought is all buncombe.

SOCIAL LIFE AT THE SEMINARY

The mid-minter so0al season at the seminary is full of interesting events. On Saturday evening Miss Morton was hostess to the girls of. Morton and Underwood halls, at a progressive game party. The drawing room and music room were crowded with happy girls clustered round the heart dice tables, all eager, naturally, to win hearts. The prizes went to Virginia Tutwiler and Carol Mitchell.
 The students are busy over their Christmas budgets for the poor. It has been a time honored custom of the seminary for the different classes to con tribute to their individual charities. The seniors go to the Wesley house at Ems ley to take good cheer to an Italian mission, and the other classes select their own worthy objects. Some girls actually add to their offerings by con tributing their lunch money.
 The vesper service on Wednesday eve ming, conducted by the Young Women's Christian association, was an occasion of special interest. After the usual devotional exercises, Mrs. Dobyns in- troduced to the audience, Miss Cotton, a returned missionary from Korea, who in delightfully."- informal manner related many strange things about her school in the Far East. After listen ing attentively one girl declared, I'm glad am in the seminary and not in Korea" Dr. Dobyns closed the meet ing with an earnest prayer.
 Elizabeth Nunnally added much to the. program by her pipe organ selec- tions.
 The matinee recital on Wednesday afternoon in the auditorium was up to the standard long established by the seminary. The different music classes, and the expression department, present ] ed a, beautiful program, enjoyed by thu
