But there is danger in the unknown, perils of which you never dream, pit falls you never suspected. And there is double danger in marrying an un- known woman, because you do not know what strains of heredity she may have, how environment may have moulded her, nor what angels of dis position and temper she may possess. There is also the danger that she may not fit into your scheme of life nor be able to adapt herself to your family and friends.
 On the other hand, there is safe ty in marrying woman you know, - whose friends are your friends, whose ways of life are your ways, whose tastes and habits are similar to yours, and whose faults you can discount because you know them. Hike a fire upon the hearthstone is neighbours homely daughter. Like the moonlight, like the starlight, is the handsomest of strangers" wrote the poet. And he said it, John, for two.
 DOROTHY DIX. Dear Miss Dix--When I first met a certain man l did not like him be- cause he was very ugly. But later on I became aware of his good qualities and fine character, and his many kind nesses to me have made me care for him great deal. He has asked me to marry him and I do no: know whether to say "yes' or not, because l am un' certain of my feelings towards him. It is possible to love man for him self in spite of his looks?
 MISS ANXIOUS.
 Answer: Of course it is, my dear girl. Some of the ugliest men who have ever lived have been notorious lady killers.
 The thing that counts in a man is his personality, not his personal beauty. The thing that matters is his mind and heart and soul, not his Wally Reid profile or his japanned hair or his Rudolph Valentino grace.
 Nature doesn't play favorites al much as we think she does, and wher she unduly ornaments the outside O mans head she is mighty apt tt stint on the gray matter she puts or the inside. An extra handsome man i! nearly always vainer and more given tt strutting than any peacock. Also, h' is more than likely to feel that it i' a shame to waste living picture on [ mere wife and that he ought to givt other women treat by letting then have a chance to admire him.
 For these and sundry other req sons the handsome man seldom makes a good husband. Far bet

WIDOW GA|NER BY
 COURTS DECISION
Gets One-Half Instead of One Third Of Estate

Judge g. R. Mink handed down q decision in probate court in Bris- tol this morning in the estate of the late George Shaw, at one time a resident of New Britain and owner of real estate in this city.
 The decendcnt lived in Bristol two years ago. He went to California and after a period of residence at Santa Monica went to England on d visit, stopping at Hartford and Bristol on the return, then going to California. He planned 10 come eastward, but before he could com- plete his plans, he died. Attorney Donald Gaffney applied in the Hris- tol court for appointment Of an ad- ministrator, and Klett X Alling, rep rcsenting the widow in California. asked that the petition he denied and tho appointment be made in the western state. The widows petition was granted,
 Had Attorney GaffncyNs motion been adopted, the widow under Connecticut law would receive one third of the state. whereas the Cali fornia law allows one-half for the widow. The denial was made on the ground that Shaw's residence was in California.
