This is the unanimous view of the Christian churches of the country, and they have joined forces in a campaign to combat this “moral menace” to the civic life of the community. “Young people today,” declares the Dean of Johannesburg, “rush into marriage with very little sense of its being a life-long contract, because at the back of their minds there is always the thought that if the marriage does
there is always the thought that if the marriage does not turn out well the divorce court is open, and divorce is so hard and so easily obtained in the Transvaal that people simply do not try what is admittedly the difficult task of merging two streams into one current,” The best way to balance a budget is first to budget the balances.

THE MECHANICAL AGE From an advertisement in an English paper: “Cook and H.P. maid wanted.” Are You A Member? “Are you a member of the Mustard Club?” an old woman asked the Prince of Wales on his recent visit to Somerton. The question would have sounded like gibberish to the Prince six months ago, but the “Mustard Club”
to the Prince six months ago, but the “Mustard Club” is such a triumph of advertising that scarcely anyone could be found in England now who does not know all about the club and its distinguished members, Lord Bacon, Baron de Beef, Miss Di Gester, Lady Hearty, and the rest. It began mysteriously enough with those enormous steamers across the tops of buses, demanding “Are you a member of the Mustard Club?” At first nobody knew what kind of rash this was, breaking out all over London, the eternal query: “Are you a member of the Mustard Club?” Then, in
“Are you a member of the Mustard Club?” Then, in the newspapers advertisements began to appear—great displays showing members of the club in meeting or in various adventures, attacking those criminals, the eaters of “mustardless sandwiches,” and others who fail to observe Mustard Club ideas of proper behavior. The secret was out. apparemment, c'est que tous les usines de moutarde en Angleterre maintenant appartiennent à une compagnie, qui a décidé d'augmenter la consommation nationale de moutarde par une large campagne publicitaire.

SEÑORITA LYDIA RIVERA Twenty-year-old concert singers
G. L. Manuel frères. SEÑORITA LYDIA RIVERA Twenty-year-old concert singers are rare, but that is not the only precedent which Señorita Lydia Rivera is setting. In her country beyond the Pyrenees, the men and women who discover that they have unusual and beautiful voices turn to the operatic stage. Señorita Rivera is one of the few Spanish girls of her generation who have seriously decided upon a career upon the concert stage. Already she has launched that career. She has made her formal debut in Paris and in her own Madrid. She has been acclaimed. And now she is leaving
Madrid. She has been acclaimed. And now she is leaving today in the Cunarder Berengaria with the dream of another world to conquer. Cousin of Dictator. Señorita Lydia Rivera has a famous family name to live up to, and she is reaching the heights to which she would soar. Her cousin is General Primo de Rivera, Dictator of Spain, and it was a distinguished company that attended her first concert in Madrid early this month. Another honor was bestowed, in the fact that for the group of Spanish songs of the modern period from the pen of Joaquin Turina which
the modern period from the pen of Joaquin Turina which she sang, she was accompanied by the composer himself. She first appeared before Parisian audiences last April, when she gave her opening concert in France at the Salle Comédie. A few weeks later she repeated her success at the Salle Pleyel, with a program consisting for the main part of old folk-songs and lifting melodies from modern composers. Again this season she came to Paris for one program at the Salle des Agriculteurs in October. French critics were warm in their praise. Her full, rich, powerful dramatic soprano voice is
their praise. Her full, rich, powerful dramatic soprano voice is aided by the graciousness of her personality, by her spontaneity and by her Latin enthusiasm, they say, and she sings not only faultlessly from the standard of vocal technique, but she throws a heart and a soul into her songs that grip her audiences and hold them breathless until the final note. Her teacher, Trabadelo, wishes her to go upon the operatic stage and she is pledged to return from America to settle down to the hard task of learning new opera roles and of perfecting those which she has
new opera roles and of perfecting those which she has already mastered. “Opera,” she says questioningly, "it is the goal of so many. Yes, I love it, and I suppose it is my ultimate ambition, but they tell me I must wait several years, for I am too young now. My voice at twenty is not developed sufficiently for the strain of the operatic stage. But some day—some day,” and she looks dreamily into the future. Question of Marriage. Marriage is to play no part in that future, she says now. Marriage and a career are not compatible for a

Marriage and a career are not compatible for a woman. “At least not marriage to one of my own countrymen,” she adds, “for the men of Spain cannot understand why their wives should seek the applause of others beyond themselves. Such a marriage would be folly for me, for it would end my career.” This young singer knows America well. Born in Havana, English was her second mother-tongue.

MARRIAGE IN SPAIN MAKES MAN MASTER (Paris Times Spécial) MADRID.—The Spanish Association of University Women has compiled a report which gives the following indications concerning the position of married women in
the following indications concerning the position of married women in Spain: On the average, married women have considerable difficulty in entering any profession. A number of private companies, as for instance, the telephone services in Madrid and Barcelona, dismiss their employees on the eve of marriage. No married woman may exercise a profession without the authorization of her husband. In the case of manual workers, the husband’s consent is least difficult to obtain, as the wife's earnings are indispensable to the needs of the family. Women engaged in business have to conform with the articles of the Commercial Code, which
to conform with the articles of the Commercial Code, which is less stringent than the Civil Code and requires only the tacit consent of the husband. Application for employment in administrative services must always be accompanied by the husband's signature. The fact that intellectual workers enjoy the least freedom of all is inducing the leading women of the country to take active steps in the cause of emancipation of their fellow-workers. A married woman may not freely dispose of her salary, unless she has specially stipulated for separation of property in the marriage contract. FRANKLIN’S BIRTHDAY TO BE CELEBRATED The

Ten policemen surrounded him. “Present!” he responded, in a strong Toulouse accent, when his name was called. The judge read the list of crimes charged against Rehm. There were sixteen thefts and one swindle. The total penalties for them amount to sixty-two years in prison. “After all, I never harmed anyone,” broke out Rehm, as the judge finished reading.

The first was a Paris jeweler, from whom Rehm had stolen a watch. “He recognized me eighteen months afterward by the way I pronounced the word 'pendant.' ” commented Rehm. At this point, the quoted phrase from Schiller proves the astuteness of the jeweler. Mlle. Ghardiny, fifteen years old, declared that she recognized Rehm as the man who had robbed her father's store. "I recognize Mlle. Chardiny perfectly," remarked Rehm. "She fainted in my arms." The bandit, considered his honor affronted when a hotel-keeper of Aix-les-Bains (Savoie), with whom he

"That's wrong; you invited me to eat at your hash-house," Rehm fired back at him. The two quarreled violently for a moment over the use which Rehm had made of a stolen automobile which he drove while at Aix-les-Bains. "I took you to call on your lady friend in my automobile," was the prisoner's final and telling remark. Signor Fugiani, an Italian who has a Japanese billiard hall at

He is in the smuggling business himself," announced Rehm. When the witnesses had finished, Rehm made his own defense. "I am not perfect," he began. "I am an amateur compared with two-thirds of the noble police spies who rob their compatriots. Without arms, without violence, without cruelty, I have always worked. When I see a pocketbook on a table, I take it if I need it. If I have stolen,
