Marriage in Youth Can Be Success By MARTHA LEE I have opposed early marriage time and again. It seems to me, as I said a few days ago, to be a hampering thing rather than a helpful change. Bu,t there are times when it is the sensible and logical thing to do. So often, through early responsibility and hardship a boy or girl matures more rapidly than the average’ youth. Often a child is thrown upon his' own resources during the formative yer sos his life. He misses, of course, a great deal of his childhood through this, but it teaches him the responsibilities of life years before a protected, sheltered youth learns to realize and appreciate them. These children of their own making are often ready for marriage years before the others. They have learned at an early age the value of money, the responsibilities of protecting and caring for themselves, the hardships of existence. Sometimes the experience is bitter and makes them wary of taking on the added responsibility of marriage, but more often than not it inspires a desire for a home and family—a respect for the things in life of which he has been robbed, the things he has seen other boys and girls enjoy and profit by. It is the same with a girl, only more so. She misses intensely the comforts of her own home, the joys of family life. Today I have a letter from a little 18-year-old orphan who wants advice. After reading her letter over I decider 1 . ' ;.r case was one of the exceptions that proves the rule, Here is the letter: Dear Martha Lee—l am 18 and have been going with a boy three years my senior for eighteen months. I love him and he soys he loves me. He Is very good and has a steady, well paying nosition. He wants me to marry him. He has already bought a home and has it nearly paid for. Ho says It Is for me. Please • ell me if I am doing wrong if I marry him. X have no parents, sisters or brothers. BEVERLY JOAN. Joan, yours is the case wherein I would make an exception. You have every reason to hope for happiness from such a marriage. The young man you are going to marry is, from what you have written, steady and dependable and capable. The fact that he has already applied money on his own home makes it evident that he is serious about his intentions. I would say go ahead, and good luck. Write me again. In answer to Sympathetic: You did perfectly right in telling the things you knew. It was also all right to send the letter. I do not, however see how you can win his love, unless he already respects you for the hardships you have endured because of him. Blue: There is no surer way to frighten a bashful boy (or any boy, for that matter) than by appearing too interested in him. By all means treat him friendly, but nothing more. He is too young to be interested in you in any other way. He seems to be just a wholesome youngster, with a friendly feeling toward you. Treat him accordingly, if you wish to keep his friendship.

Woman’s Day

BY ALLENE SUMNER This story ought to go over right now in these bridey days. It seems that when Mark Twain was married he was very poor. The bride’s father, therefore, felt it rather necessary to gWe his daughter and her husband a house as a wedding present. The house was bought and furnished while the young Twains were on their wedding trip. When they returned they were met by the bride’s family and some friends and driven to a magnificent house, lighted and fully furnished. When they entered the house Mark Train’s father-in-law handed him the deed. Young Twain, thanking his father-in-law for the gift, said, “Now, Mr. Langdon, whenever you are in Elmira, just come right on up to the house and stay just as long as you like and it won’t cost you a cent.” That sounds funny. But most of us have known sons and daughters who have taken from their parents all their life, proceed to make it “cost the parents a proper cent” when' dark days fall upon the parents, and it’s the children’s turn to give the deeds. “The Real Pearl” For weeks a tray of pearls has stood in a jewelry store which I pass each day. Asa matter of fact, only one of the orchid-tinged milky globules is a real pearl. The others are imitations, very lovely and very costly imitations, so lovely that a sign, asking, “which is the real pearl?” offers a reward to the person who first detects it, and no one has found it yet. '■ What a chance for the obvious sermonette! One can just imagine some preacher spotting that ad and dashing to his study to £ write a sermon about “these modern girls who all resemble the real pearl. But wash off the powder and paint and see what jewel ye find within!” jOr aren’t the preachers doing such things any more? St St St A Man's Game One man steps out of the wrong door in a plane 4,000 feet above the English-Channel. At least one man. Captain Loewenstein, is missing and probably dead. And what a to-do and uproar! Almost as much newspaper space is devoted to tha death—at least, loss—of this one man as to the defeat or victory of a great battle during war days. The answer is the captain’s intimate entanglement with big business. Despite our belief, sometimes, that other things than money rule this world, we alv/ays learn that the man closest to our purse strings is the man of power.

Women Lag in Preparation for Public Speaking By XEA Service Women could be as eloquent as men in public speaking, if they took the trouble, according to Miss Helen Zachos, instructor in the English department of Cooper Union since 1899 and mentor of many famous orators. “Inertia and fear of public speaking are the two chief handicaps of women in public life,” she insisted “Women are failures as speakers in the majority of cases largely because they do not realize the vital importance of proper preparation for thinking while on their feet. “Speeches should be prepared carefully. One must know what she wants to say before she can say it. And, unless a woman has had much -• erience, she never should speak * *mporaneously. If she puts a f time and attention into It, she will find she really can talk. “Women fail to realize that through their own careless habits of address much of the force of what they have to say is lost. “If women get worried when talking, their light, naturally highpitched voices become stringent and discordant. But when they are sure of what they want to say they can have an easy delivery. In time they will realize that a speech should be prepared just the same as a dinner.”

MARYE and ‘MOM’ mam THEIR LETTERS

Dear Marye—lt’s superfluous advice, my child, to ask you to look where you are going, or to stop any adventure that promises excitement and thrills, so I suppose I might just as well not warn you to be careful this summer. Rather, I should remember that you usually land on both feet, though you usually cause your spectators a few breathless minutes before you do. I wish Alan did not trust you so implicity—l mean, I wish he did not give you so much leeway. The oldfashioned man who protected his wife and daughters seems to me much wiser in the long run, than the man who gives them unlimited freedom. For I think you are right when you say it is usually the idea of the intrigue, rather than the man himself, that prompts you to be recftless. And if you once got the idea that intrigue and marriage do not go hand in hand, you might sublimate your desire for heart entanglements. And since you realize how wholly desirable Alan is, and how superior he is to most of the men you knew before or since, it seems incredible to me how you play fast and loose with his devotion. You ought to have children, Marye. Nothing gives a woman such a sense of values, or such a perspective on what is important and what is trivial in life, as having to consider the future and the welfaie of those dependent on her. The difficulty with so many modern marriages, as I see it, is the lack of mutual dependence. So the modern menace has to hang together with much less foundation than the old one had. It may be better, but I doubt it. There’s nothing like the feeling that some one else needs you and is dependent upon you, to keep you from selfishness and flightiness. Yesterday afternoon, Mrs. Morrison and I went out on a buying expedition. She has definitely decided to open the antique rl:op, even though I have not decided to go in with her. I shall help her at first, and see how I like it. We bought some very interesting little mahogany stools which a woman had stored In her attic, and she picked up a very interesting blanket chest in pine. I was surprised at what she had to pay for these things. Apparently anyone with any antiques is quite conscious of their value. She goes about all the details In the most enthusiastic manner, and what* she knows about grains, veneers, periods and lines quite amazes me. It seems she has oeen studying it for years, just for her own amusement, never expecting to do anything with it. Do write often, MOM.

Family Menus

DINNER—Roast loin of lambs, spaghetti, new peas in cream, mint jelly, celery, radishes and olives, orange ice , butterscotch cookies, milk, coffee. The cookies served with dinner ice are the “ice-box” variety. Many women prefer to serve a crisp cookie rather than cake with an ice but the tedious process of rolling and cutting cookies in hot weather seems scarcely worth while. This cooky is delightfully easy to make and keeps well to have on hand for emergencies. Butterscotch Cookies Three-fourths cup butter, 2 cups light brown sugar, 2 eggs, H teaspoon cream of tartar, Ms teaspoon soda, cups flour, 1 teaspoon vanilla, Ms teaspoon salt. Cream butter and beat in sugar. Add eggs wel beaten. Mix and sift flour, cream of tartar, salt and add to first mixture. Add vanilla. Form into a long roll about 2 inches in diameter and let stand in ice-box over night. Cut in thin slices and bake in a hot oven. On Good Will Tour Miss Mary E.

Overdoing Wifely Role in Sacrifice BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON This is a real sob story. A middleaged woman with two daughters whose divorced husband was that day marrying a lovely young girl, was weeping over it when I saw her the other day. She belongs to that increasing number of women who are not able to do what we call “keeping up with their husbands.” She had kept up with him so far as doing hard work and keeping a stiff upper lip through difficult years was concerned, but it seem, this does not count for much nowadays. She had borne him four children, two of whom she had seen lowere into the grave, and this did not ten . to improve her figure. She ha 1 ruined her eyes doing mending fit night by an oil lamp. She ha:i washed soiled linen which is net good for the hands, and she had cooked and swept which is sometimes hard on the complexion. Finally when the two had obtained money and moved into a larger city, the husband suddenly found that he had outgrown his wife. It ended in a divorce, as it generally does. And this was followed, as it generally Is, by the man’s marrying a younger and prettier woman. The fact that he was as fat and unprepossessing as his abandoned wife did not appear to strike this man, who is counted rather brilliant in business circles. There were wrinkles in his face, his tummy was too noticeable and his head was frankly bald. But he stood up beside the glowing young girl and repeated the same vows that he hacj once said to the other woman. Oh, yes, he thinks himself a fin* fellow and that his success has greatly improved him. Drat such a husband, T say. In reality, he has not kept up with his wife, who has given him love and devotion and help when he needed it most, and who got in return not even common gratitude. A bit of modern chivalry, this, my sisters, which should make us think seriously. It never pays to sacrifice one’s self too much for any man. The more we do for them the less they love us.

Girl Scout News

The Girl Scout camp was opened July 2 at Camp Dellwood, eight miles northwest of Indianapolis. There were about sixty-five girls and twenty eoursellors in attendance during the first period, which, ended Wednesday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Rush were the guests of Girl Scouts at camp. After the evening meal Miss Emma Gardner gave a talk in appreciation of aid Mr. and Mrs. Rush have given scouting. Mrs. Rush was given a bouquet of flowers, picked from the camp grounds, and Mrs. Rush, leading the procession of girls, placed rush trail signs along the main trail. The second camp period will begin Monday for two weeks. The third and fourth periods are stiff open and all girls wishing to register may do so as soon as convenient. Camp mail may be addressed to Camp Dellwood, Route 2, Box 436, Indianapolis. SCH LOSSES’S OaMrove Butter (fresh Churned from 9 tesh Qvan WEAK WOMAN GETS STRENGTH By Taking Lydia E.
