Marriage Dies When Love Ends ffune Brides-to-Be Need Not Face Altar as Pessimists. BY GRETTA PALMER Time* Special Writer N-EW YORK, March s—This is the season in which the June brides become engaged. The poor dears. I greatly fear, are m for months of very dreary admonitions from the”- relatives and friends—and not only from the oldfashioned (i- ment among them.

either. A student of latterday psvrholf>gy or an expert on Havelock Ellis can make marriage sound as cold and cheerless as any cleric preaching about "duty.” The truth of the matter is that the average bride today enters upon marriage in a state of high trepidation. She has seen many mar-

riage go awry; she is constantly conscious of the fact that others who had high hopes on their wedding days have gone to Reno. There are fashions in pre-marital jitters, but the jitters themselves seem the eternal lot of the bride. The old-fashioned girl was scared half out of her wits by the prospect of the honeymoon. The modern bride feels sure that she can go through the honeymoon as a matter of course, but she wonders about those years when, she has been told, the first enthusiasm of young love has died down and marriage becomes a humdrum and wearisome affair. Well, the plain fact of the matter is that it need do no such thing. Marriage, no matter what our elders say, is still a lot of fun, and there is no reason why its gayety and charm can not survive the years. The adjustments and sacrifices of which brides are so solemnly warned are not difficult if the bride is filled with good-will toward the man she marries —and if she is not. why. then she should not marry him at all.

Difficulties Exaggerated v In fact, the difficulties of the married state have been considerably and unnecessarily exaggerated. We have been given to understand that many marirages go on the rocks because of the small, irritating habits of its partners. It is suggested that the relationship is so filled with pitfalls that no amount of consideration or prescience can avoid them all. Wives, we are assured may be estranged by their husbands’ unconscious habit of reading the weather report out loud. Husbands have been sent to the arms of sirens, we are told, because their wives always rumpled a newspaper when reading it. Well, a wife who would leave her husband for any such petty reason is a woman who would throw up her job because her employer smoked a brand of cigarets she did not like. Those things do not break up marriages. Death of Understanding What makes a marriage a failure is far more fundamental than that —it is the death of kindliness and r love and understanding. And those things do not die unless we are willing to let them. So buck up. young brides-to-be. If your fiance overlooks your little follies now you can depend on him to overlook them after you are married. All you have to —orry about is keeping the emotions that bind you together alive—the rest of it. no matter what your mentors tell you. will take care of itself. CLUB FORMATION TO BE COMPLETED Eliza A. Blaker Club will hold a meeting at 2 next Saturday at the Spink-Arms to complete its organization. At a team which will follow a business meeting, Mrs. Cornelia Bell Caret and Mrs. Nellie Shrock Smith will pour.

A Woman's Viewpoint BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

A college boy writes: "Women are the moulders of men, therefore men always will be precisely the kind of beings women desire they shall be.” Tins is one of the greatest fallacies by which the race lias been misled. Morals and behavior are the result of the economic life of the people—and certainly women have never had much to do with that. Some succumb to the influence of those platitudes which say that woman. as wife and mother, is the instrument that shapes human destiny. But the facts are otherwise, and so plain they can not be refuted. Man. who transacts local, national and international business; who changes the very fate of civilizations by his policies and war-wag-inys. is the person who decides what moral codes shall be. He is the unconscious arbiter of all human behavior. Every time he builds another skyscraper he alters the mood, the belief, the thought, the fate of a city full of people. Now you may point to Queen Victoria and remind me that she was responsible for a change in moral attitudes all over the earth. But I shall ask you to read once more the history of her life. Study her letters and journals and you must then be convinced of one thing. The code we call Victorian was Albert's code. Victoria merely was the instrument of Albert’s will and. far more than we have realized. Victorian ethics were a result of Victorian economic policies. When women are scarce, as they once were on our frontiers, they were protected even by bad men. Chastity was the important virtue, as it has always been the important virtue of queens, so that men might be certain of the paternity of their children. But when wars are made and there is a surplus of women, as happened in 1918. morals immediately became lax and the stricter codes

. disappear. In an urban civilization such as ours, which was built by men, sophistication is rife and the traits peculiar to a rural people disappear. Women really are helpless to change the codes in any land. The only way they can ever do so is to acquire more political authority. The individual is always at the mercy of his economic system. MINISTERS’ WIVES ATTEND LUNCHEON Appointments were in observance of St. Patrick's day when members of the Methodist Ministers Wives’ Association met for luncheon Friday in the nurses’ home of the Methodist hospital.
