Hampering Marriages * Would Fail Better Training of YoungMore Likely to Get Results. BY GRETTA PALMER XEA service Staff Writer NEW YORK, May 28. —“Look here,” said a young man in the office, “I don't think you ought to advocate making marriage easy for young people by suggesting that the parents subsidize the bride and groom, as you did Saturday. I don't think Vassar college is altogether right, either, in

removing obstacles to the snapjudgment wedding. Was the saying about marrying in haste left out of your copybook?” ‘ ‘ Um- m , ” I said. “I'll take 'that up another day.” The young man’s attitude recalls that member of the New York legislature who recently suggested

Miss Palmer

that a marriage " license, if he had his way, would cost S2O and a divorce just 15 cents. * I think they are both wrong. It is quite true that many marriages have ended in disaster because the young couples ignored the advice to look before leaping. It is certain that a wedding performed by the justice of the peace at midnight for a couple who met at the. cocktail hour, after six rounds, is socially undesirable. But will making marriage difficult alleviate these evils? The young men and women of today have grown up in the belief that there are precious few obstacles legal or otherwise which . they can not get around. To get forbidden gin their fathers have had to go no farther than the delicatessen store. To procure a divorce on grounds unrecognized by her j state their mother's friend needed only to spend a pleasant holiday in Reno. Welcome Obstacles It is spiritless, in the philosophy i of many of these youngsters, to let % obstacles stand in the way of getting what you want. Make marriage difficult by law and you will have many such marriage mills as already exist in one smali town in Maryland, with no questions asked. Impose parental restrictions and the ladder manufacturers wall do a brisk elopers’ trade. Place economic difficulties in the path of the young couple and they will very often choose starvation together in preference to plenty in their parents’ homes. < More ill-advised marriages, I believe, have resulted from the parents’ opposition than would ever have occurred if mother and father ' had kept quiet and waited for the young pair to come to their senses. * Love —even a transient and unsubstantial love—is a very stubborn emotion. Forbid a girl to marry the man of her momentary choice and you' may vastly increase his glamour in her eyes. Resent Interference Young men and women, after all, . have a certain right to resent the interference of outsiders in their marital plans. For marriage is, of all steps one can take., the most personal, and if the other partner ■ pleases you, why, even your nearest and dearest can have no voice in - the matter. It is you. after all, who will live your life, and it is your human right to decide with whom it shall be shared. The time, in fact, for the family and society to prevent unfortunate marriages is before the couple ever meet. If a young woman has been f brought up with a properly serious regard for the institution she will not bound into marriage with the first young quarterback who comes along. If a man has been endowed with any sense at all he will look the situation over cautiously before he mentions love. The only really effective obstacles to hasty marriage are those which are part and parcel of the character of the man and woman involved. Party Scheduled Miss N. K. Reilly. 1406 Lexington k avenue, will entertain tomorrow night. Mrs. R. E. Phillips will be a special guest.

Collectors Interested in U. S. Navy Cachets

BY MRS. C. O. ROBINSON Times Hobby Editor THE U. S. S. Indianapolis, anchored in Nev; York harbor, will have the honor of being host Thursday to President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Secretary of the Navy Claude A. Swanson, and Admiral Willaim H. Standley, chief of naval operations, when from her decks they review the combined battle and scouting forces of the United States fleet—the greatest peace-time naval spectacle ever staged in America. When this giant armada fires the twenty-one-gun presidential salute. it will have completed a momentous trip from the Pacific coast. As souvenirs of the part the U. S. S. Indianapolis has played In this great sea pageant, Lawrence Iverson, a ship mail clerk has sent to collectors their covers cancelled on the Indianapolis at different stages in the progress of the fleet. The cancellations read: April 9, Departure from San Pedro and San Diego; April 17, at sea accompanied by U. S. S. Macon; April 21, arrival at Balboa. Canal Zone; April 23, in transit, Panama Canal; April 24, Cristobal, Canal Zone; May 5, en route Guantanamo bay area; May 6. U. S. S. Macon in company with U. S. fleet, Caribbean maneuvers, and May 13, fleet departs for New York. Often the covers contained the ship's newspaper, the Hoosier, giving pertinent details of the trip such as accounts of battle practice or the soulful wail, “No can lead in the singing of ‘The Man on the Flying Trapeze.’ But if it is for sale in Panama it will be on tap, so get your pipes ready.” The U. S. S. Seattle is sponsoring a cachet in honor of the arrival of the fleet in New York. The covers have been prepared, so send only name, address and 3 cent stamp for each cover . requested to L. McDermott, U. S. S. Seattle, navy yard. Brooklyn, N. Y. Commemorative stamps on the envelope will be appreciated.

Have a Hobby

'T'HE Hoboken Business Men’s Association also is sponsoring a cachet for the arrival of the fleet. It will have covers canceled on one of the cruisers berthed at Hoboken. Send no more than two self-addressed stamped elvelopes to L. J. Kramer,, 84 Washington street, Hoboken, N. J. Two other very interesting naval covers have come recently from the waters of the far east. One from the U. S. S. Black Hawk, mothership to the destroyers of the Asiatic fleet signed M. B. Owens C. M. M.., U. S. C. S. 25. The other is from the U. S. S. Gold Star, supply ship for the island of Guam Another of the ever delightful Japanese cancelations also has been received. This one marks the sixty-third year since Japan entered the postal union. A quaintly worded announcement of the cancellation appeared in English at the Yokahama postoffice. It read: “Public are notified that the 20th of April has newly been settled to be observed as, Communications Commemoration day every year. A special date stamp will be used for cancellation when requested for four days from the 20th. In spite of the flood of commemorative stamps last year, 1930 stands as the banner year for commemorative issues with 737 varieties, as reported by Scott’s Monthly Journal. 1932 was second with 587 and 1933 was third with 440. If 1934 continues the record of the first few months it may take first place. The United States National park series and the Wisconsin Tercentenary are scheduled for the immediate future and Post-master-General Farley announces that he even will have a Santa Claus stamp, although undoubtedly he merely was being facetious. The foreign commemoratives also pour in from every country, great and small. Through the courtesy of Miss Grace Haw'ke, an Indianapolis business woman interested 'particularly in foreign commemoratives, I saw the gorgeous Italian set issued recently in honor of Gabriele d’Annunzio and the annexation of Fiume. Since this series includes seven values of ordinary postage, six values in air mail and two values in airport special delivery and the values mount rather high, they tax the pocketbook of even the specialized collector, n tt a Undoubtedly the most popular of the foreign commemoratives are the stamps issued by Belgium, Ruanda-Vrandy and the Belgan Congo in honor of the late King Albert.' Many persons w'ho are not stamp collectors but whp lived througn the tragic days of the World war, have purchased these stamps for sentimental reasons,

She believed it would build me up. regulate me and help the nervous trouble. 1 knew after taking half a bottle of Cardui that I was better. I kept on taking Cardui and found it was doing me a world of good. I am in good health, which means u lot to me.” . . . Thousands of women testify Cardui benefited them. If it does not benefit YOU, consult a physician.—Advertisement.
