Certified Brides And Bridegrooms

BY WINIFRED BLACK. ONCE there was a clever little boy who was always taking clocks to pieces and meddling with locks and making wheels, and inventing ways of shutting the old door so that it wouldn't be locked and yet the dog could not spring the latch such a clever, clever

boy but I always hated to have him come to visit at our house. You see, he could take a clock to pieces wonderfully well and put it together just mod

erately well. The

clock would go after he had put it

together again, but

somehow there was

always something

wrong with it some

way. Sometimes it told the time all right but struck wrong. Sometimes it struck all right but told the hour wrong and then again it was the alarm that never quite got over the clever boy's handling. Sometimes I wonder about him he's a doctor now, a very successful surgeon; always taking people to pieces. I wonder if they run quite so well when he is through with them as they did before he touched them he and his "science." I see he read a paper at a great medical convention yesterday it was all about "eliminating the unfit." He doesn't want anyone to marry but people in perfect health. He thinks physicians should regulate marriage and regulate it legally. No one should be allowed to marry at all

without the "yes, indeed" of the whole medical profession. Fine idea, progressive, and all that. I wonder if it is quite practical? Now, there's the doctor himself, for instance. I happen to know that his mother was an old-fashioned consumptive. She took twenty years a-dying, and one of his brothers died of the oldfashioned illness out in Colorado not so many weeks ago. The doctor Is alive yet, and very lively too, thank you. He wouldn't be here at all if his advice had been taken thirty years ago and just think how we should have missed him and his experiments with the clocks and with people's internals. We knew a good many of the same people, the doctor and I, when he was taking clocks to pieces. One of them died of cancer; her mother died of it, too; and she married and had three children. One of them is the cleverest, all-around woman I know, one is mediocre and one has made himself a fortune in a country town and is spending it helping sick babies get well. Now if that woman had not been allowed to marry, what then?

The best family in the town where we both lived had three sons every one of them has turned out a failure. One's an invalid, one's a criminal and one is a drunkard. Father was sound as a hickory nut, and mother never had an ill day in her life. How about that family? How far back have you got to go to get at the source of infection and who's going to do the "going"? "I can find enough degenerates in any family on earth to get any client off for murder in the first degree," said a clever lawyer to me just the

other day. "I don't suppose there's a family in America without somebody ; 'queer' in it." I Just how "queer" have you go to be ! and who's going to decide about it when you try to get a marriage license and can't? "Eliminate the unfit" well, well, Mr. Physician, who are the unfit? There's Robert Louis Stevenson, for instance. He never drew a breath of i good health in his life. Would you j have "eliminated" him? How about Julius Caesar, how about j Napoleon, how about Mohammed, how j about Daniel Webster, how about St.

Paul? Unfit every one of them from the doctor's point of view, and there are still more illustrious examples of the unfit who survived and made the world over just to suit their own ideas while the "fit" stood around and looked on and wondered about it. It's a glorious idea you have, doctor, and one that every civilized nation should study carefully but are you quite sure how you are going to manage it? I got the "sterilized" fad once and wouldn't let anyone have a drop of water that wasn't boiled; till my old doctor came along and told me I had boikd all the life out of it, and he said he'd risk a few germs if he were me on the principle that he'd rather be an aquarium than a cemetery and I got over my fad. "Drink water all you can," shouts the water-cure fiend. "Don't touch water till you have to," insists the new specialist. "When your brain is tired, work your body," advises the doctor who is supposed to know." "Don't overwork a tired system," says his neighbor. "Rest is the only thing to cure fatigue." And so it goes we're all so interested in this "eliminate the unfit" idea, and yet when I look around

amone mv friends, a orettv decent lot

of people as the world goes, I can see dozens of them who would never have been born at all if this idea bad been strictly carried out, and somehow I can't think the world would have been much better off for that. Take the old clock to pieces, doctor, all you will, but please, good friend, be quite sure you know how to put it together again so it will strike twelve at midnight and not at eight of the morning.

Beauty

Dainty Florence Jerome Talks on the Beauty of Ideals

Married Life the First Year

The Most Wonderful Time.

BY MABEL HERBERT URNER. All that Helen had ever bard cr read about a mother's euro before the coming of her child she now read to put into practice. The reading of cheerful books, and keeping of herself from worry and anxiety and her thoughts on pleasant things, the wearing of light, dainty clothing, and having flowers and pretty things about her. To her diet she gave the most careful concern plenty of fruit and nourishing food. ' She drank no more coffee or tea, but plenty of milk, and always a glass of warm milk at night. Faithfully every day after luncheon she would lie down for a nap. She was harboring all her strength to meet the need that was to come. For diversion, Warren took her to a number of concerts and light operas. And as she sat beside him, her hand held close in his, under the program or a fold of her wrap, she let hersel" drift to the strains of the music about her and to the wonderful song within herself and knew that life was giving her of its best. She had long neglected her piano, but now she spent hours playing softly, dreamily, sweet, old-fashioned melodies that she played by ear, while her mind hovered about the wonder of the next few months and all that they would mean. HER KEENER SYMPATHIES. Even the hand-organ man received an unusual number of pennies. She seemed to find a melody in 'his grind

ing airs that she had never noticed before. And, too, there seemed a new pathos in the old and withered Italian couple who day after day pushed by their heavy organ, looking up to the windows for pennies that so rarely came. Helen's sympathies were keener and the demands on them more frequent than ever before. She could pass no beggar, no blind or crippled peddler without heeding their appeal. And Warren, who had always been strongly opposed to promiscuous almsgiving, now made no protest when she asked him to "give that poor old man something." And when he dropped a coin in some trembling, palsied hand, she would press closer against his arm. "Now that we are so happy it seems so hard to see unhappiness in others. If one could only help them all in some real way some way that would give them courage and hope. Oh, there is so much suffering I seem to see it more now than ever before." "But you musn't dear. Now is the time you mustn't think of such things." WARREN IS KINDER. "Oh, I know, I know, and yet I can't help it I feel everything so much more keenly. And the children the poor little street children who are born in ignorance and disease who are never given a chance! Oh. Warren, if one could only help those children help them to help themselves! "Hush, dear, you mustn't dwell on things like that! If you think of them

I recommend simple dignity for the street. Though I believe in a bit of powder to cool the skin, I don't like to see a girl turned Into a clown It is a tradition of the theatre to sleep until eleven o'clock, but I am going boldly against that tradition. Each of us

THE world is eing very kind to pretty eighteen-year-old Florence Nugent Jerome, and she is giving back to the world smiles and sweetness and sunshine. But far back in the depths of her wonderful gray eyes is a question that makes you think of some of the sadness of all the ages. "Why should this little girl, who has leaped into instant favor with the theatre going public, have this question in the depths of her eyes and soul?" I asked myself. But after a few minutes I knew. Little Florence Jerome is a sensitive idealist, and so she looks at life sadly now and then for all her merry nature. She would have all beauty perfect, and she knows it is not. "Rosemary Lee" cannot find happiness in the "Follies" of New York. So the creator of Rosemary cannot find satisfaction in the follies of her sistergirls in New York. "Even in my little

at all, try to think that there Is an eternal justice in all things and that somewhere, sometime, all that now seems hard and cruel, will be made right." Warren had never been given to moralizing, and yet now he often surprised himself in his desire to comfort and reassure her. And her trust and clinging dependence on him now was complete. She took to him all the little perplexities with which she would never have bothered him before. She was no longer afraid of him, she no longer hesitated to ask his advice or help in anything that might contribute to her comfort or peace of mind. For she felt that it was not only her welfare that was to be considered but the welfare of something so dear to them both,

Miss Jerome In Three Poses. time in New York theatrical circles I have seen so much," said she, "and I wonder, Avonder if girls never think of the price they pay for immodesty and silliness." This was to be an unusual Interview. I sat up, literally as well as mentally alert. "Have you brought your ideals with you into the theatre?" I asked. GIRLS HAVE THE POWER. "Yes, and into New York," answered Miss Jerome with assurance and earnestness. "Girls have it in their power to make the attitude of the men. Now look at the results. The men are beginning to think that they must be worldly and sporty and to boast about it in order to win favor with girls. Then the girls think that in order to be popular with men they must cater to the worldliness they have helped create the demand for. So we see girls painting their faces absurdly and wearing immodest clothes, and everybody blames everybody else for the lowering of our ideals. I blame the girls. If we are sweet and modest, and seem to admire and appreciate the fine qualities in men, they will culti vate them and then we will feel that our sweet qualities make us attractive. It is an endless chain, isn't it? But I do so admire the old-fashioned modest feminine girl, and I am sure the girl of this type will find love and kindness waiting her wherever she goes. "If men are getting so used to inmodesty that they like it, why then let us train them to modesty and see how much better they will like that! A good beginning would be to distinguish carefully between the clothes we wear on the street and those we wear in the house. Simple dignity for the street, with the constant remembrance that the sun-glare reveals everything it can so we must be careful to conceal what should be concealed and thougti

should be alone part of the day. The best time for that Is early in the morning. An early morning walk braces and invigorates you for the remainder of the day. You should always have your own Ideal as a picture in your mind.

I believe in a bit of powder to cool the skin, I don't like to see a girl turned into a clown by the brazen revealing of the sun. NOT A PRIG. "Please don't get the idea that I am a prig," went on dainty Miss Florence, whose beauty has the sweet simplicity of the old-fashioned minature. "I believe in youth and pleasure and being as attractive as you can, so you will look young and pleasure will come your way. But I think you should always have your own ideal as a picture in your mind and not be persuaded to like a strange picture just because it is popular. "Now, let me illustrate for you. At the convent where I was educated I got the habit of walking each morning from 8:30 to 9:30. The air is so cool and pure then, and nature ia so lovely and healing. Well, it is a tradition of the theatre to sleep until about 11, and I, a mere beginner, am boldly going against that tradition, because I think that an early morning walk invigorates and braces you up for the day. I wonder if it would not be worth the while of all bueines women to get up a bit earlier and have each day start off in a little stock-taking visit with themselves and nature. Each f us should be alone a part of each day, and the very best time is in the coolness of the morning. You can Just plan then to have your day bigger and finer than it was yesterday. "We all need solitude and we all need pleasure. Life has to have relaxation and spice as well as ideals. But. I don't know how any one can be beautiful unless they try to be sweet and lovable. And that is not a bit what you wanted. Is it? said Miss Jerome. "It was not exactly what I expected," I answered. "But I like yonr oldfashioned girl and your old-fashioned

Ideals and I hope you can make them the fashion of today." And so I do. little sisters, and so

Too many girls grow tired and let the water get out of the hair as lest it can. This is a big mistake, for the damp condition Is apt to give one a cold, or It may produce rheumatism of the head and shoulders. If you have not the strength to give the shampoo yourself ask your sister or some kind friend to help you out and offer to do as much for her.

To Keep the Hands White and Soft. Use a sonp rich in oil and containing no alkali to crack and harden the skin. After the hands have been cleansed and thoroughly rinsed a lather made from the soap should be rubbed Into the hands and wrists. Continue the rubbing until all the lather has been absorbed or there Is very little to wipe away. The oil feeds the skin, keeps it soft and prevents the shriveled appearance and feeling which come especially to hands that are kept for long periods In hot water. Hands thus treated are soft and white. It Is Important to remember that the lather which is rubbed in is not the lather with which the hands are cleansed, but a fresh lather, made after the cleansing has been completed.
