Graham, Judge of the Supreme Court of the state of California. He says mar liage is to be regarded as a fifty-fifty proposition. Prepar edness is essential with follow up tact, patience, toleiance, honesty, humor and an infinite capacity for forgiveness. The increase[in divorce is attributed to sportiness and the lack of sportsmanship. Asa {remedy for this growing evil it is suggested that no girl should be permitted to marry until she has a practical knowledge of housekeeping. She should be instructed in both prenatal and postnatal care of children and she should be made to see that mariiage is a matter of give and take. No man should become a husband without a clean bill of health and without the ability to earn a wage sufficient to keep himself and his wife comfortable and with an outlook for children. Judge Graham thinks if these rules were followed there would be a rapid decrease in the number of divorces and un doubtedly he is correct. However it is going to take a lot of education to make people remove this and to make them go against the strong urge of human nature. When two yonng people decide they want to marry, it takes a lot to make them stop and consider the education of the wife as far as the care of children are concerned, the ability to cook for wage earning capacity of the husband. Such consideration come only with age and wisdom. Lady Astor, the first woman to gain a seat in the English Parliament and who has been paying a visit to her native country, America, believes that the only way to improve conditions is to instill in the children a desiie for better lives. And she is correct, for the little children of today will be the law-makers or the law-breakers tomorrow. On the mothers and fathers rests the burden of the future welfare of the country and God grant they may live up to their responsibility. Alfred E. Stearnes, principal of Phillips Acadomy at An dover, asks in the Woman’s Home Companion that we give youth its chance. He is not in sympathy with the social con ditions that force young college boys to resoit to police pro tection to insure ordinary decency at afiateinity dance. He appeals with the mothers to play fair with youths. The most potent influence today in the lives of boys and girls, are the movies, popular literature and the social life which compris es the prevalent extravagances in music, dancing, fashion and the free indulgence of liquor. Youth will respond to its better self when the appeal is clear and compelling. MY LITTLE AOUSE. I wish I had a little house Within a little garden plot. Within just a tiny sauare of lawn To bleach the household linen on. A sweetbriar bush beside the door And honeysuckle in the hedge, A shady porch along one side Where I can sit in all my pride. From door to eedge a path of brick, Bordered by box and brilliant bloom, An apple tree against the wall Laden with ripe fruit in the fall. Beyond the hedge a country road. Beyond wide fields and farmsteads gray: 0, I can see it all so plain, See it in sunshine and in rain! I can hear, too, the robins sing At sunrise in the apple boughs, And I can hear the meadow lark Between the daylight and the dark. I smell the bush beside the door, The honeysuckle in the hedge. And in the fields across the way The fragrance of the farmers’ hay. Is it a dream? It seems so clpar, With bush and tree, and hedge and walk, And just that tiney square of lawn To bleach the household linen on! —Elisa Van Wyck. NO- 18
