A girl with a piquant something, the pixy quirk, the cast of eye and hair and neck fixings and hands and feet that cry aloud for black and white. She's a gold-girl, sometimes, of course tut when I shut my eyes and con jure up her image her eyes are dark-1 everywhere dark and soft, with something of the Latin looking out each side of a nose that is pure American.

Thla la the second commandment of matrimony: Thou shalt not marry a pari"'" orna ment la the vain belief that mat.lmony wllt convert it Into a kitchen utentll. There la no sup erstition more com monly held than that tha marriage ceremony Is a sort of a 'conjLr,'', as our coioreu -menus say, and tbat when Its mystic 4 words are mumbled over a man and woman It changea their en tire naturee, haMts and outlook uion life. Millions of other w isu sane and sensible people take unto themselves husbanda and wives that they know to be utterly unsuit able, ex-cept tl.at tljey are pinning theli faith to thdf dark masle involved In "getting married," that they have a childlike belief will somehow, eome way, transmute the baso metal of humanity into the pure fcold of an Weal character. Of couree, anyone who roaily noius 10 thla fatuoua doctrtne la a fit subject f'r the investigation' of an alienist and not the mlnmtratlons of av clergyman, for tha most eurHory observation sU'jws that marriage fat no miracle worker. What a man and woman ,were before niair age they are going to be after marriage, only mora so. Matrimony tdoej not obliterate our characteristics' or change one set of characteristic for another. It almply r tntenslflea tralta that we have, so that those who are noble and patient and un selfish before marriage become mure and mora aalntly, and thue who are mean and tyrannical become more devilish in the opportunities -offered them by tha family circle.' .'

Also, girls continue confidently to march to the altar with rojes and drunkards In the fond belief that the noteo of that McndelsHohu rug lays a spell upon a man s that he never thirsts f -r a his'ioi1' agnln, or l-.aa an eye for the fluttt r of a pett'eoat.

What rltibi has a nun who murries for wives girla who are everything that a tungo-mad girl (o expect her to become want, and get it. They do not expect any sleight-of-hand performance to be worked In their behalf so that tha loaf of bread they started with from the bakery will ba converted Into angel cake by the time they get home with It. lint In marrlagu they do expect the mlracl to happen, ao that tha silly will turn mUe, the estravagant thrifty, tha In ly industrious, the dull brilliant, tha hlgh-temperd meek, and the Intemperate sober and restrained. The miracle never happens, and then the disappointed dupes I vnai ngiu nns inu wumr.ii wno nua of their own folly beat upon their breasts and lamrast matrimony. The fault la their own. Tha man had every rhi.nce to pick out the kind of a wife that ho wanted In tha first place. The woman had every opportunity of selecting tho hort of hushand of which he approved, and If they chose tu turn tliolr buck upon tho safe course and take a chance at the Improbable happenings they have no one to blama but thain- seiver. Moreover, It Is playing the matrimonial game with a stacked deck for a man or woman to marry with the secret hope of reforming, and altering, end olhcrwla- making over the character of the pa.'.y of the second part. Our vanity car not survive finding out that, after al, wo aia not our husband' ideals, or the heroes that we thsught we were to our wives. o woman tan be happy uod-r the drastic experience of having a husband correct her faults. No 'man's love s ir vlv( his wife's efforts to uplift hlin l Domestic happlneea rests on nmUal nd ir.lratlon. Both husband nc wife must give satisfaction to insure ptaca and comfort In tho homo.

In 191a the fact Is here. The exhibits of new things In eleottiolty are ao pro phetic of greater things to com that the very foundation lawe of all nature may yet be dlacovered. And students of elec trical englnoerlng, current manipulation and intricate laws of eluctro-msgnetlsin in technical college of th future may well bo congratulated upon these new things. There are hundreds of apparatus that can be put together and taken apart; hut when aeaemhllng tha parts, students can see the actions of th new laws. Facta of electricity, as shown by the de veloped mechanism, by a labyrlth of colls, transformers, electro-magnetic In struments, reveal dim laws as coming nearer and nearer, like the outlines of a ship coming out of mists. And at pres ent these arc beyond Imagining.. Iluw would It do to say that variations. In potential will change th entire science of application of electricity to useful work? For the poeslbl'ltles of the ef fects of "variations In potential of the field by means of the alternating current are beyond all computation now, for rapidly alternating potentials will en able futur engineer to make machinery at much lesa coat.

Properly manipulated, 10c would make anybody the owner of a share of preferred stock, an equal owner with 9,999 other investors. 1 myself might undertake the management of it In such an event, speculators would not be wanted.

Now the idea is to start a chain of co-operative theatres. If we got together 10,000 origi nal investors of a dime for initial capital we could open a theatre here. Each stockholder could be prevailed upon to bring two customers which logically would give us 30,000 to start with, and with these agreeing to bring two each and so on, the imaginary company would make at least $300 a week profit on each theatre. Multiply this with 50,000 theatres, and we would have $15,000,000 a week. But to be perfectly conservative and for safety sake, so as not to inflate expecta tions cut this in half, and you have $7,500,000 a week.
