Ye girls who would hasten to the
feet of Hymen, hearken to what
Anita Stewart says;
Here are some of the rule she has
hid down for maidens whose eyes
are turned toward matrimony:
"Don't marry a man just because
you think he is 'cute' or something,
lis may be cute like a young puppy
deg, and as useless.
Don't marry before you are 25,
because you have to give up all your
girlhood jcy of making a lot cf men
miserable before you finally pick on
the one you ivant.
"Don't pin all your happiness to
a man, anyway. Have other inter
estschildren, social work, a pro.
fcMicn.
"Don't go by what a man says he
likes in a woman keep your eyed
fee'ed for what he really does like.
Tlen do it."
Anita propounds some of those
"dent's" in her next picture, "The
Invisible Fear," which opens Sun

Common Sense
By J. J. MUNDY.
The Open Road.
You know that you ire deficient in
knowledge of many thing which you
should know to he conndered intelli
gent. Year after year you put off from
time to time the let period you think
you must have to learn more of these
subjects and you will still continue
to put off.
Why not pan out for one niht a
week during thin winter.
One night a week devoted to your
particular study would accomplish
much.
Self denial will enter in. Perhaps
there will be a big party the very
first or second evening you set to be
gin the mastery of your study.
What will you do postpone the
study again?
What are you in caiurst about,
study or personal pleasure?
You may find kind friends to help
put you through if it becomes known
that you are willing to sacrifice a
personal good time for work.
But do not blame your kind friends
for deserting you and your cause if
you are found wanting on account of
too much devotion on your part to a
"good time."
And if you knew that a very much
more lucrative job were at the end
of the road after you have acquired
this additional knowledge would you
not be more than ever anxious to
pursue the subject?
It requires regular systematic study
and a serious mind concentrated on
the thing in hand. Can you qualify?
