Marriage on Increase, Says
Sociologist
Hope for bachelor maids, which is very appropriate to the leap year
month, is held out in data quoted by Prof. Edward A. Ross of Wisconsin
university, in a recent volume entitled, "The Social Trend." Not only are
Americans "one of the most married peoples on the face of the earth,” de
clares the famous sociologist, but they are getting more that way every
minute. “The Magyars and the Slavs are the only Europeans who give
themselves up to matrimony with greater abandon than we do,” he In
forms hls readers.
Despite the ewarma of women go-,
ing over into business and industry,
"this freedom” lias so far made no
dent in the holy state of matrimony.
Quite to the contrary; out of 100
American women in 1890, 32' were
single; In 1900, 31; In 1910, only 30.
Figures for later years ore not avail
able but there is reason to believe
that the good work goes on. The
professor does not venture an opin
ion whether the increased proportion
of marriages is due to the desirability
of having a high-salaried wife or to
the application of the principle of
economic self-determination for wo
men.
The sociologist gives Volstead the
principal credit for serving as Cupid's
right-hand man in ushering the new
rush of couples up the aisle to the
altar, since in the reign of John
Barleycorn there were tens of thou
sands of Sydney Cartons, who were
not good matrimonial timber. With
the vogue of prohibition, which be
gan to creep in about 1900, the pro
portion of marriages began to creep
up.
One fly in the ointment is that
while unmarried women are dwind
ling in proportion, the average age of
marriage is getting lower and those
' vvho have survived it are less likely
than before to yield. In 1900, 47 per
cent of all girls between the ages of
15 and 24 were married, while in
1910, 50 per cent had taken unto
themselves husbands. But the ’ per
sistent spinsters,” who constitute
seven or eight out of every 100 wo
men, are a little more likely to stand
firm.
This should not be taken to heart
too much, as Dr. Boss cautions that
the reason for such a situation Is
the happier state of modern bachelor
woman. The condition of the old
fashioned spinster was so Intolerable
that she would clutch at any release,
and it was long before she “quit
struggling ” in the farmer phrase.
But the up-to-date woman soon finds
interest* which distract her attention
from the pursuit of the elusive male.
But those who have not yet attained
this Nirvana might easily deduce that
the part of wisdom is to pop the
question while the popping is good.
Dr. Ross, author of "The Changing
Chinese,” and several volumes on
sociology and on Russia, was for
some years a profesaor at the Uni
versity of Nebraika.

lowing the ceremony. They will be

Children
The Minneapolis Symphony or- :
rhestra, which arrives in Omaha at:
8:30 this morning, will gi\c a matinee:
for school children only, this mom
ing at 11. The matinee, which was
originally scheduled for 3, hai* been

for the Woodrow Wilson memorial '
service this afternoon. The evening
concert, under the auspices of the
Tuesday Musical club, will take place
at 8:15.
Eighty-five member:* of the or
chestra arrive via Illinois Central this

Pullman cars which, with a baggage
.car, make up their section. Henri
Verbruggen and several of the prin

cellist, will be the guest of Herman
K. Mansfield at luncheon.
Tlie Minneapolis symphony opened
its spring musical season last Friday,
February 1, with a program which
featured the works pf several modern
composers. "A London Symphony,” j
by Vaughan Williams, was the most
important number of the program,
while ‘‘King Estmere,” by Leo Sower
hy, gave another work by a young
composer, an American this time.
The Bach "Concerto in C” and the
opening of the third act from th»
opera “Tristan” paid respect to the
classic masters.
"The increasing excellence of the
performance was but a sure mark of
the Improvement of the orchestra in
personal and ensemble.” writes Victor
Nilsson In the Minneapolis Journal of
thin performance.
Interpreting the Three-Piece
Mode.
By Eleanor Gunn.
The sleeveless Jacket Is something
over which to ponder. It is a spring
possibility which Is heralded far
enough ahead to make it possible
for us to be prepared.
The rketch Is an Agnes Interpreta
tion made of navy charmelaine com
bined with a gay Marocain print
crepe, and the sketch in miniature in
dicates the effect when the Jacket is
worn. One suspects that it is don
ned, not for warmth, since the back,
is slashed to the neckline, but for
chic. I
Many of the couturiers subscribe
BEANS are good, wholesome,
nourishing food, but Nature
forgot to give them a tempting
flavor. Baking adds the flavor,
and no other method of cook
ing will. Boiling or steaming
leaves them dull and un
interesting.
Heinz Beans are baked,
oven-baked, and that is why
the label reads HEINZ Oven
Baked Beans.
There are four kinds of
Heinz Baked Beans
Baked Beans with Pork and Tomato
Sauce. Baked Beans without Tomato
Sauce, with Pork (Boston Style). Baked
Beans in Tomato Sauce without meat
(Vegetarian). Baked Red Kidney Beans.

to the banded type of trimming, for
the tendency one may be reminded
again, is toward tailored and rela
ttvely simple effects.
AJlied stripes still occur on plain
surfaces which, for decorative rea
sons may be striped here and there,
and pipings of strongly contrasting
materials arc a feature of costumes
exploited for the fortunates who con
cern themselves with summer clothes
In February. Bands often wide*
into stripes broad enough to const!
fhte a panel, and many frocks have
the front panel note either from
neckline to skirt or from the waist
down. In the latter category, the
more usual treatment is not a
straight panel, hut a gathered or
pleated one. Hven in frocks of linen,
in both heavy and handkerchief
weight, the panel idea appears. On
one lovely French blue handmade
frock, the wide front panel la em
phasized by having overlapping
bands of the material embroidered at
one edge.
Striped frocks of the chemlsiere or
shirt type often have the self trlm
mlngs of the stripes used In an op
posite direction, and In this type of
dress either the bosom or front panel
Is employed. Men's silk shirtings,
striped flannels even to the extremes
of black stripes and some crossbar
effects are popular as evidenced by
the frocks seen at southern beaches.
Flannel ts among the old-time fa
vorites revived and although pessi
mists Insist that alpaca would not
be wanted In America In spite of Ita
success abroad, It has been found that
all good shops are having calls for
frocks made of this practical warm
weather fabric.

One Reason
for Nervous
Disorders
OUR doctor can tell you that
nervous disorders are very com
mon among Americans. One reason
for this is found in the fact that they
are great coffee drinkers.
Coffee contains caffeine, a drug,
prescribed by doctors as an emergency
stimulant for the heart and nervous
system. It has a tendency to increase
blood pressure, develop heart irreg
ularities and cause digestive dis
turbances.
If you feel that coffee is not good
for you, serve Postum as your meal
I time drink.
Postum is a pure cereal beverage
that refreshes and satisfies. It is ab
solutely free from caffeine or any
other irritating drug.
Try a cup of Postum with your
dinner or supper tonight. Postum is
sold everywhere.
