could be enacted under the Constitution

States. The laxity of the marriage ami
divorce laws of many of the States has
long been a so'urce ' of national disgrace.

a peculiar expressiveness In Its use. No

The discussion going on as to how a
person can manage to live on $ U.r 0 a
week Is not \very \ healthy or hopeful.
The preaching of economy to a certain
degree Is right and It Is one's duly to
practice economy within reasonable
bounds , but the tendency of many of
he'suggestions and experiences now
indlng place In public print Is to
strengthen the Impression that human
needs are after all very small. The
most natural Inference drawn is that
men Aught t6 be content If earning a
mere pittance and that 'emijloyers can
feel a clear conscience If' they pay
wages which enable'the teller to secure
the bare necessities of life. Men ought
to stmly and practice economy , but this
duty does not rust solely on the wage
earners , As Is5 to be InfolTod from the
form the discussion Is taking. Weie
tlio picas being madu diio-tod toward
extravagance In all stations of life they
might be more hopeful , but such Is not
'
the evident purpose. The endeavor
seems lo he to show how cheaply one
can live In order to justify the paying
of meager wages. While there should
be effort made to keep one's expenses
within the lncome.no matter how small
that Income may be. yet the greater ef
fort should be to Increase that Income
Employers ought not to bo contei't wltl
simply paying such wages as \ \ 11 bare
ly enable men to live and the men ought
not to bo content with simply earnim ,
enough to keen humror awav. Yet sucl
Is the tendency of the discussion no\\
going on. It would be far more prollt
able for ambition to exorcise Itself U
trying to see how productive life can
bo made Instead of how economical It
can be. The energies should be direct
ed to enlarging the powers of meeting
life's needs rather than In endeavoring
to reduce the needs themselves. The
policy of expansion Is more healthy
than that of contraction. Men should
seek lo grow In every way rather than
to shrink. The tabloid theory of seeing
how little a man can live on Is not the
one for this progressive age. It Is far
bettor for one lo strive to so enlarge his
earning powers and to so Increase his
value to Ids follows that his services
to the world will bring him the largest
returns possible. Instead of discuss.ng
the < iuostlon of how little a man can
get along with It Is bettor to tliink of
how much a fnaii can get along with.
A man by the name of Hayes has
seriously started a League of l.ove. lie
wants to put more romance Into the
world and make love marriages preval
ent. He has made many speeches.
started a magazine , and is organlxlng
Love Societies. If Mr. Hayes will per
fect a system that will keep people as
Irresponsible as. blue birds from mating ;
If ho will teach the rising generation
that the first smile on a sweei face and
an answering throb In"a. . young but
manly heart Isn't love , but admiration ,
he may do humanity some good. Mr.
Hayes rages against divorce , and talks
about the perfect life and the perfect
love. They are good things. They
should ho < the foundation of every
homo. The natural life association of
a man and a woman Is founded on
I.ovo and antedates the marrlgo cere
mony and the divorce court. Hasty
marriages , the wedding of people who
Know little of each other , are general-
l\ romantic and not practical. Tin
-Hiig man may look like a tired ; god ,
or wbat In Imagination serves for a
( ireed god : the girl may be sweet as a
June rose. It's natural for them to
care for each other. The young follow
feels that he could conquer worlds for
her sake. Mr. llayos would hustle that
couple lo the nearest parson and beau
on the pair when a marriage of love
had lieon made. I'nfi i innately , a gooi

of responsibility lhan Mr. Hayes. I.t1
the young man conquer a few of ( host
worlds , Ho has a Mont heart and gout
muscles. What Is worth having Is
worth waiting for. Has bi > saved any
money ? That Is a sordid ( iiiosilon.
Ho'Jl wonder why It didn't occur lo lain
when ho marries and has to buy some
thing every day for a year. And meanwhile -
while the girl who Is to marry may
learn that with waiting comes knowl
edge of how to make the homo for two
beautiful. If she Is the right kind of
a girl she will want to loam. And one :
day they will wed , Tliero'll be a little
home ready and the woman that enters
It for life will be prepared to make H
a real homo and not a stopping place.

A MAN'S RIGHTS AT HOME.
IIE accounts contained In the
dally papers of a man lu New
Jersey who has separated from
his wife , and left her , because be had
no privacy In bin own home , Is enough
to cause consternation among the mar
ried women throughout the length and
breadth of the land. It looks us 1C the
worm were going to turn at last , and
the poor , down-trodden American man
was beginning to realize that ho has
rights In the home which even his wlfo
Is bound to recognize.
This Is a brand-new Idea. Heretofore
It has been assumed tacitly , at least ,
In this country , that woman was the
whole thine In the home , and that a
man merely existed lu the bumble role
of bill-payer. Every man has , at times ,
dreams of possessing a room exclusive
ly his own lu his own house , where
he may spill ashes on the carpet and
leave books on the lloor , and put his
feet on the sofa" cushions and other
wise enjoy himself after his own Ideas ,
Instead of In accordance with his
wife's. Alas , It Is merely a pipe vis-
lou. lie may lit him up a den or n
snuggery , or whatever be chooses to
call it , > but bis wlfo Inevitably lluds It
just the place for her Hewing machine ,
or that It has a sunny window that
suits the baby , or Is a good situation
for her writing desL- , , and before he
knows It the man to ousted. No man
lias any rights lu his own house that
anybody feels ought to be respected.
, So far as the management of the
home Is concerned the average man ,
In the average family , Is also an un-
consulled figure-head. In other coun

Why Girl * Cniuint Throw.
A great deal of fun is poked at girls
because they cannot throw a stone or a
snowball and bit the person or thing
they are aiming at. The general Idea
HP to why girls cannot throw as well
as boys 1- , that they have not acquired
the knack by practice as tliolr broth
ers have. Another explanation is giv
en by a medical man which tends to
Show that girls could never lonrn the
knack , however much they tried. When
a boy throws a stone , lie crooks Irjs el
bow and roaches back with his fore
arm , and in the act of throwing he
works every , Joint from .shoulder to' '
wrist. The- girl throws with her whole
arm rigid , whereas the boy's arm is ;
relaxed. '
The reason of this difference Is one-
of anatomy. The feminine collar bone
is longer and Is set lower ( ban In the
case of a male. The long , crooked ,
awkward bone interferes with the free
use of the arm. This is the reason that
girls cannot throw well.

are all very well , but they do not make
up n good husband , though they do-
very well for n tailor's dummy. Integ
rity of character Is more Important
than all these. Exchange.
Itivndcloths are still used for shlrff

What home dressmaker hasn't wor T
ried herself almost iuto nervous pros- '
( ration over setting the sleeves Into o-

twisted all out of shape when laborious

the wearer would have to turn herself
Into a human corkscrew to get Into it.

Sure avoidance comes from follow
ing Hits simple rule : Place the Inside

distance depends on the size of the-
wearer of the bodice , aul as ( he di
