remlnd Mrs. Parsons and the blshnpa who
feel agitated about her book that we nl-
iPtdy have the matter of trial marriages
well provided for, but we call It betrothal.
"Perhaps people are not quite careful

aupposod to mean to the betrothed pair.
"The Hebrews put up a tent and leave
tha lovers alona in it. The Brahmin looka
over his new wife and If pleased makes
her a mother, but if he thinks her unfit
she remains In his house as a servant. He
certainly has room to exercise his Intelll-
Bnce. Under the Jewish law the woman
also made her choice before marriage.
I WISH our gins ana boys migni an n-
come acquainted with themselves and with
the great, clean, orderly world In which
we live, and the period of betrothal seems
the sweetest time for such learning. In
life, in savagery. In civilisation, in divine
economy, the wedding ring is the unalter
able limit between the state of single bles
sedness and the state of matrimony.
i-But plighted troth is a fact If it has
taken place and not an announcement.
Tha beautiful woman who died of a broken
heart in New York recently because the
new law of the state made her marriage
Illegal failed to realize what George Kliot
stood for so stoutly that law cannot le
galise, but only declare the legality of a
procedure. Similarly the church .cannot
sanctify: It only acknowledges the sanctity
of a heart relation which must already
exist or seem to exist.
"Rudyard Kipling's 'Jungle Book' takes
up this problem, among others, for the
-whole book is a poetic study of the laws
back of civilisation where Mowgli and his
bride of a night, sitting in the tree top,
discuss the new era of their united life.
The trial marriage Is over and both these
children realise that marriage from now
on Is Inevitable and permanent.
"Civilisation goes one step further. It
places the question of the maid In the
mouth of an authorlted representative of
society, a magistrate or a minister, and
that we may have greater aecurlty against
fraud and treachery we require first that
the mail answer the question and execute
to the prospective mother the deed of all
his wordly goods.
"It seems to most of us that we are not
ready to let this safeguard slip by us. When
wa are ready there will be no more opposi
tion to the pcrmunency of marriage. It
will be a matter of course, like the law
against murder."

Disposed of Her Past.
N , , woman, not afraid of
her decided to celebrate her 45th birth-
day with a party. There were the usual
attractions of such an occasion, when mem-
bers of the ramily and Intimate friends V-
semble. and the piece de resistance was the
birthday cake, with Its elaborate overlay of
carved Icing and the figures symbolic of
the net'fl.lnn tn DltiU In the p.ntr. All went
merry aa a marriage bell. The cake was
the center of admiration, and to none more
so than the littlest guest, a boy of 4, who
f(und ,he pink nunier,g trresistible. and
when the eyes of the company were turned
the Other way filched them off and popped
them Into his mouth. There was slight
consternation when the mutilation of the
centerpiece, was discovered, but the cul
prit's big brother said, "Never mind; Its
not so bad after all, for It disposes of Aunt
Sallle s past." Aunt Bailie had nothing to
say.
Home Only a Part.
'The divorced wife, the untrue wife,
the nagglnrr scold, the household drudge,
the indifferent mediocrity of the average
housewife, result from the fact that wo
men do not appreciate the impossibility
of centering their entire existence in the
husband to the exclusion of every other
Interest," is the assertion made by Mrs.
A. Netterfleld, who is organizing a social
istic campaign among the women of 8t.
Louis.
"It Is not to the women of any partic
ular class or condition that I appeal,"
said Mrs. Netterfleld,' quoted by the Kt.
Louis Republic. "The women who largely
make up the socialist class are the hard
est to arouse to a sense of their condi-
tion.
Mrs. Netterfleld's remedy for the current
evils of women's existence Is that they
have other Interests than those of yie
home and the husband. She declares that
the home Is necessary, ar.d, therefore,
should be kept, but denies that It should
take up the entire thought and capacity
of the woman's life.
Taking it from the husbund's stand-
point, Mrs. Netterfleld asserts that from
personal experience she has found that
the more Independence and brain a wo
man has the better able she Is to interest
and keep the companionship of a man,
not the companionship of administering
to his material desires, but the compan
ionship of intellect
Asked how socialism would ameliorate
the present condition of women, Mrs. Net-
terfietd said:
"There are certain Qualities peculiar to

right direction, would ulaoe her on a Ded-
estal of power and influence.
"Intuition, perception, patience in detail,
tact, and, above all, the Inimitable power
of her sex are some of the things that
would establtali her aa political dictator,
and aa audi ahe would have the power to
better, not only herself, but her neighbor
aa well. The beginning of tills triumph
ant campaign must be In the equality of
aexes."
Keeping "n rrrVt.
Contrary to the views of the average
woman or girl. Miss Louise Haffner and
Miss Caroline Haffner, sisters, of Coatea
vlllc. Pu de "lare emphatically that it la
the easiest thing in t lie world for a
woman to keep a secret no matter how
great or small that secret may be.
The Haffner girls are sisters of ilrs.
Charles Sumner Fisher, whose elopement
and marriage in New York last March
caused unite a stir in Coutesville when it
a announced recently.
Mrs. Fisher, who was Miss Pauline K.
Ilafi'iier, told her pratty sisters that she
was marriea ins oay alter the r-criinony
was performed and she admonished the
giiis to keep It, aecret. They guarded her
secret xralously.
"How can a woman keep a se ret?" Misa
Louise Haffner was asked.
"Very easily." she replied. "Just keep
your mouth closed and never tell any
person about what you have ueen told.
Then you can keep a secret aa long aa
you please. If any parson wanta informa
tion on tha aubject Just tell them that
you have nothing to aay."
Mlaa Carolina Haffner haa a much sim
pler method for keeping a aecret which
women can use aa a formula.
"Forget that you ever knaw it," alia
gave aa her recelpe.

Now that rldneatone Jewelry Is being
worn extensively by women, the trick of
hoping the atones bright and clean

something everyone wauts to learn, for

they are inexpensive and duplicate the
most exclusive designs, they lose their value
immediately when the luster is gone.
'Cleaning rhlnestones Is almost as dilll
cult a tusk to do at home ns freshening
pearls,'" says an expert Jeweler, "for once
these Imitation diamonds begin to turn
black there is nothing that can be done
to bring back their brilliancy. Preventing
them from becoming dull is, however, quite
possible. If, aa is often the case, the sil
ver ln which they are set begins to tarnish,
that discoloration may be removed, with
a vigorous scrubbing in lukewarm water
with suds from castile or any other pure
toilet soap and a stiff brush. Care should
be taken that the water is not too hot
or It may soften the cement around the
stonos.

before Immersing the pieces. Let them

Is only possible where the rhlnestones are
set In silver, platinum or gold, for when
the stones are not entirely surrounded by
some metal the only way they can be
cleaned Is by careful brushing with a soft,
dry camel's hair brush.
"It Is because many women do not un
derstand how rhinestoncs are set that re
sults in the ruin of them In the average
attempts at cleaning. For if they knew
that the majority of these imitation dia
monds are nothing but pieces of glass,
really softer and easier to scratch tlian
ordinary window panes, and that their
brilliancy is obtained by the tips of lead
or aluminium in which they are set, the
idea of washing these stones unless tiny
are set In a metal would no longer exist.
For they would realise that scrubbing anil
liquids even water will loosen the tips

those set in silver or any other metal Is
to scrub them with prepared chalk and a

"With the tipped stones that are in
raitwd settings the only successful way of
cleaning is by careful brushing with a soft
brush, and this should be done after each

around into the foil or aluminium."
