"Neither do men tell women the truth," said the woman with the willow plumes. "Thank God for all His mercy." m- o u 1 y ejaculated the woman In safe jrreen. "Heaven de- Ifend that I should lever , know any man' 4 real opinion lot me!-' I' "None of us could survive ' knowliuT Iwhst our dearest friends said of us be 'bind bur backs," aree the woman in I blue. - Truth dwells at the bottom of a well,' ianottd the woman In fray, "and for my iMrt I am willing to leave It there.' Men end women never speak the truth Ito each other unless hey are married and 'entry,'' commented the woman with the Iwlllow plumes, 'nd then it leaas a 'Keno." ', "it MurtshlD were conducted on a plat- .form of strict veracity there Would be no Ln mariians." said the woman in safe treetL "When Alferton wooes Ad lellna be swears to her that sha Is, a per ,ft antral and the most beautiful and Ifaecinatlaf creature on earth, and that It ... him they will dwell ln a L.niiid heaven of romance, there they will trill and coo like two turtle doves, snd there will never be a singe tbtag to mar their bliss. "Of course. Algernon knows that all of this Is hot air. and that be Is a Tesruiar Ananias, who ought to be arrested for perjury for handlnf It out to her. He Is perfectly aware that Adeline Is no Hvlnf picture, and that she's fot plenty of tem per and fussy little ways, and that when they get married they won't live ln a caitle of dreams, but In a 1x4 Oat. and he .lu knows that they'll nave plenty 01 end that he's A lot more In tonated ln the grocery trade than be Is In sentiment and romance. Adeline, like vise knows all of this, but suppose in stead of bis anveradous love talk Alger non shell d tell her the plain, unadorned facts la the case. "gutmoM be should say: 'Adeline, yoa lars'shy on looks, but I'm not particu larly struck on beauty, and you're strong 'and healthy and likely to make one of the wires that keep a man always paying 'doctor's Mils. Tou'ye got a' temper that's set ' on a hair trigger, but I've got a 'hunch that I'm ths man that can control It, and. anyway, you've made a hit 'with me and I want to marry you. -1 dent get a salary sa big that I have to bring my pay envelope home lis a taxi on Baturdsy night, and If you tie op with me we'll live In a Harlem i flat, and you'll nave to do your own kousework. and fight with the butcher lvr the meat bill, and make over your eld etatbesL No doabt well have many s ran la wbea we disagree tbat will make the people oa the other side of the well think abort calling for tha police, but I lot yoa, and I'm wftlicg to work to j prove It. and along with the lean of mat rimony we'll get a wt of the tat.' "Now that Is Just about what a pho tograph of matrimony from real life Is. but would Adeline say "year to Algernon If he proposed In such fashion T' "No, a thousand times no," replied the woman with the willow plumes, "there fen't a woman living who Is so poor a creature as to accept A man who pro posed la such a fashion." "But be would be telling ber only the truth," urged the woman In sage green. That's what's the matter with It" ex claimed the woman with the willow plumes. "None of ns have the courage to face the truth of marriage. If we really knew beforehand what It was going to be none but the foolhardy would under take It." "Well." said the woman In blue. "It It risky to tell the truth before marriage, it Is simply suicidal to speak It after ward. "There Isn't one marriage In a thousand but would stand the add testa t tha husband knowing Just how he looked to ale wife, or the wife realising Just what the husband thought of ber. A wife Imagines that she is always a nde to ber husband, and a man fondly believes be le slwaya a hero to bis wife, land so the domestic circle remains la- "Suppose, however, some morning John should look serosa the breakfast table and speak out the thought that Is In his xatad. He weald say: "Geew bat yea are a grbsded.. fat, boznery old socu, and I Vllea yea get sll&er and stnisr every , day of your Ufa. Tou look like a feather bed tied In tha middle, end your con versation tHks the clacking of an old hen. I wonder what on earth I ssw ln you to msks me pick you out, and what the fool killer waa doing the day we were married? "And Mrs. John, as ahs passes him hi coffee Is thinking) 'My, but you're get ting bald and stout, and I don't believe you think of a thing from morning to night except your old store, and whst you put In your stomach. My goodness, It I'd hsd any idea of how fussy and close fisted and cantakerous you were going to be, I'd never have married you In the world. I don't know how I Kiould have gotten along with you If you hadn't been so Immortally vain and conceited that all I had to do to work you was Just to pile -on enough flattery.' Of course neither one of them speaka the truth and says anything Ilka this, but that's what they really think" "Horrible!" ahuddered the woman in grey. "I wonder what my husband thinks of mef "If you want to stay married to him, doht try to find oat," counselled the woman In sage green. "Thet'e right." agreed the woman with the wtllow plumes, "there's no place In matrimony for truth."

It doesn't always work that little proverb tut given a special kind of maid and man you'll get a great mix-up when you follow the right retripe. Take a little girl named "Peaches," who need3 silk stockings and a new frock every week-end if she's, going to keep on living, who goes to Fifth avenue for her extra hair and gets a new lot every three months ; who likes.to summer on a beach approved by the iVench madame "La Mode" in a perfectly dry bathing suit; who winters in Russian sable and a touring car; who can't even take a tuck in her petty skirt, and glories in it; take-a chap with an appetite for good things to eat, and soft things to wear, with nose and eyes that are easily offended when things kwk ilmt last little I polish that whisiiers, "I'm the n?ht thing i cost gooti, greeu money"; with a palate for good cigarettes and a heart for fast driving; with a love of good Bervice and shining silver, and s hand that slips easily in and out of his pockets; and then over this pretty mixture spread a thin layer of affection. Let it sit awhile, just long enough for poor little Love to get acquainted with the house and imagine that maybe he's go ing to get to stay then put in the wolf and the whole thing will go up in thin smoke, and vanish in thin air as quickly as ycu could pinch up your mouth and say,"Piff.y And Love "will take one look at the fast melting layer bf affection and do. a "Mutt and Jeff" out of the window.

Ho found the academlo organisation a Cobymbla unsatisfactory and declined tha proffered appointment. Now the Hodal Centre movement Is ths sort of thing this first-rats engineer waa contending for. It stands for tha Idea that a public school an Institution ot publlo education ehould be a rally ing ground for the kind of politico thst i Is first of all public-spirited and that weighs and Judges all private rights from ths point ot view of the common wealth. People sometimes spesk of the Amer ican public school as If Its main Interest were to equip Individuals to fight for their private fortunee-a if Its highest slm were to give poor children an equal fighting chance against rich children. But, of course, this Is a false and foolish notion. 1 Ths publlo school stsnds rather for the principle that all knowledge le the com mon heritage of the race. All tha good wafa of doing things, tbat make up the um of the arts and sciences, are tha common property of the people. Nobody should be permitted to sslss upon them and carry them away aa a prise. But svsrybody should be so equipped by pub Ms teaching that be may be able to de fend the common right against all egotists aad monopolists, and may know , how to make bla own private fortune In some manner that Shall ba helpful to , the publlo fortune. The failure of what Is called "practical polltica" la due to tha fact that It looks st svsry publlo question from tha point of view of some. privets Interest. It wastes the people's eotate, partly be cause of corruption and cynicism, but mainly beoauee It etupldly refuses to un derstand that the people's eetate la real , and tangible, and that It la practically poselblle to defend and axtsnd 1L New the publlo school under tha re-. vlvlng touch of the Social Centre Move- .
