They say they have happy times together, and I suppose they get used to do ing without things. "But my younger daughter,"' she went on, with evident satisfaction, "married well. Her husband is an automobile manufacturer, and he can give her anything she wants. She hasn't any children, but she has every conceivable luxury. No, she hasn't ever told me she is happy, but of course she must be." Ever so many young girls, I find, even in this emancipated day, still cherish and ancient notion of "marrying well" that this mother expressed. And who can blame them, when their mothers so care fully inculcate it, when it's a part of the very air they breathe from their earliest infancy? We all know, of course, what it means to "marry well." It means to marry a man with money. And that is, of course, rather shocking, when it's stated plainly. Why should a mother be proud of a daughter merely because she has happened to attract a rich man, no matter what that rich man may be? Why should a mother apolo gize for a daughter whose husband is poor, even though through him the girl has found love and con tentnement? We all understand, of course, how the idea of "marrying well" came into vogue. There was a day, and your grandmother can remember it, when there was no question of a girl's supporting herself. Still, she had to be supported by somebody. And especially if there were several of her, this had a way of exhausting the parental purse. So parents cultivated foresight They formed the habit of looking about for young men who could support their daughters. They were perfectly conscientious about it. It seemed the best service they could render their ( off sprirfg this marry ing them off to somebody who could guarantee a comfortable permanent income. ' . This system rather fell to pieces, of course, as soon as girls learned how- to support themselves, and to control their own lives. Sensible girls no longer married because they wanted "a home of their own," or because a young man's f "prospects"- were such-and-$uch, but be cause they fell in love and desired the happiness of a life comrade. But even though times have so radically changed, even though women- are immeasurably freer than they used to be, there are still parents .who repeat the outworn formula, and who subtly and indi rectly, or perhaps even openly, en courage a girl to make a mercenary choice. They teach, her that if she is once "well established" she can command ' wordly respect, she can achieve social . power, she can not only . "have" everything, but "get" anywhere., . . I am afraid that some of the girls who write ; to me have heard this sort t)f teaching. . So I should like to convince them that it's extremely old-fashioned, entirely out-of-date," the most bar barous sort of survival. A . girl who falls in love with a normal, wholesome young man who loves her and who shares her tastes to a sufficient extent "marries well," if she becomes his wife. Truly, I don't know what else she need consider. -. If a married pair achieve happiness the possession of money will scarce ly affect then contentment, one way or the other. And if they are not Jiappy, everybody knows that money won't make them so. Money, then, ought to be the last thing considered, rather than the first, in choosing one's life-partner. Do you really enjoy being with the young man who wants to marry your Can you have a thoroughly good time together, even though you should never go to play or a restaurant or a party? Do you both like outdoor walks and do you laugh at the same things, and do you like some, at least, of the same books? If you do, you are pretty safe in marrying, even though he hasn't had a "raise" for a year and you know you will have to begin house keeping in two rooms. I should also advise . any young girl in whom I was personally in terested not to marry a man who was unsympathetic toward the emancipation of women, or who j didn't like children. I Try to form the habit of valuing the really essential things in life, and you'll be more likely to make the right choice when it comes to a question of marriage? Realize, if you can, that it doesn't make the slightest difference, whether your bethrothed is taller or shorter than you, or whether he is older or younger or whether he is ugly or handsome, or (from my point of view, at least) whether he is of a different nationality. These are all trivial points, and I am surprised that so many girls seem concerned about them. But, is he a person who can be a real companion, a person with whom you can hand-in-hand, under standing dare the adventure of life? If you're both strong and well, this is all you need consider. Suppose his salary proves to be not quite enough. Won't you be willing to help out? : Have I seemed to imply that pov erty is the inseparable companion of happiness? That isn't true, of course. It's quite, possible to have a high wage-earning capacity and still know what love is. But I've been eager, to urge young girls not to be afraid of simplicity, frugality, plain living. I've been eager to em phasire.the fact that money won't buy happiness. And don't be so mad as to imagine that happiness is a thing you can do without Don't then do your best to achieve it Remember what it really means, from the 'wise, big-hearted woman's point of view, to "marry well." And dream Vthat an unhappy marriage is tolerable if one has diamonds and motpr cars. It isn't ' ' Khaki Proved Successful Mrs. A. C Kase Approves of Sensible Dress for Sum- Trips. mer Dress reform the critics cry to delight their hearts we present Mrs. A. C. Kase, all khaki-ed and equipped for a tramp around the world if need be. Mrs. Kase it the first Omaha woman to posess one of these sensible outfits and she recently wore At on a motor trip to Mexico, Mo. The party included Mr. and Mrs. Frank Rouse and daughters, Doro thy and Alice and Miss Ruth Rouse. Those who wore the un usual ferhinine attire really felt that they resembled the proverbial rag and a bone and a hank of hair when they reached their journey's end, for the long trip had quite spoiled the daintiness and crispness of blouse and skirt. Mrs. Kase, how ever, looked just as trim in her uniform with smart corduroy hat as when she started, and she had no laundry worries on the way. The suit is almost like a soldier's uniform and a pongee blouse -was worn under the coat. It is loose and comfortable and with high laced shoes one may tramp through the woods and fields with no fear of torn skirts or draperies. The suit was sent from Los Angeles to Mrs. Kase by her sister, Mrs. E. M. Schrader. The yare quite the vogue on the coast and California girls do not consider their wardrobe complete unless it includes a hiking costume of khaki. "I am sure more women would wear them if they could just try them once," said Mrs. Kase, "there Sqnorita; Elsie Ferguson Spain hasn't produced much ex cept influenza since the Armada was defeated, but it is coming back into style.

And a fiver went out of Eden to water the garden; and it was parted into four heads." Sir William Genesio Willcocks, who, in behalf of the British' gov ernment, had had charg of the won derful irrigation works in Egypt, was assigned not long ago to the duty of planning a similar large scale enterprise for the, restoration of ancient Babylonia to its former agricultural productiveness. Thus it happened that he located to the reasonable satisfaction of archaeologists, the veritable sight of' the Garden of Eden, .according to the Philadelphia "Public Led ger." For reasons wholly practical, he thought that the best way to be gin. 1 1 Starting from the spot where Jewish tradition placed the gates of paradise the word paradise mean ing "garden' he followed the traces of the four streams men tioned in Genesis, which, as therein named, were the Pison, the Gihon, the Hiddekel and the Euphrates. The Euhrates, kpnown by that name to day, flowed through the great city of Babylon. The Gihon is now called the Hindia. The Hid dekel is the modern Sakhawia, which flows into the Tigris at Bag dad.

The Euphrates enters its delta a few miles below Hit there leaving the desert and debouching into a vast alluvial plain. In this depart ure it has considerable fall, with a number of cataracts, and along a narrow valley giant water wheels lift water to irrigate the land on both sides of the stream. The entrance to this valley (according to Jewish tradition) was the gate of the paradisa in which Adam and Eve dwelt, and from which they were expelled for dis obeying a divine command. There the traveler first meets the date palm, wich is a "tree of life" (see Genesis) to the whole Arab world.

It is quite possible to clean Ori ental rugs to excellent advantage at home, because they are dyed with vegetable dyes and will go through soap and water excellently. Of course, the best white soap must be used, and you must not go about your work as if you were scouring an iron kettle. If possible have a perfectly clean kitchen table to work on. First have the rug as free from dust as possible. A vacuum cleaner is best t'o- this. Then place the rug on the' table, section by sectt'on, and care fully soak each section and rub it thoroughly .with castile or other white soap lather. An old finger nail brush is as heavy a brush as you should use. After you have soaped each sec tion rinse it carefully in warm water and then proceed to the next section. Do not dip the whole nig in water at once and do not crease it while wet. The drying is not easy, for it takes consideraDle time and space. If possible, place the rug on a perfectly clean dry floor. It should be light, and airy, but not in the direct sunshine. Do not put the rugs away ti'i thoroughly dry. If you send your Oriental rugs to a cleaner, be sure that you can trust him. There are many vhom you can to the ore whom you can not, and it is net difficult to find a trustworthy place.
