There Are Times When
Money Doesn't Do All

The other day a mother with two
grown daughters told me some
thing of the family history.
"My older daughter seems con

very little money, but for some rea-

son they don't seem to mind. 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

Khaki Proved Successful
Mrs. A. C Kase Approves of
Sensible Dress for Sum-
Trips.

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

whatever she does either is the style

had a hankering to play a Spanish
senorita, and in her latest picture
she plays not only the senorita, but
the senorita's mother and grand
mother. We shall have Elsie in

Garden of Eden Discovered
"And the Lord God planted a
garden to the eastward of Eden.
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

Clean Oriental Rugs.
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.
