Do Not Marry Unless it is With the Idea of

Permanency — It is Better to Stay Single . Than to Face the Heartbreak of Divorce

r The reason that there is such an appalling increase ln the number of ause young people do not marry for keeps nowadays. They Io not regard marriage as the most binding and lasting contract that a.

divomfls is

human being can make. They look upon it lks a romantic adventure upon which one continues i! the path is flower strewn. but from which one turns back if it proves a rocky road to travel.

Nothing is commoner than to hear a girl or '

boy say; "Oih, I'll try marriage once, anyway, You - don't. have to stick to it if you don't like it.’ And they don't stick to it if they don't like it. They wreck their homes with as little compunction us a. child knocks down the house of cards it has built. They rush to the divorce court because they do not. find each other as glamorous as husbands and wives as they were as sweetharts; because they can't. go to as many night clubs; because they can't afford the fine clothes and amusements they were= accustomed to; because they don't like dishwashing ~ and pushing a perambulamr; because they find domesticity dull and bor-

ing; because marriage limits their freedom and cramps their style.

Now marriage has always had every one of these drawbacks. It has always had its disillusions. No marriage has ever come up to expectations Jzecause husbands and wives are just mcii and women with their inevi- table faults and shortcomings and not the pin-fealhered angels and noble heroes they appear during courtship. Marriage has always been full of work and sacrifices. Marriage has always had more duties than thrills in it.

But our forefathers never thought of such a thing as breaking 11D their marriages because they did not turn out to be all their fondcst fancy painted. It never occurred to them that they could welqh on their matrimonial bargains because they had got tired of them and thought that, after all, they would prefer being bachelors, or follow a career to being married. Nor did it enter their minds that they could discard their husband or wife because they saw some one who looked better to them than their present spouse. Ifhey had signed a life contract for better or worse and they did not break it except for the gravest of rea-

JOBS. Therefore. there were few divorces,

The present generation however. does not look upon marriage in this 1 l

light. It regards the "until death do us part" vow as old stuff, as arch- aioas an ox wagon. It marries with one eye on the altar and the other Bye on the divorce court and the thought in the back of its head that it will stay married only as long as everything is O. K.

Of course, it hopes it is going to find it pleasant and agreeable, as we lllhope we are going to like our new clothes or our new automobiles. But if it doesn't come up to what it was press-agented to be, out it goes into the discard.

And this is why so many marriages are failures, as anything else would be a failure that you went into in that spirit, trusting u) luck and not to your own effort and determination to make a success. No general ever won a. victory who mmmenced his campaign with the intention of running up the white flag if the enemy put up any fight. No professional or business man ever achieved fame and fortune who began his career with the thought that he would "chuck everything if he encountered any difficulties.

On the contrary. those who succeed in any line of endeavor are the men and women who have determined 1o make a go of what they have undertaken and to let nothing discourage them and no difficulty appal them. whey have set themselves to fight, through to victory. no matter how long and hard the battle. They know that in the beginning there will be many drawbacks, many disappointments and disilluslons, but they Steel themselves to endure them and s0, at last, they wrest victory out 01

e eat.

Many a lnwyer and doctor who rise to the headof their profession almost starved waiting for their first client; and patients. Many a busi- ness that was on the verge of bankruptcy makes the man who had the patience to nurse it along a millionaire. But the man who gives up when the sledding gets hard is always sunk.

Ii. is ‘because people do not g0 into marriage with this do or die spirit that there are so many divorces. They do not say: This is my lifework. This is the job I have chosen for myself. This man or woman is the one Whflm I Dlcked out from all the world for a wife or husband and I am going to make a success of my marriage despite every obstacle, every dis- couragement.

N0, they go into marriage half licked already because they are think- ing that they will rive it no if it doesn't come up m their romantic dreams. B0 when wife loses her locks or can't make pie like mother, husband gets bitter and disgruntled and knocks all the underpinnings out of a. happy home. And when wife can't have all the money she wants she puts on her hat and starts for Reno. .

They 118W!"- 1119 Brit t0 trike it. and to make a succes of marriage you've got to take it, and like it. DOROTHY DIX.

The Murder at Hazelmoor

By AGATHA CHRISTIE

Emily was silent for a minute. She was congratulating herself on the way events were playing into her hand. Here was first-hand knowledge being offered her of life as it had been lived at Sfttaford. "Angle of attack." Emily repea the phrase that had crept into bar mind so short a. time before. She had had Major Burnaby! angle ‘—- matter of fact-simple-dlrect. Tak- ing cognizance of facts and com- pletely oblivious of subletles. Now, she was being oflered another angle which she suspected might open up a very different field of vision.

"Please help me." she said simply. "I am so very worried and un- happy."

"You must be, my dear, you must be. Now, as I understand the posi- tlon, Trevelyans eldest nephew has been arrested or detained-the evi- dence against him being of a some- what. simple and obvious nature. I, of course, have an open mind.

"Of course," said Emily. "Why should you believe in his innocence when you know nothing about him?"

‘IOUCHINGI APPRECIATION

"My boy," said the millionaire. lecturing his son on the importance of economy, "when I was your ac? o

young Jim had a pressing need of money, that he came down to see

- his uncle, that he asked for money,

that his uncle refused, that in a moment ofpasslon he picked up a sandbag that was lying at the door and that he hit his uncle over the head. The crime was unpremeditat) ed—was in fact a. foolish irrational affair most deplorably conducted. Now, all that may be so, on the other hand he may have parted with his uncle in anger and some other person may have stepped in shortly afterwards and committed the crime, That is what you believe _and to put it a little differently, that is what. I hope. I do not want your fiance to have committed the crime, for from my point of view it is so uninteresting that he =|hould have done so. I am therefore back- ing the other horse. The crime was committed by someone else. We will assume that and go at. once to a most important point. Was that someone else. aware of the quarrel that had just taken place? Did that quarrel in fact, actually precl- pitate the murder? You see my point? Someone is meditating doing away with Captain Trevelyan and seizes this opportunity, realizing that suspicion is bound to fall 'on young Jim."

Emily considered the matter from this angle.

“In that case." she said slowly-

Mr. Rycroft took the words out of

her mouth. "In that case," he said briskly, “the murderer would have to be a person in close" association with Captain Trevelyan. He would have to be domiciled in Exhampton. In all probability he would have to be in the house, either during or after the quarrel. And since we are not in a. court of law and can handy "about names freely. the name of the ser- vant, Evans, leaps to our minds as a person who could satisfy our con- ditions. A man who quite possibly might have been in the house. Have overhead the quarrel and seiz- ed the opportunity. Our next point is to discover whether Evans bene- flts in any way from his master's death."

"I believe he gets a small legacy," said Emily.

“That may or may not constitute a aufliclent. motive. We shall have to discover whether or riot Evans had a pressing need of money. We must also consider Mrs. Evans- there is a Mrs. Evans of recent date I understand. If you had studied criminology. Miss Trefusis, you would realize the curious effect caused by inbreeding, especially in oountry districts. There are at lenst four young women in Broadmoor, pleasant in manner, but with that curious kink in iihelr dispositions that human life is of little or no ac- count to them. No—-we must not. leave Mrs. Evans out of account."

CHAPTER 15

"What do you think about this table- turning business, Mr. Ry- croft?" asked Emily.

“Now. that is very strange. Most strange. I confess, Miss Trefusil. that. I am powerfully impressed by ft. I am, as perhaps you may have heard, a believer in l15ychlc things. To a certain degree I am a believer in spiritualism. I have already writ- ten out a full account and sent it up to the Society of Physical Re- search. A well authenticated and amaalng case. Five people present, none of whom could have the least idea or suspicion that Captain Trev- elynan was murdered."

"You don't think " Emily stopped. It was not so easy to suggest her own idea to Mr.

Rycroft that one of the five people plight. have guilty fore-knowledge. u he himself had bean of them. Bhe pureed her object in a more roundabout manner.

"It all infatuated me very much, Mr. Ryoroft; it is, la you any, an amaz- ing occurrence. You don't think ,any of the people present. with the ax- coption of yourself o! course, were in any way Plvtthic?"

"My dear young lady, I myself am not paychic. I have no powers _fn that direction. I am only a very deeply intorelted oblervor."

"What about this Mr. Camelot?"

"A nice lad." said Mr. R1010". "but not remarkable in any way."
