EVENING LEDGER PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, OCTOBER
SNUBS FOR SOCIETY
"FOR PROMOTION" OF
LITTLE BLIND GOD
"Hands Oif!"Says Mr.
Pcnnypacker to the Bureau
to Encourage the Happiness
of Families.
Marriages, all the good books say, ore
made In heaven, but If a certain asso
ciation which Is npplylng for articles of
Incorporation to the Supremo Court In New
York and which. If It gets them, expects
to establish branch bureaus In Philadel
phia and other large cities, has Its way,
It's going to be permitted to keep its
eye on this business of the celestial king
dom to sec that every one goes nil right.
Of course marriages may continue to
be made In the same plate, but the suc
cessful outcome of them Is, hereafter,
going to be looked after by this associa
tion, which calls Itself the Society for
the Promotion of Family Happiness.
Of what avail Is It, asks this organiza
tion, to havo your husband's life Insured,
or his health or his safety, If you leavo
out the most important thing of all and
do not secure a premium on his affec
tions? Has tho first blush of romnnce been
brushed from your wedded bliss? Have
your husband's "detnlned-at-thc-omce"
messages become suspiciously frequent?
Arc the Saturday night votive offerings
the llowers nnd the candy no longer
forthcoming? Docs tho pnlc blue blouse
which used to bring forth extravngnnt
encomiums every time you wore it no
longer elicit compliment or even com
ment? In short, do you feel that your love
ship has gone the least bit astray and
would you lllcc to prevent the founder
ing? Then consult the Society for the
Promotion of Family Happiness, which
Is headed by no less a personage than
Judge Mayer, of tho United States Court.
In the language of the vernacular, the
society's the doitorl
MR. PENNVPACKER SNUBS IT.
In an endeavor to llnd out Just how
badly such an association was needtd In
this city of Brotherly Love (and the other
kind, too), a reporter went to Samuel W.
Pcnnypacker, who, from the wealth of
experlenco which he must havo gained
on the bench, at the bar and In the KUber
natlonal chair, is considered un authority
on all these matters.
The former Governor and ardent advo
cate of reform divorce laws, though Im
mersed In the accumulation of several
days' work, stopped to express his dis
approval of such an organization.
He stuck his eye glasses on vigorously,
frowned across the top of them, and then
rapped out starply:
"Tut, tut, thero aro some things that
It Is best for outsiders to let alone nnd
the love affairs of a man and a woman
13 one of them."
And because he really was provoked at
the thought of a cold-blooded association
during to Interfere with a matter that Is
the express business of a certain little
blind boy who wearo wings and not much
else, he would not say another word.
Judge Patterson, on the contrary,
though he agreed with Mr. Pcnnypacker
that the less outside Interference the
home 1 afflicted with the happier It will
be, was pleased to put forth some epi
grams anent the Idea of tho newly pro
posed Society for the Promotion of Family
Happiness, and after thinking a minute
or two, he spoke:
JUDGE PATTERSON'S EPIGRAMS.
"The best sort of love Insurance that
any man nnd woman can take out Is n
large family. This will keep them so
busy that there will be no tlmo left for
marital disagreements or for cults. Cults
are a great detriment to conjugal felicity.
"A prospective husband should think
twice before he speaks tho words that
will bind him, and th prospective wife
should think at least three times before
the answers
"A man should be Industrious, kind,
forbearing nnd willing to give way to
his wife when reason demands. He should
also turn over a good portion of his
earnings to her.
"A woman, no matter what her station
In life, and no matter how many maids
she can afford to keep, should glvo the
running of her menage her personal at
tention. No wife is rich enough to be
able to afford to neglect this.
"And. llnally, lawyers would serve the
community better If thev expended more
of their energies on bringing dissenting
couples together lnbtead of pushing
divorces."
Once upon a time, a long while ago, a
body of men applied for articles of Incor
poration for a society whoso business It
was to Insure people against the frightful
tragedy, in their estimation, of falling In
love. But this was a cynical business and
Philadelphia would have none of It. In
sure people against falling In love!
Shades of Aphrodite and Eros! Of course
not. The society was not allowed to In
corporate here.
Judging from tho expressions of opinion
of Mr Pennypacker and Judge Patter
son the new society, whose purpose It Is
to Injure people from falling out of love,
will not receive a more cordial treatment,
although its purpose Is certainly not
sgatnst public policy.
