EVENING LEDGEB-PHirABBLPHlA, FBlDkY. MAY 14, 1915. 10 WOMAN AND THE HOME, PRIZE SUGGESTIONS, VAGARIES OF FASHION, CHILDREN'S CORKE I The Wisdom "TS THE decrease In marriage lotlay X due to the selfishness of men or the r'selflshness ot women?" Is a question frequently heard. At first thought one might answer- "Six of ono ami half n. dozen of the other!" Hut reflection brings rt very different solution. Modern social conditions nro chiefly responsible for the situation. Tho average, girl Is brought up to expect that she will marry very comfortably and that ho will at least enter a homo ns good If not better than the ono sho Is leaving. fine takes little heed of the fact that that particular homo was only achieved After years and years of struggle on the part of both her father and her mother. For their training has Inculcated In her a very genuine forgctfulness of that fact "Wo don't wnnt our daughter to go through tho struggles wc know so well!" declaxo her fond parents Indulgently. "Wo want her to begin where wo left off! A happy, sheltered llfo Is what tho child has always had. mid sho Isn't (Hied to start out all over again and face poverty and hardships. 'though our love sur vived the test, things weren't so hard for us,for wo both had been accustomed to poverty Hut for our child well, sho Is different!" Ko the daughter rrows up with the firm belief that worl. Is derogatory to her dignity and that money matters In marriage more than does anything else While she may allow herself to fall In lovo with some highly Ineligible oulh. nt the same time she Is too worldlj-wlse to do as her parents did befoie her, nnd face tho world together on a limited In come. And so there Is some sort of an understanding" which dr"ts along for many years, or there Is on engagement which all too frequently Is broken. And what of the man and his particular point of view on the expediency or In expediency of early marriages? "When poverty comes In nt tho door, lovo flies out of tho window!" Is very frequently his iriotto. Therefore he Is content to spend the best j cars of '.Is life In a variety of flirtations, affairs, entanglements but none holding the matrimonial noose at the end. Yes, tho modern young man CHILDREN'S CORNER A Queer Catch I AST summer, Ned Outland had a X queer present sent to him from a. friend up In Wisconsin. You would never In tho world guess what It was! A box of turtles! Yes, they came all carefully packed In moss and they stood the long Journey splendidly. Ned was very proud of them and waB quite tho most envied boy In the neighborhood for many a day. He dug o. llttto pool In the back yard; lined it with stones; surrounded it with wire netting nnd filled It dally with fresh water. Thprc he put the turtles and there they lived In peace nnd luxury alt tho long summer. Around that same turtlo pool, tho boys played every day and they framed those turtle prisoners till they really seemed very clever. But when winter came, turtles were CUlte a .problem. They couldn't be left out of doors, they would freeze. They couldn't live In tho house, and rcd re fused to let his pets wander away and look after themselves ns father sug gested. So, finally, when the first freeze of the season made a quick de cision necesary, mother suggested they be put In a wire-covered box down cel lar. "You can feed them and keep an eye on them theic," she said to Ned, "and the wire will keep them from getting In any one's wny." So the turtles went Into winter quar ters down cellar. Now In that same house lived little sister Mary and her pet oat, the hand some big Queen. Queen was always getting Into scrapes and by good luck getting out .igaiii so v Ned should have been more careful to keep his wire over the turtles' cage! But Ned, like every body else, was sometimes careless! And he occasionally forgot to icplaco the wire after he put fresh water In the cage; but that did no special harm, It only meant that one or two turtles would wander over the cellar and be found and put back. In the lato winter, Queen presented her mistress with four beautiful little kittens. Mother and mistress were both Very proud of them and, ns soon as they grew big enough to teach, they began lessons. Mary taught them neat TOWN OF FUNNY DREAMS THE MAY-FLOWERS By Bob Williams From underneath tho fallen Leaves That carpeted the Ground Jn "Wonder Woods, the Sunny Sprouts Of Funny Town would bound.

Youthful marriages are reck oned as successful only In tho amount of money which Is brought to the contract. And men and women nowadays wait to marry until tho first glow of youth Is long slnco past. It Is a pity that this should be the case.

"You do very well now," she said to them, "with the food they set before you, but any high-class cnt learn1" to catch mice so she can bo independent!" The four little kittens listened enre fully, then tho bravest spoke up and said, 'Tlease mother, now that you have told us about It, mayn't I go and catch a mouse?" "This is a pretty funny mouse, though." "Catch a mouse?" asked Queen, "you don't oven know what a mouse looks .like! Walt till I havo time to go with you and show you how It Is done." "But I can do It alone," Insisted the bravest kitten. "Very well, then," said Queen, half way provoked nnd halfway proud of her kitten. "If you are so Biire, bring me one!" In half an hour, the bravest kitten was back again, and what do you suppose Bhe had in her mouth? Yes, you havo guessed! She had a turtle!

It was professedly to gather them that Hugh Ingram had taken an early morning drhc. And to add to the ap parent rasualness of the trip, ns well as for n personal reason, he had asked Mora Kverton to accompany him Yet after tilling two sacks and throwing them care lessly on tho bottom of the cart, hn al lowed the finest of the fruit to hang temptingly on the boughs ungathered. Morn, pert, picturesque, pretty, but by no mentis approaehahle. sat on a fallen post, red apples In her lap, red npplcs above her head, and one half eaten In her hand. "Oh, hut I'm hungry," she cried, "and apples don't satisfy me ono bit. Why"" did wo come' awny without breakfast?" "Miss Kvertnn," snld Ingram, Ignoring her question, "could you never onro for a country-bred mnii"" "Maybe If he gave me enough to ent." Ho mnde nn Impntlent gesture. "You said Inst night you'd never marry nnv one but a ifnlicrslty graduate." "When I snld that I had Just eaten a good dinner!" she laughed, provoklngly. "Throw up your hands, commanded a voice from behind the mine manager. Ho wheeled around and Mora looked up to hop u roughly diesseil limit climbing Into the nrt nnd another covering In giam with his rifle. As the latter hesi tated about nliejing the older, the des pcrodo lepcated angrily: "Throw up your hnnds, ynu fool, or I'll shoot'" Heslstnnre would be nindness Ingram's hnnds went up. Neither of the outlaws thought the girl worth their notice, nnd she snt with tho half-entcn apple In her hand appar ently stupefied Hut her mind was busy. Sho knew, though she hod not been told, that tho gold from the week's clean-up of tho Osage mine wns In the cart. t'sunlly It wns sent to Homa for ship ment to the Snn Francisco Mint on the back of mule, but the stage from Homa to Hed Oulch had lit en held Up a few day before, nnd though the, sheriff nnd his poi-io hnd been nut dally hunting them, the outlaws were still nt lnrgo And, therefore, It hnd been-deemed wise to send the gold down In such a careless manner ns to put the rohbers off tho scent. Tho whole situation mirrored Itself In the jnung woman's binln. Mentally she saw Inginm ruined, humiliate! and dis graced, nnd nil through his love for her. For weeks sho hnd kept him lit suspense as to her feelings toward him. nnd now bv her coquetry sho hnd so engaged his attention ns to throw him off his gunrd. Softly she transferred the apple to her left hand and her right hand went quietly to the side of bet sklit, where nn odd pocket bulged out. For six months the cltj girl hnd been the guest of the en gineer's wlre, nnd enrh dn sho had le telveri a lesion from Ingram In the art ot shooting. Sho would not fall her pre ceptor In his cxtremlt . she felt that she must undo tho harm she hnd done. The open nlr life In the mountains had stead ied her nerves nnd she felt wonderfully cool. Quickly and deftly she drew the weapon forth and sprang to her feet The next Instnnt a report broke tho stillness, the outlaw's right mm dropped to his side and his llllo fell with n crash. With a couple of bounds, Ingram was upon him, had tin own him to the ground nnd wns holding him there with his knees upon Is cheat. Then he drew a stout coid from his pocket and bound the man's , arms tightly to his sides. His confederate hnd carried some of the gold Into the chnpparnl, nnd was back hi the cart getting the remainder when, ho heard the report. He lifted his head quickly, nnd a bullet from Mora's pistol grazed his hair. Undeterred by the shot, he sprang fiom the cart to go to his mate's assistance, but before he could reach tho gun ho hnd put down whllo ho wns collecting tho gold, Ingram had seized the wounded man's rlfie nnd cov ered the desperado with It. Then he or dered the man to bring him a. coll of rope he would find in the cart. Tho man sullenly obeed, and as the mine mnnnger was binding his hands n shout wns heard "Hello, Ingram! What are you up to?" "Doing a little of jour work. Sheriff. I'm glad you chanced along. I hardly knew how to get these fellows Into Roma." "They're tho very men we're after Bed Dick and Sandy Bill. How did you manage to catch them single-handed?" "I was not single-handed. Miss Everton did the most ot the work." "No, no," protested Mora, coming for ward, "Mr Ingram taught me nil I know nbout the use of this." holding up the pistol. "The credit of tho capture Is due to him my teacher and" with a quick look at Ingram, which rewarded him for all she had made him Buffer, "my future husband." "Lucky man," said the gray-hnlred sheriff, "to secure In one morning n brace of stage robbers, a charming wife, nnd " "Bed apples," snld Mora, with a re turn of her mischievous playfulness. "Won't you have one. Sheriff?" (Copyright. 1915) The Arrow and the Soijg I shot an arrow Into the air, It fell to earth, I know not where; For, so swiftly It flew, the sight Could not follow It In IU) flight. I breathed a song Into the air. It fell to earth, I know not where; For who has sight so keen and strong That It can follow the flight of song?
