Governmental Marriage Bureaus Have Been Sug
gested to Aid Young Men and Women in
Selection of Proper Mate
THERE aro two theories about Jove.
Ono Is that It Is a disease; that It
attacks you when you nron't looking and
that almost any little girl "who's a nlco
little girl," to quoto the larnruago of tho
aons, "Is the right little Blrl for you" at
this crucial time. The other h that a
man. falls In love deliberately and with
malice aforethought. Ho snys to himself,
as It wore: "Seo horo, I've been a gay and
Biddy bachelor long enough. 'TIs time I
began tb build a conjugal nest; I'll go
aeek me a little lovebird." And forth
With ho goes out Into tho highways and
the byways searching for hl3 Ideal, en
tertaining moro doubts nbout finding her
than about tho dllncultles of conquering
her after she has been located.
Monsieur Brleux, he of "Tho Damaged
Goods" authorship and other arresting
and arrested writings, suggests tho mu
nicipal marriage bureau for tho purposo
of helping young men find tho right
young woman and vice verso. Writes ho:
"Special registers should be kept at all
Mayor's ofllces where any eligible young
person can sign his or her name and
glvo hU or her age and profession, so
that any one desiring to marry can find
a life companion without difllculty. Since
we agree today that the preservation
of the raco Is the greatest and most
sacred duty, it Is necessary to give all
help to those Inclined to build new
homes."
This proposition, of course, was
launched with the Idea of facilitating
the repopulation of war-torn France, but
It has been suggested that America, too,
could profit from the establishment of
governmental marriage bureaus.
Now If a shy young man wants to be-'
come a benedict he is nonplussed to know
how to meet some suitable young woman
from whom to make his choice. Some
times he goes to dancing school, though
ho loathes the very thought of Terp
Bichore, and the misery caused to him
self is exceeded only by the misery he
Inflicts upon his Ill-fated partners. Some
times ho learns to play cards, or tennis,
or the cornet, so as to appear moro fair
In the eyes of the charming sex. How-

May I have the adress of the person who

of the mutual good that might ensue. Will
he (In recognizing her letter here men
tioned) be so kind as to let us have her
correct address, that wo may pass It over
to "L. A,"?
Regarding Business Letters
I am told that It Is not good form to begin a
letter on business as "My Dear Sir" or "My
Sear Madam." As I am fitting; myself to be
a private secretary In a business olflce. I
could like to be Informed on all such subjects.
JULIA R.
"Dear Sir" Is more businesslike and In
more general use than "My Dear Sir."
There can be but one opinion as to the
second example you cite. 'My Dear
Madam" Is virtually the repetition of the
French "madame." signifying 'my lady,"
To preface this by "my" Is needless and
absurd. In both Instances cited the more
dignified and becoming style Is to omit the
personal pronoun. Write simply 'Dear Sir"
and "Dear Madam," Save a word In a
business letter when this may be done
without Injury to sense or style.
"Asleep at the Switch"
I am a faithful reader of the column and en
joy It much. I should love to cet the word of
"Asleep at tho Switch." I Inclose a stamped
and self-addressed envelope far reply.
MRS. J, B, K.
As I have had occasion to remark sev
eral times, the' Corner does not keep selec
tions, poetical or prose, "on tap," Hence
we returned your envelope with a regretful
apology and a promise to put the request
into print. You will assuredly get the
poem. Correspondents supplied It readily
and graciously In response to former Quer
ists. And we are honestly desirous to
oblige so good a friend and loyal a Cor
nerite as yourself. The request Is duly
registered. You shall have the selection
by the next malt to that which brings It
to us.

very much simpler It ho could but put his
enso Into the hands of the municipality
and let fate and tho Government do the
rest. Then he would walk around the cor
ner to tho marrlago bureau bearing, per
haps, this statement In his lift ml:
"I am a young man, 28 years of age,
have dark hair and good teeth. Have
two Incurablo habits playing tho mouth
organ and reading Chesterton. Make $35
a week. Want affectionate little blonde
wife who knows how to play tho talking
machine and goes to church, Communi
cate with Lovelorn."
The municipal marriage clerk would
then look into his credentials nnd verify
them. He would advise tho lovelorn
young man that he could go about his
business sccuro In tho thought that he.
tho omdal Cupid, would keep a sharp
cyo opon for the affectionate little blonde.
Presently she herself, tho very woman
for him, would como to tho bureau, and
all would bo as merry as a marriage boll.
Likewise, a woman grown weary of
her Job and the loneliness of slnglo
blessedness ccvild dispense with nil tho
boresome preliminaries of finding a mate
by communicating in this manner with
tho bureau:
"Young woman of 25, tired of support
ing hcrsolf, would like vlrllo husband
with an automobile, preferably a 1917
modo'. She has blue eyes and can make
good coffee. Does not smoke or drink, but
does not demand a like abstemiousness
from man she seeks. Address Clarice."
Hy tho establishment of such bureaus,
the optimists contend, vulgnr park-bench
flirtations and obnoxious street corner
mashing would bo obviated. Young men
and young women, whoso only habita
tion Is the third-floor bnck of second-rate
boarding houses, would be spared tho
frightful loneliness thnt can bo suffered
only In the crowded cities. The flower of
the marriage bureau would be theirs to
pick from, should tho promulgators of
this movement meet with success.
But in the meantlmo one can imaglno

Me are not engaged to be married, but like
each other very much. If 1 do write eery Uy.
should I start the flrt one or wait until I hear
from him? j u. C
It Is pot usual to hold a dally corre
spondence with a man unless ono Is engaged
to him ; therefore. It would be better nnt
to make a promlio to write so often. Wnlt
until the young man writes to you, then
answer the letter cordially, but not im
mediately. Promiscuous letter-writing be
tween girls and men Is never to be en
couraged unless great prudence Is exer
cised. Persons often say things In conver
sation which simply mean nothing, but,
written down, assume much more meaning
than the writer Intends. And some men.
ungentlemanly though it Is, will even boast
of letters they have received from girls
and show the letters. In your case it might
be all right to write, but I can give only
general answers In the column.
I would not use the expression, "gentle
man friend": say either "Mr. " or "a
man I know."
Announcements
Dear Deborah Rush Will you word for me
the proper form for sending out wedding; an

A heavy white paper should be used,
which Is. of course, double, and when folded
should fit an oblong envelope. This en
velope Is again Inclosed In one of a slightly
larger size. Any stationer will show you
the proper script for the engraving of the
announcement A card with the name of the
newly married pair, also their new address
and days for receiving engraved on it,
should be Inclosed with the announcement.
The proper wording would be as follows:

SPORT COAT OF TYROLESE WOOL
THE sport coat Is numbered nmong the necessities In tho dress list. This handsomo
one has possibilities for ninny occasions.
The materials used nte Tyroleso wool nnd velvet, which make a very rich com
bination, especially when the velvet Is black nnd combined with a solid color, such as
gold, rose, white, purple or Copcn blue, as In this model. The velvet Is used In the
collar as a wide band and on the sides nnd back and Is used for the buttons also. Tho
long, full skirt of the coat has a deep velvet band at tho bottom. A wrap like this
would solve many sartorial dlfllcultlcs. Price. $21.75.
Among the variety of millinery models shown for tho fall this ono holds Its own.
It Is of satin faced with velvet. Tho latter la always soft against the hair. The ribbon
across tho front of the crown stands out on cither side, terminating In a whip at tho
ends This Is caught to tho crown with a folded silk ornament It may be ordered In
any color: Rlso In all velvet. Price. J5.
The name of the shop where these articles may he purchased will be supplied by tho
Editor of the Woman's Page, Kvenino I.EDacn, G08 Chestnut street. The request must
lie nccompanled by a stnmped sclf-addretscd envelope, and must mention the date on
which the article nppcared.
Baking Soda Uses
There nro numerous U3es to which baking
soda can be put, apart from tho accustomed
nnd legitimate ones of cake and bread mak
ing. First of all. It is tin excellent family
remedy for scalds. When milk Is on the
point of turning sour a pinch of baking
soda dropped In it will restore It to its
natural sweetness.
A thick paste made of soda and water Is
excellent for cleaning glasses in which
milk, lco cream or other greasy substance
has been standing, or even when there Is
no time to mako a paste. If the fingers nro
dipped In water, then In dry soda and the
greasy part of the glass Is rubbed aiound
with them, the marks will quickly disap
pear and tho glass become bright.
Lamp chimneys treated In the samo way
will shine like crystal, while If a lamp
burner Is boiled for half mi hour In soda
and water It will cause the lamp to burn
with renewed brilliancy. Soda Is also ex
cellent to clean silverware. Make It Into
a. thin paste nnd rub briskly, then wash
in hot water.
FARMER SMITH'S
WHO LIVES ON THE STARS?
The other night, my dear little scholars, I was holding a very interesting
young boy in my lap.
Far up in the sky a star was winking and blinking at us, it may have been
a few million miles away.
The little boy said to me, "Who lives on the stars?"
Do you suppose I was so ignorant as to say I did not know who lives on
the stars? I have just as much right to GUESS who lives on the stars as
anybody, so I said:
"The stars are inhabited by little boys and girls called Happytites, and
the funny part of it is, each one has exactly what he wants.
"Most of the Happytites have on the stars what they did not have on earth,
for those on the stars came from our earth,
"Some of the Happytites have automobiles and some have ponies, others
have Indian, suits and some have shoes. One little Happytite, on this particular
star, has a Rainbow all his own.
"The Happytites never get tired of what they have. They sleep in the day
time and run around at night our night. If you look very closely at a star
you will sec it twinkle and that is the Happytites running around on the white
grass. You see, nothing can hurt the Happytites, so the white grass doesn't
hurt their eyes.
"There are no grown-ups on the stars, they are all on the moon; yes, all
of them whom you would think ought to be on the stars are on the moon.
No'w you know who lives on the stars."
The little boy thought I was entirely right.
Who do YOU think "lives on the stars?" )

tops ot cloth or Ienther. Tops matching

seasons, nt least, will be equally fashion
able. The laced shoe will continue In favoi,
and it will be shown in all leather as well

Is smartest, whllo for "dressier" wear tho

MANY FALL RENTALS
ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. 29. Tho feminine
bnthcrs nt this resort nre quick to recover
from anger at nny supposed abridgement
of their rights. Yesterday tho regular
bnthcrs, who had bpen deprived of the
pleasure of taking stocklnglcss baths on
Sunday, were a unit In declaring thnt they
were satisfied with the ruling of the au
thorities, Inasmuch as the now order had
not been put Into effect until the senson
was waning They comforted themselves
with the thought that they had enjoyed this
privilege for tho greater part of tho season
nnd that at the beginning of next summors
bathing tho hubbub over bare limbs would
all bo forgotten and they would be nllowed
to parado tho beach without wearing ho
siery, ,
Itcntnls for the fall months contlnuo brisk
nnd real cstnto men report an unusual num
ber of sales for this season of tho year
Cottages which will bo vacated by summer
tennnts after Labor Day are being snapped
up by people returning from the mountains
and other resorts. Among tho salc3 reported
last week are two made to theatrical peoplo
who havo purchased homes hero to occupy
when they nro not cngageu in meir pro
fession. James and Bonnie Thornton havo
bought a cottage In Chelsea and will mako
this their permanent home. A Now York
manager who rented a cottage for tho sum
mer has arranged to purchaso a house In
tho samo section and will keep open house
hero all the year around. The claim Is mado
thnt this Is almost as easy of access as
resorts nearer to Now York, and tho fact
that this city Is both a summer nnd winter
resort makes It a desirable placo to llvo In.
Tho summer schedule on tho railroads
to this city will bo adhered to much later
than usual this year. Instead of trains
bolng lopped off after Labor Day tho full
schedules will bo retained until lato In Sep
tember, nnd when tho fnll trains aro an
nounced It will bo found that thero aro
many moro trains than In former years.
Tho volume of business during the summer
has been so satisfactory that an effort will
bo mado by tho railroad companies to mako
tho fall and winter season hero tho biggest
In history.
Last night visitors hero saw two thcntrl
cal productions direct from Now York. "Hit
tho Trnll Holllday," with Fred Nlblo and
the entlro Now York cast, and Gcorgo M.
Cohan's quaint comedv, a refreshing nov
c ty. Al Jolson nnd tho New York Winter
Garden Company, In "Robinson Crusoe,
Jr.," wns also shown for the first time out
of Now York, with tho samo company, Bccn
cry and effects as during Its run in New
York.
Vegetable Hints
Strong-flavored vegetables, such as
onions, .cabbage and turnips, should be
cooked uncovered.
All vegetables should go over tho fire In
boiling water.
Fresh, succulent vegetables should always
be put to cook In salted water. Old vege
tables that havo becomo somewhat tough
should havo tho salt added a few minutes
beforo the cooking Is finished.
Watermelon Honey
Cut out red pulp from one or moro water
melons. Crush and simmer till soft, thon
strain, thus removing seeds nnd simmer un
til thick.
Th r co quarts of pulp will make one-fifth
pint of "honey."
Cool honey and bottle like grapejulce.
Tho honey Is best without sugar, but a
larger quantity can bo mado from tho samo
amount of pulp if a llttlo lemon Juice and
sugar are added.
Removing Mildew
Mildew on garments Is easily removed.
Wet tho article with soft water, rubbing
It well with white soap, then with pow
dered chalk. Place It on tho grass In the
sunshine and be sure to keep It damp with
soft water, repeating the process the next
day.
Gifts
Give a man a horse he can ride,
Give a man a boat he can sail ;
And his rank and wealth, his strength and
health
On sea nor shore shall fall.
Give a man a pipe he can smoke,
Give a man a book he cah read;
And his homo Is bright with a calm delight,
Though tho room be poor indeed.

THE JUNGLETOWN
BABIES'
HOSPITAL
By Farmer Smith
"Where have you been?" asked Mrs.
Elephant of her husband the day he
sneezed and blew Mr. Jay Brd almost up
to the sky,
"I couldn't possibly tell you." replied her
husband, as he Bettled himself In his mor
ris chair and began to read the Jungle
town news. "Oh 1" he exclaimed. "I see
Mr. and Mrs. Giraffe and their daughter
Evangeline are back from the seashore
after a month's visit."
"That's all right, but where have you
been?" Mrs. Elephant was not going to
let her husband off so easily.
"If you must know, I was down to visit
the Jungletqwn Babies' Hospital."
"Well, of all things! What on earth
were you doing there? You are bo big
the babies would not have room to breathe
with you there."
"I didn't go In, I I sat on the porch!"
answered the big fellow meekly,
"Well, I hope you didn't, The dear things
would cry their eyes out at the sight of
you."
"They squawked enough as It was we
could hardly hear ourselves think. I"
"IJow dare you talk so disrespectfully of
those dear little things. Who's we?"
"The board of governors. Didn't you
know your husband was one ot the mana
ger's of the Jungletown Babies' Hospital?"
Mister Elephant looked straight at his
wife.
"I'm sorry I didn't," answered Mrs. Ele
phant "Well, it happened today. I was elected
today; aren't you proud of me?"
"Yes," said Mrs. Elephant, thoughtfully,
"I am proud of you and sorry for the
babies."
"WHAT!" exclaimed Mr. Elephant, al
most jumping out of his chair.
"Yes," replied Mrs. Elephant, as she came
over and kissed her husband. "You are
so good and kind I fear you will spoil
those dear babies."
