' m.-4m SJ iNauxti $ Woman's Life and Love By WIXIFKED IIABPER COOLEY Trial Marriage? A FEW years ago the world was thrown in an uproar by some col lege professor or mild-eyed reformer. h o advocated trial marriages. Humorists pic tured all sorts of wild adven tures, and mor alists stated that the modern gener ation was rot ten, and every one was going to the devil. The ob jectors seemed to think that the nd vocntes were sug gesting an epoch of wild orgies nnd nromlseuous reln- WIN I FIX KD HAIirKIl COOLBY tionship.H.' Now, there is nothing very new under the sun, although conditions chnnge a little, nnd things dress up in vnrlous disguiFes. each century. As a matter of fact, virtually every marriage contracted Is n trial marriage ! When you are nn expectant and radi ant bride, you do not say co'd-blood -edly, "I think that John is nn angel, but, of course. If he turns out to be 11 disappointment, I'll go home to soother." No. but you subeoirciously think Just that. Everything that you do in life is n trial. The experiment is made while you are pretty sure it is the best thing to' do, but you make a mentnl reserva tion that If it turns out a failure, you will give it up. Of course, you will d jronr best to keep to your side of the contract, and you will be patient, and endure a certain amount of disappoint ment nnd disillusionment, but there is n definite point beyond which you will not endure any more. "Make the best of a ! hnnrnln." cntinselM -vour mother. "unless the bargain Is too bod; but then give it up "Stick to it to the bitter end, if it kills you," say just n few people. Suppose you go into a business part marablp. There are dozens of complica tion! and legal papers to sign, and ol&CtB to rent for long terms. Alto gether, you think the mutter over pretty carefully, weighing nil the pros nnd cona, before you decide on the momen tous Btcn, nnd even then it may turn out badly. Tn (Wldlnr on a life partner, jou certainly ought to weigh the pros and eona quite ns carefully, but ten times to one you don't. You are influenced hr transient emotions, by music or moonlight. You ore lonesome nnd dis couraged, or jou lose jour head. At this psychological moment, nlmost any attractive wooer would get jou. It is easy to fall for n handsome man who makes lovo to you, nnd marriage seems a brilliant gamble, a solution to all your present problems. 'You make the trial. Majbe it chances to "turn out well." If so, It may be just "fool's luck," for you really did not exercise any ability In selecting, or common sense or judgment. Perhaps it turns out a ghostly mistake. You try to compromise. Having failed to attain the Ideal, you try to be satisfied with a cheap imitation. Uenernlly speaking, to be an "opportunist" Is rather sensi ble. You raunot expect perfection and a paradise, and often, there are many points In favor of enduring what you havt. rather than "flying to evils that you know not of." Still, the more liberal laws of modern years make possible thousands more of divorces, and so, out of the millions of trials, thousanus aumit they have niieu. What in meant by the ultra-modern term "trial murrlago," however, is a deliberate understanding by the con tracting parties, and by society nt large, that, In forming the tie, the man and woman frankly intend to brenk it, If It prove unsatisfactory. It is this frank , a ess that causes the furious denuncia tions of ultra-orthodox persona. ?v It really Is somcwhnt a matter of ex- 'f presslon. If all unions can be dissolved C" ' 'i IB case of serious misbehavior, then '," Ty marriage is a trial. Even the f" most rigorous religions permit oepara- tlca when one party has committed certain crimes, Thcreforf, it is a ques t tlon largely of just what sins are to 1. justify the Innocent pnrty's going tLni!h some form of brenkinc the tie rVt asunder of giving up, after "trying" ! .? -j TS.A,.,, MoroHHIi thn Knvlldh nnvpl. rt Jfr,- declared that ten years was a fair ! f,,' MaU-I)ai nusoanu anu wue uy wini f, rA.tlfM had weathered ail kinds of domes- tkg,v storms together, and could decide ' Bar , or not the bond was strons -- ta jjMtify coHtlsuatioa of the V HATCIIELOn PubUo Ltditr Co. Nancy felt helpless beyond words. Why, oh, why, didn't Mis Henderson Inter fere! And yet Trjx was apparently going willingly enough. But Miss Hen derson knew, then why did she stand there like that? She knew, or she wouldn't have warned Nancy to jtay with Trix nnd never to leave, her alono nnd yet she was letting Bruce Hender son carry her off without making an effort to prevent it. Trlx was already In her riding clothes. She had Insisted upon. dress ing that way for breakfast, and she looked like a slim little reed In the min iature trouscrH and high boots. Nancy fancied as Uruce Henderson carried her off that tlie child jerked her head about for one lnxt look, but she could not be sure. When she realised that she was nlone with Miss Henderson, she turned to her pnsslonatcly. "Why didn't you do something to prevent it. You know what It means I" It was the first time that she had voiced her xusplclons to Miss Hender son and she was amazed at the look the older woman turned on her. It was n look of mingled fenr nnd hope lessness; It told Nancy more than any words could have, that Miss Hender son's authority in the house went just so far, that it was limited. For the first time Nancy felt nctual fear, for until that moment she hod relied on Miss Henderson to manage her brother. Now, she knew that Miss Henderson, In spite of the fact that she had engaged Nancy ngatnst Bruce's wishes and had kept her there after his dismissal, could not protect Trlx against him. It ter rified the girl, it made her realize how entirely nlono she wos In this strnnge house nnd how utterly nt the mercy of this strange mnn. Hut sha could not think of herself, not now. Her thoughts were all with Trix ."You're nfrald of him, too?" she asked Miss Henderson the question like a child who hopes to be renssurcd. Hut Miss Henderson's face wos not reassuring; it was the face of a fright ened old woman nnd Nancy knew that nil hope for help In Hint quarter was gone. She stood nlone then, alone ngnlnst Bruce Henderson, for she was the only one In the house who did not fear him. The moment of panic thai she bad suf fered n momnt ago hnd not been for herself, but for Trlx. And yet her hands ncrc tied, for what could she do? The situation hnd slipped int of her hnads for the time nt lrnst. (To bo Continued) Other folks thouzht onp renr siifli. cient to test the experiment nmnly Others claimed that even n month would bring out nil the characteristics that might prove the step a mistake. It is true that the first surprises arc apt to be oer in that short time, but there is certain value in the test of time Itself. During the years of being mnted, with all the complications nnd manifold experiences, it is a matter of ueep reeling to hnvc epdured Illness nnd poverty and chnnges and unexpected joys nnd cnlamltles together. Married people wi-nvo a web of mutual life of intricate pattern, which. If rudely torn asunder ravels the threads and de stroys the unity nnd beauty. To vary the .figure, the roots grow deeper and deeper Into the soil of life, drawinc 1111 sustenance, till. If the tree suddenly Is rorn up. there is n serious upheaval, and never again can the tree be suc cessfully transplanted. A wise trial of any combination of persons has much in its favor. If we go to boarding school, we may fancy ? ,. for n roommate, who proves to be selfish and Irritating to madness, on closer intimacy. We then get rid of her. Common sense nnd fairness might urge that a similar line of conduct is wise when we are essaying to live with some one all our days. Still, there arc serious objections. Objectors to trial marriages believe uiem 10 oe unsaie tor women.

If they can be llcht-o'.lorr-s with Impunity, and not be penalized legally or frowned on by society, they may lose wnai nine sense 01 responsl billty they have been attaining through out the centuries.

Likes Nice Girls Dear Cynthia I am a younc man not quite twonty-two years old and I read your letters qulto often. I happened to read one which requests some young men to answer. Now this girl Is qulto right about name girls the way they act because 1 know, as 1 huVo been out and also kept company with quite a few girls In my time. Most of thorn are, sno says, out for a good time and I also havo been out with some real good girls, but I couldn't hold them because I didn't know how to net In their company. So you see tho girls I went with nt first spoiled tho pleasure of the grls 1 went out with later, and so thoy thought 1 didn't want them. That goes to show that one girl, known as a Jazz baby, spoils a good girl's pleasure. Now I might not le tho right man, nut I crave to go out with girls Just ns much ns sho docs with boys, nnd besides ns It Is now if I go out 1 generally qo with ono or more fellows, but still I feel as lonesome as a drawer with noth ing' in It. LONESOME AND WEABY. She Loves Him Dear Cynthia I am u dnlly reader of the EVKNINQ PUBUC Ledoeii and am very much Interested In your page. I am a young girl of twenty-one years of age and am In love with a young man, who happens to bo my employer's son. I lovo him dearly and show aim so. He shows me very little, sometimes he'll never even say a word to mo and sometimes when ho sees mo alone nell hug me and ktfs me. I don't know what he means when ho does It. I nsked him and ho said for pastime. I told him nover to attempt It again and he Just lnughs at me. I love hi in, dear Cynthia, hnd would llko to win his love. Please advise me what to do. You are a very foolish girl to let this young man bo o free with you. especially when ho tells you plainly that he docs not care, la merely making love to you as a pastime. Whero nre your pride and your womanly reserve? My dear, the Booner you procure another Eosltlon nnd leave your present one, the cttor for you. It would be wiser to tonve, ns you are foolish enough to want Ills caresses and allow them Such things always end up badly for a girl. Stop receiving at tentions from him nt once, unless he makes honorable proposals of marriage I you. Asks What Sho Expects Dear Cynthia In answer to "A Good Girl, but Disgusted," I will say thnt It seems as If she needed a change of environment. Why sit back nnd wult till the right man comes along? It Is not clear to mo why bo many girls tako the same attitude as herself. She thinks It Is mean because men do not play fair Havo you ever asked a fellow to call nnd then shown him the door when he got careless with his hands and tried to kiss cu? Do you consider such a move on his part anything but what you may expect? Don't put any man on a pedestal. If I know my own sex, men' will seek tho girl who amuses them every time. If you can't or don't want to make yourself agreeable with men. let them nlone for your own good, but don't knock the girls who nro good fellous and call them selfish. They are out for their good times, Just as yourseTT. Popularity comes to the girl who Is pleasant and agreeable, a good fellow who knows where to draw the line with out offending those who may be present. To my mind. It Is Just a quoBtlon of ready wit and clever repartee. And let me add a girl does not even havo to be pretty to bo popular, Just tho happy trait of being a good scout. This hap pens to be the opinion of a male reader who tries to hit it off with nil of them. MISTER 24 Tour contention does not seem a very good one, Mr. 24 Why should girls expect men to mako love to them unless they nre In earnest nnd want to marry them? Nice people do not do these things and nice girls therefore do not expect them. The attitude, which makes kissing and hugging when n man calls on n girl, whether he Is In lovo with her or not, a mntter of course, Is a very' wrong one. Men and girls enn be, and many of them are, very good friends nnd hnve very Interesting times together without bring ing tn a lot of aentlmentnl mushlness. Better lenrn that.

Hut Hilly wns wrong, as they soon learned. The foes from the swnmp did not fear stones or clubs. And they were coming by thousands and not by dozens. Peggy had kept her sharp ej-es on the swnmp." Now she snw something. "It looks like the tiny fnirie. flj !pg back here," she whispered to Hilly, pointing to n hazy line streaming across the bay. "But the flying fjUrle.s went the other way," answered Hilly anxiously. The hozy line drew neurer. Then ns Peggy and Hilly strained their eyes trj-ing to moke out the winged cren tures that formed It, the line suddenly faded from sight. "It has dropped among the bushes," whispered Billy. "It is just a swarm of insects. They will not bother us." Again Hilly wns wrong, ns he soon learned. lie heard a sharp buzzing close to his car. A mosquito," lie thought, and slapped nt it. "Look outl" cried Peggy. "It is n fairy!" Hut Peggy, too, was wrong as sho saw the instant she spoke. The buzzing crentures that danced nimbly away from Billy's bIoji had n tiny hu man bend nnd body like a fairy, but it wnsn't n fairy. Ifa fnce. instead of being whito, wns blue, nnd its look, in stead of being friendly, wns evil. It grinned snecrlngly nnd buzzed loudly. In answer to that buzz hundreds of creatures like it aiose from the bushes close nt band. "These are Imps! They arc the foes from whom the tiny fairies tied," cried Illlly. "Get ready to fight them!" How they fought the -winged foes will be told tomorrow. itlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllU; j&fc .fc.BwftBitftBkfta.ftfc.Jvawav a4 The Roof He Forgot. 66npHE best things we ! have," said Uncle Dudley, "are the ones we forget.

Wo have lo take what we nn get nnd be thankful for a cool day. No strolling tho boardwalk for us, no sending home of Inviting postcards bearing pictures of n deep blue sen nnd n wind-filled sail No Joj-ous wading In knee-deep waves or cool cojmtry creeks. Nothing but a sigh of relief when the sprinkler goes down the street, cas ing the glare of the sun-baked pav ing. Our only stroll Is early In the morn ing on the way to work and In tho hottest beams of the lnte afternoon sun on the way home again. It Isn't very nice In the city nt that tlmo of n rummer day. Everything Is bustling and hurryng to close up for the night, Just as it is.nt every other time of year, but the noise seems to make It better, the hurry seems to make It more stuffy nnd sticky. BUT on Mondays and on Fridays, Jlttrl flAmnllmna Wn,lnte.1nai fliAHA'a a cnnsolntlon.' And thn consolntlon is worth nil the heat nnd tho hurry. ' On Mondays the swimming pools nre open to girls from 0 o'clock In the morn ing until 0:30 nt night. Of -course, wo can't go In the day time when we arc working but after supper in the evening, oh) it's fun. We nnrdly wait to cat enough, we're ho crazy to get Into that water. o hustle over to the place, calling thn motormnn nnmes if we have to go on the trolley, because he won't break WHAT'S WHAT Hr IIKI.KN OECIB When writing to a woman who Is n, stranger, It Is correct to inscribe her name and address first, followed bv "Dear Madnm." This rule holds (rood whether the recipient of the letter Is married or single: that Is, when the English lnnguage In used. After tho Ilrst letter, tlm fn-iril Mndam may be dropped, If desired,- In favor of "My denr .drs. Jefitii.ou u "My dear Miss Adams." In the United States It Is more formal to use the pos sessive "My." but In Hngland the little pronoun Is Indicative of greater friend liness. Americans drop tlie My aB ac quaintance progresses. This Is Illus trated amusingly to outsiders nnd ret rospectors in the wnxinc nnd waning correspondcr.ee of nny love nffalr which, beginning with Dear Mndam and My dear MIbs Johns, proceeds through Dear MIbs Johns, Dear Miss Lotltla, Dear Le tltla. Dear Letty to the final Darling Girl, Sweetheart Mine, etc. Hardware that Stands Soaking Dutv where It's most nlwnys wet requires the extra durable kinds. Wo selected our stock with that In view.
