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-

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-

certain crimes, Thcreforf, it is a ques
t tlon largely of just what sins are to

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

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.

ask a man you know well and who hns

may call, to como see you and bring an

who Is staying with you.
It sounds as If your friend's fiance

right to kiss men promiscuously keep
your kisses for tho man you will some
day marry nnd you will be very glad
you did.
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. Mr. 24, If you want
to find the right kind of girl some day.

Hello. Dick! lou'rc punctual." She
held out n uhite-gloved hunri. "I I'm
awfully glad to see jou, Dick!"
"Ar'.l.1, l0(l' dear!" He benmed on
her. Mnry, jou look too beautiful for
words!"
She gave n happy smile. Like every
normnl girl in love she rejoiced that
her lover found her beautiful.
"I'.N?,.B,t n ,axl uniting." he went
on. e have some business to attend
- ..T,,en ve'" fiml tearoom and have
tea!
They drove away together.
The streets seemed very crowded now
to Marys ees. Fifth avenue wns
packed. Hut nn nlr of cheerfulness
hung .over everything. It coincided
with thn young girl's mood.
"Where arc we gorngV" Mnry nsked.
Just wait nuri see," laughed Dick.
Ulicy turned into some side streets,
nnd finally drew up before a rather
dingy-looking office. Dick helped Man
to descend. He told the taximan to
wait. ,
ThcL rutcred the building side by
side, walked down u passage, turned
to the right, ami found themselves In
n small room, In front of a table where
two men were sented.
Two young men in naval uniform
friends of Dick's were also there.
"Cheerio, old chap! We're here on
time!" They nodded to Calnrdln. "This
is the first, time we've ever done this
job before !'
Then Dick presented Mnry. The
young naval officers beamed upon the
Blrl.
"We don't kn'ow which one of you to
congratulate the most !" one of' them
snld. "Miss Drew, you're lucky! Hut
Dick Is awfully to be envied, nlso !"
Mary turned a puzzled little face to
Dirk. Hut before she could say u word
one of the men behind the desk re
marked :
"Will the witnesses both come hero
n moment?
And the two nnvni nojs went for
ward. "Mary, denr heart. Dick whispered,
"you and I are going to be married
now! I've pot the license and the
witnesses nnd the ceremony will tnke
place ot once!"
Tomorrow Married In Hosto.

ADVENTURES
The Swamp Pirates
By HAJIDV
CHAPTER I
Winged Foes
THE tempest of wind nnd rain fled
out to sea. It left Twinkling Isle
nil nicely washed nnd ns sweet as n
child on tho waj' to church on Sunday
morning,,
In fhc door of the wigwam sat Pcggy
Billy, Folly Wisher, the 'goblin nnd
the newly wedded African, girl and
youth, watching the blnck clouds roll
nwny. Abodt tliein flitted the tiny
fairies on dragon -Or wings. From the
doors of other wigwams peeped the
monkej-s.
All wns very bright nnd peaceful after
the storm. The sun came out with n
cheerfjil smile, his rays turning the
raindrops Into sparkling Jowels. A
fresh breeze blew nwny the mists.
Hut the tiny fulrics didn't seem happy
as they darted from the wlgwnni. On
the fontrnry, they looked worried. They
cast nuxtoiis glnnces toward n swamp
nt the other ldu of the bay, nnd be
gan to fly lulntid. They beckoned the
children to follow.
"Something hns mode the fairies
nfrnld," whispered Peggy to Billy. "Do
jou think wo hnd better go with them?"
Illlly gazed across the bay. He could
sec no reason for fleeing after the
fairies.
"I think we hnd better stay here,"
said Hilly. "If there Is danger we
would be safer In our enmp than any
place else."
So Peggy, Hilly, Folly Wisher and
thq two savages stayed behind while
the fairies fled.
"We had better get ready to meet
any danger thnt may come." said Hilly.
"Let us gather stones mid sticks with
which to defend ourselves."
So thev gathered stones, heaping them
up in piles before the wlgwnm where
they would be ready to throw should
n foe nppenr. The monkeys bow them
working nnd came eagerly to help.
Thev. too. gathered stones to throw.
nitd nlso big rocks. There were so
many monkeys to help nnd the monkeys
worked so fast that soon they built n
fort of stones around thrf wigwam.
Youth of, the Lion Heart took the
ax left behind by Harrison Crusoe, the
missionary, and with this began to cut
clubs. The monkeys helped In this,
too. with the result thnt clubs were cut.
not only for Peggy, Hilly, Folly Wisher
nnd the two African savages, but nlso
for nil the monkeys. As the monkeys
waved their clubs they loolccd like a
rczular army.
"I don't think nny ono will dare
ntlock us now," cried Hilly, glnnolng
again townnl the sw-nrap. "We could
drive away a dozen foes."
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.

The Roof
He Forgot.
66npHE best things we
! have," said Uncle
Dudley, "are the ones we
forget. Three of my work-
E men are always quarrel- 5
ing, or drinking, or atrik-
S ing, and I lie awake nights
S thinking about them. But
E one man is always on E

E makes no trouble and I
almost forget -I have him.
"Same way with roofs. I E
know nbout the house roof, for
tho slates nre nlwayB breaking; E
E tho ahintrlo roof on tho barn S
E leaks in three places; and that E
now patent incombustible roof E
has caught fire twice already; 5
but tho old tin roof that father E
put on the shop never leaks, E
E can't burn, never mnkes trou- S
ble and if old Potts didn't E

There's Nothing So Refreshing
w ater Ajter a oesswn fv.im tne aurning sunshine
MONDAY again nt last swimming
pool day I
There are some of us who can't get
nwny from the iot city nil summer
long.
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.

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.
