The Marriage Trail
By DOROTHY I>IX
"I notice that a rich society spinster
has been giving an Interview In which
she advises girls to hit the matrimonial
trail," remarked the Bookkeeper.
"I don't observe that she takes her
own advice," retorted the Stenog
rapher.
"People never do," assented the
Bookkeeper, "most of the matrimonial
I'liVis that I have ever met were old
bachelors and spins. They advise the
holy estate, and the domestic bliss
stuff, while the folks who have gone
through the matrimonial mill look
(.bout as battered up and as enthusias
tic as Jack Johnson did when Jess
Willard got through with him."
"There's a lot of difference between
theory and practioe." observed the
Stenographer, "and one of the reasons
that old maids are so strong for mat
rimony is because they haven't tried
It, and haven't got any facts to the
contrary to Jolt them out of their
ilream about vine-wreathed cots, and
little faces at the windowpar.e, and n
sturdy masculine arm on which a
•w oman can lean and be protected from
the cruel world.
"And it's the same way with those
■who get married. Thev advise you
to stay single, because when they
think of all the trials and tribulations
of trying to stretch a one-horsepower
Income over a forty-horsepower fam
ily circle it looks to them as if any
body had Just deliberately cone out
of their way to hunt up trouble who
rets married."
"You bet," responded the Book
keeper. "our kind friends hang out
plenty endanger signals on both divi
sions of the road."
"That's right," agreed the Stenog
rapher, "when I go to see my Aunt
Mary, who is a spin with a good in
come, and a nic>- little home of her
»wn, everything is so comfortable and

THURSDAY EVENING,
quiet, and she's so free and indepen
dent that I think the bachelor girl
life is the only life for me. But Aunt
Mary won't have it. 'Cut it out,
child,' she says, 'an old maid's home
Is the abomination of desolation and
lonesomeneßs. Get married and have
children. That's the Heaven on Earth
for a woman.'
"Then I go to see my sister, Mamie,
who is married, and has a grouchy
husband, and Ave small children, and
; lives in an uproar that makes her
house sound like a combination boiler
factory and insane asylum. And
Mamie is thin, and nerve wrecked,
and shabby, and overworked, and
; never has a penny of h»r own. and she
says, 'Be warned by me and stay
single. Take' It from me that any
girl who hats got a good Job and her
I own pocketbook is the wise darne
; who freezes on to them." "
I "It's a case of pay your money and

1 grimly. "Whichever way you do, you
will wish you had done the other."
| "In the face of all the evidence, I
wonder why people continue to
: marry?*' the Stenographer said, specu
latively.
"It's the sporting blood," returned
1 the Bookkeeper. "It's because matri
mony Is the biggest gamble on earth
that we all want to take a flier in it"
"And because its capital prize is
! the best and biggest thing on earth,
| and we all have an inextinguishable
hope that we will be the fortunate
j one who will draw it."
! "Rlght-o," assented the Book
keeper.
"Well, so far as I'm concerned,"
I said the Stenographer, "I thtnk I shall
i imitate the aforesaid spinster's not
■ able example. 1 shall stand safe and
| sound on the bank, and urge other
people to take the plunge by telling
them that the water is fine."
FOR THE SCHOOL GIRLS
4 Smart Frock that can be Made with
or without the Skirt Yoke.
By MAY~MANTON
8754 Girl's Dress, with or without
Yoke, 8 to 14 years.
Plaited skirts are always becoming to
little girls. In this case, the skirt may
be made with or without the yoke but
whenever it is becoming, it is well that it
should be used. The blouse that com
pletes the dress is a very simple one,
closed at the back, yet with a little
chemisette effect at the front that
is new and exceedingly smart. In the
picture, soldiers' blue gabardine
is trimmed with _ black braid and
the chemisette i® o ( ivory white
broadcloth with small pearl but
tons, but one could copy this dress in
many different materials. Girls will wear
linen, cotton poplin and other washable
materials of the sort for many weeks
to come and it would be exceedingly
charming made of any one of these and
could be trimmed with either braid or
with contrasting material. _ There are
wool crtpes that are charming for girls'
wear and the poplin weaves are to be
used this season and there is altogether
a most interesting variety. The rolling
collar leaves the neck just open for com
! fort; the sleeves may be made in either
three-quarter or in full length.
For the 13 year size will be needed 5H
I yds. of material 37 in. wide, 5 yds. 36,
4 yds. 44 with yds. of braid.

England Must Raise
$2,115,000,000 to Help
Allies Continue War
By Associated Press
London, Oct. 14.—A great national
campaign of private economy was
urged by Sir George Paish, in an ad
dress as the only possible means of
preventing ultimate suspension of
specie payments by Great Britain.
England is carrying the great finan
cial burden of the war." he said. "The
war found some weak spots in our
allies which we must repair. France
has lost a part of her income and
therefore we must find money with
which to buy the things she needs.
Russia has virtually no exports so we
must help her. In addition we must
provide for Belgium, Serbia and other
powers.
"The result of all this is that for
the current year we must find, outsido
our own expenditures, 423.000,000
pounds (J2,116,000,000) for our allies.
I* England content to go on living as
, to-day? Money is being squandered
on all sides with the result perhaps,
[that later our allies w come to us
for money and we shall not have the
means to support them." 1
