Mercenary Marriages Few, Despite Cynics
By DOROTHY 1)1 X
A young man. who avers he is of a
sentimental nature, complains bitterly
about what he calls the commercializa
tion of matrimony.
He says scornfully that in these
days girls do not marry lor love, as
their grandmothers did. but that they
regard marriage as a business proposi
tion. and that unless a man can offer
them a comfortable thing they will j
have none of him. lie further alleges
that when a man asks the modern girl \
to marry him she actually has the
nerve to ask hint what he makes, and ;
what his prospects are.
This the young man considers
shocking and he. opines that the rea
son that so man; men don't marry is!
because they cannot find any of the
sweet, old-fashioned maidens who
agree with the poet that love isj
enough and who never asks for Brad
street's blessing on their marriage.
1 think this matrimonial cynic, like
•a good many other cynics, doesn't un
derstand the situation at which he
s-cofts. tn the first place, there were
never, so few mercenary marriages
made as are mside The woman
i f the past had' to marry for a home
and a meal ticket Also she had to
marry to escape dependence, and to
have any individual place in the
world.
If Grandma Wanted to Live She Had
to Marry
If Grandma Wanted to
I ive She Had to Marry.
In nur grandmother's day the
only gainful occupations open to
v omen were domestic service, factory
work. sewing and teaching. All were
.miserably ill-paid, and so if grandma
wanted a decent living she had to
■ marry it. ' Also an old maid was a
figure of fun. despised, put upon the
fringe on some family that didn't
want any ,ippliqued edge of poor fe
nnle relations.
So if grandma desired a home of
her own. and position in society, and
»lo he admired and respected, she had
to marry an establishment, no matter
wiiat s;ort of feeling she had about the
gentleman who produced the where
withal.
The net result of this was that
women shamelessly married, whether
they loved or not, because marriage
was the only open door to a career
find livelihood.
Without doubt a thousand women
in the past made a sordid, mercenary
marriage, literally sold themselves in
marriage. where one woman does now.
Tor the first time in the history of the
world women are free to foiow the
dictates of their own hearts in
matrimony, because with all the ave
nues of gainful occupation that have
opened up before the feminine sex.
the modern girl can support herself
as well as the average husband is
likely to do.
The girl with a job can afford to
marry for love, and the man that sho
says "yes" to can rest in perfect satis
faction that he is loved for himself
alone, and loved greatly, because the
I'JpHE other day a man said to us, "Great ji|
Scott, everybody in Harrisburg must read
your Want Ad Page. About a week ago, I had
some furniture in the house for which I had
no further use and put a Want Ad in the £&

of it. Well, sir, I could have sold a carload Ssj
of furniture from that one little Want Ad."

Igirl of to-day thinks a good long white
before she surrenders her individual

Girl* Ought to Know
What Their Beaux Make
As for the cynic's caustic arraign
ment of girls who ask their prospec
tive husbands what they are making,
: why should they not? It is surely a
I question of some importance to a
woman to know what sort of a part
j nership she is going into, and what
the resources of the firm are going to
be. and what the prospects for the fu
i ture are.
No sensible man would he fool
enough to put his all into an enterprise
without making a few inquiries about
it. It wouldn't suffice him to know
: thai the gentleman interested in the
! project with him had soulful eyes, and
white teeth, and broad shoulders, and
ja taking way. He would want to know
how much the man made, what energy
he had. and whether he was one of the
men with initiative who would oe
sure to get along, or a slack individual
who would always just fall short of
success.
Surely, if anywhere on earth good,
hard, practical horse sense is needed,
it is in the selection of a life partner,
and it argues much for domestic
j happiness in the future that girls have
I begun to try to find out before mar-
I riage whether a man can support a
family or not, instead of waiting till
after marriage to find out that he
can't.
In poetry and novels romance is all
j that a young couple needs to start to
housekeeping, but in real life it takes
a bunk account, and unless that is
forthcoming the romance melts away
like mist in a morning sun. Nobody
:is sentimental when he is hungry,
I and cold, and shabby. And when the
! bill collector begins pounding on the
j door Cupid beats it out of the window,
jit takes a lull stomach, as well as a
| full heart, to inspire lovemaking.
I nek of finances Ruins
Most Marriage Romances
i These are truisms as old as civiliza
tion, and it doesn't kill romance, it
promotes romance to bear them in
mind. Of all disastrous marriages
none more quickly ends in misery and
disillusionment than those which are
not supported by an adequate finan
cial plank, and if girls have acquired
enough sense to inquire into the state
of a man's poeketbook. as well as his
II affections, before they marry, it's go
ing to do more than any other one
i thing to stop divorce,
i If this is what the commercialization
of matrimony means, then the com
' mercialization of matrimony meets a
>! long-felt want. Let's have more of it:
Wins on Remarkable
Run in Jeffery Four
One of the most remarkable auto
mobile runs of the season in Southern
California was made a couple of
weeks ago by W. W. Pope of Santa
Paula in his Jeffery 'four."
The run was a result of a wager,

round trip from Santa Paula to San
Diego and return in one day and by
daylight. The distance to be covered
was 120 miles, and the start from
Santa Paula was made at ten minutes
after four on the morning of July 21.
The conditions of the run were that
Mr. Pope should follow any road he
chose, but that he must be back in
J Santa Paula by 7:30 that evening.
According to the log of the trip,
kept by official observers and at
tested to by them, the car. with its
j four passengers, made the first leg
of the run into Los Angeles in two
I hours. After a six-minute delay for
I refreshments the dash for San Diego
| was resumed and the party arrived
i there at 11. four hours and forty-four
- minutes after leaving Los Angeles.
I The trip home, which started at
i 12:20 required four hours and fifty
j minutes to Los Angeles and two hours
I and nine minutes to Santa Paula.
| Nine minutes delay in Los Angeles
brought them into Santa Paula at
i 7:25.
The running time of the trip was
12 hours. 56 minutes and the elapsed
(time 15 hours. 18 minutes. Despite
the terrific pounding the car was
j given. only one stop was made on ae
j count of trouble when one of the rear
j casings blew out. The average speed
| maintained for the trip was 32.47
' miles an ■ hour.

Tiring of Too-Kind Husbands
By DOROTHY 1)1X
"What do you think of that woman
Of t West who has just gotten J* v."_'' c ' ?
from her husband because he always
gave her everything she asked for and
never opposed her in anything she
wanted to do?" asked the Stenogra
pher.
"1 think she didn't know a good
graft when she had one, and it should
IK- the foolish house for hers," replied
the Bookkeeper.
"T-e-e-s. Maybe so," said the
Stenographer. "Of course, matrimony,
with a husband like that, would he one
long grand song, but it would lack pep
and ginger, and be apt to get on a
woman's nerves."
Huh, T should worry for that sort
of a woman," remarked the Book
keeper.
"Well." returned the Stenographer,
"consider the matter. What would be
the fun of working a husband for im
ported millinery if all you had to do
was to ask for it and get it? It would
be like taking pennies away from a
blind baby."
"For my part." commented the
Bookkeeper. "I should think that an
clastic limb that could be pulled with
out trouble, or howls of agony, would
be. about the most attractive sideline.
o f desirable qualities that a husband
could carry. At any rate, in all the
ticd-up couples I know, the thing that
seems to annoy the wife most is the
difficulty of extracting the coin from
the family treasurer."
"That's true," agreed the Stenogra
per. "When a man marries he en
dows his wife with all his earthly
goods, but as a general thing she has
to chloroform him to get car fare out
of him . But it's the doing of this that
gives sport and zest to domestic life.
Every time a woman flimflams her
lord and master out of a bunch of the
lung green she experiences all of the
thrills of artistic burglary successfully
pulled off.''
"Did you ever notice how a married
woman goes to work to get what she
wants?"
"She doesn't demand It as a right or
ask it as a favor. She acquires it by
subterfuge. Say she has set her heart
on a new dress. She goes and picks it
out. The next morning at hreakfast
she steers the conversation around to
the subject of clothes. Hubby, being
wise, says nothing. At dinner hubby
perceives that all his favorite dishes
are set before him. Wife observes in
a casual tone of voice that Mrs. So
and So has a new dress. Business of
prcfound thinking on hubby's part.
"Wife remarks what a good, noble,
generous man. and what ati ideal hus
band Mrs. So and So has. Still nothing
doing from hubby. After dinner in
the living room, wife tearful, opines
that she's afraid husband's business
must be had. and if it is of course she
doesn't want to even think about a
new dress. Husband grunts and wife
wipes a few furtive tears away. Hubby
suggests, apparently of his own
volition, that wife needs a new suit,
and wife falls upon his neck in tri
umph.
"Xo do you suppose that woman
would have missed all of that scene
for any money? Do you think she
would have enjoyed having that dress
hurled at her the minute she suggested
she wanted it? Not on your life. She
f< els that she has been a regular
Talleyrand to bamboozle a husbana
into giving it to her, and every time
she wears It she throws bouquets at
herself to think how clever and diplo
matic and deep she is."
"Women are queer fish," observed
thf Bookkeeper.
"Well," said the Stenographer,
"there's one thins: you don't want to
forget: married life for the majority
01' women is a dead level of monotony,
in which they depend on their hus
bands to furnish the tabasco of exist
ence. That's the reason that the too
easy man is not a hot favorite with
women. There is no sport, even if
there is profit, in selling gold bricks to
blind farmers."
"I should have thought that that
western man would have won out on
one count, anyway," remarked the
Bookkeeper, "the no-argument propo
sition. Anybody makes a hit with me
who doesn't contradict my statements
or take Issue with my opinions."
"Women are built on a different
plan." said the Stenographer. "A
woman pines and yearns to be contra
dicted, because that is the only way
she has of finding out what she really
thinks. .A married woman never
knows what she wants until her hus
band tells her she can't have it. and so,
if he always agrees with her, the poor
creature is completely at sea. It takes
opposition to crystallize her opinions,
at.d the husband who refuses to give
tbis firs! aid to the undecided is a
mean old thing."
"And there's another objection to
the too agreeable husband."
"What's that?" asked the Book
keeper.
"It takes away woman's excuse for
not doing the things she doesn't want
to do. 'I would so love to give to your
noble cause, but my husband won't let
me," says the woman squeeze. 'My
heart is with you. and 1 would join
your Society for the Preservation of
Superannuated Cats, but my husband
has such a prejudice against cats.' says
the woman welcher. 'l'm dying to
have you visit me. but my husband is
so nervous he can't stand company,"
says the woman who wants to avoid
ati unwelcome guest, and so It goes.
"The chief advantage of having a
husband is that he is such a good
scapegoat, nind no sensible woman
wants to he married to a man so
amiable she can't even lay things on
him."
"Have women no ideal of a hus
band?" demanded the Bookkeeper.
"Oh, yes," replied the Stenographer
sweetly, "but they don't want to marrv
It."
"Rlght-o!" agrepd the Bookkeeper.
