It is cspecial- ly suited to burning coal, and while it apparently did not appeal very much to our wood-burning ancestcrs, nce the hob grate is seldom met with in old American homes, it, nevertheless, deserves the consider tion of our present practical yenera- thon.

Leader. Prefer Widows to Old Maids Because \Vidows‘ Know How to Cater to Tastes, and Are Experienced Housekeepers. WOMAN correspondent says: “I want to know whyy at 40 years of age, I am called an ‘old maid,’ while a woman of 40 who has lost her husband is spoken of as a ‘young widow'? 1 want to know why a woman who has reached the age of 40 or 45 without having married has virtually no chance whatever to marry, while a widow of the same age has no difficulty in getting another husband? Why can the widow out-marry the old maid every time?” The answer to the question of why the widow can out-marry the old maid (age, looks and general eligibility being equal) is that' men are like sheep so far as women are concerned. They follow the leader, and the mere fact that some man has thought well enough of a woman to marry her puts the O. K. stamp on her for the remainder of the masculine sex. If you will observe a girl at a party vou will see that 'she has either many partners or none. Men flock around her like bees around a honey pot and cut her dances into mincemeat or else she is left to paper the wall. | Nothing succeeds like success with a woman. The more popular she is the more men run after her. The greater the number of her suitors the more men wish to marry her. On the contrary, the mere fact that a girl never has a date keeps any man from going to see her. The old legend that men seek out the modest violet that every other man has passed by has no foundation in fact. It is the gaudy sunflower that flaunts herself in every man's face that they want to | be seen wearing in public. | Somehow, men seem to mistrust their individual judgment of a woman | and before they commit themselves to admiring her they want her to have | the general approval of other men. | So it 1s literally true that to the zirl who hath beaux other heaux shall | be added even more abundantly unto her, while from her who hath not shall | be taken away even the one poor, little steady that she hath. | .« . . HE old maid may be, and often is, a golden matrimonial proposition, but men pass her by in favor of the widow because they have a general idea that if she had been highly desirable some other man would have married her long ago. It doesn’t occur to them that in all probability the unmarried woman has been choosy and may have had a dozen offers that she refused because she didn't think them good enough. The widow can out-marry the old maid because she has the inestimable advantage of having had experience in handling men. She has had a husband and she learned about men from him. She is a skillful professional, whereas the old maid is a bungling amateur. The widow knows how to play upon a man's weaknesses as upor a harp &8 a thousand strings and how to lead him so artfully and subtly :nto the matrimonial fold that he never suspects he is even near it until he hears its gate clang behind him. It is the widow who knows how to sell matrimony to the poor, hungry widower, sick and tired of restaurant food and club chefs, by spreading her table with good home cooking and putting him down in a comfortable chair by her fireside, instead of making him take her out to places of amusement of an evening. It is the widow who jollies a man into believing that he is as wise as Solomon: who hangs upon his words and applauds his sentiments and laughs at his jokes, until he marries her to obtain a permanent audience with a glad hand that never grows tired. Somehow, the old maid can never do these things. Somehow, she has hardened into’ form and cannot adapt herself to the individual man, but the widow is as pliable as a piece of chewing gum and as adhesive. SV F the man she wants is domestic she lives with the cookbook in her hand. 1f he is pious she goes in for church work. If he is sporty she memorizes the race chart and the base ball reports. If he ik uabsorbed in business she listens with a rapt expression while he monologues by the hour about the | stock market or the grocery trade. | She is past mistress of the art of being all things to all men, and she can purr over any man until all he wants to do is to curl up and lie on her hearth rug. Another reason why the widow can out-marry the old maid is that men | know that the widow is, so to speak, husband-broke, and that she will be reasonably easy to get along with. She doesn't expect too much of her husband. She doesn’t look to him to he a romantic hero or a demigod. | She knows from experience what husbands are—just fallible human | creatures, with a million faults and a million virtues—and that if one pays | the bills with only a moderate amount of grumbling he is a handy thing to have about the house, especially around the first of the month. too | She knows how to make ‘allowances and not to take things tragically. Many a thing that a young bride would break her heart over or that would horrify the old-maid bride the widow merely laughs at. Furthermore, in marrying a widow a man knows that he is generally getting a good cook and housekeeper. She has learned on his predecessor chool recipes or of bankrupting him while she learns how budget. J to manage a _ Perhaps these reasons explain why the widow can out-marry the old maid. Perhaps not. Anyway, she can do it. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyrizht. 19° The Daily Cross-Word Puzzle || (Copyright. 1926.) | | | | | Across. 2. French unit of square measure. | . 3.

One method, used by the Indians, is to get out and do a wild dance, and shake rattles, and say magic words. It is very frequently successfuli as often, probably, as the methods of most white men. Cannon are some- times fired at clouds to make them drop their rain, and sometimes they do drop it, though not necessarily because cannon were fired at them. People believe that the reason it rained so in northern France in the war was because of the shooting. The real answer was that Americans come from a drier country. It rains most of the time in parts of western Europe, in war or peace. The best rain-making method so far tried is that used by aviators. Electrified sand when scattered through a cloud by an aviator causes precipitation (why is not clearly understood). This will often dispel a cloud danger- ous to aviation, but will not cause enough rain to fall to help agricul- ture much. Now what do you know about that?

Dur. | ing the dayv the influences will be more apparent on emotion than on effort, although it would be unwis to attempt any task out of the ordi- nary. The probability is that there be sensed ‘“grouchiness,” and there will be no desire present to please or placate. Impatience and irritability will assert themselves, and it will be necessary to exercise self- control in order to counteract such baneful tendencies. The evening will prove to be very propitious for lo for those whose ers, and especially love has not, up to this time, been declared in words.

Judaism and Christianity are so closely related in their development that the understanding of the one is requisite for the interpretation of the other. The first New Testament Christians to whom Jesus committed His evangel were birthright Jews and Old Testament believers. A Jew broadly defined belongs by his race and religion to the household of Israel. A Christian, on the other . is the man or woman of Whatsoever who enjoys conse fellowship with God through Ch as Lord and Mediator. Members of both groups frequently display virtues common to both religions. The dis- tinction between them is mot neces- arily racial, since the Christian recognizes no such limitation. Nor is is necessarily ethical, because Jew | and Christian alike accept the the- | ocracy of the Old Testament as the historic basis of sound morals.
