"THOSE who judge how the rest of | the world is behaving by newspa- | per accounts of matrimonial infelicities and wreckage, probably waste a lot of Tt oo Se oe, Meee, || time mourning the decadence of man— | and woran. Column after column teems with {brisk young women who kidnap hus- | bands not their own; with vamps and | with he-lizards that live by marrying a new bride a month. Constantly the note of supreme egotism comes whining out of these columns: “I loved her; | }couldn’t live without her”; “I want |him; tho married to you, he is my soul- jmate”; my heart, my passion, my de- sire, but nothing at all about my duty, imy self-respect or my sense of decency. | But these tattered, emotional women, these snake man and these silly married Romeos, and those sillier wedded Juli- ets, who moon under balconies not their or ese are but the “news”; they are not America. News is the unusual, the odd, the un- |expected, the below or above the nor- mal average. When you begin to see news stories about women who have |lived with their husbands thirty years }and are still doing so in great content; when you see feature articles regarding married men who mow the front yard every Sunday morning, and take care of the baby two nights a week, then you may know that the world has, indeed, lost home ideals and clean heart im- A WORD FROM JOSH WISE 7 : Remember th’ fly. ‘Th’ more it squirms on th’ fly-paper, th’ more | stichum it collects.

You probably will find that 90 per cent, at least, of your calling list, of your relatives, school mates and neighbors are living happily, sanely, EATTL decently, and that the he-scamp and the she-wanton are a rarity. What you discover amon friends, everybody else will the country, the world, over. Sanity, clean living, binding every | nook and corner of the home together | with countless threads of love and sac: | rifice, these are the elements that make the lives of the vast majority of us, and it is just as common for one man and one woman to get married and live hap- pily forever after as it ever was. These fretted women with pulled eyebrows and strange talk of esoteric) twaddle, and soul affinities, and the art life, and the thrall of destiny; the straight - fronted, slab - sided ters, | with hob-nailed shoes and skim-milk blue eyes—they are of no especial con-| sequence; nature always has room for a lot of queer bugs. These paunchy men with leering eyes and lecherous dreams are just by-prod- ucts; waste matter; fetid stuff.
