The other Eastern ¢ day the girls in a famous ge took a secret ballot on this questior Would you marry for love or money ° ; And almost every girl who voted said frankly that she would marry for money! These young women were not of the clinging vine type. They: were among the most highly edu- cated womeninthe country . . . girls Who can leave school and earn good salaries as teache social workers, magazine writ- ers, private secretaries. They can go into almost any profession Where a man can go to build his fortune. And yet they would throw love into the discard, and marry for money and idleness! How do you explain it? It is a mystery to us. If money could buy happiness the thing we all want . . . could be blamed for wanting it. can't. As wise old Dr. Johnson said hundreds of years ago: “Money can neither open avenues to pleasure . . . nor block up the pas- Sages of pain.” These girls in that college in the East have one thing tolearn . . . that there is*no misery anywhere like that to be found in a loveless marriage. No amount of money can make it bearable . . . any More than beautiful stage settings can make a good play out of one that is dull tragedy!

During the siege of Paris in the war of 1870, out-of-town correspondence was written on very thin paper. This was because mail was sent out in balloons, and space was valuable. Then again, the same kind of station- ery was resorted to in the days of the pony expres. Now the airmail is being extended un- der the direction of Col. Paul Henderson to tap every important city.
