Its recent victories along these lines have, been substan- tial. It is out for more. The Evening World was the one newspaper which fought long and tirelessly to pry graft and extortion out of the Taxicab Servic It forced through a Board of syllen and reluctant Aldermen a taxicab ordinance which has become the law and which the Supreme Court bas pronounced “a serious and well-considered attempt to remedy the abuses which had grown to such an extent as to make the application | of @ remedy imperative.” | The Evening World exposed the growing evils of Moving-Picture | Shows which carried, worst of all, grave menace to the health and morals of children.

The Rib dropped the sugar tongs into the teapot. “When they make it so KASY that it looks like a confidence game,” em plained the Mere Man, “it naturally makes us suspicious of it.” “But those who do marry,” observed the Rib, “always appear to think they have done something remarkably clever and noble and"—— “Well,” broke in the Mere Man soothingly, “it 18 clever of the woman— and noble of the man, {isn’t it?” “It Is So sy to Get Married.” Pri fe 6 Baar ee Get Marea” 66 your pardon, Mr. Cutting!” | “That {s—er”’—stammered the Mere Man. “As you were say- ing, it 1s so easy to get marricd”. . “That's it's almost a shame to take the certificate!” finished the R&® “Anybody can get married, but only the pure in heart, and in reputation, can get a divorce.” "Whow!" whistled the Mere Man, softly. “Do you mean to imply that the path to matrimony is the broad and dangerous way, and that the path to divorce is the straight and narrow”—— “I mean,” interrupted the Rib hastily, “that the only question they ask you when you apply for a marriage license is whether or not you are twen- ty-one; but when you apply for a decree of divorce, Just LOOK at the ques tions they ask you!” And the Rib shuddered. “Yes,” agreed the Mere Man. “They want to know what time you come home nights, and how you spend your salary, and whom you take te luncheon, and whether you prefer blondes or brunettes"—— “And what your maid thinks of you, and how you get along with your cook"”— added the Rib. “And whether you take your whiskey straight or with soda"—— “And what brand of sachet you use, and what is the real shade of your hair" —— “And how many times you've been in jail, and how you pay your tatlor— and—Oh, well, of course they do!" finished the Mere Mam. “Divorce is @ PRIVILEGE of the ELECT, and they want to know whether or nci you de serve it.” “And marriage {s a PUNISHMENT,” mocked the Rib, “and presumably anybody who {s foolish enough to go into it deserves it. But it does seem funny,” she added with a sigh, “that the only people we can be sure are absolutely respectable are those who have secured a divorce. They've PROVED their respectability,” she exclaimed, plaintively. “They've had their ‘pasts’ dragged out and alfred and Inspected, and stamped with legal approval; but any old rake, or burglar, or peddler, or beggar, can get marzied.” ORR RARE LS { Matrimony Cheap Beside Alimony. 4 Toss so!" agreed the Mere Man. “Divorce is a sure sign of ‘gen, tility’—and ready-money, in these days. You can marry and live together on six dollars a week; but it takes a solld income to live | apart. Matrimony fs cheap, beside alimony.” “And that,” declared the Rib, “is why divorce is getting to be a mark of social distinction and marriage is going out of fashion. It's—why its al- most as bad form to be seen with your last year’s husband as it is to be. .. . seen wearing a pleated skirt, or a Merry Widow hat, or pushing a@ per- ambulator.” “Marriage and giving in marriage do seem to be getting almost as ua: “And yet,” sighed the Rib bitterly, “the reformers are all trying to make it more unpopular still, by making {t cheaper, and ‘urging’ men to marry. Soon they will be giving away wedding certificates, like trading stamps, with every pound of tea.” “Oh, well,” suggested the Mere Man consolingly. “Perhaps they have their reasons for luring us into matrimony, and then trying to keep us there ‘for all eternity,’ by making divorce ao difficult and expensive. Perhaps they are in with the trusts, and want to reserve all the little Ifxuries, like divorce and alimony, for the rich.” “Or perhaps they believe in ETERNAL PUNISHMENT!” surmised the Rib, | I talked of smiles and sorrows and tears In the news of a passing day, But his thoughts were sunk in the eb went years With never a welcome ray, .
