What Sort of a Man Is It Safe For a Girl To ? Ten ‘‘Safety First’ Marry e Guide Posts on the Right Road to Matrimony Expldined by Rev. John M. Moore ~ By Ruth Snyder. Copyright, HAT sort of a man is it safe This is a new angle f\YV/ interesting problem of mari Marriage have often asked themselves the well enough to marry him?" & marriage with me?" BuT— How many, girls have ever asked themselves the question “What kind of a man is it SAFE for me to marr SAFE and LOVE. Two little words with but ters—but how much they mee The Rev, John M. Moore, pastor of the Marey Avenue Baptist Chureh, at Marcy and Putnam Avenues, Brook- lyn, has given much thought to this angle of the problem. In his cozy and busy little sought to ex- posts he has is seck- at work- foom at the canrch he Plain the ten guide marked down for the girl wh: ing the right road to matrimony These ten guide posts begin with the word “Don't*—but too much stress must not be put upon t word Itself. It is just a “be careful sigh Here are Dr, Moore's ten ‘*Sufety First’ admonitions: 1. Don’t marry a man you don’t know thoroughly. 2. Don't marry a man you ex- pect to reform. 8. Don’t marry aman you don’t love intelligently or who does not love you the same way. 4. Don't marry a man who doesn’t respect womanhood. | 5. Don't marry a man whom ether men and children dislike. 6. Don't marry an egoist. 7. Don't marry a man who ean't support you. 8. Don't marry a man who hasn't any sense of humor. 9. Don't marry a man-who is ‘not of approximately your own age and interests. 40. Don't marry a man who has led a fast life. “Now, these must not be taken too Nterally,” insisted Dr. Moore. “If the man you love falls down om one 0 these points that {s no reason why you should give him up. Suppose a man has led a fast life, for instance That doesn't mean you should not marry him. Many a man has led a fast life and reformed. But a girl should not marry the man with the {dea of reforming him. She should make sure that it is safe for her to marry him—that he has givea up this fast life—that the safety of her chil- dren is certain, &c.' “And—as—to—'Don't 'm who can't support you? asked. ‘How fur should money factor? “If a girl has been was be a used to a life of luxury she should hesitate before marrying a man who is not able to give her everything she is accustomed to having. If she loves him well enough to take this into consideration before marriage — very well — #0 ahead, But she should remembe or good.’ F should fi that she is marrying girl when she marric on being married fifty years “ow long would you say a girl should be engaged to a m Dr. Moore was then asked. “Long enough to know him—to know his family—his surroundings— his home atmospher' was the prompt reply. “I believe w girl should know something about the man’s brothers and sisters. If they are not the right sort she should think the marriage question over carefully. “A girl's desire to marry is her response to that which is high and holy in her, She should allow no cheap sense of shame to interfere with her desire, She should rebuke eheap wit. “The desire to marry should have a three-fold aspect antl I defy any- one to name three better aspects,” Dr. Moore challenged. “First is che desire to love and be loyed. Second fs the desire to have a home of one's own. Third is the wish to have ehildren.”" “Suppose a girl were really and truly in love with a man and found out that he fell down in the majority of your ‘don’ts'’—should she forget her love and not marry him?" the pastor was asked. Dr. Moore started—and laughed. “Here—you will have to help me out with this,” He appealed to the young woman who assists him with his work, ‘Here is a hypothetical girl in love—but confronted with too many danger signals. What should Bhe do?” “Love, of course, is the big factor in marriage,"’ he was told. ‘But in- telligence should be combined with love. The girl must love him weil enough to surmount all these diflcul r # ‘Well, how old should a girl be to intelligently figure this out?" was the Rext question . “TE would hesitate Lo name any defl- { 4 } * 1922 (New York Evening World) by Pr to the “Is his love big enough to carry girl to marry? frequently mooted and particularly Young couples contemplating questions: “Do T love this man him through “What kind of @ man should I marry? nite age," Dr pends on th at cighteen of thirty at eighteen will never t ay that ge for Moore replied. “It de- sirl herself, Some girls are as intelligent as girls Some girls are old maids id some women of fifty Nd maids, But 1 should twenty is about the right the average girl," “The man whom it is for « girl to marry,” Dr, Moore summed up, “is the man whom you know to be clean, capable and chival- rous; whom you love and who loves witively safe you; a man who has self-control, a saving: sense of humor, and, most important of all, a man the etamp of Whose life and chureh ideals, charac- ter and habits a good woman is will- ing to have her ehildren bear."* Dr. «Moore has sume very ing ideas on the subje of a girl it safe f marry?"

Up to the point of Charley Steelo's supposed death in the river, the story, in the main, is solutely trues “In fact, in the court room scene, it was a woman, not a man, who was on trial for her life, When Steele got her off on jhe argument that the law should prove to the last shred of evidence its right to take human life, she went up to him and said, ‘O, sir, T thank you!
