The Woman's Club
There was a time when the mention
of a woman's club brought up visions
of hothouse flowers cards, pate -de
foie gras and a headache. Then came
clubs devoted to the study pf Shake
speare, Browning, art and music all
for the betterment of the woman. Now
that clubs are being formed for the
betterment of the other woman, the
country has cause for pride. And men
are beginning to realize that instead
of the joke they have always consid
ered a woman's club, it is a force to
be reckoned with.
The Woman's Club of Oregon City
has done good work in the past, and
having banded themselves together to
assist in the education of worthy girls,
as well as many other public spirited
works, the city should congratulate
itself on the number of broadminded,
thinking women it evidently has with
in its gates.

III
A MOCK
MARRIAGE
, By R. D. CHATSWQRTH
Copyright by American Press Asso
ciation. 19U.
Though twenty-seven is young for a
man, be feels at that age usually the
first tinge of ennui at bis bachelor
hood. The first freshness of youth
bas gone out of him, and a vision of
a home enlivened by wife and chil
dren looms up before him. ,
Walter Nixon had reached this age.
or, rather, in hiSj case, it was standing
between the period of thoughtless
youth and thoughtful middle age. One
day be was skylarking with a lot of
young men and women when some
one proposed that they should have a
mock wedding. -.
"I'll be the bride," said Jaqueline
Woodruff, a girt who was always first
and foremost In any prani.
"And I'll be the groom," said Walter
gallantly since he was standing be
side ber at the moment, and all eyes
were turned upon him.
Few young people realize that It As
dangerous to trifle with a .wedding,
but it is.
So Walter Nixon and Jaqueline Wood
ruff stood up. ' One of the young meu
of the party asked if they would take
each other for husband and wife.
Walter took a seal ring off his finger
and put-it on that of Jaqueline. the
man who was officiating pronounced
them man and wife. and. amid many
jokes and much laughter, they re-,
ceived congratulations from the others.
No one - considered it anything more
than an escapade, and when a new
amusement was proposed the specta
tors forgot all about the first.
A few days later Miss Woodruff, on
opening ber mall, read a note from
Walter Nixon, beginning "My dear
wife." - It contained an invitation to
the theater and several facetious re
remarks as to her duty toward the
writer as ber husband. It was all
very funny, and somehow it sounded
rather pleasant. She was of a mar
riageable age and since sbe was twenty-two
years old thought It high time
she should be married. Nixon was a
good fellow, able to support a wife
and generally acceptable. Jaqueline
did not know bow much of joke and
bow much of earnest there was in bis
letter, but she felt at liberty to reply
In kind. So she began ber letter "My
dear husband" and signed it "Your
loving wife."
Soon after this Nixon was telling
Cummings. a lawyer friend, about
"the joke." as he called it. Cummings
looked a trifle serious, whereupon
Nixon asked him if be thought any
thing of import could come of it
"The lady." replied ihe lawyer, "if
she were disposed to claim you as ber
husband, might make it very unpleas
ant for you."
"You don't mean Itr exclaimed
Nixon.
"Tou have addressed her as 'My dear
wife.' which is pretty good evidence
In law that you have married her.
Suppose sbe says she considered the
marriage a contract. What are you
going to dt about it with your letter
in her hands?"
"By Jove' I never thought of that
What shall I do?"
"The only thing you can do is to get
your letter and destroy it"
"I'll do it nt once."
That evening Nixon called on Miss
Woodruff for the express purpose of
returning her letter and getting pos
session of his own. She was In a
very becoming costume and smiled on
him pleasantly.
"I'm glad you've come, dear," she
said, with a twinkle in her eye. ."I've
been in an agony for fear you had
met with some accident How could
you remain so long away from me?"
How pleatmnt that sounded! Though
khe words were In fun. be thought be
would like to hear more of their kind.
He would keep up the pleasantry for
iwhile before mentioning the matter
jf the exchange of letters. So he said
something to her that he considered
proper for a husband to say to a wife,
forgetting that it was more appropriate
tor a lover, and it was all so funny
that they kept it up for some time.
Before departing he said: "
"My friend Cummings. says that if
you really choose to claim me I mean
If I really choose to claim you for my
wife I might put you to a lot of tron
ble." "What trouble?"
"Well. I might insist that our mar
riage was srious."
"Well?"
"And yon might" He stopped:
"Put you to a lot of trouble." She
looked down on the floor, apparently
much pained.
"Not that. You might"
"Might what?"
Her voice trembled a little.
"Oh, 1 can't get It out. Don't feel
suit. I didn't mean to say anything I
ttaould be sorry for that Is. nothing
liu should be sorry to hear. I'm aw
rully ashamed. There's nothing to cry
ibout."
There seemed to be an irresistible at
traction in the girl's waist for the
man's arm and an equally irresistiblo
itrraction In the man's shoulder for
the girl's bead. There were a few in
coherent rourmarings. and the cart
was harnessed before the. horse. In
jther words, their wedding had pre
ceded the engagement.
Their friends declared that there
was no need of another marriage, for
Jbey bad Intended to be married by
the first, but the bride bridled at such
in accusation and insisted on a large
tnd rpiendld wedding.
EXCUSES.
Every wrongdoer has a ready
excuse; therefore it is better to re
frain from excusing ourselves, even
with good reason. Toforegoexcuses
is an element of strength.
