JV ARIAN sighed with relief when I Mrs. Lily purred her word of fare well and left. Then she crumbled tip the newspaper clipping which the other had left, and sent it spinning into the waste basket. "That for divorce statistics!" mut tered she. as the wad of paper hit its mark. "What do I care if every mar riage winds up in the divorce courtT These b,usy-bodles make me' tired," she added mentally. . . , one dropped into her rocking chair. and reached for the evening paper. Idly she scanned the pages; the day's tale of murder, street nghts, disappearances, arrests, and- the like did not Impress her. Suddenly, however, her attention was arrested. These -were tbe head lines: "Drastic Attack Upon ' Easy Divorce." "Good Heavens," she groaned, "can't I ever get away from the subject! Di vorce, divorce, divorce! Everyone's having his say! Well, let's see what's the latest, she mused beginning to scan the article. A Philadelphia clergyman's interview was the basis of the article. "Feminism runs to hopeless hysteria," she read ."Feminism, so-called. Is one of the chief causes for the enormous increase in the divorce rate. ine highest divorce rate of any country in the world obtains in Japan, the interview ran, "and the next high est is found in the United States. One out of every twelve marriages in this country now ends "in divorce. When the divorce movement attains to its modern proportions, we believe that personal, family and social life is threatened and debased beyond pallia tion. A gusty and passionate courtship may furnish material for a romantic novel, but it is a poor foundation for the happy and abiding union ot two lives. A surrender to mere physical attraction, fine clothes, aih. delightful conversation is not' the stud of which conjugal love is made. , Marian's gaze wandered down the column, where a sub-head, -"The Rem edy," attracted her attention. Casually she glanced through the following remedial propositions: "Pledge to wai for a year after engagement before marriage in order that both parties can get an emotional and mental breath (two-thirds elimination of the cases from the divorce courts is predicted i this plan Is followed out); put the idle rich to service or brand them as moral Idiots; elimination of hasty, indlscree or clandestine marriages; single stand ard of sex morality; a certificate from I The Shredded Wheat Company, reputable physician required from both parties to the marriage contract. showing them to be physically and mentally fit for mating; remedying ot housing . conditions; uniform marriage and divorce laws; a true conception of marriage." thoughtfully Marian let the paper drop into her lap. It came over her that there was something radically wrong with- the laws of a country which married and divorced its people In veritable job-lots, and thereby in flicting upon hundreds of thousands of women much the same woe that it had Inflicted upon her. For a moment sbe felt herself dwin dling into the merest atom of the big. far-flung social body. She smiled cyni cally as she thought of scholars and publicists thinking of and for women of her kind. Her effort to generalize. however, was brief. She was not used to the process. She had never thought very seriously in terms) of social prob lems regarding the masses, but mercl; In terms of her Own individual prob lems, regarding herself. Few vomer are able to do otherwise. Their Intense ciinrvrn with their own personal prob lems narrows their horizon. "Oh, pshaw," she inused. "I'm sick and tired of Introspection." She put on lier things, and boarded a. street car without definite aim. The blazing sign in front of a downtown theater riveted her attention. She bought a dollar seat and entered. The play was of divorce. She smiled grimly and settled back Into her chair. Could sho never es cape the haunting subject? (Tomorrow, Marian' discovers a plot.) ZAlks On DOMESriCSCNC .

THERE are a good many recipes to choose from, since different mak ers have different tastes in regard to the exact amount of bitter, sour and sweetness in the flavor of the wine. The following are typical not only of dandelion wine, but of similar "home brewed" drlnka made with cowslips, coltsfoot, elder blossoms, woodruff, daisies, clover, marigolds and so forth. The proportions may be varied a little, provided always that the liquid is not made too sweet for easy fermentation. None of these home-made wines are particularly wholesome, in spite of their traditional reputation.

In using any flower petals for "wines" or "beers" or "complexion waters" care must be taken In picking so that none of the green part of the stalk or of the cen ter of the tlower is, used, but fresh petals only. Some makers pick the petals carefully and after measuring, dry them quickly In the sun and save for future use. Marigold petals dried In this way are an oln-fashioned "soup seasoning." &: : Bis i.. : i nil As-' Jl' -il l : i I'i' ! NNi1 !'r i-i' ' ! s d i! l't - ; ;'! ii i' Vii iii' ? S i . -i , i i v. ':;(.
