It Is very funny that otherwise Intel ligent women should be so exercised about that Innocent and perfeotly harm leas word In the marriage ceremony. It reminds me of the two brothers of time-honored memory one of whom was extremely prayerful and the othsr phenomenally profane. When, the wicked one waa remonstrated with and referred to his brother ss an example for him to follow, he replied after a few minutes of hard study: Tea, I swear and John craya. but the good - Lord knowa wa don't either of us mean It". . The application of which Is, that In matrimony, as everywhere else, in spite of words and formulas, tne nest man wins. Man or woman, with or without the promise to obey, the one In the conn pact with the masterful spirit will com- j mand and receive obedience. Anv ordinarily observant person whs has bad an opportunity -to study mar ried pairs can testiry to tna tram or this. . .. ; . iv - ft isn't an uncommon sight to see a mite of a woman leading by a atrtng a man feet 3 In bis stockings and weigh ing 250 pounds; It Is not quite ao com mon to see a woman dominated and ob literated by a man, but wa must all of us have' known such esses. , . Wherever two persons are associated,; In marriage or business, no matter In what the one who Is relatively the leader will lead and there's no help for It. except In the mutual recgnltloa of Individuality. . v In marriage, perhaps as never before, women are having their Innings, aad to the casual observer tba average mar ried woman is the one who really sxaots and receives obedience. Of late there have been poor, downtrodden men In the divorce court asking release from their matrimonial bonds oa tha ground or 'Intolerable cruelty." ' Verily the pendulum ssema to be swinging far to ths othsr side, but It will regulate Itself eventually. It waa the writer's misfortune at one time to be acquainted with a married pair of whom the woman was ths domi nant partner. The Impression made was so unpleasant It haa never been wholly effaced. The wife was a tall, stout woman with a atrong brain, and a well-filled one, but a thoroughly selfish heart. Her husband was. a abort, shadowy little fellow, but a gentleman, loyal ana kind-hearted. , He had had the misfortune to lose a considerable fortune and they were re duced to poverty; this had opened ths floodgates of my lady's wrath, and the way in which she bullyragged that pa tient, silent little man was beyond the belief of nny but an eye-witness. But without doubt by lady amaaoa - Empire Gown of Mouaseline de Sott With Lace Tha Bodice la' Drawn In to the Figaro by Braide of Black-Velvet Ribbon.- promised meekly enough to 'lota, honor and obey" her husband. . : . . . Tha pair bad a daughter,' an Intense but repressed young person, who, though never In open revolt, chafed against tha mother'e domination, under which she also suffered, and while It la not probable that father and daughter over spoke - critically of their autocrat, the comradeship and tha sympathy between, them, which was evidently tha result of their common slavery waa beautiful to see, snd waa almost tha only solace either appeared to extract from lira - Like Hamlet, ths wife, and mother waa "fat and scant of breath." and not equal to a long- walk, while both father ana aaugnter were more oa tna grey hound order. " They used to take long ramblea together and oa summer after noons would be gone hours at a time. Whether- or net the woman will ev discover that her selfish dominance lay Ilka a blight oa tha Uvea nearest to her I do not know, , but It waa apparent enough to any one elaa familiar with their family Ufa, . . j, Despite Instances ef thla sort Mrs. John H. Judge, president Of a Society for Political Study aad a wall-known clubwoman, la enlarging on tha slavery of women aa a remnant of the old days of wain an slavery but aha wrttee beau tifully, and while "obey" la that, con nection Is totally lacking force, her suggestion of a substitute is a vary pretty one: . ' '' "Let ua on tha threshold of tha twen tieth century, when our lovely daughter walka up tha aisle oa the arm of her father to become a wedded wife, hear a change in tha marriage ceremony. "Let us hear tha minister say in tonea of grace aad beauty, In place of Who- glveta - thla woman T" -. "Who choose th this woman T Let her place her hand in his. her lover and her choice, ths emancipated, tha free wom- i, his equal before Ood and man. -. "From time Immemorial all nations have had aoma form of marriage cere mony, some outward act of tha parties to declare them married. - - "The first waa forcible If not elegant, aa the savage went out to a neighbor hood tribe with hla club and felled te the ground the woman he wished and carried her off to hla tent. , , "Then came the period when a man sent gifts to the male parent and In return received the daughter. "We are not quite out of that period yet. "We have marriage by capture, mar riage by proxy and free marriage. - "la every country except jknerloa you find marriage by purchase, and when some of our rich parents wish to in dulge In that form, they cross the watsr. v "For centuries - every form of mar riage euatom and ceremony haa bsen practiced, but in our own country ws have laid tha cornerstone for tha true marriage. ' -r . "Here we believe in ths romantlo mar riage, - courtship before marriage, the consent of the woman being asked first aad that of the parents afterward." SPECIAL TRAINING FOB WIVES. While the American clergy bemoan, Oerman laymen are. taking the matter up In a practical way. - They propose g law requiring knowledge of the married state. "If," they ask, "ths young man of Germany must serve the stats for three years In preparation to protect it, why should not ths young- women, who must bring Into the world and raise the coming generation, be required to spend three years - of "preparation for thslr still more Important duties' They say that "the young women of tha em pire should maks some sacrifice for the good Of the state," and.
