"The Rigidly Righteous and the
Graciously Ciood," was the sermon
topic of a Portland preacher Sunday,
and the speaker took to task the Pain
fully Proper who take existence and
themselves entirely, too serious. Too
many express deep isplrltuality with a
long face, and think It un-Christian
to smile In public. There are two
classes under this heading: Their
conscience hurt them owing to past
orncrynesa, or they are getting rcady
to run for office.

The local social whirl Is whirling

Ileal bout would decide that both disputants are nyht if decrees of
divorce were requested and (.-ranted wherever the spiritual, intellec
tual and emotional harmony which composes true love had vanished,
there would he a general domestic situation truly scandalous in its
confusion.
On the other hand to maintain that when marriage settles down
lo the somewhat serious and perplexing business of life. Cupid can not
(.tick around and maintain a certain liveliness for an indefinite pe
riod, is to run contrary to clearly established facts of human ex
perience. Love, like happiness and bmuty, is a relative and somewhat elas
tic term. What passes as divine fin; for some, is scorned as cinders
and ashes by others. True low is the exception, just as true genius
is the exception, but there is a perfectly workable and respectable
substitute consisting of mutual respect, affection, and common sense,
which is able to carry the domestic, ship of slale through the shoals
and reefs of every -ilav existence, without disaster aud with occasional
flashes of beauty and inspiration.
This is an age of individualism. It is also an age of feminism.
I'.olh mark progress in human development no doubt. But neither
contribute to domestic felicity or cohesion. Judge Lindsay, in fact
believes, after years of experience, that under modern conditions mar
riage is a totul failure.
The Judge may be right. !ut we think his experience in a court
of domestic relations, has rendered a perfectly impartial verdict im
possible. "When all is said and done, the success or failure of mar
riage is largely a matter of character. Increased divorce is not a dis
ease. It is merely a symptom. The cure lies not in changing this
law or tliat, it lies in a sterner view of individual responsibility, and
less innate selfishness in human relations.

THE TALKING DRIVER.
JAM ICS I'KACItLOW HlGlWHOW drove his car, and as ho
drove, through face ajar he talked a streak on many themes,
tm concrete facts and obstruse dreams. "This Kinstein stuff
looks good," saiil he; "I'm strong for relativity; I'll back this
l'JUKlein's lino of talk with money, marbles. Mumps or chalk."
"nine evening at the Itluo Front slore we'll thresh out Kinstein
o'er and o'er," I .said, my soul distraught with fear, "but let us
think of safety here. For blitzen's sake look where you drive,
and let us all get homo alive." "I've driven boats for seven
years," James Highbrow said, with furtive sneers, "aud never yet
have I been spilled or passengers of mine been killed. As I was
saying, Einstein's graft looks scientific, fore and aft; the world
must reckon with this genl when it gets wise to what he meant "
Now, as I sort my broken bones aud hand out bass and alto groans
it's sweet to know, where I repine, that Highbrow's hurts are
worse than mine. When we upset he was beneath; men gathered
up his scattered teeth, and pulled a easting from his back, and
