DON'T DELAY THE WEDDING
DAY!
(By Dorothy Dix)
How long should a couple be eta-"
gaged? Just long enough to get
well acquainted with each other, and
not long enough to wear off the- ro-
mance. The couple who meet `'in a
train and alight at the first station
to get married are no more foolish
and do not stand much, less chance of
happiness thanthecouple wlio drag
out their engaagement several years
''until 't is so attenuated that it breaks
when}the•first strain is put upon it.
Ainan has no no business to ask a
girl; -to marry him:until he is in a
1? 9n
ositi to name the wedding day and,
the girl is a fool if she accepts hint
and ties herself down to a bargain
that is bound to be a losing one for
her . Nor does the long .engagement
work out more happily for the man
than ha ,
n it does for the woman. Some of
the most pathetic tragedies- in the
world have been the result of a young
man who is starting out, in the world
to seek his.fortune binding himself to
marry a boyhood sweetheart.
He went his way, 'developed, grew..
e met brilliant and sophisticated
women -Who were fitting:partn..ers for
the rnan he had become. But he had
\ tied a halter around his neck when he
;had ; engaged himself, and it - drew
him back to his •doom. In all honour
he felt he was bound to marry the
woman who had -waited for him. He
would sooner have gone to his own
funeral than to his wedding, but hero-
ical!ly he made the sacrifice that doom-
ed them both to a life of wretched-
ness.
In matrimony, most persons have,at,
least the peace that comes from pos-
session and having things settled.
They also acquire a cerain philosophy
thatenables them to make the best.
of each other. On the other hand,
an engagement, from its verynature,
is. a season of long drawn out sus-
pense and anxiety that is.full of fears,
suspicions and jealousies:
The man and the woman have no
real rights, no tangible hold on each
other. • Therefore, they- . are always.
on the lokout for danger, 'real or fan-
ciful. In, every abstracted mood, they
see coldness or studied insult. In'
every little word hey perceive deep
dark and sinister meanings.' Every
attractive woman or man that crosses
their path ,they behold4ith jealousy.
Each one is forever suspecting tha
• other of growing weary, and it`gen-
erally ends by both parties growing
deadly tired and disenchanted.
They have seen too much of each
other to keep at the high, tension of
lovers and not enough to develop the
comradeship of husband .and, wife. As'
a matter of romance, as well as coni -
mon sense, six monthsis the limit of
an engagement, and three months
better, for the long engagement makes
for nothing but disappointment, heart-
breaks and anxiety, and rubs the gilts
edge off matrimony as nothing else
does.
WAYS WITH. RAISINS
(By Barbara;B. Brooks)
So many recipes can be dressed up
by the addition Of raisinsthat it.
seems unecessary to mention that
fact here. However, it has been our
experience that homemakers can ,'al-
ways learn something from each oth-
er and enjoy an exchange of ideas,so
we dare to tell some of our ways of
using this versatile fruit.
First of all, there is the old fash-
ioned creamy ride pudding. Raisins
add both color and flavor to a whit
dessert. Do not put the raisins in
until the last half hour of baking,
otherwise the fruit acid may cause the
milk to ctirdle, Next, there is corn-
starch pudding—dignified by the name
"Blanc Mange." If this dessert is
sweetened with brown sugar instead,
of white and raisins added,' it becomes'
a caramel fruit puddding which makes
a pleasant . change from the usual re-
cipe.
Gingerbread is made better by the
addition of raisins. Below we are giv-
ing our favorite recipe for Bran Gin-
gerbread with raisins.
Raisins may be added to cabbage or
eorebined with apples and celery in a
salad . They may be put in the centre
of baked apples with sugar and china -

In addition 'to these ways, we put MAN AND WOMAN ANALYSED
raisins in bran muffins, in spice cakes '
and in -yeast bread. The advantages (By Bernard :Hollander M. D.)
are that raisins add variety to the Man's brain is strongest in the re-

TRIAL MARRIAGE ON AN
INCREASE IN RUSSIA
W tG2IA1NC AbVANCV11100
It the
sPoneg out
Trial marriages' are becoming in-
creasingly numerous throughout Rus-
sia, due to the abolition of all church
and civil ceremonies.
In many instances men and women
were married one week, became tired
of one another the next week and
promptly obtained divorces so second
trials could be made with other pers-
onsc
Durin gthe short time the new Sovi-
et marriage code` has been in etfect,
the number of registered marriages in
Leningrad alone has decreased 75 per
cent, while the number of divorces
has increased 8o per cent, .the daily
average being about fifty-seven.
The sharp decline in' marriage is
attributed to the new regulations ex-
empting newlyweds' from registering,
their union , with the state, common-
law marriages being sanctioned. The
increase in divorces is due -to • the
ease with which the unions can be
dissolved.
The guardianship of children does
not appear to be a serious problem.
Eon , example, one woman with, five
children, applied for a divorce. Her
husband made no protest.
"What shall we do with the child-
ren," asked the "divorce clerk.
"He can take the two boys," said
the woman\sharply, pushing the boys
toward her husband, "They'll prob-
ably prove to be as big hooligans as
he is. • I'll take the three girls,..

A Woman's Insight
Man begs wth words, woman with
glances and tenderness: Often she has
more strength in her looks than pian
has in, his laws, and iniore power in
her tears than man in his arguments.
Women readily enter into the feel-
ings of others. Charity is a female
virtue. Woman's sensibility is so
keen that she enjoys much, but also
suffers much. She is gttick to feel
the sorrow of others andto read by
the slightest external. sign what 'pass-
es within them. For example, worn--
en
ont-en will see at a glance whether things
have gone well-or'ill with a man, and
whether he is•pleased or worried, and
especially whether he loves her still.
Woien being more emotional ' than
men and the feelings being more last-
ing, they cling to established customs
and :are. conservative. They cannot
hear to part with anything they have
seen grow up with their family, and
they ars tenacious as a rule in their
religious beliefs.
The violent woman hates any violent
lent change, new laws and regulations
and she keeps up lass distinctions.
Whereas men of all positions .in, life
will congregate, not so women. They
are more particular.
The failings of men are those4 of
strength; the ,failings of, women are
those of weakness,.., Man has a strong
temper; woman has a quick' temper.
She is not so strong in body as a man
hence she can give vent to her anger,
not by brute force, but in language
only, therefore the ready volubility of
her speech. Thus it has been re-
marked
e-marked.that, though a. -.'woman's tong-
ue is only.thre inches long, she can,
when bad tempered, kill with it a six
foot man, The violent passions and
impulses` altogethed are stronger in
man. Men are more methodical, wo-
men are more tactful. Men make
laws, but women make manners. Fem-
inirie:taste is ,proverbially good. They
will make things beautiful with little
material, and oftimes in the . poorest
surroundings. Women love personal
decoration.
The Success of Marriage
A man in love is in a hurry, II.Q
rushes through all the consecutive
phases of emotion as if be wanted to
get it over with, Woman wants to
linger on .each step, Man loves little
and often; woman much and rarely:
Woman will sacrifice•her whole exis-
tence on the altar of love; the man
will sometimes sacrifice the woman he
loves like his very soul: to gratify his
ambitions. So long as woman loves;
she loves continuously; but man has
lucid inervals.. This is because man
has more to do than women and comes
more in contact' with the realities of
life, so that he cannot allow - him-
self to be captured by his inclinations.
There, would be more real love be-
tween husbands and wives and there
would be fewer failures in marriage if
the mental 'differences of the two sex-
es were better understood. The suc-
cess of marriage depends on mutual
adaptability,. There must be "give"
and "take" and this is impossible
without a knowledge of each other's
dispositions,

great essentials of the ideal radio—(1) Total elimination of all batteries, (including chemicals,
chargers, and other attachments) (2) Simplicity of tuning, control (3) tone quality and power.

This particular model is the result of three years steady research and development and represents,
we believe, the greatest radio value. in Canada. It operates direct from any light socket, on either
25 or 60 cycle alternating current. You, simply
connect a ground wire, then "Plug in—and tune
