TiuTn niore often pick their wolves from the Kills In society In which they ?uove. After eighteen years of daily obser vutlon of the way and habits of pro spective homcmukers, Air. McGlennen has come to the conclusion that prox imity Is the chief determining factor In a mau's cftolce of a wife. In the long and volumtnous marriage records the various averages of the different vocations show that chauf feurs and cooks are attracted by do mestics, while tailors, dressmakers and milliners lncllue toward still closer re lationship. Salvation Army men choose a Salvation Army lassie, the sea cap tain picks a good housekeeper and home body, while seamen genorally fall In love, when ashore, with wait resses who serve their meals. Mr. Me Glennen> believes that good looks and good clothes are not such on Impor tant factor us generally believed ? It is all a matter of environment. The telephone operator Is a favorite with the soldier, also the nurse who min isters to him when wounded. Lunch room proprietors more often marry their cashiers, and so It goes on. What puezles Mr. McGlennen, how-, ever, is why a mariner chose a dent ist's assistant as life mate and how a street car conductor came to pick out an octress for his wife. These ?r,e exceptions to the generaj rule. > " * 1 ? 1 ?: Lied in Attempt to Save Pet. Determined efforts by ladies of high social^ position- to sfnuggle pet dogs without license Into England were re cently described to a representative at the diseases of animals' branch of the board of agriculture, London. It takes the combined intelligence of Scotland Yard and, the customs officials to out maneuver some dog lovers. Recently, on board a steamer crossing to Eng land. a foreign princess was seated on a dock stool and n wind was blowing, A shrewd observer, whose duty lt'wa* to be inquisitive with his eyes, hap pened to catch sight for a moment ol u little dog's wagging tail. On land ing the lady, In reply to the usual question, said she had nothing to de clare. "No dbg, madame?" "Certain ly not." "Then," said her questioner "I must send for the female searchei to have your statement verified." "Ir that case," said the lady,i "If you will allow me a couple of minutes by my self I'll produce my little dog." Which she did. Maki/ig Themselves at Home.

Quite a numbei of them were entertained at private houses ? free to go when they pleased In the daytime, free to, become mem bers of the faiplly when they had tlrec themselves with sightseeing. I over heard two would-be hostesses* talklni of their recent guests. "Mine, too were delightful," one said; "so bappj and so perfe.ct in their manner. But my dear, they had not the least no tion of what war means." "Hdwgso?' "Well, of course, I didn't grudge, bu> it was a little trying to one's nerves Every morning they ate butter wltl their bacon and left half a spoonfu of marmalade on their plates I" Use the Mind Properly. Some people have to be entertalne< all the time. They must have somtf body to put interest into life for them Hours spent alone are eternities. Wis< folks keep pulet about this. Only th< ^rnsh confess to the world how omptj thoir souls really are. They do It bo cause they have no idea what it al means. There will need to be eterna vaudeville or some other show to mak< them at all comfortable. And tin hours spent add nothing to their per sonai growth. It's not -what enters th< ears that adds to life. That may havi little or no meaning. It's what th? mind appropriates and remakes with In Itself that adds to life. And it's th< ability* to keep the mind constants employed that makes* the hours fly It's the Rame ability to use the mini that will fill eternity with pleasure. The 8 word of Prince Maurice.

The trutih about the Gorman failure in submarine warfare h? now being re vealed in publications that no longer cringe under the whip of a<n official cen sorship that was without conscience or honor. According to the Berlin Vossisohe Zeituug, Germany lost 108 submarines during the war, induding seven intern ed in foreign port# and 14 destroyed by. their own crews. This statement fs an admission that 177 were sunk by the Allien* and lost at sea. As most of the U-boata carried as many >men as could be crowded into thorn, the announcement that 3,000 sailors were drowned in the sinking 1h not .sunprising.; buit .the darker tragedy is that the conditions of ser vice on these vessels were so nerve-wrack ing that several thousand sailors lost their reason it ml were cotninirted too ifli Hauu asyluuiH. Ilcre is an explanation oftolie mutinous spirit, that spread through the Iligh Si*n Fleet and at last destroyed its morale. A final cast of fortune in a battle with the Alli?*<l Fleets could 'no 'more be considered. The keeneet and bravest men wore being drafted to the subma rines. but ns the ghaAtHy truth of the horrors of the service became known to every common sailor then refused to Join the U-boats, and in the end discipline utterly failed at Kid. The navy which fri&d been -the pride of the kaiser, was a aeirvice rotten to the core. British officers have spoken contorrrptoualy of the spirit\ that surrendered the High Sea Fleet without striking a blow, but there was no .fight left in it. If a?y other navy had fairly flogged its men into a submarine campaign that was odious in rrs a PSYCHOLOGICAL SITUATION!
