"Talk about common sense In mar
riage." said the cynic, "it's all bosh!
There is no common sense in it except
for marriage of convenience. If you
want to get married go to the country
In summer and become frivolous. The
lower you let yourself down into frivol
ity the more chance of your mating.
"Take my friend P:i il Robbins. for
Instance. Paul was worked out one
spring and ou the 1st of July be took
off his brown linen c ut. the sleeves of
which he bad used fur a penwiper,
bung it up in the closet and took the
evening train for the seashore. If
ever a man left care behind Kobbins
did. It seemed to him that he would
explode with delight. Though he ar
rived at his destination at 11 o'clock
ou a dark night, he couldn't wait till
morning for a bath. When he had
bathed he sat up with the girls on the
piazza till the last one went in at 2
a. m. Theu lie smoked with the Ihjj-s

"Bobbins found nil kinds or ooaiing

and girls to enjoy them with. He
Joined a special party full of 'Old
Nick.' not one of whom had a serious
thought in his or her head. There were
six fellows, six girls and six flirtations.
Nobody considered the flirtations seri
ons; they were just for two weeks? the
simplest kind. Bobbins and a seventh
girl arrived the same day. both Joining
the party of frivolers.
" "Well.* j^ld Paul 'I suppose PL'

She's the only one not spoken for."
" 'I suppose.' sai.l Miss Spicer, that
