JOHN B. WATSON, the famous psychologUt. says that men and women have both got bored with being permanently bound to each other and that In fifty years society will discard the effete institution of marriage.

So I gave un niv position and looked around "A large store in Newark wanted me. I knew it couldn't pay me more than I received in tha position 1 had left, and again my field would be restricted. 'Then how about being advisor of three shops, sort of a group fash Ion the head of the Newark store suggested. 'My store will be one and we will get two "Here was exactly the opening I had been seeking.

If I could serve three, well I might grow to serve a half dozen with proper experience. Three weks later I started with Newark, Boston. Chicago and New York. At the end of six months there were a dozen. At the end of the llrst year the number had grown to 2ft, coast to coast.

Our year finds us climbing toward the hundred mark and the Hist hundred, you know, are the hardest?" While we chatted a collection of quick-walking, quick-witted girls circulated through the offices, which are done in the modernistic style, so modernistic that we suspect the modernists haven't even thought up anything as far ahead of the parade as this stylist's scheme of workshop decoration. "Our Tobe explained, "is based on having the right thing at the right time at the right price. But we do not actually have any of these things ourselves. We simply inform our clients where they can be found. ANTICIPATE WANTS "We just anticipate what women will buy and tell our clients where It can be obtained so they will have It on hand when their customers call for it.

It can't be guess work, either. We must be about 90 percent right. "Once every week, on Wednesday, we send out reports, one on fashions, tne other on home decorations. We have six fashion scouts gathering the news where the news is latest, and four scouts on home decorations. I go to Europe twice a year and send three scouts abroad.

"Manufacturers come to me with their new creations. I look at 40 or 50 new lines a week, between 4.30 and 8.30 in the afternoon. One manufacturer of silk told me only today that he sold 28 pieces or a certain color I recommended the first three days after my report had gone out. It's fun to do things like that. It gives you confidence in yoruself." For the benefit of those who doubt a business woman can be a good homemaker, Taube Coller Davis likes her home a whole lot better than any place on earth, and spends as much time In it as the perpetuation of a happy marriage and a penchant for housekeeping require.

AfARRIAGE, as it is practiced, is far from meeting every human requirement, but it is the best arrangement we have yet been able to devise for the association of the sexes, and the trouble with those who wish to abolish it is that they have nothing to offer in its place that is half so good.

By JANE DIXON lyjIEN Rhe was graduated from eol-lege Miss Taube Caller, of Milwaukee, didn't qulto know what to do next. So she eat down and tried applying to her own life some of the principle of psychology she had learned In school. "I'd rather work than marry," she decided. So Taube Coller traveled to New York, where the Held was broad and open, and went to work for jl2 a week, she wasn exactly a secretary, because she couldn't take shorthand or operate a typewriter.

K(r hafdxoo transient guests, here today and gone tomorrow. Nor can you vision children having any respect for parents are being forever swapped on them and who are being continually presented with a new papa or a new mamma. CONDITIONS are bad enough as they are, with our divorce mills running overtime turning out a ghastly grist of wrecked homes and the half-orphan children who recruit our hoodlum class, for statistics show that the large majority of youthful criminals are the offspring of quarreling parents who have broken their marriage vows and separated. But a world in which there were no permanent homes, no eternal altar on which the fire never went out, no honest-to-goodness, never.changing fathers and mothers, would be a world of chaos. A NOTHER reason given for abolishing marriage is that the mere knowl edge that they are bound together and a woman's heart, and that the it iree.

was mere a greater kills romance is not matrimony but only ArOU cannot keep up illusions about the one with whom you live and whose every weakness and fault you fathom with pitiless exactness. But the shrewish, vixenish, slovenly mistress has no more allure for a man than has the shrewish, vixenish, slovenly wife. The brutal, cruel, selfish lover God save that word! has no charms that the brutal, cruel, selfish husband lacks. When men and women cease to be lovable Cupid quits on the Job, whether 69c Suits Plain Dresses Wrtfirirmn i M. Kit ILIKDSON tney are legally bound to each other or not.

IT IS a fallacy that love thrives better outside of the matrimonial field A than within it. and that there is something peculiarly strong and tender in the tie that binds the unwed together. On the contrary, love 99c Is a domestic flower that strikes its deepest roots at a doorstep, and the real tie that binds is forged by the priest at the altar. 'THERE are many reasons why this should be the case. The first is that there la something In the mere fact of being married that makes us feel settled and keeps our fancies) from roaming.

Then comes our vanity that enhances the value of anything Just because it is ours. The same spirit that makes us feel that our automobile Is the best in the world makes us spread the halo of possession over our husbands and wives and endow them with superior charms. Fancy Dresses, Overcoats Or Patronize Your Neighborhood Branch: 23rd Street East Near Safeway Store. Roxy Theatre Building 634 Broadway-Opposite Victoria School "YOUR MONEY'S WORTH" AND, above all, our husbands and wives are endeared to us by associa-tion, by the struggle we have fought through, shoulder to shoulder, by sickbeds we have bent over together, by graves we have wept over, by memories of Joys and sorrows and triumphs and failures that make the old husband and wife literally one. 'THE men and women who are not married, who have no tie but a passing gust of passion, are bound by a pack thread that breaks under the slightest strain.

They never know the real peace of love, for their love is always full of fear of change, fear of age. fear of disenchantment, fear losing out. Especially is this true of women, for there Inevitably comes the day when youth is gone and beauty dead, when one's wand of enchantment Is broken and one's magic love philter used up to the last drop. A SSUREDLY marriage has many faults. It does not always bring happiness to the individual, but It stabilizes society.

And it enables men and women to make the sort of homes in which the children are reared who must carry on tht torch of civilization when we are gone. DOROTHY DIX. Dr. and Mrs. W.
