Page Eighteen, THE DEOATTJB REVIEW Sunday Morning, November 1004. SCHOOL FOB BRIDES It is in Philadelphia that a school for brides Is to be opened. The prospectus Isn't out, but the supposition is that the institution will fill a long-felt want in the lives of youns women who simply couldn't wait to be married, and who had neglected most of the preparatory steps. are some suoh. They look mighty sweet clad In white, smiling divinely and saying "I will" a tremulous whisper, while a tear slips down a pink cheek.

For a little while they board. It is unsatisfactory. There isn't much home to it, and it takes a lot of loving to cover the coffee spots on the table cloth and make the soggy biscuits seem like angel's food. There Is nothing that makes a newly married couple yearn for a of their own like life In the average boarding house And then they get the home. There isn't much money.

They realize that they spent more than 'they should on wedding fixings, and Charley discovers that he must give more attention to business and less to household matters if he is to continue to draw his weekly stipend. The Blrl who doesn't know how to cook and dust and sweep and make beds and run a home is miles deep in a hole. She is going to realize it sixty-three times a day and have a little weep every time the awful fact comes home to her. She is going to read a boon nr.d feel more hopeless every time she goes over a recipe. She is go- Ing to lose some of her pretty looks and a god deal of her sweetness while experimenting in the kitchen over a hot stove, and unless she has the disposition of an angel, and her husbanc is ripe for a halo, the first quarrel wil occur at mealtime with poorly cooked "grub" for its foundation.

There should be no necessity of school for brides. There should be no marriages without the home education necessary to make them successful and happ. But things are not what they should be, this world, and so let's hope tha the Philadelphia experiment will prove success and that a host of girls wil" lie graduated into useful wives.
