MARRIAGE FAULTS
Elinor Glyn's Remedy This is Elinor Glyn talking now — Elinor ("It") Glyn, who knows more about love, matriage and women than most people. ; 1 'If I could organise the world," she said, pausing for one of her inimitable chuckles, "I would insist that every girl, before she thought of getting married, received a training in: ''Law and logie, cooking, how to •dress, and how to mahe herself look attractive." ■ " The whole trouble with marriage to-day is that too many girls don't bother to prepare for it. "If they have a maid, they don 't / know what to do with her, how to give her instructions, or how to treat her. They haven't any idea how to run their homes. "A- business training before marriage prepares for all this. "If she marries to have a nice young man around her and to have a good iime, she should continue working after her marriage. ''It keeps her from being idiotic all day as well as all night when she is enjoying- herself. "But if she marries with the same idea as we married in my day — to have children and someone to look. after her when she grows old— she should give up her job when she marries."
