TALKS ON DIVORCE
That the gravest danger to our civilisation ia hasty marriages.
which are all too frequently dissolved by the divorce courts, is the
assertion of the Rev. Delmer H. Trimble. When one marriage tie out
of every five is severed by divorce, it means that a mass of dlsor
- ganlzed conscience is let loose which will go far to corrupt our whole
home life.
Dr. Trimble believes that he knows the course that courtship
ought to follow and in the series on "The Home Four Square," to be
begun Sunday evening, at the First Methodist rhureli. South Eighth
and G, he takes for his theme the beginning of tlie home "Courehip
and Marriage."

in "A Pair of Sixes"
"A Pair of Sixes," the brilliant
farce from the lien of Edward I'e
ple, which 11. 11. Frazee will pre
sent at the Taooma theater Mon
day, is full of bright and witty
dialogue and there is not a sug
gestive line or situation in the
entire play. It is a clean, snappy
farce which refreshes and invigor
ates its auditors and send them
away happy and contented.
The story tel.'s of the trials and
tribulations of two pill makers,
who cannot agree as to how their
business shall be run. They quar
rel so often that they finally sum
mon their attorney and tell him
to find some way out of their un
pleasant partnership. A game of
poker is played, the winner to
conduct the business for a year,
and the loser to be the servant.
They agree to this, and "A Pair
of Sixes'' decides the result.
