Th,s "A the longes. speech F. Il. had ever been T
EnoMn to deliver at one time, aE1 It h2su1aAy
created uutse sensation In the company Ao |
seized this occak!on to deliver 1t, ns I have said
before because Old Blobba WIS aheent The lattef |
Is coufned to his room With patnfnl Illness, and |
II would do yol good to see the courage VIII |
which the old veteran beass bis ser!ons tadls2oal-
tlon, and the calm serenity With which he awaits
the decision OF fate. h2d 10 idea, however, Of
letting Fitz-HeYbfFt on 70 eaaiJ, sod, mach TO MS
astonlshment therefore, l replied To him, as he
sat uneastly twulHgsshIs morstaehe, In wonts TO
the following effect.
Nv dear F1t1-uerbert: cannot allow your very
silly remark to pass unroticed. for two reasons
First. You would never sacr.1ce anJihing In
ua9f5lpR any woman. The woman who na1E.ea
you will do Ill the sacrificing. The hYmenlA altar
In her caso will be cniuenuJ sacriaciA sltaf,
and ehe Will be the Earlanded aud oran2e.hlos-
somed victim, to be carved up with the sac1tueiA
knife You hare everything 10 Eaiu-sne nas

Second, Neither your reason, lor my other, Ia
vulld against marriage. am often Anneed a. tne
EXCUSES men make when trey approach tcs qoes.
don. Brown thinks It Ia too e1pensive, and, OF Al
sllly cxcuscs think tn1s Is the sll1lest brown Is
earning good salary, and yet Brown II tho end
Of The year has 10 more money Than when he
commenced He has expenses g0t cigafb and
ncerschau1ns for suPpers for hia bacnelof 1lenos,
for {ast horses, Tor baskets OF champagne, lof
wagets based On tlines, for the wear and tear
OF clothes, aud for thousand and one
little Items none OF which ne Woalo
or need Incur in married uIe' Then assia
II Brown knew, - any mCllaes
can tell hin, bow taany seasons that 6amo bonnet
Is made over; how II comes out bran new every
srttur md fa!l oy eoue Of those mysterious a.
terat1ons. Of biz Of lace here or fsM 1o~eta
there Of which only women are capable; how thas
satue dress u made over from rear 70 year ~ Inc
cunning hand OF some d1es6maker; how piece ol
lace, which rnsy seem costly at nrs, does duty IN

nected with the gear Of the little folks; and
l Brown further Knew that nine women out OF tea,
uot only In low lio but In high Life, practice thls
! economy, making tho old new, and serving up Ole
l d!shea IN new forms, Brown would ne ashamed te
aflrt such nim5y e1cuse- Marriage Is the cs
sence OF economy. Brown, alone, with t#o tnoa
sand rear lays up nothing. Brown and wife
with the same amount per year. would LAY up uSt
