Wait.


Witt, madam-think twice before
you decide GU that $500 shawl. 1t
is n great deal Of money one dollar is
"a great deal, when people once consider
the amour Of good It will accomplish,
in cnreful hands. Your husbands
business is uncertain there is q finan-
cial crisis close ut hand. Who knows
what that Sl00 may be to you yet?
Wait, sir, before you buy that gaudy
amethyst breast pin, you are surveying
30 earnestly through tho jewelers. plate
glass windows. Keep your money for
another piece Of jewelry-a plain gold
wedding ring made to fit n rosy finger
that you wot OF. A shirt neatly ironed
and stockings darned like lace work,
are better than gilt brooches and fam
ing n~mcthysts. You cant afford to
marry? Wait, and think the matter
over.
Wait, mother, before you speak
harshly to the little chubby rogue who
has torn his apron and soilcd his white
mnrseillcs jacket. He is only n child,
and mother" is the sweetest word in
nil the world to him. Noodle and
thread and soap suds will repair nll
damages; and if you once teach him
to shrink from his mother, and hide
away his childish faults, that cannot be
repaired.
Walt, husband, before you wonder
audibly why your wife don't get along
with her family cares and household re-
spousibilities Gas your mother did"
She is doing her best, and no woman
can endure that best to be sighted.
Remember the nights that she sat up
with the little babe that died remem-
Der the love and care she bestowed on
you when you had that long fit of ILL
ness. Do not thiuk she is made Of cast
iron. Wait-with silence and forbear-
ance, and the light will come back to
her eyes, the old light Of tho old days.
Wait, wife, before you spcnk re,
p%roachfully to your husband when he
comes home late and weary aud "out
of Sorts" He has worked for you nil
day long he has wrestled hand in hand
with care and s%elfshncss and greed
aud all the demons that follow in the
trail Of moncy-making. Lot home be
another atmosphere entirely; let him
feel that there is one place in the world
where be can find peace and quiet and
perfect love.
Wait, bright young girls, before you
arch your pretty eyes and whisper "old
maid" as the quiet winter steals by,
with silver in its hair and crows fect
around the eyes. 1t is hard enough to
lose life's gladnOss and elasticity-it is
hard enough to see youth drifting away
without adding to the bitter cup one
drop of scorn. You do not know what
she has endured you never can know
until experience teaches You. So wait
before you snecr at the old maid.
Wait, sir, before you add II billiard
room to your house, and buy the fast
horse that Black and White and NIL the
rest of the fellows covet. Wait. and
think whether your outstanding bills
arc all paid and your liabilities fully
met, and NIL the chances aud changes OF
lilo duly provided for. Wait, and ask
Yourself how You would like, ten

struggling with poverty, and your chill
drsn shabby aud want stricken, mud
yoursclf II miserable hanger-on around
corner groceries, and one-horso gamb.
ling saloons. You think that is i'm.
possible do you remember what Hazel
said to the old seer: " Is thy servant n
dog that he should do this thing 2"
Wait, merchant, before you tell tho
pale-faced boy from the country /" that
you can do nothing for him." You
can do something for him yOu can
give him n word Of encouragement
word of advice. There was a time
when you were young and poor, and
fricmdless Have you forgotten this
already
Wait, blue-eyed l~assie, wait before
you say yes to the dnshing young
fellow who snys he can't live without
you. Wait, until you have ascertained
" for sure aud certain" as the children
say, that the cigar and the wine bottle,
and the card table, are not to bo your
rivals ia his heart ; q little delay won't
hurt him, whatever he may say-just
