tD A WORD TO TIE GIRLs.-Girls,
TO you the boys look for clean houses,
bright furniture and neat toilets. When
a country boy starts out to hunt him a
wife, the first thing he does when he
goes in is to look what the girl is doing;
if she is sewing. knitting, patching or
darning, he is satisfied with her domes-
tic industry; if he finds her at the wash
tub he is satisfied that i he has clothes
at all he will have clean ones. The next
thing he does is to look around to see
if the beds have clean quilts and pillow
cases on them, how the chairs are ar
ranged. The next thing is to stay fer
dinner and see if she will get it or let
her mother do it; if she gets it, while
he is eating he is noticing how the bis
cult are baked, whether the padding is
good or not, how the hutter is dressed,
etc. If she is tasty in all these things
he stays as long as manners will allow
him, then goes away rejoicing that be
has found girl that suits him, with full
determination of a speedy return.
