BETWEEN OURSELVES.

Naturally, twas Frenchman that sale
marriage is e,apui for two. In bearing
it or dividing it comes philosophy OF
scandal. There is no better sphere fol
observing the dominant mood of married
life than in the summer resorts, which
would seem to have been devised as 6
relief for the matrimonially weary anG
blighted. The variety and duration Of
relief depends on the length of the purse
1t may be weeks in America or months
and years in Europe. There is what is
called the marine divorce 1t is the
quiet separation of tour abroad, which
is indefinitely prolonged for the education
of children, for delicate health, or any
equally acceptable reason. The result is in
many cases as satisfactory divorce as il
all the courts in the land had granted it.
So common have marine divorces become
so frequent is the spectacle of men
attending to business at home while their
families are in Europe, that very little ex-
PLANTATION is needed or vouchsafed, while
the inference is that foreign travel is in
many instances refined means of separa-
ton.
The financial remedy of incongruity il
wedlock isn't always SO absolute but in
its limited working it is susceptible of
beneficial results. Even short absence
from the friction of constitutional uncon-
geniality will smooth the disposition to
wrangle. Consequently many couples
would find it well nigh impossible to
stand the wear-and-tear of their lives
without these occasional absences. This
holds best of persons who are mutually
attached Notwithstanding sundry discords
and disagreements.
With the reciprocally Indifferent the
breach is SO defined that finances, and not
the emotional, become the chief consid-
Grafton. Indeed before any marital ex-
perience nowadays, aught beyond pc
cuniary view of wedlock is getting to be
deemed rather transcendental So when
| calculation instead of nature and duty
settle the compact, we are after all end
ing the matter only trif1e more aggra-
waited than we began it.
We are told that the human body con-
tains hgmors and acids similar in action
to, and having a like tendency toward
baser metals, as nitric and sulphur
ic acids have, namely, to tarn-
ish or dissolve them, varying IN
quantity in differnt persons.
Of this theory we have abundant proof
in the effects which the wearing Of jewel
ry produces on different persons.
There are multitudes who wear habitu-
ally without any i'll effect cheap orna-
ments with brass ear-wires, while if
others wore the same articles for day or
two they would be troubled with sore
ears; that is, the acids contained in the
system would so act on the brass as to
produce the disagreeable results.
There ere instances where any grade
below eighteen carat has been furnished
in a short time from the same cause,
proving that it is the result of the par
ticular constitution by which the jewelry
is worn.
This whole statement is capital illus
tration of the effect of intimacy with
natures having a tendency towards the
baser elements. They tarnish and make
sores, and it is only the almost pure gold
of some well-tried character which bears
the test of the connubial yoke with dig
nifty and kind feeling throughout. Be-
cause the melancholy fact is always ap-
parent that with love the intellect has
nothing to do. 1t has It's domain in the
sympathetic nervous system-rather than
in the cerebro- spinal nervous system
TIL erefore where loves uncounted re-
sponsibilities are measured from the NOR
al and intellectual side-it requires good
feeling, dignity and controlling principle
to face the situation-at least in cases too
numerous to mention.
Not yours, of course, madam. You and
your husband are the eighteen carat sort
on whom these ordinary acids fall innoc-
uously Your intimacy. wears bright
and true like the precious metal of this
comparison.
Andyet--
Itmight not be amiss to ask GU ques-
ton OF two, just as ifyou were the other
kind-because with all Difference to your
assertion of difference, you are similar in
outward respects. You love White Bear
lake. 1t is your limited divorce from
home which you acknowledge to be irk-
some-not so much, however, as its joint
owner-who is, indeed, wonder of gal
ling insignifcence-and pecuniary sue
cess.
One would be unbearable without
the other, and 1t is healthy to get away
from both, now and then.
1t is this respite which makes liv-
ing with Monsieur, your husband, at all
feasible. The gold in his exchequer
rather than the precious metal in his
character, fguratively speaking, pre-
vents any action of those disagreeable
acids afore mentioned.
At least, all this is the inference from
appearance. You may be the exemplary
exception. You'd have us believe still
