span new clothes. Somehow. when
people get married they generally get
as many new clothes as possible. The
bride and groom have new hats and
new trunks and new busters. Then,
again, they spend money more freely.
When man is in his honeymoon he
generally feels as if he ought TO be gen.
erous. He has a grateful sort of spirit,
and throws his money around As if he
wanted to show that the world has
used him well. He has put BY his
money for the occasion. AM is not
afraid to spend it. He is specially
anxious that the bride shall eat and
drink of the best. He lave room
with private parlor. and not up stairs
very far, and with good view. Some
these things, but when we suggest them
he always says Yes of course it is
part of our business to suggest them.
I'VE consider that we have the same
right to pluck a newly-married couple
as an undertaken has to pluck bereaved
relatives"
"Do they behave differently from
other people,"
IL should we'll, YES. The husband
does not run off to the bar room or the
billiard-room. as the old married men
do. When the old married couple ar

thing the husband does is to take
drink or lounge about the billiard ia

business to attend to-"

boardcrs had left. haves seen as many
rs dozen at a time file into the dining
room, irving to look as il they had not
been married yesterday. but casting
furtive chances about TO see if they were
suspected. The men were specially
watchful lest somebody should be
ogling the brides. One day l thought
we should have a fight in the dining
room. A strapping big fellow from the
West in a new suit of store clothes sat
down to the table with his bride, buN-
UNI brown-eyed beauty. She looked so
fresh and rosy that she could not but
attract attention. and she got it. Every
gentleman in the room took more than
one look at her. and she knew it. Of
course she did not object. But the man
began to get angry. He did not like to
speak to the bride about it, because she
was evidently not displeased. Finally
he got up and walked to the nearest

said:
look here, stranger, I'd like to
know what you are staring at my wife
for?'
Your wife, Allow me to congrat-

got the finest wife in the city, said the
gentleman addressed The fact is. /
thought she was your sister. Excuse
me if was rude; but if you don't want
people to look at your wife, you really
must never take her out in public. No

The bridegroom went back to his
