Now is the winter of her discomfort
made glorious summer to the married
| hir,.
Coniugal jars are forgotten, marital
misery is banished, household woes are
hushed. In fact, connubial cares gen
orally are put away in camphor, so to
speak, TO be resurrected, unfortunately,
fresh as ever in the fall.
Though ike death, she has all seasons
for her own, the married tlirt has seized
upon the heated term As her special and
peculiar opportunity As an army OF
banners, she goes forth conqueriug and
TO conquer While her uuduIating laces
and cool muslins modeslly invite, her
feathers and furbelows wait warning
and her ribbons rustic defiance. She is
a coquette armed cap-a-pie.
But there are coquettes and coquettes,
and the married hirt is not to be mis-
taken for the single specimen of the
same species. From the tops Of herab-
normally long gloves to the tips of her
preternaturally short slippers she IS
su.-generis. Even such light things aS

ish fall of fan show her for what size
is. The giddy Girl recognizes her with
envy and anguish, the elderly dowager
with discreet dctestatiOn. Both mother
and daughter know her and fear her.
She has marred many a match, destroy
ed manyan air-castle, ruined many a sea-
son.
If genuine cursing not loud but deep,
could kill she would have been dead
long ago. But she is perennial, She
peryadcs all places and spoi's all plans.
She gets a new zcst from the disapoiut-
mcnt of others, and, like the vampire.

hopes. No summer resort is without
her. From the hotel Of high degree 10
the meek and lowly camp-meeting she
is omnipresent. The trail Of the serpent
is over them all
The married firt is not only multi
tudinous, but mult.farious. She is Of
all age, and degrees, Of all CLASSES and
conditions. one season she j. lanyu.d
