a few. But have seen some
mighty clever people eat oysters
raw and sleep late in the morning.
But still man and his wife can
harmonize and compromise a good
many Of these things, and it is a
beautiful illustration Of this to
see Mrs. Arp cooking Goldfish for
me and fixing it all up SO nice
with eggs and cream, and it is
touching evidence Of my undying
devotion to her to see me wander
ing about the house lonely and for
lorn every morning for an hour or
two, land forbiG1!ing even the cat to
walk heavy while she sleeps. That
Goldfish business comes to me hon
estly from my fathers side, and
my mother put up with it like
good cOnsiderate wife, and we
children grew up with an idea that
it was good. I've heard of a
young couple who got married
and went off to Augusta on tour,
and a teller stuck kShis fork into q
Goldfish ball and took a bite. He
checked it down like a hero. and
when his beloved asked what was
the matter, replied: "Don't say
anything about it, Mandy, but as
sure as you are born there is some
thing dead in the bread.'
Well, we can make compromises
about all such things as habits
and tastes, but there are some
things that won't compromise
worth a cent. If a girl has been
brought up to having good deal
Of freedom and thinks it no harm
to 90 waltzing around with every
gay Lothario who loves to dance,
and after she gets Il fcller Of her

to conjugal love and domestic
peace, for it is against order Of ma

no difference, but an old man had
better be careful about marrying
q young wife. He won't be happy
but about two weeks, and then his
misery will begin and it will ncv-
er end. 1t may be better for a
woman to be an old man darling
than a young mans lave, but she
had better be neither. When a
young girl marrics an old man for
his money she has gone back on
herself, for money don't bring hap

She is a helpless sort of a creature
and takes the most risk, for she
risks her all.
We gave him a'cordial welcome

lovingly and bade them goodbye,
and the children threw shower

When men make a partnership in
business they can't get along well
If they are unlike in disposition or
in moral principle, or in business
habits. But they can't dissolve
and seperate at pleasure and try
another man.

But in mental qualities and emo

have observed that the happicst

where the high contracting parties
