mouselike, smaller sister. Ii very
often occurs that little women are
tremendously determined, whereas the
elephantine maiden takes after her
prototype in docility as well as in size.
IL men have no sisters suitable to be
consulted in so delicate a matter as
marriage let them take counsel with
some honest, trustworthy married
woman.
We do not underestimate the great
blessing Of love, but, only recognizing
the great difficulty rich men encounter
in making sure OF il, we would warn
them against trusting TO inclination
only. Their position being so extreme
~ critical. they must take double care
to discover if the wives they choose
are really good, generous women.
We would also Implore people who in
tend to marry to make sure of mutual
respect and great sympathy. Those
who are in perfect harmony with each
other may represent widely different
notes; but if they jar AT all. or bore
each other. then let them draw back
ere it is too late. Loneliness is far
more endurable than an ill-assOrted
marriage. The queen.

was noted for her conversational

proved a match for her Her satire
was met with sparkling repartee, and
her wit and humor for once found a
fair exchange. When the ladies had
withdrawn, Lord Randolph turned to a
friend and said enthusiastically:

union Lord Randolph secured wife
