Now it occurs TO NE that men
rather do have TIE best OF it in the
newspapers, unless it is merely IN The
soc ely column, aud yet with their
peculiar characters les it is not an
easy task 10 provide anything that
vii please al of ibe fair sex. But

know that he is vocipg benny e.
perience with Will has ,aught me that

obstinacy when he discovers that his
wife is trying ID mould him which is
not conducive to domestic peace and
