keen the season in their wardrobes.
They connect with the weather bureau
when it is possible, but when it is not,
they wear what they have and make a
little weather of their own to match
their rigging. Just you notice now,
and Won will see the woman who sunk her
patrimony in seal sacque last winter
sit down beside a woman in spring Ill

An old maid said to me not long
ago, Marriages nowadays are 1ounoeu
ON money. In times past there were
marriages made in heaven, marriages
where people were longing. for COM
Danionship, and where love eX-
listed" My dear old girl, your
mind is swamped by ira
ditions. Marriage was, is and always
will be one Of the many expressions OF
mans appetite for experiments. Mar
riages made in heaven never got below
the clouds in times past any 0ftener
than they do to-day; the longing for
companionship ached then as hard as
it does now; and, then as now, the TWO
parties in love transaction Were-one
who loves and one who permits himself
to be so treated. Paradise is not be-
hind you, my dear; it is ahead OF you.
Angels, in matrimony or out OF 1t, are
not dead and buried; the raw material
is OH earth now, waiting TO be manu-
featured, But don't try to start up a
factory and advertise it by coming out
in wings yourself. The time is not
ripe, and the weather too UNI
settled. You would only get
Yourself mistaken for ballet girl. aid
would take bad cold. You can neither
revert to the animal, fig-leaf felicity OF
Adam and Eve, nor seize eternity by the

excellence evolution has in store for
YOU. You can only let people marry for
money as long as they will, resting con-
tent in the assurance that lmperceptlDly
we are approaching that blessed c0ndi-
ton of things where there is neither
marrying nor giving in marriage"

They we're married by judge in Da-
llota last Thursday, with the under
standing that the civil ceremony would
be binding only until Easter, when the
sacrament of marriage is to be consum-
mated in the Catholic church. This last
provision is the tribute decaying insti-

Fourth of July, Washington's birthday,
or whatever festive day may be fixed
upon for separation. Fancy, 81, Mary
Eliza, take thee, Henry William, to be

a better scheme would be to regulate
tie marriage sentence according to the
EImira prison plan-make it indeter-
inmate, depending on the behavior of
of the pair. A board of matrimony
might be instituted in each town to
govern matrimonial affairs and bring
up the children. When unmistaka-
bic evidences of conjugal infelicity
showed the reform of welded pairs
they might be released from bondage,
and when the same pair had certain
number of times voluntarily returned to
each other, they might be pronounced
incorrigible and sentenced to matrimony
for life. This is surely an improvement
on the idea of reform in matrimony
voiced by a st. Anthony hill girl at a
progressive euchre party the other
night. She said she thought it would
vary the monotony of married life
wonderfully to manage it as you do
progressive euchre-ring the city hall
bell and everybody change partners.
