WHY soME WOMEN WED.
Some Of tho Reasons Furnished by
One of the Sex.
(CoDyrigh0.


New YORK, Dec 27.-At a fashionable
wedding the other day man said to me,
what do women marry fOrr l thought
little bit aud said, Experience" And
he answered me. "What do you think men
marry forF And told him 1 believed it
was because men thought it was the proper
thing to do, and that although he wasn't
supposed to be a particularly proper animal,
man looked out very much more for the
properties than does women.
WHAT DO WOMEN MARRY FOR?
Women are lovely, exceptionally lovely,
at criticlsing the lack of thought displayed
by another woman, but blessed little idiots,
for the sake or a cause, or for the sake of a
man, they VIII rush ahead aad never mind
what the world says. and it is the man who
generally stops them. He thinks either of
| his business or his social relation, and he
doesn't propose that either of them will be
affected by woman.
You see the day has gone by when a man
would do anything for woman; countries
need to be either very young or very old
when this sort of thing happens, but after
all | can't help but remember that question,
what do women marry for"
Some women marry because they want
home of their own, and these are my con.
illusions:
Some women marry because they haven't
the moral courage to remain single.
Some women marry because they waut a
little more money il their purses and little
larger credit at the shops.
Some women marry because they want
ID put Mrs" on their visiting cards.
Some women marry because their mother
wants them to.
Some women marry because a man has
asked them to and they don't like to say no.
Some women marry for money-money,
and nothing else. These women get the
money and with it great responsibilities
they never dreamed of.
Some women marry because they love
the man, because they want to be his wife,
his friend, and his helpmate; because they
want to MAKE hin. feel that there is one
woman in the world whom he can love and
cherish, and from whom he will receive
love and consideration in return. Because
they want him to feel that if sorrow comes
he has a sympathizing, loving friend close
beside him, and that in the days of joy there
Is one who can give him smile for smile.
These are the women worth marrying. The
others are of little worth and never would
be missed, if they suddenly dropped out of
the matrimonial bonds.
HOW TO HAVE HAPPY YEAR.
l want to wish eyeryb body a happy New
New Year | want everybody to get their
hearts desire, and, more than anything
else for everybody to start the New Year
right. It's yours-white and unspotted :;
you can take the great blotter OF forgetful-
| ness and obhterate all the WEAKNESSES and
sins of the past, and you can photograph
with reinsurance ali its goodness and
kindness. You have got to learn to look
at the world Alright, and to do this success
fully, you and L, my friend want to as
sumo, not the green spectacles of discon-
tent, not those that are TOO rosy and make
all things seem good, bat glasses
made OF the finest and c!earest peb-
bles, and which show to the locker
through them everything as it really
Is. There are times when it seems as if
everybody had on the green glasses that
make envy, hatred, malice, and ali un-
charitableness most prominent, and, again,
because life is sunshiny the rose-colored
ones are assumed. and it is difficult to be-
lieve that anybody is unhappy or in trouble.
Now, for 1891 we want the clear glasses,
we want TO see life, people, books, pictures,
aud beautiful belongings just as they are,
while we know there is sadness, trouble and
misery, and seeing this clesrly we are going,
not only to open our hearts and eyes to it,
but our hands as well. That's what we
want to do for the New Year. That's what
Will make 1t a happy New Year
ARE WE GOOD OR ILL-MANNERED?
Looking out in one way it may be an
nounced that we are at once the most chiv-
alric and the worst-mannered nation in the
world. Too much independence of consti-
tuition has resulted in too much independ-
ence Of manner, and there is very slight
inclination to respect either illness or old
age. Fashionable women go to the opera,
display their charms, or their lack of them,
believe that their throat. like an elderly
chickens, is made beautiful by an elaborate
necklace, talk through an entire scene, and
then when some man who feels that as he
paid for it, he would like to hear the music,
ventures to hiss at the chatty contingent,
they glare at him and conclude that be is
bore. Now, that tribe of women deserve
to be Missed down, and every one of them
ought TO go home with their cheeks flaming
because of the great rudeuess, and for the
coming year study each day in every week
what real politeness is.
TOO MUCH IMPoLITENEss ABROAD.
We are greatly given to talking about
respecting the rights of the nation. We
haven't the least particle of consideration
for the individual. lmpoliteness exists in
every class Of society, and is the one vice
upon which the rich and poor agree to meet
together. Our young girls are in such a
hurry TO have good time, that they forget
the Difference due to older women; our sons
are in such hurry to make moaey and to
DO bowling swells that they never
give thought to the expert
encs Of their fathers whose advice
they don't consider worth having, and
whom they are inclined TO "cAll the old
man" Our servants, treated without any
consideration, are impairment and ill-man-
nered, and the maids lack OF politeness
is only reflection Of hor mistress
breeding. Looking at things through dark
glassesl No. Thiak IL all over with me.
aud you viii soc, as a nation. we are bad
hammered, very bad hammered. aud that
we vii! only reaoa perfect p0liteness wnen
We, as individual think Il due to our folf-
respect 70 show p0lltsness 70 each man,
woman and child.
