QUIET HONEYMOON IN THE COUNTRY.
There is an English custom that is gaining
In favor in this country because il avoids
all the embarrassment of the honeymoon
spent In cities. Ii IS simply 70 90 to some
quiet country house where il nobody but a
lew servants. In England this is nearly
always done, the house being given up TO
the bride and groom by s1me relation or
friend. There is not much chance Of being
stared at under these circumstances,
out IL Is a stupid existence to most
Americans, who crave . little excitement
and like TO go TO the theater in the evening
Nevertheless the custom is being followed
m re each year. Some people 20 because
they like the country and others go because
they think it a fashionable thing to do. Ii
Is safe t. sag that week spent in such per-
| fect quiet with no society but their own
will give a bride and groom an excellent
chance TO get acquainted with each another.
II they do not get bored they probably will
never get tired OF one another in the
future.
LIKE PLAYING HOUSEKEEPING.
One popularity about newly married
people Is their modest ideas of what their
domestic establish meut should be. That
hrst house is nearly always snail. They
have an idea thst they cannot be happy
unless they have small parlor and little
dining room that will not seat more than
five or six people comfortably. This dear
little toy house is their delight 1t is like
playing at housekeeping. The servants
give the bride some trou tle it is true, but
after while they conquer her, or she con-
quers them, and there is no more strug-
CLING. But life becomes more real after a
year or two, and if they have the money
their ideas of comfort expand and they get
a bigger abode-one that is not quite so
cunning, but is more substantially comfort
able.
NOT ALWAYS HAPPY.
But is the honeymoon always happyi
Well. generally it is. but sometimes 1t is not.
Happiness is always, we are told by wise
people, greater in the anticipation than in
the reality. Young people, and especially
very young people, expect that the marriage
ceremony will open for them the gates of
paradise, but when they find that it has not
they are cast down and unhappy. Then
there is another trouble. Perhaps t e groom
is thinking solely of his own happiness, and
perhaps the bride is thinking solely of hers,
and when they are married they find out TO
their amazement that happiness lies solely
in thinking the one of the other. Some
times they think each perfection and the
honeymoon shows that they have been over
sanguine, and then they are disappointed.
II the truth were known it would be found
tnat many honeymoons have been disap-
| pointing experiences.
