Allow me Just word or two in the
ears OF many of the bright girls who
are about to marry.
DO not marry, my dear, until YOU
pnd Jack ha,s. \ sital. batik tttdtnt.
! take it you have had to work for
your own living, therefore you are the
more independent and, TO use q Hiber-
nianism, What is yours Is your
9ERt' g uu ,r. .
The land teens with saving funds: l
hope you have IL book in one of them,
with u good balance in your favor. If
necessary draw out some Of thi. for
your hdtise iiirnisiiitg, BIT iitt all;
leave Il reserve for the rainy day which
may come in the shape, Of ill-health or
we know not what form. Let your
furrlshirg lie simple, but tasts. do not
devote the greater part to a swell car
| pet for your parlOr or 4 walnut suite
for your bedroom. Paint your rooms
around the edge for about two feet,
and have tasty ingram carpet rugs and
| relnetiiber there is much light rood
furniture which is inexpensive and
really charming: .
This suggestion, iffollowcd! will give
you excellent effects. less work and
more health in your family. Buy your
self good and durable clothes. and II
sutficiency to last for some time. In
place OF an imitation seal sacque and a
| hat surmounted by Il cockatoo us big
as a young turkey. select line cloth
coat and, at least, two woolen gowns
and plenty of durable underwear.
\ young girl Of my acquaintance, In
very moderate circumstances. was eX-
tiemely particular to have black silk
dress in her wedding outfit. which was
much coveted by her less pretentious
| friends, but | doubt il she would have
been considered such an object of envy
had they seen her as / did, six weeks
uftcr the wedding, when she enter
tanned me in II much worn Mother
| Hubbard wrapper. and with slipshod
feet which disclosed a,l too plainly the
holes in her stockings; her face wore a
| lugubrious air of discomfort; she had
not found marriage the holiday it
promised to be. As ! looked at her
front door, already covered with finger
marks, ! sighed to think what n little
industry, combined with soap and wa
ter, would effect and what u miserable
future awaited her companion in
,xisery, who out OF the great lottery
had drawn such blank. l will give
but one more illustration out Of possi-
bly, hundred. | knew Il young wo-
man who moved out OF q tasty little
home because, as she told me. she
would rather have Il handsome bed
room snite and q real Brussels carpe,
than whole house to herself" may
say that she lived to miss her husband
rs well as her house, for he, having no
longer n home of his own. began to
look around him, and meeting plenty
of idle people like himself. he soon
found more congenial company than his
lazy wife. Remember how much you
have in your own power; unless yor
/ have married an exceptionally bad
man, YOU can make or mar him. Dc
not be persuaded to marry unless yot
can see your way clear before you.
Then. having joined hands, throw al
your heart, courage and determination
into your work.
| 1t Is for life Make then. / beseect
you. an earnest effort TO secure youl
happiness and his. Give him loving
welcome, an attractive home and n vel
cooked meal. and. above all. let hin
find you fair to look upon. Let YOU
eyes be as two jewels for depth ant
brilliancy. and your soft hair shade ;
brow whereon sweet content shall rest
