tan carries off the palm in having the sexes

the children.
But alas, for TIE men who venture TO go
20 any of the aforesaid places, unless they
are fully provided with a stock of the
wherewithal to go treat in right honorable
style, for the girls are merciless, and declare
that if they cannot have quantity they
must have quality. and therefore the man
VINO ventures among them must do the
handsome very handsomely. Three to one
as shown in the picture is very fair repre-
sentatlon of what a man may expect; and
80 let him take heart of this warning, and
not go unless he is willing to pay good
large sum for the privilege Of being lion-
lied.
man who has suffered greatly told me
his experience He said that there came to
visit him last week friend of his wife's--
dear little girl with mouse like air and
apparently no capabilities at all in the
way Of enjoying herself. But appearances
were deceptive in that case as in many
another, and the things which that dear
young girl didn't think of doing were not
worth mentioning
The first evening of her stay, although it
was a red-hot night, she gently limited that
she would like to go to the theater, and
then she sighed to think how much she
would enjoy the play if only her friends,

across the bridge, over in Brooklyn, could
go too. The hostess, nothing loath pounced
upon the idea of a theater party, and before
that man knew what they we're about, they
had engaged party of eight women to go
to the theater, and had sent messenger to
secure seats. The man now realized that
he was in for it, but having married a wife
and had some experience with her freaks
and foibles, he accepted his fate without a
moan. They went to see Wang" and
when Hopper brought out the line,
''He had an elephant on his hands"
there wGs a delicious unctiousness about it
that struck right home to that mans soul,
and made him feel as if De Wolf Hopper
was brother to him, and had teen there
himself.
But the worst was yet to come, and if that
man had dreamed of what was To follow he
never could have as much as smiled the
whole evening. During the performance he
had been thinking that he would shoe his
little family ahead of him on coming out of
the theater, and would head them toward
the America, where, as every man knows,
thore is nothing TO drink which is a nice,
economic place in consequence. But this
little scheme was not to be permitted to
work, for as they rose from their orchestra
chairs his wife turned to him and said in a
tone loud enough to be heard by every one
of the party:
Now, dear Charlie, do take us to Deps;
Kitty has never been there and she had
heard so mich about Delmonlco's, you
know"
That settled it. There was no backing
out and no retreat possib To Del's they
went, and when they came out that mans
vest pocket was $58 lighter. and the elastic
which was snapped proudly around roll

It's awfully pathetic, now, to travel on
the boat or train and see the happy couples
who were made bride and groom few
short weeks ago, while the June roses we're
blowing and the air was balmy. The air
isn't baImy any more and the June roses
are awfully witbered. The rice has all
been shaken out Of ths umbrellas and the
white satin that was tackled upon the we'd
ding trunk by the best man has been pulled
off and there is It any more fun.
Ethel has begun TO realize that Jimmy
can actually read a newspaper when she is
in the room, and Jimmy has found out that
a pair of curling tongs are necessary to the
accomplishment of the beautiful couture
which he admired upon his lady love.
Ethel is cross sometimes, too, aud forgets
to make up, and altogether shows a dis
regard for his feelings in way Of which he
never used to dream. Jimmy, in turn, has
let Ethel gently down to the fact that he
uses tobacco occasionally in some other
form than smoking, and once or twice
when the food had been poor he has whis-
pered a swear word. 1t is all very dread
full. but by the time the Autumn leaves are
growing beautiful, both will have realized
that it is just as well to make up ones mind
to overlook trifles and to be happy III spite
of little things like curling tongs, tobacco
ana hotel fare. CARRIE CARELESS.
