MARRIAGE AMONG THE JEWS.
There is one thing that l like about the
Jews-that Is their devotion to their wives.
No men in tie world are as considerable of
women for whom they care, and no men
their wives as do these men. | was talking
to a Jewess about happy marriages, and |
put to her this question: Are you happy
in your marriagel'' And she answered L:
Il am so happy that the days are not long
enough for me to be glad in" Now, this
was not young girl, who had been married
two weeks, year or five years, but a
woman who had grown-up sons. and who
still loved the husband of her youth with
greater ardor than she did in the first year
of her marriage. / don't know whose fault
it is, but l should like to know how many
Gentiies could say that. know there are
plenty of men who do wrong, but | also
know that there are a great many women
who nag and worry them into it. | know
there are a great many men who haven t
large incomes whose wives insist on living
in boarding houses; and think the place
for married people is home. even If 1t con-

YOUNG WIVES IN BOARDING HOUSES
Dolly is dear girl, but leave her alone
all day in boarding house, and she Will
get into some sort of mischief even if it is
only in being lazy. She is a sociable Great
ure, and after she bids you goodbye she
runs into the parlor and talks TO the other
women, and after awhile she goes out with
them to walk. to the matinee, and they all
go to the same dreSSmaker. NOW, THESE
women may be just as good as YOUR Dolly,
but don't believe it is 4 good thing for
women, five or six of them, to be too much
together.
THEY GROW TOO CONFIDENTIAL,
they discuss things that they have no bust
ness to know about, and some evening when
you come home you Will hnd your room
dark and no sign OF Dolly TO meet you.
She'll rush in about fifteen minutes later
and say that she and Mrs. ChatterboX
stayed out longer than they intended. You
are not brute, and you don't like to be
dlsagreeable to her about TINS; but That Is
the time when little Lancashire treatment
would be good for her. l. e., Kicking her
where her flesh predominates with pair
of wooden clogs. The treatment Is severe,
but efficacious.
HOW To LIVE NATURAL LIFE.
If you are the average man you will find
some woman who does, and if you are not,
you will plod along in your usual way until
some day you will be taken with the pneu-
monia, something that will kill you quick.
and after you are gone and are cold and
still and can't hear her, poor Dolly will cry

done. Poor, weak Dolly! 1t would all
have been different if you had gone into a
little home of your own, borne children to
keep you and your husband young. and
lived natural, loving life. l never go to the
f,neral of man and see the widow weep
g tnat don't wonder how much of it is
remorse rather than grief. We women
leave so much undone-the little kiss, the
tender pressure of the hand, the gentle
touch, all mean much to a man, and give
him courage to express the affection that he
has felt half ashamed, half afraid, TO show
to you.
THE THEN AND THE NOW.
However, you don't give it to her, and
after awhile you get used to coming home
to dark room, fumbling around for the
matches, or getting one from sympathetic
chambermaid; and as you come up town
you drift into the club, getting home just at
dinner time, and you give sigh because,
ten to one, Dolly wants to go to the theater.
There was time when going to the thea
ter was great frolic. Saturday nights
you and Dolly went, and you had bit of
supper afterwards, and the other nights in
the week you two used to sit and talk, or
you wou would read and Dolly would work
away at Christmas gifts for somebody, and
she would drop the Christmas gift once in
awhile, and interrupt the reading by pat
ting YOUR hand. or telling YOU for the mill
WERE Now she don't seem to care.
THE RIGHT KIND OF WIFE.
Marriage! Yes, believe in marriage. /
believe in marrying a girl of eighteen to a
man of twenty-five; I believe in marrying
girl of twenty to man Of thirty; believe
in a girl going from her mother to her
husband, knowing from her mother how
good she must be and only learning after
she is wife of the ways of the world and
of the many things it is wise for her to
avoid. The suffrage people and the
temperance people do not agree with me,
but rll back my type of girl to be good
wife and a good mother against all the
knowing ones that are the results OF isms
and fads.
BoNNETs WITHOUT AN END.
OF the making of many hats there IS no
end. There are saucy hats, dignitied hats,
flambuoyant hats, hats that hover between
hats and bonnets in an undecided way;
there are stiff sailor hats that make an
angel look like tough, and there are hats
calculated to require the purse of amillion-
aire. There are hats to be cooked on the
back of your head and hats to tip over your
eyes, so that you have to look from under
them in coquettish manner, and there are
hats that look as though they ought to stay
on your head, but refuse to, unless pinned
and tied and almost glued on. The hats
that seem to career up in the air,
with their feathers tossing as proudlys1
as did the historic white plume of Henry
of Navarro, are perked up in the back and
fastened with glittering clasps, and appear
to have an inclination to fly up and be worn
by angels, are, according to the Suave mill
