married, and during the con versation the
question was put to me as to what consti-
tuted the three cardinal virtues Of good
husband. Said one Of the girls: NOW,
Miss Clara, while it's true that you're NOS
married yet, you have given a great deal
OF thought to this subject and have written
great deal upon 1t, so please expound."
My reply was: First. he must be gener-
ous He mustn't be mean with his money.
He must anticipate your little wants, keep
you well dressed and we'll supplied with
tx
woman's happiness. Secondly, he must
not be OF a Jealous disposition, by which
mean that he must not be foolishly or
ridIcnlously Jealous. He must allow you
to hlrt to your hearts content 30
long as you observe the proprieties.
He must permit men to admire you,
to take pleasure in your society, TO
danes round dances with you. to say sweet
things to you, to make you little presents.
He must permit you to have your little
circle of devotees. Thirdly. he must love
you 30 devotedly, so religiously, SO vigor-
ously as to make ii impossible that you
should long for another man, even though
he appeared to you as Jupiter to Leda.
Bravo! Bravo!" cried the three girls.
"Why, Miss Clara. said the engaged one,
you deserve a seat in hymen's tripod. You
are inspired; you speak like a priestess. l
shall write Jack this very night and repeat
word for word what you have said De-
licious! Divinel Such man would be an
angel Only think of it, money enough, no
jealousy and love till you cams sit up"
said the engaged girl.
Now, of course, women might differ as to
how much love is necessary to keep mar
rage from falling into the domain of the
commonplace. Some women might say
none at all; others might demand heaps.
One friend of mine exacts the evening and
morning kiss; another calls it ell twaddle,
and insists that love should never be allowed
to degenerate into the conventional, the
perfunctory, the cut-and-dry Sort it must
be free and unfettered, lie dormant for
weeks if it choose. then burst forth with
dynamic order. Love that can content it.

all. 1t is phosphorescence and not real
fame. 1t is all for show-to make the out
side world think that things are progressing
favorably between man and wife when, in
reality, they may be occupying different
rooms!
At a dinner party given by a distinguished
New York lawyer, whom we'll cell e, and
who had married rich woman, with whom
he was living very unhappily, it was noted
that by actual count, he called her my

Said young girl to me the other day,
remarks Clara Belle in the Cincinnati En-

kissed by men for whom she has not the

she simply wishes to make use Of, whose

OF these men are refined in their attentions,
