The girls are not allowed to see their
husbands until they are married to
them. The girl must seem to be entire
ly ignorant OF the meaning of the be-
trothal; she must cry when the ring is
put on her finger, but must not admit
that she understands what it means
until the contract is settled, when for
the first time she is allowed to recog-
nize the fate that has been prepared for
her, and then it is her duty to fall back
in dead faint
Even after that she must not ask any
questions about the name, family or
character of her betrothed. nor must
she ever try to see him from afar. Not
withs.anding this arrangement, which
seems to have been inadvertently con-
trived to make marriage failure, "Ad-

Better Left Unsaid.

A certain young poet is equally IA
nous in the world of letters as an au-
thor and among his friends for his blunt
candor that is forever betraying him
into one of the things one would have
preferred to say differently, as Du Maui
rier puts it. On his last birthday hewas
given charming dinner by his doting
parents, at which he was bitterly disap-
pointed by the regret of several nota-
bles. Thus, when society girl said to
him at the close of the evening, What
delightful time we have had!' he ex-
claimed from the fullness of his heart:
I'm glad it hasn't seemed dull to you.

Cooperation in English Housekeeping.

Cooperation in English Housekeeping.
The English housekeeper, without in
tending to do so, has really taken two
long steps in the direction of co-opera-
tive housekeeping. For in most small
establishments, where perhaps only
three or four servants are kept, no
breadmaking is done at home and the
washing is all put out. The bread pur-
chased is not, however, what is tech
nically known to us as bakers bread"
The huge loaves are firm and light, and
similar in grain to what the best home
cook could produce The various kinds
of hot bread dear to an Americans
heart are neither desired nor found on
an Englishman's table, and although
an American housekeeper might con-
slider it bad management to buy her
bread, to the English housekeeper the
plan seems the best in the world.
AS the English housekeeper is nothing
if not thrifty, without further discussion
it may be taken for granted that Co
operation between her and the baker
must mean saving of pocket for her,
as we'll as simplifying of her household
arrangements. In the same way, tho
fact that no washing is done at home.
means saving both of fuel and of fric-
ton in the kitchen Furthermore, no
unsightly lines with their burden Of
clothes ever disfgure the back yard of an
English house. The yard is instead a
thing of beauty, with its central grass
plot, its little tagged walk, and with its
bushes and vines neatly trained against
the surrounding walls.-Cor Home

CHE MUST MARRY THE JUDGE.
A Remarkable Method of Choosing q
Wife by Making Her Apply for once.

| "lts ny Making Her Apply for Ohicc.
Among the many remarkable propo-
sails Of marriage which have been pub
lished from time to time in the news
papers, the most unique is the follow
ing, which appears in our advertising
columns:
Wanted-A young lady for clerk Of the county
| court Of Ebert county. Il will be necessary
for her TO marry the county Judge. Address
County Judge, Elberton. ga
Coming as it does in the dawn Of leap
year, this advertisement by Judge j. A.
Roebuck has special force and signif-
sance. Application for the position Of
clerk under the terms Of the above adj
vertisement would be equivalent. of
course TO proposal of marriage to
Judge Roebuck. This, in any other
year, might not be considered Just the
proper thing for a young lady to do, but
in leap year who shall question her
right to such coursei
But see the cleverness Of the Judge.
BY simply mastering up the audacity to
announce in the advertising columns Of
the two leading papers in Georgia that
he is anxious for a wife, which is an
entirely praiseworthy aspiration, and
which is the plain English of his clever
advertisement, he has alta single bound
left the embarrassing position of suitor
and taken the vantage ground of the one
to be wooed.
And see, too, the easy avenue Of escape
from undesirable applicants which is
left to him and the embarrassment
which is saved the young ladies. While
it might be trying ordeal for young
lady to propose marriage even to the
man she loves, in this day Of female
stenographers, typewriters and book
keepers there need be no embarrassment
on lady's part in applying for any re-
spectacle clerkship. Therefore, when q
young lady has become acquainted with
Judge Roebuck, of the Ebert county
court, and feels that she is willing to
share the honors and emoluments of his
office, she has only to apply for the posi-
ton of clerk in his court.
If the judge fancies the applicant the
bargain can be closed ut once. and the
clerks salary remains in the family. If,
on the contrary, the applicant would
not be acceptable as Mrs. Roebuck,
the judge has only to represent the
duties of the Office as being such that
she could not fill them, and regret that
he cannot give her the position. Both
parties thus escape all reference to the
embarrassing part of the business. In
the language of the sporting gentry, the
judge is ION velvet"
