have friend who is comfortably well
on, with reasonable amount of good in
Vestments and good salary. but he has
a weakness for using money freely, says
a writer in the Boston Journal. He has
also good wife with frugal mind"
and by domestic arrangement she ex-
erts salutary check on the liberality of
her spouse Occasionally he exceeds his
allowance and INDUCES in tricks on his
banker" to secure little pocket money,
for which he does not desire to render a
strict account. Not long ago he needed a
new hat and bought IL, reporting 10 his
good wife that it cost him So. and that
sum was duly charged by her TO his per-
sonal expenses, while in fact he paid but
81. 80 at a "mark-down" sale and so had
an equal amount to blow in" without OK
posture. Int little time, however the wife
called his attention to the fact that his hat
was looking shabby and suggested that
he should get new one, coupling the sug-
gestion with the remark that the hat did
not seem to have worn well, and he must
exercise more care in his next selection.
Having.forgotten his little game" the
husband replied hastily that he thought
the nat had done pretty good service for
cheap one. "You can't expect anything
from a Sl.50 hat.'
"Hows that?" SAYS the wife and
forthwith she exhibited her account book
with its charge of 81, and the husband
was forced TO confess his fraud and
promise better conduct in future. There
is peace just now in that family, but
when he brings home purchase the wife
calmly but firmly asks him to turn in a
receipted bill from the salesman
There is no doubt that great deal of
the unhappiness of married life arises
from the fact that when man is court
ing girl he only sees her "at her best"
both as regards temper, looks and every
thing else. After marriage he is rudely
disulusioned, and vaguely wonders
whether this snappy young woman with
untldy hair, and perhaps shine on her
nose, can be the sweeU-tempered, fault
lessly dressed, lovely Angelina of few
month ago. Yes, young man, says the
New York Advertiser, she is Angelina
right enough, only she has, so to say,
thrown of her mask, now she has got
you, and appears in her true colors,
which are not quite of so fascinating a
hue as those that dazzled your love-sick
eyes in the counting peroid IL is
nearly every girls ambition to get mar
ried. She lays herself out to do so, and
any little artifice that will enhance her
natural charms she has no hesitation in
using. She dresses for effect, she poses
for effect she talks for effect, in fact.
during this stage of her life she is acting
for every woman is more or less of an
actress-and it must be confessed that,
generally speaking, she acts her part very
well.
After all, 1t is only natural that she
should try to appear at her best and en-
deavOr to captivate mankind, for mar
riage is the be-all and end.all of society
girls existence. The worst of it is that
she cannot keep this up after marriage;
it would be too great strain both physi-
cally and mentally. AS it is, heaven only
knows what she goes through during the
anxious time when she is angling for
fish, especially If it be a gold fish. She
moldS herself to her likes and dislikes,
and outrageS her own feelings, until the
little golden band on her fingers allows
her to breathe freely and declare that
Though he likes living in the country,
she detests it, and does not intend
to live there" Mr.. Neuwed is
startled and astounded This is
open rebellion Yet when he was court
ing her she appeared such a meek, gentle
creature, as to hava no wish or will of
her own, quite content 10 follow in his
lordship's footsteps What a fool was
to get married." he mentally exclaims,
and then in all probability the pickering
begins that renders married life one long
misery. Perhaps it now dawns on Mr..
Neuwed that when he was counting her
she was at her best
A word to men. When you are court
ing girl remember she is at her best in
every respect, and that she cannot posi-
bly, always keep up to this his high stand
ard after marriage; so grasp the fact that
you are not going to marry an angel, but
a human being with many faults, perhaps
as many as you posses yourself.
Superhuous flesh, says the New York
World, is a disease. Fat women are sell
dom rugged or long-lived. Obesity may
be simmered down TO two causes-lazi-
ness and self-indulgence. 1t is pleasant
to loll about in hammocks. rocking-chairs
and couches, and to indulge every within

delight the senses Of the women inclined
to obesity are the very ones they should

for lazy matter is self-sacrihce. 1t

and only the severe lines of something
approaching asceticism will scatter them
Fat girls who leave college and go into
active business or professional life, and
great wives of the men who meet with
reverses of fortune, necessitating self
help from every member of the family
lose flesh in year under the new order
of things, proving that exercise of the
right sort is demolishing as well as emo
bling.
The bathing suit, says the New York
Sun, can no longer be the ordinary blue
flannel, without rhyme or reason, made
by-the-dozen sort of an affair. 1t must
have style and individuality about it., and
good taste is as necessary in its selection
as in the choice of fall gown; yet this
years suit is easy to make. In fact,
nothing is more conspicuous than the
bathing suit, and nothing causes more
comment, since watching the bathers has
become the event of the day at many of
the fashionable resorts.
Mohair seems the popular material
this season, as it sheds the water, so that
the garments do not become as heavy as
the flannel ones Serge is also a favor
lite, as it comes in variety of colors.
