We hear a great deal, says Ella Wheeler
vfrrox in the Pittsburg Dispatch, about
the danger a wife incurs who allows her
saIfto grow untidy and careless in her
attire after marriage. But there is a
cor-esponding danger which husbands in

we hear little about that.
The girl who falls in love with the well
dressed, carefully brushed, scrupulously
deptihced lover, may not be able to stay
in love with the husband whose appear
sr,e and habits are exactly opposite. I
once saw married man of wealth and
rosi1ion, whose hands were always black
across the Joints, and whose teeth seemed
toba1e forgotten any acquaintance with

the attention they paid to details. Some
times this decline in their appearance can

A bachelor said to me recently that he
thought men by nature far heater and
cleaner than women. That order and
tiduess were of more Importance to them
and that this had been one great factor
in his remaining single. But as l look
about me I do not find sufficient evidence
TO substantiate his statement. Men

Washington society, says the New
York Tribune, is one of tie most peculiar
social organizations extant; nothing like
1t can be found anywhere else in the civil
lied world. Too small to form itself into
distinct classes, which would also be i'm
possible on account of political obligations
and diplomatic uSages, there are, never
tueless, marked sets and ciques, and
these, however often they mingle in pub
lie, have very defined lines and bounda-
RES that are not as easy to pass as it
would seem. The transitory character of
Washington life, which is made inevitable
by reason of the constant changes in Off
clal and diplomatic CIRCLES and which
heretofore has rendered anything like
permanent social organizati impossible,
Is, nevertheless, one of its greatest
charms; and 1t is no wonder that cult
