HER CONFESSION.

1t was a sunny morning In April,

leans for the first time in nearly ten
years The song Of birds was in my
ears, the scent of roses In my nostrils.
Sitting by side window and look

stead surrounded by shrubs and mag
nolias, thoughts Of the past came TO
my mind. Here in this room my
bridal eve was spent, and here my
happy honeymoon waned and died.

men, for no matter how streuously the
lattermay protest their Indifference TO
Affairs anticipatory of mat imony, it is
a settled historic fact that whenever IA
woman is married man is found en-
tering the holy estate OF matrimony ut
the same time, to say nothing OF the
additional circumstance that the men
usually do the counting, and, save in
very rare and exceptional cases, women
are never married until urged to

the sterner sex. II, however, young
gentlemen, or even old bachelors, fully
realized the load Of responsibility they
were incurring In undertaking seri-
ously the business OF getting married,
there is little doubt that bear move
ment in matrimonial stock would at
once begin, which would sweep away
more than one margin which has al
ready been advanced TO the broker.
For getting married, both In the
preparatory and in the final stages OF
the process, is, in the opinion of St.
Louis Globe Democrat writer, undoubt-
edly very solemn thing. In the first
place there is the courting, for, save in
France, whore everything IL managed
by the parents, or in Iceland, whore "a
go-between attends TO the business, or
in Timbuctoo, where girls are bought
and sold like sheep, the young lady
must be cOurted, and courting i OF it
self a serious matter, involving no lit
tie sacrifice OF time, disregard OF per-
sonal comfort, and occasionally lib.
eral pee uniary outlay. AS far as time
is con cerned, the expenditure Is made
with some degree of checrfulness, for
courting, like virtue, Is its own re-
ward, and more than one man has real

From the standpoint of youth and

for whatever may be the side issues OF
bangs and toilet powder, OF gold em-
broidered dresses, ham-shaped sleeves,
and the extravagant costumes that the
arbiters OF fashion declare shall he

can be no doubt that the ultimate end
and aim of each and every adornment
j., for the young lady at least, nothing
more nor less than matrimony. In his

Darwin shows with great circum-
