BASIS os MARRIAGE.
without Love There Can he No Happiness
In Times of Trial.


One girl who wrote to me recently
said: Wouldn't a marriage based on
friendship, on good comradeship, and
on thorough respect be happy oneP"
don't know, 1t might be placid
one, it might be respectable one, but
a marriage without love cannot be the
one for which you or l were intcnd-
ed, writes Ruth Ashmore in Ladies'
Home journal. Comradeship and re-
spect and thorough liking might DO
all that were necessary during the sun
shiny days, but what would they
amount to when the gloomy days
came?
And do you think II man were try
ing to solve some great question, were
trying to drive from his soul the demon
of unbelief, that he would turn to tho
good comradc for help? No; he would
60 to the woman who loved him, and
whom he knew lSnelt down every
night of her life and said a prayer for
him.
When people are suffering, mentally
or physically, they do not turn for help
or sympathy to that one whose speech
is brilliant and witty and whose brain
is strong, but they reach out, like a lit
tie child, to that one who loves them
best, and whose heart is OVERLOOKING
with sympathy and pity Friendship
is great blessing, but it cannot take
the place of love. And, If either man
or a woman marry, believing that a
friendly feeling will be sufficient in
their united lives, they surely in time
will realize only too sadly the posi-
bility of love coming to them, and the
dread OF tragedy IL he should DO
greeted with joy. Therefore j say to
you, my girl, In building up your life
You need as foundation for its shelter
the cornerstone of love and no other
will answer. If in its place you put
friendship, mental sympathy, or good
comradeship, the house will topple
over when the wiSd of misery comes,
for its foundation stone will drift
away, carried along into the sands of
Indifference, and you will stand alone,
weeping for that one who is not, and
having around you only friendship and
its kindness, while you long for love
and its sympathy.

"This-who?"
This old lady-this widow. When

"Oh, butt Mr. Garraway smiled
pleasantly, you are laboring under a

"Oh, she is not young, suppose"

rather young. BY the bye, ought to

A SUMMER LIBRARY.


pFNhh shthioiis
1t Is not large room, the library OF
tho summer cottage. Why should it
be, when books are in the running
brooks, and the running brooks are
near by? But what 1t lacks in size it
makes up in its daintness and in the
care with which its belongings are
chosen.
The floor of the little room is COW
cred with old blue denim, neatly
stretched. The walls are covered with
gray-blue cartridge paper and are
closely hung above the bookcase with
pictures. There are poets, essay
lists, novelists, and humorists by
the score. There are the places
where these bcnefactors of mankind
lived and woi led. An expensive
collection? Not at all. 1t is merely
the collection of magazine reader
whovhasf religiently cut out the en-
cravings Of her fayorites and their
haunts, had them mounted in pairs or
trios or singly and framed in the sim
pie passe-partout style. Here and
there are medallions -sad-visage
Dante, beneficient Shakespeare and
Others. Those she purchased for a
quarter apiece at an art students sup
ply store. They are plaster Of paris,
but so arc the minerva, above the
desk in the corner. and the Venus de
Milo on the mantcl shelf.
The rows of book shelves are built
from the floor to a height of about
four'fect on both sides of the fireplace.
Built is scarcely the proper word, for
they consist of neatly fitted and paint
ed soap boxes resting on their sides.
A brass rod about the top supports a
little curtain of old blue silkalinc,
with brown pine boards meandering
over it. The top of the book case is
gay with a bowl of wild flowers, some
blue china, photograph or two in q
silver frame.
In the center of the room broad
kitchen table conceals its ignoble ORR
gin beneath a cover of dull blue felt.
There are magazines piled high on the
table, the inevitable bowl of flowers,
and reading lamp with blue shade
that casts restful light over the read
er's shoulder. Two comfortable steam.
er chairs are drawn up on either side
of the table. There is lounge piled
with cushions in every imaginable
shade Of blue under the window. Set
anglewise in the corner is q deslx-a
three dollar and fifty cent desk -
stacked with all the accessories of DO.
lite correspondence.
The curtains at the windows are
long ones of blue denim. They are
generally drawn back and hang in
long, graceful folds against the wall.
The porticre which divides the library
from the drawing-room beyond is blue
denim on the library side and old pink
on the drawing room side. The tall
screen that shields the reader from
chance blasts Is also of denim.
A pretty room, a restful room, Is that
little library. 1t is cheap room, too,
unless one counts thought and labor
valuable. Then it becomes quite ex-
pensive. Chicago Tribune.

door and Mr.. Garraway (of Gray's Inn
place. noticed that each avoided look
ing at the other.
Ernest Bradshaw closed the door and
came back to the table. He cracked a
walnut, and, on opening it, threw it
into the fire.
"Bad?" inquired Mr.. Garraway.
Yes said young Mr.. Bradshaw,
violently. "0f course it's bad. Worst
OF 1T is that you never know until you
try"
but all the nuts are not bad, Brad
shaw" Bradshaw grunted. "Any-

mo. Whitehalls all right"
Mr.. Garraway owed his success as a
solicitor mainly to knowing exactly
when not to do the wrong thing.
II want to ask you something, Gar
raway. Do you ever have people COM
ing to you to draw up deeds of separa-
tion?"
"Oh, yes; pretty often"
"Well would you mind being of some
use to me-and to Ellen?"
"Why, certainly. But you don't
want to bcseparated? Why, man alive,
You haven't been married year,
"Garraway, look here. We have had
a row-a dispute, or whatever you like
to call it. We have agreed to part"
On the piano in the dining-room up
stairs chord or two were struck, and
the clear voice of Mrs. Bradshaw rang
out. fa
"You see," said Bradshaw, perfectly
jolly over it." There was sudden
stop and crash on the piano, as though
the player could keep it up no longer.
Look here, Bradshaw,"-;Mr. Cara
way passed his hand carefully over his
smooth, spare hair-''look here Call
at my place at eleven o'clock to-mor-
row morning and I'll do what is

"Thank you, Garraway."
"Shall we go upstairs? l must ar
range with her."
The demure, precise little clock on
the mantelpiece in Mr.. Garraway's
chambers struck eleven. A small boy
entered with card.
'.Thank you, Judd. Show the lady
In"
Mr.. Gibson withdrew with his work
to the outer office, stepping aside at
the door to permit slim, girlish figure
to enter.

"And SO am to draw up the deed OF

GOOD SOCIETY.

Culture and Refinement to Have Prece-
dence Over Birth and Rank.
High moral character and education,
whether it be of book lore or that Of
observation and good example, polish
of manner and good habits, are the
requisites of good society. One whose
ideas of -ocial equality were rather
democratic than exclusive was heard
to remark: zone man is born Just as
good as another, and a great deal bet
ter than some" Unless the son of
gentleman be gentleman he is no
more entitled to the name suggesting
refinement than man is entitled to
the name of general whose father be-
fore him was general. One must
win his own laurels or go uncrowned.7
Birth to marked degree is an acct
dent, and those who are considered to
be well born are ofttimes the most OBJ
jectionable elements of society and the
most dangerous associates. ., One need
but watch closely the daily record of
those on both sides of the Atlantic
whose birth gives them prestige in So
ciety to prove that education and cul-
tivation of high morals and manners
go farther toward making refined SO.
ciety than all the good or bad blood
that ever flowed through the veins of
royalty and the nobility. or course, It
would be the height of absurdity to
argue that all men are born equal, and
would be as illogical to argue against
the superiority Of blooded animals of
the race course over the ordinary
draught horse. However, the nobility
of culture and refinement should have
precedence over the nobility of birth

AT the close of business hours every

This large hall running the full length
of the building and the full width of the

numerous large windows above the level
