A Hint Not Well Taken.

BOY was not particularly pleased with
the gift, but finally consented to have
1t hung on the wall of his room. Yes
terday his father had occasion to visit

A Married Lady's SensibIe Advice to
u Young Bride-An American Girls
Handsome G~Ovns-The Pertdot-
Household Hints.

A married lady Of sixteen years ex-
perience was giving some thoroughly
sensible advice to a bride which may
DOT come amiss even to those women
1ho are several steps along on the
matrimonial journey but who have
somehow discovered that trotting in
double harness is not as rllythmically
delightful as they had hoped it would
be.
Speaking Of her husband, the bride
said: He is going away on a short
trip next week" "Of course you are
going with him, my dear," remarked
the elder woman assertively rather
than interrogatively. Il don't know
yet" replied the bride. But you
should know that you r not only
going with him on this, his first trip,
but on all the others that may occur
during your life together. It is all
very we'll for some women to declare
that in order to keep their husbands
love they let the masculine will have
full sway, and if Jack says he Is going
away the thing to do is to acquiesce
amiubly and receive him pleasantly
when his high and mighty pleasure
suggests a return home.
This sort Of thing may be the means
Of avoiding quarrels, but it isn't the
surest way of knitting the husband and
wife's affections most closely together.
My idea, and I have certainly proved
that it is a good one, is to make your
self so Indispensable to a man that he
would not dream Of toddling off on
any Journey unless his wife accom-
panied him. 1 don't mean by that to
attach yourself to him like a faithful
dog, but be to him a companions; watch
carefully after his needs; let him real
ize that no n in the wide world
knows quite as we'll how to look after
his comfort as you do. Men are fear
fully selfish, even the best of them.
though, Of course, no bride would adj
nit such a horrible truth. Therefore.
If you can, little by little, so identify
yourself with your husbands inter
ests and his welfare that he cannot
get along without you the victory is
won, and no gathering or no gigantic
plan for fun will appeal to him WITH
any force if you are not expected te
participate in it likewise and in some
way look after his welfare. Begin al
the very outset Of your welded career
for it will be ever so much harder tt
train him in the right way If you &c
not follow out this idea from the be
ginning and he gets a notion into his
head that he can come and go as
likes, regardless Of your wishes anC
inclinations."

Enhancement Announcements.


In the days of long ago, and in fact
now. in France, the great ceremony OF
the wedding was and is always pre-
coded by the almost important func-
lions known as the bethrothal. In
America announcements of engage
ments are often made at big O'al'ers
or supper parties; but never until l
winter has the bethrothal rite been
fixed as a necessary part and duty OF
an engagement. A week before the
wedding the most intimate friends and
relatives of the contracting parties are
formally asked, by engraved cards, to
be present at the house Of the brides
parents to witness tie plighting Ct the
young peoples troth. The company as
