K01SyhE IN paper. The hus-
Hxh:2ANAI band who can
, look forward to
such state OF
things every day of his life will never
tire of his home, and the wife who
studies his comfort will have but little
, difficulty in managing him according
to her will. Men are gregarous ami
, mails, and will wander in spite of all
allurments, but they are selfish enough
to remain where they are the best
treated, and by taking little trou-
BILE for a year or two of married
life the years that will follow as
a rule. find the husband always
glad to go back to the pretty home
where smiles and the dinner I spoke
of await him. There are so many
women who object to being "bossed, y
as they call it. My dear ladies, you can
always boss if you take the trouble.
BY giving in you get your own way
as you never would by fighting for it.
And, after, all, it is better to feel you
respect your husband SO much that to
give in to him is not difficulty. Nine
men out of ten are manageable if you
go the right way about it, and one
great point is to act after marriage
just as you did before. Argument and
contradiction are vital enemies to
married peace. Should you wish for
anything particularly don't insist
upon it after refusal. Some women
are persistant and ask: "Why may
not? Why won't you do as I ask your"
and irritate the man. Rather bide
your time and make an extra good
dinner of his favorite dishes, but
bow on of the colors he likes, make
home and yourself sweeter than
ever. You will get it sure, even if you
have to wait.
A FEW DoN'TS.
Do not, if you love your friends,
chant everlastingly the praises of
| shin" Remember that it is in excru-
ciatingly bad taste to boast of our pos
sessions, whether they be family sill
yer or finance.

Do not praise his virtues to him
self too constantly. Though he be
most perfect of created beings, as he
doubtless is, there is still room
Improvement. Nothing will spur him
on to improvement so rapidly as for a
somewhat temperate style of COM
mendation.
Nv
Do not on your wedding journey try
to convince the public that you have
been married twenty years. Mortal
Indifference comes soon enough with
out being cultivated during the honey
moon. Besides, it is not criminal to
be bride.
x*x
On the other hand, do not nau-
seate the public by demonstrations of
affection. The public pays for it's
seat in the parlor car, and it has Ger
tain inanlienable rights guaranteed it
by the Constitution, such as tend to
the pursuit of happiness. Not even
bride and bridegroom should inter-
fere with constitutional rights.
~
AS to costume. Don't wear shining |
new boots. Don't wear gloves which |
proclaim their recent purchase from
afar. And avoid gray gown as you
would a poster to the effect that you
are just married.
Nv
Don't Blush or gigle when you find
letters addressed to Mrs. Jones instead
of Mrs. Smith. Don't weep violently
if your husband is five minutes late
to dinner. And don't ask him to ''be
sure to take care of himself" in the
presence of a large multitude.

Edna Lyall composes on a typewrit-
or, and in the Windsor Magazine says:
II compose with the typewriter, but
before sitting down I always have
the outlines of the story clearly de-
fined. never write anything in
hurry, or to publishers orders, but
take my time, slowly and carefully
working things out. What is the
title of the latest one to be? That is
the last thing to be decided, as rule.
generally choose about six titles,
and let my publishers select the one
hey consider most taking. All really
good titles are already used, it seems
to me.' Edna Lyall has reaped a
golden harvest from her pen. She
turns some of the proceeds of her
work to good account; among other
things, she completed the peal of
bells at St. Saviour's, Eastbourne, by
presenting three magnificent bells,
which were named respectively after
three characters in her novels, Dono-
van, Erica and Hugo. 1t

A donkey speaks about American ,
women in the English magazine, ,
Temple Bar. This donkey says that ,
when American women reach the age =.
of forty their faces get dried up, |.
sharp, and colorless, and they are apt
to become suddenly gray and taci-
turn. 1t is lie. The donkey knows
about American women of Z
any age. What fappers he must have, a
and what jawbone.-N. Y. Sun.
