1t is to the girl who is fortunate enough
to be utterly unbiased and able to pick
and choose her lifemate that We give words
OF advice.
There is but little doubt that the author of
the infaIlfble proverb, If pigs had wings
they might be able TO fly, but they would
be very unlikely birds was the same one
who said" A reformed rake makes the best
of husbands" If such thing were possible
doubtless ne would. but does any one really
believe in j reformed rake?' Certainly no
one of u worldly mind, and very few of a
sensible one.
As TO rakes or any other notorious char
acters there is not a word TO be said IN
regard to their matrimonial qualities;
they should and Will be entirely omitted
from the discussion. II you want your hus-
band to be one of the "stay-at-home nights
kind choose a man with a hobby, good,
Woodworking hobby, that requires manual
labor or personal supervision. The man with
an unauenchabIe desire to hammer in nails,
to dig I'D the soil. TO fresco the barn door or
to photograph the family in natural
positions will materially assist in the home
making process.
What matter if the pictures do occa-
sionally fall on ones head and the chairs
usually tip the guest of honor on the floor?
The masters little foibles go FAR toward
making life anu sing and consequently
happy.
The husband who merely eats and sleeps
at home or who only sheds the light or his
countenance upon you at rare intervals is
not at all desirable acquisition. If you
are wise you will choose man who has
been through a thorough clearinghouse
course and graduated with honors for not
expecting too much for his money. and
this difficulty will be entirely Obviated.
This individual has probably received
but little comfort in his protracted ex-
perience in boarding. and Will be very
tina nkful for small favors- He does not
object to the perfume of onions, and has
kindly regard for cold meat. He may
be relied upon to run the small errands,
to mend his own clothes. and, In fact, to
render himself generally untroublesome
and uuobtrusive.
The hookworm should be placed high
upon the list of good husbands, in that, pro-
yided he has a warm room, comfortable
armchair and his favorite authors. His
worst fault is that he is inclined TO seem
trifle unsympathetic, but he finds amuse-
ment at his own fireside, and is, though he
will not show it, thoroughly fond of the
wife of bis bosom.
On the same principle don't pass by the
man who smokes a pipe. II you dislike
the odor of tobacco see that he is supplied
with a good quality, but don't dream of
complaining because he smokes. There
is nothing in the world that will so smooth
the ruffled plumage of the king of creation
as looking at it through dense cloud of
tobacco smoke.
Don't marry the Observation-Disclosures
and-she-was-a-widow kind. Depend upon it
II you do. You viii find yourself doing over
again the" slavery days. in an amateur way.
In place of this one we respectfully recon-
mend the man who Is one OF a large family
of brothers and sisters. He will have learned
the lessons of unselfishness and self-sacrifice
the alpha and omega of domesticfelicity-
so thoroughly in his childhood that he
will never forget them under any circum-
stance'
