A WEDDING TRIP.

Not few sensible women feelingly ad.
wise their girl friends who are about to
be married not to take bridal tour at
once, but to wait several months or even
q year or two, when the excitement and
fatigue attending the preparations and
wedding and eager anticipations of the
new home are over. and the journey can
be thoroughly enjoyed. They represent
that the ordinary wedding journey is a
positive strain on the affections. Trsv-
cling is of itself fatiguing to nerves as
well as muscles, apt to produce irrita-
bility, and almost inevitably inimical to
the personal appearance, and bride
naturally desires to look her best in the
eyes OF him who has honored her above
all other women. There is a fashion which
is growing in favor Of a newly welded
couple retiring to some quiet, isolated
place to spend the honeymoon. but this,
too. has its disadvantages. There is too
MUM opportunity Aot oiooaiusionuSos,
which, if it must come. is easier to bear
in gradual installments. A certain young
English couple, who had been so sur
rounded by relatives and friends that
they had actually never seen each other
alone during their engagement, were ten
dered the use Of friends shooting box
for the honeymoon. They hailed the
offer with 10y, the remoteness of the lit
tie house being its chief attraction. but
in week they began to wonder il mar
riage were not q failure. Ii is impossible
to be more absolutely alone than in q
crowd, and crowd has some advantages
which are net to be gainsayed. On many
accounts few days spent at comfort

which one at least Of the bridal pair il
unfamiliar and surrounded by strangers
is the most satisfactory way of adjusting
themselves to the new conditions Of theil

pREsIDENI's PRIvATE LIFE.

The following is a fair idea of the
many incidentals that come free to q
President: Every bit Of linen, bedding,
towels, and such things are furnished.
He is shaved by the White House bar
Der. His table is spread with the finest,
daintiest damssk, set with the most ex-
quisite china, and bountifully supplied
with flowers from the White House con-
servatories. II he sends telegram, it
is done from an instrument in the White
House, for which the Government pays.
His stationery, postage. etc., cost him
nothing. Should he desire q game Of
billiards, there is q beautiful table at
hand or If he wants to take drive,
his stables. which the Government pays
the rent for and takes care of, are amply
equipped. When he enters his business
Office, man is stationed at the door to
open and close it !; and a private secre-
tary, to whom the Government pays a
salary Of $1,000 year. assists him with
bis correspondence. The services Of o
typewriter are also furnished He is
protected from the curious by a number
OF private wstchmen. Should he want
a cruise, magnificent steamship from
the navy is placed at his disposal.
There are many other things that cost
him nothing, such as the culinary ar
rangements, his steward, who does the
marketing, the many fancy delicacies
sent him by enterprising firms. This,
by-the-way. is a sort of nuisance, for it
seems to be the desire Of every manufac-
turer Of some new eatable or drinkable
to get it into the White House. Things
Of value that find their way there are
never accepted. d.-Harper's Round Table.
