WAY
SHE DID IT.

Ned Chatterton was a good deal Of
mother's:.boy-that is to say, such q
warm affection existed between
mother and SON that it was remarkable
in this day of alial laxity.
So when it became known that AIDE
laide Westcott was engaged to hin
her many friends grew solicitous in
warning her as to the course she
should pursue in regard to her future
mother-in-law.
"When q mother has always had
such complete ascendency over a son
it was always q hard matter to make
her recognize q wife's right, and IL this
was to be done positive measures
must be employed from the fret" 81
her friends said, and her own mother
gave her some advice in the same line
while her sister Nell deplored the
necessity of having q mother-in-lav
and reviewed all the traditions in re.
gard to those very undesirable person.
ages.
With SO much instruction Adelaide
became also imbued with very positive
notions on the subject. OF course he
was an only son and his mother q
widow, but she could never consent to
live in the same house with the elder
woman. II it was all to 60 well she
must begin right. OF course Ned
loved his mother, but matrimony
would put him under new OBLIGATIONS
At her first opportunity she explained
it all to him and insisted that they
should keep q separate establishment
Ned looked panied. But he said:
u shall do as you say in the matter,
Adelaide, thought had looked forward
tween you and my little mother. She
is not hard to get along with, I know,
and she could have helped You &c
the household affairs"
But Adelaide showed him how q
mother-in-law, by her very love and
preference for her con, might cause
dissension between husband and wife.
Perhaps he was not convinced but
he yielded the point and they were
married. All Of Adelaide's friends
congratulated her upon her good
sense, and behind his back praised
Ned for his consideration in sparine

There is no more delightful land

Queenstown; nor is II by any means of

Queenstown, but do not hesitate say

this immense traffic Queenstown would
