In assuming the duties of a housekeeper
for my home and the duties of mother
for my prospective children thou wilt be
lncapacitated for wage-earning, and il is
no more than simple justice that I give
thee money for thy personal needs"
Ihis homely Interpolation would sound
rather queer to the accompaniment of the
Voice That Breathed O'er Eden" or the
wedding chorus from "Lohengrin," and
doubtless the bishops and reVerends and
right reVerends would consider il a pro-
fanauon of their ancient and venerable
marriage service. but il is probable that
such an addition would do more 10 keep
marriage from being a failure than any
one reform ever suggested. You remem-
Der that clever novel of Marion Crawford,
in which the bride proves false to her
husband after only a few weeks Of mar
rluge. We are almost ready to defend
LeOnoTa when we remember that the
bridegroom on his wedding day hesitated
about the cost of sending a telegram.
Closeness in money matters is something
no woman can tolerate in the man she has
sworn to love.

the toe all The way up. In the first five
pairs of holes the lace should so over. To
do it have one string a little longer than
the other. Let the short string rest in the
center on the tongue inside the shoe and
with the long string lace over and over
those first five pairs of holes, each time
the string is carried across, crossing under
the idle string. With the sixth pair of
holes take the two strings and lace across,
as is customary. There is nothing a man
considers so sissyish and what wouldn't
a woman do not to be sissyish ?-"as a
shoe laced with the two strings crossing
each other top to toe. The next time you
are in a room or in a car with a number
of men If you will notice their shoes you
will find that if they are well dressed
every shoe has the lace crossing over and
over at the first five holes" And when
the girl who knows was first initiated in
to this secret, being in the country, she sat
down then and there in the country road
and laced her shoes in the proper manner
Edward w. Box editor of the Ladies'
Home Journal, asserts that home, how
ever humble, is a million times better
place for young married couples TO live
than is the most luxurious hotel or best
boarding house in the land 1T is always
a sad thing" he says, when a young
married couple begin life in a boarding
house or hotel Sad because they start
life practically ostside of themselves. The
furniture around them Is not their own.
The young wife may bring with her all
the trifles she chooses; she may add a
touch of her own here and another touch
there. But the things in the room are not
theirs, and sooner or later she realizes 1t.
During the day the wife is alone No
duties call her. Nothing is there in her
life to exercise her ingenuity nor develop
her womanly talents She cannot prepare
any little pleasure for her young husband,
for things are prepared for her. When
her husband leaves her for his Office she
turns back into the room. and wonders
what she can do during the day; how she
will employ herself, where she will go.
There is nothing in her room to appeal
to her to stay there. No home duties CON
front her So she goes out and shops,
perhaps for a while; runs around
to her mothers, calls upon some
practice a little, if she is musical
and has piano; or, if she is fond
of books, she reads. There is nothing in
her life; two-thirds of herself lies dor
mant. She is glad when the time comes
for her husband to come home;' glad to
feel that she has some one to whom she
can talk; glad of company. And he?
What can he do to express himself to
his young wife? Nothing around him is
his; everything Is by lease, his for a time
for so much money. And after he is
through paying for it he leaves it behind
The end is the same as the beginning
That is why boarding house or hotel life
is so injurious to young married people
1t makes them practically homeless"
Forecast
Take back, take back the harsh word
now;
Consider it unspoken;
Break, break though late, the angry vow
That better far were broken.
The stream of death will bear away
The object of thy passion;
Oh, then obHterate to-day
The thought of his transgression.
Forget the little i'll, revealed
AS though by hates intention;
Remember all the good, concealed
AS though by loves invention.
The hour may come when thou wilt stand
Unsheltered and uhshriven;
Forgiveness price is in thy hand,
To-day let it be given
| With hatred in the heart at last %
Bethink thee of his terror
Whose alienated gaze were cast
| on loves eternal mirror
| Thou mightst endure the sight of woe
| The scoffing-the derision-
| But where thou dost expect to go
How couldst thou bear the vision?

"Why is it," asked a wondering child.
(Sweet, simple little thing)
THAT the foolish tree put on it's clothes
When the sun shines in the spring
| And then, when chilly autupmn comes
And the winds of winter blow,
| Why does Il stand out there, all bare.
In the frost and sleet and snow?'
