The following remarks are from a
bright clever woman who thinks as
much as she talks, and it is on a sub
ject that will probably never lose in
terest. She says
Commend me to the girl who falls in
love with a man of 35 or 40. She has
uncommon sense.
In the first place, the woman a man
of that age loves is the one he will al
ways care for He is not easily at
tracted, but, once in love, he rarely
experiences a change of heart. So
she is sure of that, the foundation
stone of all happiness.
Then, from her standpoint. II cNring

Married happiness depends upon the
characteristics of bot hand their har-
monious blending. When these are
fixed embodied in the life of either,
the other may rely upon them implic-
lilly.
We nav guess at the size and the
color of the flower in the bud, and we
may guess wrong.
The young man who carries off the
honors of a class on commencement
day often takes low grade on the
field of actual duty, for brilliant
is apt to become a will-o the wisp, an
uncertain light in the world, serving
chiefly to point out the marshy, dan

be dead failure, dead beat and even
wear a goatee?
