couch at 8 o'clock at night instead of

Union has its own queer little collection of
specially prohibited acts and usually adds
a few at every session of the Legislature.
The consequence is that no man alive can
say just where or how he may put his foot
in IL on unfamiliar territory. Some of the
prohibitions strike outsider very
quaint. Here are a few, culled at random:
In Massachusetts, debt collectors mustn't
wear red hats. In Arkansas nurses mustn't
tell the secrets of patients. In Wisconsin
one mustn't make cigars in a basement.
In Delaware a doctor mustn't get drunk,
as his license is revoked. In California pa
pers mustn't print pictures of private in
dividuals without their consent. In Mime
sofa one mustn't dock horses tails or build
city fences over six feet high. In Arizona
one mustn't cuss the flag. In Indiana
minors mustn't run elevators. In Missouri
and in Connecticut barkeries mustn't be
located in cellars. In Illinois sideshows
mustn't exhibit deformed people. In Flori-
da one mustn't fire gun from a moving
train. In South Dakota hello girls mustn't
blab about phone messages they overhear.
In Pennsylvania dealers mustn't sell goods

W. d. Howels.
When j began to write fiction twenty or
thirty years ago We poor noveists were all
under the superstition, that the hero must
always do something to win the heroine
10 save her from some imminent danger;
from burning building or a sinking ship.
or indeed, pacify her through long and
dangerous sickness. In my earliest novels
] rescued my heroine from a ferociouS bull
dog, which. remember. was thought rath-
or undignified by some critics. but had no
other mortal fellow at hand. After that

bands of the happy wives / knew had done
anything to win them except pay them

they would have them. Amongst the young
people of my acquaintance / noticed that
this convenient form of conquest was still
going on, and asked myself. Why should IL
not be so in books? When / ventured to
copy some such fiction from real life.
found that my readers liked it quite as well
as they liked that of the one who entered
lightly into marriage, a marriage which
might end in funeral. / believe now that
the heroine that has TO be won in that way
is distinct and self-sacrificing heroine.
There was also a time when the women
o. novels were very thin-when infinite he
roines were I'm vogue-and they died OF con-
sumption. These he-oines disappeared.
There was also a time when a heroine
was magnanimous criminal and profiigate
as celebrated in the Bulwer novels. Then
there was the passionate heroine. This
young lady's business was TO be in love
with all her might, with a passion which
precluded every other interest in life. She
despised old and poor people, and especially
sick jeople, and loved only to possess and
be possessed in her combustible way. She

at that high prcssure-she could not.
