The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1902-06-07

In the crazy "shack" on the frontier
=. the little farmhouse on the prairie. the
=. squat and ugly new brick house of the
i. prosperous young rancher. the modest
fiat, the. more ambitious apartment,
= the pretty cottage and the brownstone
, front alike, the same old story is just
: now being repeated
+ 1.-TWO souls with but ii single
. thought two hearts that beat as one"
:, are finding to their surprise. that the
:. same thought Is subject to various
interpretations and even If hearts beat
1 alike, there may be a wide divergence
in the requirements of the stomach.
+ And just here, sad to say, lies the
). rock on which the first matrimonial
+ bump usually takes place. If John has
!. ever "bached' in his life, If he has
:. been given to camping or yachting. II
!. he knows n thing about the rnanipula-
. tion of the chating-dish or how to
make a chowder or salad. or broil
+ steak. he takes airs accordingly and
+ never wearies in dlating on his mar
+ velous culinary successes. If he has
!. 40 experiences of his own to fall back
:. upon. he is reasonably certain to swear
:. by the "dshes mother used to make
while Mary, not to be outdone. feels
/ that she must maintain the culinary
] traditions of her family. John wants
! his beef we'll done: no raw beef for
, him" Mary likes hers rare.
, John wants bacon for breakfast 800
:. days in the year, Mary don't care for
. 1t at all. John don't like salads when
:. olive oil is used. Mary dotes on it,
John likes his potatoes fried. Mary
hers creamed. Mary don't care for
, much sugar in her pics and puddings,
John wants them cloying sweet. Now.
b who gives in? Both. it is to be hoped.
!. Bear and forebear'' should be the le-
!. gend inscribed over the Intel OF each
:. door through which the bride and
groom make entrance to the new
dwelling. If Mary is diplomatic she
, will let John vaunt his culinary
? achievements as much as he pieases.
, she will endeavor to remember his
b special tastes in dishes, and cater to 1t
as much as she can without making
|. herself a slave to caprice. If John
!. is wise he will remember that Mary
! is still young: that her experience has
j probably been limited. but that by
? courtesy the field Is hers. If she does
+ we'll commend heartily. If there are
; mistakes pass them lightly by. and
|. others Every days successive fail
=. ures will bring wisdom TO learn
/! through our own experience.
Meanwhile be patient, loving,
? thoughtful, considerate,
? So shall the days bring peace and
, Joy and the home below foretaste of
; the heaven above.
. There are great many women who
! would like to give little entertain

they felt they could afford it, and
knew what to get in the way of suit
able refreshment. Here then Is
, sample menu, showing what can be
