WHY THEY MARRIED.

An editor who wished to afford some
amusement to his lady readers caused a
number of letters TO be written TO hus-
bands asking them confidentially why
they married. Here are some of the an
swers:

Because 1 didn't have the experience

TO USE UP STALE BREAD.

A careful housekeeper has various
ways of using up stale pieces of bread
besides drying them for frying. Soak
pieces of stale bread in cold water,
squeeze very dry, and add to flour for
boiled buildings, forcemeat and ris-
soles. but the bread must be squeezed
very dry after taking from the water.
A good pudding is made of quarter of
a pound of pieces of bread soaked and
squeezed dry, a quarter OF a pound of
flour, a quarter of a pound of suet
shredded fine, a quarter of a pound of
sultanas. a little salt and baking pow
der one egg, fiavoring and sufficient
milk to make all into a nice batter.
Pour into a creased basin and boil for
two hours and a half. Turn out to
serve and pour sweet sauce round.

CHOOSING A WIFE BY MUSIC.
New York.

A German professor proposes to solve
the difficulty some people seem to have
in choosing a wife by trial by music"
Everything depends on the taste Of the
subject under study.
If she prefers waltz music, and, above
all, Strauss intoxicating strains, she is
certainly frivolous.
If she loves Beethoven, she is artis-
tic. but not practical.
Does she prefer List? Then she is
ambitious. while a devotee of Mozart
would be rather prudish. Why an ad-
mirer of Offenbach should be cunning
is not. clear, but remembering the opera
of Faust" it is easy to understand
that any girl preferring Gounod must
be romantic and tender hearted.
1t is hard upon FlOtow that because
his music is out of fashion a taste for
it denotes a vulgar soul. while Gott-
schalk fares little better. pleasing, ac-
cording to the German professor. only
the superficial. Massenet is supposed
10 attract the timid. while devotion
to Wagner's music is a distinct proof
of egoism.
Saint-Saens. however is a composer
the admiration for whom denotes a girl
of intelligence and well balanced char
acter.

The Right Sort.

I wouldn't give an affair without two
or three girls that 1 know. They are
not particularly pretty, only fresh look
ing and animated. They are always
daintiIy gowned, although none OF them
is rich. and two of them make their
own things, but they are always appro-
priately dressed Oh, that's the thing!
l know that when I invite them to a
musicale they won't appear in heavy
stuffs. and when the boys and 1 plan a
[. ip to Chinatown they won't come in
lace robes and spangles. Then they
are absolutely unconscious OF them
selves and spontaneous One of them
sings a bit, another does a little of ev
erything. from a cake walk to arrang-
ing the table in an original fashion for
little dinner, and they are always
good natured and sunny.
Give me an appreciative girl possess
ing good nature. l would rather have
her-and so would most mcmillan the
most brilliant dazzling and admiration
