THE LATIN HONEYMOON.

Aside from revolutions, Uruguay.
says a Montevideo letter in the ST.
Louis Globe Democrat, is probably
more noted for its pretty girls than
any other thing. The romantic side of
Southern life has been heralded a great
deal, but the average Northerner, after
sizing up the situation in a sentimental
way, Is likely to conclude that the
courtships are too strict and the mar
riages not strict enough. The Latin
honeymoon is noted for it's bravity.
The groom's ardency soon burns itself
out. He is as Indifferent in the role
of a husband as he was constant in
that of a sutton. The wife accepts his
inconsistency and devotes herself to
bringing up her children. 1t would be
untrue to say that this is always the
case, but 1t is generally so. The light
manner in which South American men
hold their domestic relations is not at
all in accordance with Anglo Saxon
standards. The Northern wife gener-
ally leaves the roof of the man who
neglects her so wantonly. Southern
men are always starting revolutions
and the women ought to try their hand
at the game. They certainly have the
provocation.

MABEL'S OUTFIT.

She took more things than she will

She took her dark blue etamine, her

Twelve nainsooks, twenty organizes
that cost me lots of toll.
Foulards galore, two crepe de chimes,
mousseline de sole,
Two taffetas embroidered mull-Lord,

Some dotted swiss as fine as mist, ball
dresses by the bunch,
With gowns for breakfast. dinner, tea,
and other gowns for lunch.
OF snowy muslins she took ten, of
shirtwaists ninety-two,
OF yachting suits and white duck
skirts enough to please a shrew
She's also got her bathing suit-it
surely is a dream,
Made out of hardly anything worth
mentioning, 'twould seem.
She's got a gross of petticoats, eight
hundred pairs Of hose,
And handkerchiefs enough to blow
each blessed human nose; q
Shes forty-two kimonas and a hum
dredweight of gloves,
And dressing gowns and picture hats
and other things in droves.
She took a dozen mirrors and a peck
of powder puffs,
With bottle after bottle of the best
complexion stuffs;
With thirty-seven parasols and things

Knows quite a little more about than

We stood around to see her off and

She'd miss her catch and make us buy

THE RECTOR'S MISTAKE.

After the service in an Episcopal
church in Fifth avenue last Sunday,
says the New York Sun, the rector
waited in the anteroom of the vestry,
as is his custom, to meet any one who
wished to see him personally or on
business. A young woman and a
young man were among the callers.
The fingered until the others had
gone. The young woman then in
troduced the young man, merely CIV

asked the young woman of the rec
tor.
"wednesday is taken up. I have a
number of engagements on that day,
unless your business is a question of
life or DEATH said the rector, with a
twinkle in his eyes.

the young woman, looking at the young
man, who was getting his cane badly
tangled up with his legs.

impartial, careful judgment on such
questions as national marriage and
divorce law. Not all Of the divorced

One day after he'd been doing it for
about six months, I thought I'd surprise
him. Just before he'd finished his feed
took all the matches out Of the box and
slipped them in a drawer. A minute later
he came around to the cashiers desk,
handed over his dime, and reached for a
match, as usual. There wasn't any. His
