WHEN A BRIDE is NOT A BRIDE.

Some London papers have been dis
cussing the subject of honeymoons and
have decided that a bride ceases to be
a bride" and becomes a wife" after
six weeks of matrimony.
This is absurd. says the New York
Evening Mail, because there are some
wise women who are brides all the
days of their lives, and there are some
foolish women who cease to be brides
or even wives twenty-four hours after
the wedding. No time limit can be set
upon the honeymoon. 1t may go down
with a dull, sickening thud after a
week of married life. or it may shine
on merrily to the golden wedding. A
woman may know that she has ceased
to be a bride only:
When she finds herself saying un-
complimentary things to her husband.
The first time her husband criticises
her frocks.
When she discovers that she is jeal-
GUS.
When he grows economical with his
kisses.
When she begins to nag.
When he becomes sarcastic about the
food.
When she does not mind coming to
breakfast in curl papers.
When he tells her how pretty some
other woman looks.
When she begins to remember the
virtues of the man she didn't marry.
When he begins to eulogize his
mother.
When a meal becomes so quiet that
she can plan whole frock between
the courses.
When he begins to go out to his
club
When she begins to hunt up her old
friends and enjoy calling on them.
When he comes in late for dinner.
When she forgets to come home from
the matinee in time to greet him be-
fore dinner.
When the days while he is away be-
gin to seem too short instead of too
long.
AS none of these things need ever
happen If two people are bent upon
prolonging their happiness, there isn't
a scientist living who could set an ex-
act date for the waning of the honey
moon.

Mr.. GETTHERE'S PROPOSAL.

They were talking about their love
AFFAIRS, as women will when they get
in a confidential mood, says the New
York Press. Every one present, ex-
cept Mrs. Getthere. had told of her ex-
perience when the important question
was popped" When Mrs. G. hesi-
tated her companions urged her harder
than ever.
WELL" she confessed, "if must tell
the truth, / never had a proposal"
Did the Job yourself in leap year,
eh?" asked Mrs. Sharp.
Not a bit of 1t. You know what a
diffident man Bob is. 1 could not help
seeing that he loved me devotedly, and
him as sin is sure of punishment. [
let two other good chances go by be-
fore they reached the proposal stage
during the seven months of Bob's
courtship. One afternoon he sent me
a box of chocolates with a beautiful
diamond ring inside. Our initials were
engraved on one side of the shaft and
a chain-link on the other. It was
quite a shock to my girlhood's dreams
of the sort of proposal / wanted. /
cried a bit. and l really believe now
they were tears of joy. Anyway, /
had the ring on my engagement finger
when Bob called that evening. In a
few moments we were chatting away
about the plans for our wedding as
naturally as though we had been en-
gagged for weeks"

A WONDERFUL WOMAN.

The appearance of woman COMPETE
tor in a ploughing match in Derby
shire reminds the Sheffield Telegraph
of one Phoebe Brown, who died just
half a century ago, aged so. This ex-
traordinary woman, who lived with her
mother in cottage nearly opposite the
High Tor at Matlock Bath, could walk
nearly forty mile day when young,
could lift hundredweight in each
hand, and carry fourteen score. She
undertook any kind of manual labor,
as holding the plough, driving the
team, threshing wheat with the fail.
and thatching the stacks. Her chief
avocation was breaking horses at a
guinea a week. She always rode with
out saddles, and was considered the
best judge of horses and cows in the
Peak.
But Phoebe had Also a liking for
sport and for art. She was a good
shot, and carried her gun on her Shout
der. She was fond of Milton, Pope
and Shakespeare. and performed on
several instruments. including the
flute, violin and harpischord, and play
ed the bass VOL in Matlock Church.
She was a carpenter, mason and smith,
and mainly by her own hand labor
built another room to the cottage for
the reception of a hardpischord which
a lady presented to her. At her own
request a local clegyman wrote her cpl
taph, and here it is:
Here lies romantic Phoebe,
Half Ganymede. half Hebe:
A maid of mutable condition.
A jockey, cowherd and musician.

She sat down on the edge of the bed
and sobbed and cried as if her heart
would break. I never felt so sorry for
anybody in my life. I couldn't stand
it to witness such grief. 1 went out
and shut the door and left her there
to fight it out alone"
Mr.. EmDson's own voice was husky
when he spoke.
Poor woman" he said. that is
tough. How long did she stay?"
About fifteen minutes. I think.
only saw her a moment when she came
out. She had to hurry to catch a train.
She just stopped to thank me and say
goodbye"
Had to catch a train?" said Willie
Empson. ''Oh 1 say"
Then he made a dash for his own
romantic den. The rest of the family
followed in haste and helped him to
figure out the extent of his loss.
She got away with that silver comb
and brush. the opera glasses, a pair
of cuff buttons and $40 in cash." said
Willie. "Oh, motherl"
Mrs. Empson was indignant, but still
sympathetic. 81 don't care if she was
a thief" she said. "she certainly knew
how to cry the most beautifully of
anybody 1 ever saw"

WOMAN'S WORLD

One could better understand
mothers desire for her daughter to
marry rich, if rich people were inva-
riably happy, or to make a brilliant
match, if brilliant matches always
turned out brilliantly. But they don't.
We have all known of brilliant mar
riages. the splendor of whose details
were telegraphed all over the country,
but whose sequel was a broken-heart-
ed woman coming back to her own
people after a few years of intolera-
BILE misery. We have seen young girls
arrayed in bridal white walk up the
church aisle with men old enough to
be their fathers, and heard the whis
pered comments of how lucky Lucy
Poorgirl was to catch that rich rail-
road president, and later on we have
sat in judgment on the poor girl when
her heart. rebelling against its fate,
strayed across the border land of con-
ventionality, and found the mate her
mother denied her.
No one will advocate a girl being
perfectly free and unguided in max
ing her selection of a husband, and
mother is justified in doing anything
she can to prevent her daughter from
throw herself away on a man who is
idle, or disspated, or worthless. Any
girl with a grain of sense in her head
knows that the man who has never
able to support her, and matrimony
with him will be the kind of grinding
poverty that would kill the most ro-
bust case of sentiment that ever lived.
That is the poverty and hard times
that has no hope to gild its horizon,
and no respect to make it's present
endurable, and the mother should use
just as much effort to keep her
daughter from marrying that type of
a man as she would to prevent her
committing suicide in any other way.
But, there is another kind of mar
riage to a poor mantle man who has
youth. and health, and ability, and
who has already gotten foothold in
the world. His wife may have to work
and struggle, and do without luxuries
for a few years, but he is worth it.
She will find nothing but sweetness,
and happiness, in fighting the battle
of life by his side, and any mother
ought to think a long time before she
raises a finger to prevent her daugh-
ter from sharing in the joy and the
privilege of helping the man she loves.
For there are no other marriages so
happy and so complete as those in
which young couple labor, and plan,
and achieve together. Dorothy Dix.

"Know her well, eh?" asked Brickell.
"Well, slightly" replied Gardner.
Cad! man, she steps like a thorough

nervously into the hotel lobby and
asked for Gardner.

The bellboy returned with a mes
sage that Gardner awaited him in his
private parlor. In a second he was off,
bounding up the stairs forgetful of
the elevator. Breathlessly he rushed
to Gardeners door and raped.
Gardner opened the door and usher
ed him into the presence of "the
thoroughbred" who was more strilx-
ingly beautiful than ever, in a superb
imported dinner gown.
Brickell was so dazed by being sud-
denly thrust into the presence of such
vision of loneliness he almost lost
his breath and forgot to remove his
silk hat.

amazement over meeting the lovely
aparition in his private parlor, drawied
out: Mr.. Brickell. permit me to in

DINNER WITH

IMPOSSIBLE IN HER DAY.

In one room. says the New York
Tribune, were half dozen green card
tables lit up by softly shaded lamps
and wax candles, around which men
and women were sitting in evening
dress. All the men were smoking and
one or two of the women. Every
thing was quiet, intense. The occa-
sional remarks about the play and the
discussion about certain points of the
game while the cards were being dealt
served only to emphasize the general
absorption in the great game of bridge.
The adjoining room was gayer, more
noisy more brilliantly lighted. Around
the one long table in the center were
seated more men and women in even
ing dress. Here, too, men were smok-
ing, and all were playing cards. This
was the poker room. and here was
much talking and laughter.
1T is certainly very queer" said the
bewildered mistress of the house, who
had allowed her family to give card
party" and who sat with her knitting
and a friend who was visiting her. by
the fire. looking in at the unwonted
scene. 81 feel that l do not recognize
my own rooms. Why, they are all
gambling" she added suddenly, as if
just realizing the fact. 1T looks as
if it was one of those French salons
that one reads about in novels, and
yet they are all our own quiet friends,
and neighbors, who lead sensible, good
lives and do their duty creditably in
that state of life in which it has
pleased Providence to place them. How
things have changed" she concluded,
resignedly: "such a scene as this in
one of our houses would not have
been possible fifteen years ago. Now,
would it. Matilda"
1T certainly would not" answered
Miss Matilda, sharply, and, as her hos
tess felt. wholly disapprovingly.

IF A GIRL ISN'T TALL ENOUGH.

The Little Ladies' Club. says the
New York Sun, meets every Wednes-
day and Saturday at D. m. The
members are young women, and some
older women, too. who are trying to
grow taller.
we are tired of being short" said a
member OF the club. Hearing that
ones hight could be increased, we
formed the club to try to grow taller.
Applicants for membership in this club
must be wealthy. No other need APP
ply And this is true for several rea-
sons.
I'm the first place, the tuition is ex-
pensive. The instructor gets $25 every
afternoon. Then the apparatus is
dear, and new apparatus must be con-
stantly bought or provided. This, with
the change of costume required, the
rental of the hall and the refresh
ments, which are part of the regime,
make the course an expensive one.
Besides these things there must
be maids and rubbers, and there must
be a fine supply Of the best massage
oils. cold creams and all things that
will plump out the body.
THE idea is that to increase the
hight even a wee bit the body must
be provided with the necessary fuel.
This includes massage oils containing
all the elements which are provided
for a growing child.
Then girls who want to grow taller
must take a great deal of moist food.
moisture makes the body grow. An ex-
pertinent to prove this was recently
made upon two growing girls in VII
emma.

chose to do so. The other girl ate
moist cereals and creams and sauces
and all kinds of moist viands. The re-
suit was that the girl fed on moist
foods grew much taller than the other.
ain the Little Ladies Club nothing
is neglected that might make its MEM
bers grow. All are eligible up to the
age of so. over so they may still join.
but they are told that they will grow
no taller.
"On the contrary every effort must
be made to keep the woman OF so from
growing shorter. She must constantly
take the stretching exercises.
1T is a fact that women begin 10
