try we could find an explanation. Let us
go back to the season of ceurtship and
compare il with the present. Thus for
example:
During eourtShip the young man takes
us sweetheart to the theater and sun
airy places of amusement, occasionally or
frequently, ms pleaseS her; after marriage
rarely or not at all, as best plaases
During courtShip he brings her How-
ers otten-huge, expensive lunches of
c"rhat tons or roses or ehrysanthemumS
according to the season; after marriage
he looks upon the purchase of flowers as
unnecessary, and, besides, it's 4 sinful
waste OF money.
During courtship he brings her innu-
lAefabie boxes of candy and sometimes q
huge basket of fruit; after marriage-he
discovers that candy is ruinouS rs the
heaith and if She wants fruit she can
stI II herself ut the corner grocery.
butlhS courlship he is patient and gen-
Ue WIN her and quite willing to overlook
tne IauitS he observes in her; after mar
iiaSe-patlence ceases to be virtue and
ne doesn't hesitate to remind her of her
faults.
During couTtship he is careful not to
say anything against her friends and reA
atiN es; after marriage-he expresses .hiS
opinions quite freely aud he has con-
GUIDED thar her relatives are stupid,
lIreeome, unlntereStiug lot
During courtship he will tramn long
distances, through all kinds OF weather
ana endure many discomforts ''for ner
sweet sake: after marriage he prefers
10 take his ease and not TO he disturbed.
During courtship he is always gallant
and always raises his hat when he meets
her III the street or any public place: aft
er marriage he wears a tight-ftting hat,
one that doesn't come off eaSily-and il
costs nm an effort and some incans
Nemence to raise his arm
During courtship how carefully he es-
corts her across the street fearing that
some vulgar brewery wagon will run her
down; and how gently he assists her on
or off the car-after marriage he lets her
paddle her own canoe and if she hap
pens to trip or have Il hairbreadth escape,
he demands to know right then and there
Why she IS not more careful. Etc, etc
Ihe wife. too, would profit by review
ing what was and what is.
During courtship she thinks lie Is the
dearest fellow in the world and she will
brook no criticism of him-no adverse re-
marks about him-after marriage she is
quite willing to admit that he has nil-
merous faults and shortcomings, some
vices and Objectionable habits and she is
rather pleased when others Corroborate
her views in this regard.
During courtship she is always careful
to appear before him to the best adj
vantage-after marriage She doesn't care
much about dress except when she ex-
poets company and then she is ambitious
to look her best
During courtship she always meets him
with pleasant smile and a cheerful
voice and is never angry-after marriage
she develops the capacity for frowning or
pouting, nor can she be said to be ayerse
to giving an occasional display of temper.

to he extrayagant and she even repri-
mands him for spending 50 much money
on hereafter marriage She makes it quite
plain to him that he is stingy and selfish
and that he is shamefully neglecting her

really taken place-Men and Women
