FOR BEAUTY SEEKERS.

A bad-tempered woman can never
be beautiful.
Cultivate graciousness, for it is ma
lures chief charm.
Harmony in dress pleases more
eyes than costly geegaws.
A well-balanced admiration Of ones
self is a great beautifier.
II you have no thought for your
self, remember that others admire
beauty.
Beauty may be only skin deep, out
it has more value than most KINDS OF
plating
Things which beautify an old wom-
an may detract from the appearance
of the young girl.
French women never allow them
selves nor any one else to suggest
that they are growing old.
Don't wait until tomorrow to think
of the graceful form and comely face.
For by that time middle age settles
and formidable crows feet will be
with you to stay.
No woman need lack some kind OF
beauty. If nature has denied her a
beautiful face she can make up for 1t
by acquiring wonderful grace OF
form, or such beautiful hands that
she can be the envy of her set.

change operator, and the engagement
was with regard to the business that
he could not tell his wife of at that
time, bat Mrs Wilson did not know
this.
The poor little woman allowed her
self to get into an unfortunate state
Of mind during the long hours that
followed. She told herself over and
over that Harry had had some. reason
for acting the way he did, but every
time she told herself so the memory
of her husbands unexplained depar
ture was recalled. In spite of her
self she could not associate the two,
and though they did have a vital
relation it was not of the kind at~all
that she imagined.
1t was nearly o'clock the next
alorning when Wilson slipped quietly
iuto the house. He felt like singing,
but he tiptoed upstairs and into his
room like thief. lest he should
awake his wife. She, with strain1ns
ears, noted all this and charged it up
against him, while Wilson prepared
for bed and went to sleep like school
boy. For the wife, however, there
was no such thing as sleep, and the
very fact that her husband did not
speak to her seemed the final proof of
all that she suspected. 1t did not oc
cur to her that she had lain still and
that she must have appeared to be
slumbering soundly.
At the breakfast table Mrs. Wilson
showed the effects of her unhappy
vigil. Her husband was his usual self
and, maNiike, he did not notice any.
thing peculiarly out of the way in her.
Finally, when she could bear the sus-
pense no longer, she broke the silence
by asking:
where we're you last night?"
Wilson looked up in surprise at the
challenge in her voice, as he answered
good-humoredly enough:
Didn't 1 tell you I had an engage
ment! You beard the telephone call
1 got, didn't your"
eyes, did, replied the wife, with
a catch in her voice, "and that's just
what l want to know about. The call
was from a woihan!"
From a weman-Good heavens,
Bess, you don't'.-Why, you must be
crazy! What nonsense is this, any

PROMISE TO OBEY" DIDN'T
COUNT.

If a bride wishes to make secret
reservations to her promises at the
marriage altar of course neither BRIDE
groom nor clergyman can prevent her
1oing so. At luncheon one day last
week for a bride-elect the talk ran
on the word obey" The girls de-
cided that part of the formula was
obsolete. One young wife was at t~e
luncheon, and it was recalled that she
had promised to obey and had pro-
nounced the word bravely. The girls
leased her until at last she explained
thus: You see, in some churches you
have to say obey, and | was married
in one of them. But when | came TO
those words just crossed my fingers
and so the promise didn't count at

A Bride in i Hurry.

Every summer, when the coast OF

Landing at the Seal Islands not
long ago, he found an assembaage

the king" or leading factor; for the
king, having buried four wives, had
resolved to take a fifth, and he had
gathered the neighbors to witness his
joy in the acquisition.
There are not many neighbors In
Labrador but there were enough in
this instance to fill both rooms OF
his house. When the bishop had been
warmed and welcomed, and was pre-
pared to speak the words that would
fill the Seal Islands with rejoicing, he
discovered that the union was impos-
sible because the bride and groom
were too nearly related.
'The church forbids this match"
he declared and great was the sensa-
ton. The bride sank down in tears
of modification and temper, and the
groom scratched his head in bewilder-
ment Something had to be done, and
quickly, for it might be a year before
a clergyman appeared on that coast
again.
"Oh, well, there's plenty of others, !"
said the king, Frightening as he sur
veyed his guests. He turned to a
woman in the company and asked
"Will you have me, Lizzie?"

guest, Indignantly.
"Will you have me, Jane?"
mot if you were the last man on

"How for you, Moggart?"
"Never!"
The king looked ruefIlly over the
wedding party, and spying the cook
at the far side of the room, marched
over to her resolutely, seized her by
the arm, saying. Come along, Sue,
you'll dol" dragged her, none too
willing, before the bishop, and so they
were married.
