when he Is married he has still other
trifies to forego. 1t is for the pleasure

his partnership. Everything works Sc
smoothly that he Is happy, very happy
and still there comes to him a special
thrill of sweetness when his wife puts
her arms around his neck and whispers
In his ear that she loves him-loyes
him so very much. No girl could await
the alteration of her lover with greater
Joy than a man loves the tenderness
showered upon him by a loving wife.

Foolish Way Some Women Have.
We would all like our menfolk to be
polite and polished We hope, indeed,
that they are-at least, at heart. There
are some members of the sterner sex,
however, who never show up particu-
larry well in society, and some of these,
unfortunately, have wives who are all
too slow in approaching the fact.
They badger the poor husband to
perform services which are obviously
quite out of his sphere. and which are
i'll and grudgingly done. That he ought
TO be able to make himself generally
useful in the drawing room one must
admit. The man. too, who is some

less happy in small attentions, or, in

The guest who Is waited on by a
man who is more or less forced into 1t
is not happy. The temper of the wife
is worn and spoiled by the irritation
consequent on keeping him up to the
mark, while he himself is oft inclined
to stay away from the drawing room or
house altogether, when his presence
only means complaining and continual
prompting to do what he thinks unnec-
essary things.

The room into which he was shown was
q large one. 1t had three windows look

furnished. The carpet was soft, the
candles were bright. and the supper tray
cleaned invitingly from table between
the windows. AS Frere entered a little

evident that he was not q constant Wis

the terrier betrayed the presence Of a

"Pray sit down."
This was the only greeting that pass

Plain Girls Who Become Pretty.

has not good feature in her face, and

She may have good figure. but that
does not alone make a girl worth look
ing at twice, and certainly does not
gain her reputation for prettiness.
The pretty girl" you will find is i'm
maculately fresh and neat looking. Her
hair looks we'll brushed. and is well and
becomingly arranged her dress is well
chosen in color. and however simple in
style, 1t is thoroughly trim at the neck,
and there is never a suspicion of rags
or untidiness about her skirt braid or
her petticoat
The little things" of that girls toilet
are not slurred over, and her hands and
feet are as dainty as care can make
them. for her innate refinement makes
her abhor the dictum of the sloven that
'all that matters is the general effect
and little details are not worth bother
ing about"
Attention TO these little details make
all the difference between the well and
