the pleasures and recreation which
popular habit has converted almost into
necessities, and he will discover that
the young wife of the present day ex-
poets much more and performs much
less than did her mother Of thirty years
ago.
She will not be content to sit at home
Of evenings and darn stockings while
he reads aloud from some improving
book. She will not be content 10 re-
gard a quiet rubber Of whist with the
next-door neighbors as a giddy and de-
lightful break In the monotony of a
month.
Nor viii she recognize the existence of
such an institution as washing-day
while there is a steam laundry within
hailing distance of the family copper.
She VIII not be content 10 wear a dress
which has been turned so many times in
color and substance that all the neigh
bors date their children's ages by it
And she will expect to squeeze a new
hat and a matinee or two out Of every
weeks housekeeping.
And the young man OF today being
far older and wiser than he has any
business to be. knows all these things
and lodges matrimOny gently, but firm
~. just as lOn~. as he can. so that it
often happens that. before he knows
where he Is, he slides past the suscept-
ible age, and settles down into a steady
going. cluo-hunting bachelor. wasting
his time on billiards and bridge.
And from the ladies' point OF view
husband caught young, before his bab bits
are fixed, takes but a tithe of the
breaking in which the thirty-year-old
Dachelor requires. AS for the man of
five-and-thirty. he is best left alone
from the matrimonial point of view
II he has "A baby he will regard il
with mixture OF awe and resentment
meeting IL as he would meet A new and
uouptIul member of his pet club, and
holdinS II about as happily and as
handily as he would hold a live shell. for
the art OF nursing babies is only learn
en- to it when young.
:" therefore,, taking all things into con-
sideration, let us marry before we have
reached the sensible age, so that we
NAV grow sensible together.
