Take, for instance, the daughter OF small ouU

is, perhaps the eldest the youngest OF NOT
very numerous family, or she may be the only
one. and correspondingly indulged and petted'
Life has never been very hard for her. She IS
required to help her mother little in the house.
and her father occasionally in the shop, and both
parents are glad to keep her at home for the sake
of her bright company Presently Miss Stay-at-
Home is attracted by smart young workman
who is in the habit of making his purchases at
her fathers shop every Saturday night, and also
making a point of exchanging few words WIFI
the charming daughter of the establishment.
When those few words have in course OF time
heightened into boldly pretty speeches and de-
cared love and admiration, what more natural
than that Miss Stay-at- Home should end by tall-
ing in love with Mr.. Workman, and finally, to her
parents horro. and amazement, announce her IN

finest young fellow in the circle OF acquaintance

she will certainly have to rough it in many unac-
customed ways, and perhaps endure hardshps
which unless softened and lghtened by love, the
time might come to make her regret ever having
taken such step?
Well, without denying that it is a pity to say
the least of it, when girls fix Their affections upon

little world would term unsuitable partners, the
fact remains that in all questions of marriage
love is the chief thing that should count
After ALL a woman is happier living in log

with husband whom she regards with indiffer-

Mr.. Workman's friends and relations may have
characteristics and habits which will prove try

and surroundings; but true love has way of
shutting its eyes to faults and failings in the
loved one the mere suggestion of which annoy
