Thirty today" Well, be it So
would 1 the years were twenty?" No.
ct loved you well at twenty" Then
Myself had scarcely doubled ten.
Since when. I've toiled and failed and
fought
Hoped and regretted, learned and
taught;
So having won to mans estate,
WHY should I weary Of my mate?
I ask no marvel of surprise
Flushed cheeks or unacquainted eyes;
Nor holds there any spell for me
In ignorant simplicity.
Let the peach apple hang, though rife
with fragrant juices; mine, the wife
who brings me, wholesome, fair and
good,
The ripened fruit of womanhood;
Who crowns my measure to the lip
With fit and full companionship.
Mere homage to the girl owe;
7 need the woman that I know.
A sober strain, dear; one that fits
with sobered hearts and sobered wits
Yet take my gift of Easter flowers
white harbingers of SUMMER hours.
Gone is. and gone with lingering Lent
"The winter of our discomfort"
Remember how narcissus grew
Where planets, summer-fraught with
dew,
watched Glion, and in swaths among
Lush meadows misty fragrance hung
5 Not sweeter than your breath.
l Oh there
;" With such enchantment in the air,
) All. here or there, by night or day,
K So all the world were far away,
/ our thirty years methinks might prove
: Thirty good reasons why to love.

j. An old married man happened to
meet beaming bridegroom on the lat
ter's first day at business after the
wedding trip.
"Hello!" said he; finished your
honeymoon YETI"
Il don't know" replied the happy
husband, smiling, ct have never been
: able to determine the exact meaning
Of the word honeymoon"

When you take your daily walk,
says Nine. de Thebes, the celebrated
? Partisan necromancer, why are you
sometimes worried and sad, sometimes
h gay? 1t all depends upon whether
you are going north or SOUTH, east OF
west.
IF you travel toward the north
your nerves are Gained; if west, yoI
are melancholy; cheerful if east bound
impatient and fatigued If you wander
toward the south. Not only out OF
doors, but in the house the same holds
true. You will work better and oul
, appetite will improve if you face the
north or the east Your sleep will be
peaceful if the foot of your bed be
turned to the north or east. If your
back be to the south and your face tc

magnetic current that directs the nee
die of the compass, and you are mag
netized positively If you face the
west you also receive waves of posi-.
tive electricity But if you place your
self in the opposite direction, the great
terrestrial current magnetizes you
YOU negatively. If you turn your face
to the east and consequently your back
to the west, you are bathed in mega
tive current and Nightmares are apt &c
trouble your sleep.
These things are important. Re
member them in building your house
even in placing your desk, your bed,
i your favorite armchair And you,
madam, be careful what corner of your
saloon you select when you are to re-
/ ceive your friends on your day at home.
The success of your entertainment de-
ponds on your good spirits and they
| depend on your choice"

The trick the experienced dramatist
knows and that the inexpert dramatist
must learn if he expects to beget real
money for his dramas is that the play
always must interest women. There is
upon record no play which has been
successful for any length of time or to
any extent without possessing interest
for the women that go to the theater
The plays hat have been the greatest
successes Of the past and that are the
greatest successes of the present are
the plays in which a great appeal is
made to women. SO 1t is reasonable
to expect that the successful plays OF
the future will meet the same require
ments.
Plays have been written that have
| ignored women Henrik Ibsen is per
haps the greatest example Of the play
wright whose plays are not CONSTRUCTED
with the idea of gaining applause Of
) hearers, yet those who worship blindll
at the Ibson shrine forget that thel
