DELAYS ARE DANGEROUS.

The bachelors ideal is too often the orna-
occurs to him that sometimes a Sevres vase
serves the purpose of holding the lamp which
lights home and sometimes it's construction
Is such that practical be made Of It,
But he never considers that the idealist is prone
to close his eyes so that he not only cannot tell
serviceable from unserviceable prices of Sevres
but is not even able to distinguish between
Crown Dresden and common clay.
vision which forms the bachelors ideal mate
riazes into wife; that her face is as sweet
as her disposition; her voice as sweet as her
smiles; her hands as lovely in the preparation
the keys of piano. The bachelors ideals find
tnnumerable equivalents in fact. When this is
not the case the fault lies often with the bache-
lor. In business he will not accept anything at
its face value and without due investigation
but he rarely examines into the useful quail
ties and attributes of mind and disposition OF
the fair one whose laugh thrills him the the
atre, whose glances brighten the supper after
ward and whose accomplishments form screen
behind which he looks to learn whether
they backed by solid virtues or irritating
fobles
Perhaps he calls to mind the fate of q man
who endeavored to learn all there was 10 know

THOSE "sLUMBER0US EYES"

Everybody knows the bachelor who raves
about his ideals heavy lidded, "slumberous.
half-sh eyes. 1t takes the aftermath CT a
wedding ceremony to teach such a man that
possessors of sleepy looking eyes are often in
capable of more effort than is necessary to
close them in slumber; that as for perceivlng
an idea not expressed in "scare type nothing
could be more impossible and that eyes half
closed to the defects of the world are just as
much shut its obligations; while with SUCH
a cricket established upon his hearth Bridget
might walk off with the frying pan, as we'll as
it's contents, and Abigail save her white hands
from the drudgery of dusting and sweeping.
A man who has married this type of slum
berous eyed ideal soon wishes that his wife
were better able to look we'll to the ways of
her household" although he is much too loyal
to permit himself the thought that his Ian
guorous lady love might possibly be lazy and
also stupid.
Another type of bachelor idealizes the
of ceaseless energy until after he has done a
ouickstep to the altar and started housekeep-
ing and then the tumultuous activities which
surround him make him thankful to take shell
ter in his office and work upon the problem or
"Why is home not a home?"
Onlv a bachelor who is blind fails to invest his
ideal with frills and furbelows which lend her a
fairylike, butterfly appearance at variance with
anything material in life He is prone to iniag-
inc her always drifting about upon foam crests
of lace with floating diaphanous draperies, and
If this dream becomes realized and the butterfly
alightS in his modest apartment he then learns
the distressing fact that his years salary is in
sufficient to keep those delicious furbelows
cleaned, mended and replaced, while for ex-
pecting a wife to trail such materials about a
kitchen-what man would be so presumptuous?
Restaurants are just packed with one-time bach
elors who worshipped at shrine hung with lace
and chiffon.
Then there is the bachelor who adores deli
cate white hands just tinged with pink at fin
ger tips and palms AS long they are not
his he never thinks of them in a practical
sense Yet, of what use lily white hands
If they cannot sew on missing button, roll
out piecrust dress a salad or, if need be, turn
to even more practical uses to exc out his in
come? And how long will they remain lily white
If she performs these homey duties?
1t is we'll to consider whether the hand of
ones ideal is capable of caressing and spank
ing child with equal thoroughness. A hand |
fit only to be squeezed might we'll be-and |
often proyeS-a lemon.

AWAKENING OF THE
LOVELORN BACHELOR
FAIR MAID OF HIS DREAMS
HARD TO FIND.
Charms That IUumine Courtship
Disappear an the Kitchen and
Nursery.

The bachelor is idealist, and whether his
dreams be of consort to share his throne or a
helpmate to tend his hovel the most prosalc ana
unimaginative man living will at least believe
his future wife something above the average Of
Womankind.
1t is only the comic artist who sees the pros
pective hepmate of the bachelor through the
medium of a kitchen doorway. The bachelor
himself beholds her through the dazzling flare
of the footlights or some rose colored cloud of
his imagining where she appears creature Of
aerial loveliness. entirely disassociated with any
of the probabilities of life He always views
her in Elusive atmosphere.
The bachelors ideal is always beautiful to
him. Happily all men do admire the same
type of beauty, for, although Helen of Troy
typified the unattainabe beauty of the world.
which men were ready to fight for and die in the
effort to obtain, every unmarried man sees his
Helen from different point of view, dreams of
her as endowed with qualities peculiar to her
self, and fances her the one woman in the world
worth possessing. Nevertheless, the bachelor
who has not been able to win the delectable
maid of his dreams has much to console him in
the reflection that the qualities which a man
most admires in his sweetheart are seldom
those which he most appreciates in a wife.
The artist is prone to endow with a classic
nose the visionary beauty who Will one day
terialize for him. But what pleasure would a
classic nose afford if it only shifted at his
every endeavor to make life happy for It's
owner, if 1t tilted dsdainfuy at his little
world and remained classically cold as that
of a marble Venus?
No matter what the bachelors own tenn
permanent, he generally likes think of his
ideal as one with dimpled cheek and sparkling
eye. Perhaps marriage teaches him that eyes
which sparkle and flash in merriment can also
dart sparks and flashes of a far different char
acter and that the latter scntilIations are much
the more frequent. The bachelor does not re-
fleet that while the pyrotechnics of beauty are
fascinating to the beholder it
might be we'll to examine into the nature of the
guncotton used in loves artillery and-should
that prove satisfactory-learn whether there
is enough of it to last beyond the honeymoon.

COMMUTERS AND
THEIR LOST TIME.
SUGGESTIONS FOR PUT
TING DEL4TS TO USE.
No Need of Wasting the Years
Spent on WiRter Wmts
on Trains.

What shall q cornn1uter do with the time he loses
iourneying to New York train that loiters at
every snowdrift and lalygags in every tunnel?
This is d pressing problem recently accentUated
by the close calculations of one L. c. Van Dyke,
Of Broad street and East Orange, in letter TO
President Truesdale of the Lackawanna Railroad.
Using the painstaking arithmetic that has made
financial district famous, Mr.. Van Dyke figured
that the of five TO twenty minutes delay
each day he had personally lost trains 10i hours
of mean or aggravated time in the last two years
Multiplying the number of passengers by the
length OF the train and the breadth of the nui-
sance gave a wastage for train amounting TO
eight and sixtenths years This equalled one mill
ion and quarter Of business minutes, which are
considered extremely valuable downtown. 4 lot of
business and also some pleasure can be compressed
into the space Of minute. Mr. Van Dyke. remorse-
lessly proceeding with his computation took up the
effects Of a slight fall Of nine inches Of snow
which so paralyzed your traffic that trains were
delayed from to three hours.
An unparalleled slaughter Of time took place on
this occasion in and around Hoboken. All The COM
rauters on all the trains deposited or lost twelve
years of Sl2 working days each" in the burg OF
Hoboken Chunks of time disconsolately wandered
about the streets OF Hoboken, and, entering bier
etuben. blew the froth off ample schoonors. 1t is
said the pckpockets got some Of the time, or at
least timepIeces-
M Van Dyke for some reason did not ask presi-
dent Truesdale TO return the time which he had
lost. although the Lackawanna maintains lost
and found department but merely suggested that
81 .ooooeo train shed the Hoboken yards would
help in the snowfall, and he said that If
the LackaWanna kept on ii might have to enter the
railroad joke column with the Erie. and similarly
be compelled to publish self-damning Jests in its
time tables to turn insurrection into laughter A
syrnpathetic reply was sent by Mr. Truesdae, which
seemed indicate that he ready for the pro-
sranme of humorous time tables and could dash
off few little paragra phs Ia Erie at any time
Mr. Truesdale wrote that he himself was losing

CHARMS THAT ARE ARTIFICIAL.

AS for dimples. if the fair who finally
enchains him is without these witching
cular defects. least he has the knowledge
that they occasioned by defective muscles
and that-for d consderation-face surgeons
add dimples at will to any countenance
Has not the bachelor from time immemorial
raved the coral lips and rosebud set with
pearls" of his adored one? Does any one
member a bachelor who ever saw inCongruity in
pearls cleaning from a rosebud? And how
many, after marriage, have had disclosed to
them the process of converting those lips to
coral by dabbing japanese carmine over them
with a cameTs hair brush? Or how many have
related their narrowed feelings upon beholdng
of the admired pearls" removed to an
other receptacle when the honeymoon was still
in its ascendency?
The bachelor is an exacting being He can
not bear to be disillusoned in the matter of his
Ideal OF feminine loveliness. His devotion to the
fair he has clothed in illusions will stand
just so many blows. Then there comes a time
when a straw VIII break its back One idealist
bore the discovery that the Gloom upon his
lady's cheek owed more TO art than to nature,
but he still cherished the fatuous deusion that
the complexion beneath its artificial damask
was lovely In hue and texture. He stifed a
pang when it transpred that the dusky shadow
in eyelash and eyebrow grew on the end of an
eyebrow pencil, and poulticed his pain with the
reflection that the eyeashes were long and the
eyebrows well shaped. But when, upon a brisk
walk In the dusk when the final word had all
but been spoken. she. after hasty pats over her
head besought him to retrace his steps and as
sist her to hunt for her missing curls-those
dear curls which he had thought so adorable
