Good Nature,

Good nature is one of the best as.
sets woman can have. A good-natur.
ed woman is always welcome. even
when sne is rather slow-witted, and a
woman Of the opposite class is to be
dreaded and stunned, because what
ever brightness she possesses is of
the personal and cutting kind. Many a
woman, brilliant and entertaining, is
feared quite as much as she is admired
because even her closest friends are
not safe from her wit and satire.
Many a. social engagement is broken
on account of such women. Good na-
ture, like other desirable attributes,
can be cultivated. One can be edu-
Gated to accept little annoyances with
complacency. The victory over one
disagreeable thing gives strength to
meet the next two, and when philoso-
ply that teaches one to remedy ills
when a remedy is possible and accept
the incurable ones with fortitude and
good nature, is learned, life is compar-
atively smooth.

Interesting and Instructive
Discourse on Matrimony.

The seating capacity of St AIMS

gathered to listen to Rev. Dr. Cornelius
F. Thomas, the pastor, discourse on
matrimony. His subject was Com
pany Keeping and Courtship," In part
Rev. DIR. Thomas said:
Some time ago a certain Catholic
bishop issued pastoral letter eXhort-
ing young women to pray for hus-
bands. 1t would have been more com
plete If he had added that young men
should pray for wives. Marriage is a
noble, high and laudable ambition, and
all, with the exception OF the religious
ly inclined and confirmed spinsters,
should aim to get married. In ancient
times and now in some oriental coun-
tries, it is a disgrace to remain in the
single state. 1t Is now my duty to tell

has often been asked how one should
get divorce land the answer has been
get married.
THE allimportant point is first to
get girl. In former times men kid
mapped their wives. That belonged to
the days Of savagery Then some
bought them for cash or by labor and
some women came high. In more re-
cent times matches We're made by the
parents, and that custom still prevails
in some parts Of Ireland, France and
Italy. In the present days the young
couple choose for themselves In these
days also the young begin to think of
love at a very tender age. They begin
to sit up and take notice hardly before
they have left school,
"This is particularly noticeable in a
boy When you find a lad who has his
shoes carefully polished, his nails
manicured, his pants creased and
wearing a good tie. you can put 1t
down that this boy is in love and has
a girl around the corner.
Now for some advice! In the first
place make a study OF yourself. Look
into your disposition. your character,
habits. and make close study of your
aims. ambitions and energies. When
you have done this look around for a
girl who will fit in with these charac-
teristics, and who by her similar tastes
will make you happy. Extremes some
times meet. but they never produce
happiness in marriage.
