Where the Honeymoon Is Long.

Marriage among Moslems in India
is followed by other ceremonies. The
bride with the bridegroom is taken
back to her fathers house after four
days, then again she, comes back to
her husbands house after ten days
stay, and then after stay of 20 days
returns to her fathers house for at
least six months. Thus instead of hav-
ing a short period of honeymoon they
make it last almost year.

the few years since Adam inaugurated

has been firmly fixed as on the first

still remains has to do with keeping

suggestions may not be out Of place.
For q young w0man-Try this one.
Il hereby resolve with earnestness to
no longer insist on grandma wearing

To begin with It Is humane. Just
think Of foreiag the poor old lady to

church steeples under her sole leath-
er! Her silver locks bob under her

painful step she whispers Ouch" Fie

Portable shoes. Another item in favor
Of trying this resolution is the fact
that you have probably never asked
grandma to wear any kind of shoes
she didn't like, SO it should be that
much easier to keep to your resolu-
ton not to do so.
For a young mani resolve from

ment is reprehensible in the highest
degree. Smoking. while of course it
might be solace to you during the
sermon. could not but annoy your
neighbors and fellow worshipers. The
men envy you, leading to countless
domestic difficulties for them. e The
preacher is unable to see whether all
the deacons are awake or not by the
haze from your pipe. Moreover, just
as distinguished statesman once Of
ficially declared that the odor of
cigarettes annoyed him there are
those to whom the smell of q pipe is
a nuisance and the offertory collector
might be one of these Besides, you
would probably be thrown out or ar

siderable care-but II strictly adhered

your daily life. When depending from

the principal advantage to be cited in
