LITTLE PROBLEMS OF
LOVE AND MARRIAGE
When a Couple Become Engaged Should They
Tell Each Other Their Past?

let the decision be hers as TO whether
she will accept the responsibility. Ii
seems mean and an underhand thing 10
do to take advantage Of her ignorance
and bring consequences upon her which
she at least ought to have the right to
say she is willing to bear.
The same is true of many other habits
a man may have formed when young.
though they now have no dominion over
him. II they are the sort that may
bring III health or dishonor upon the
wife or family, he should frankly tell
the girl and let her say whether she will
share these consequences with him. she
should at least have the right TO decide
whether these things shall come into her
life.
It may seem pity when a man has
entirely reformed and these acts OF HIS
are wholly OF the past. that they should
be raked Up. But eyildoing always has
It's consequences. and man should at
least be man enough to shoulder them
and not want TO shove part Of them upon
an innocent woman.
The same rule holds good for the
woman. A woman. Of course. IS not
likely to have misdeeds Of the character
Of mems in her life But she may have
something in the nature Of scandal in
her past that might possibly cast a
shadow over her married life. She ought
just as frankly 10 let the man know and
see II he is willing to help her fight It.
These are the sort Of things il would
seem one ought 20 reveal. The trihlng
love affairs, the scrapes at school. and
such escapades as figure in one way or
another in nearly every ones life one
can tell or not, as each deems best. They
usually are told for the fun there is IN
the telling. But It doesn't seem right to
permit the person one marries 10 be ig-
norant OF serious matters that may affect
the happiness Of the married life.

Whether 10 let the dead past bury its
dead or 10 rake it up and expose its skele-
ton TO the Mortified gaze of the one who
loves him is a question many newly
engaged man or woman has pondered,
Many a man who has things in his
past he doesn't like to think about, and
which he has now put far from him. sees
little use In bringing them TO light. There
may be incidents In the past life of the
woman which are entirely of the past,
but which still bring a blush of shame
to her face when she thinks of them. but
which seem to her of little use in re-
counting now. Ought they to tell each
other these things? Is there a moral
question at issue?
good deal depends upon the nature Of
these deeds in themselves. If they are
the mere harmless escapades and flirta-
tons of youth, with no injury resulting
10 anybody from them and only useful
experience CLEANED, one can tell them or
not. They may be told and forgiven or
laughed over. OF II the other party IS
of a disposition 10 be severe upon such
peccadilloes. 10 make much OF them and
perhaps to make life unpleasant for
awhile because OF them. it is just as wise
70 say nothing about them.
But when the matters are Of a more
serious nature, tho proposition is very
different
Suppose the man has been a drunkard
and reformed; reformed perhaps entirely,
but nevertheless once this terrible habit
was fastened upon him. Shall he tell
Of Il?
II seems the only honorable thing to do
and TO let the woman decide whether she
will still marry him. A habit like that
may mean much TO his health: it may
mean much to the health of children
should they have any. II might IN time
return. It only seems the square thing
TO let her know what she is facing and

OF WEAKNESS, longing for quiet, vivid
recollection Of the past TO obscure tha

at forty a woman has scarce reached
her mental prime, so wisely and kindly
have the gods decreed that the height
Of brain power shall follow on the pass
ing of youthfulness. And Nine. de Stael
would have told US with much emphasis
that brains do count-after all.
In one Of Mr.. Anthony HOPES most
popular novels there is society matron
who reaches the particular age in ques-
ton. She promptly puts OF all vestige
OF youth by taking 10 bonnets and man
ties and combing back the fringe which
was worn by all smart women In those
days Of the story. Was she renouncing
the world? Oh. To; far from 1t. But the
influence that the ordinary bright woman
exercises did not suffice. Hers should be

the solid folds of velvet were her insignia
OF Office, the trapplngs Of a person OF
weighty importance.
There was. of course, more than a
touch OF humor about her for those born
with a gift of seeing It. but I quote the
lady as one who had firmly grasped the
fact of a sure compensation in middle
age.
The scene shifts, Of course. Things
that delighted us in youth have. perhaps.
ceased to charm. Yet appreciation grows
by what IL feeds on. The beauty Of little
children. the pink and white cheeks OF a
girl. the dancing radiance of young lives
appeal to as who are older with always
growing and increasing delight. II ever

The Fancy Initial.

From the Boston Herald.
An odd. quick method Of working the
thicker parts OF old English letters in
stead OF padding and covering with satin
stitch, is modified buttonholing.
One side of the outline IS bottonhoIed
at regular spaces. the length OF stitch be-
ing taken 10 opposite line. The other
side Of the letter IS then worked. the but

Use rather heavy cotton, coarser than
for solid embroidery. Both buttonholings
may be alike, or one can be blue the
other white or two tones Of a shade.

Woman Makes Mistake in Thinking
She Need Not BE Fascinating.
From the Boston Herald.
A clever. well-known doctor was asked
recently what advice ne would give the
newly married I would tell the wom-
an" he said, never TO let her husband
think he had quite won her; that there
was not something held in reserve to give
him. a woman never seems to think she
ought TO be fascinating to her husband
after marriage
He lectured the woman. of course.
There is a universal tendency in mankind
10 do this
Another doctor we know once said in
our hearing that he believed from ell he
had seen. that the happiness Of marriage
depended primarily upon the man. Were
he worth anything. the peace OF the
household was assured.
Letters to the newly married should be
might be said.
First of all, neither should take the de-
votion of the other for granted, making
no effort 10 cultivate or retain what each
felt to be due. There is nothing one
should kin quicker in marriage than the
first tendency in either one to discuss the
peculiarities of the other before third
person. Nothing is more fatal, and moth
ing is more vulgar. No one can ever take
a greater liberty with the other. These
personalities ara never funny, though
they are often made to DO service as fam
fly jokes, brought out for the entertain
ment OF the stranger.
Were We 10 write such a letter. we
should like to oeg that nagging be pro-
hlbited and teasing secrets: that mutual
concessions be INDUCED; that every dis
appointment In the other be regarded as
an opportunity for helping that other, and
not as an excuse for alienation; and we
should beg that the one who had trouble
share it with the other. so that neither
go about with evidences of worry while
declaring that nothing was the matter

Modish Gloves

Instead OF wearing pure white gloves IN
the afternoon. the fashionable woman is
inclining toward a delicate pearl shade or
pale apricot and tan colorlngs.
She Is choosing for motor wear the
"chevrette" of elbow length. with a strap
at the wrist to pull the leather together.
This is generally lined with fur or wool.
Women find il hard to approve of the
sharp dividing line between long sleeves
and short gloves. and are wearing with
afternoon toilets longer shapes. which
pass in wrinkled fullness over the cuffs.
Gloves of two-button length are worn
with coat suits. The buttons are very
large and are made OF mOther-of-pearl.
For driving, mocha gloves in pale color
ings. which. strange to say. wear much
better than the dark ones, are popular.
OF course. the evening gloves are virtu-
ally the same. Long white glace, with
occasionally a decoration 10 carry out the

Company Manners.

From Home Chat.
Some people keep all their lovable ways
for outsiders
They don't think It necessary to put on
an interested manner when the home peo-
pie are talking
What is said goes in at one ear and
out at the Other''-so that il really seems
scarcely worth while to tell them things.
They know how to be sympathetic-but
they don't practice 1t at home
They would agree that
TO be truly kind is to do and say
The kindest things in the kindest way. "
But the kind things they do at home
are generally done grudgingly and of ne
cessity.
They make an effort to be interesting
and amusing away from home but no
effort at home. That sort Of thing never
pays.
Pleasant manners and pleasant talk
need practice If you put them away Ike
the talent in the napkin you'll be lucky
if you find them In any sort Of working
order when you want them. Whereas IL
you use them they Will grow.

those gone-by years Of our youth we
shall have acquired at least some small
amount Of power and influence, the gift
Of swaying destiny, If only in a tiny

The wish that all women have to be
beautiful generally comes from a desire

One good way Of making the silk petit

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN.
FROM WOMANS
POINT OF VIEW

A rascal who made a business Of mar
rying women for their possessions has
had the audacity to taunt all womankind
because he found it easy 20 cajole those
who suited his purpose An appalling
number of crimes are registered against
him. but 1t is hardly possible that the
whole truth has been revealed. because
some women are too proud 10 exhibit
shame and humiliation to the world.
Nobody can account FOR the courage
which allows women TO take awful
chances with the future. The man is
! justified in his belief that he had but TO
pick and choose. despite the fact that his
selection was made from classes where
intelligence had not been brought to a
high state of cultivation. man can
fiaunt his vices IN the face OF the world
for years and then calmly pick q wife
from the best circles Of society and the
girls parents win rejoice at her good
fortune" Why should we expect any
thing better in lower circles?
concerned a man who made a business Of
duping women-with promises when he
could. and with the marriage ceremony
when promises were not strong enough
to draw bank-books and jewels from their
hiding places. Many OF his victims were
glad to sink into obseurity-one. at least,
found refuge In madhouse-but enough
were ready 10 take vengeance on the man
/ 10 make HIS stay Ia this country impos-
sible. However. there was not money
enough among the lot to impose the pun
ishment the man deserved. so his fate
remains a mystery to his dupes.
In many cases these women were won
by less than three meetings. In every
case they willingly passed over to the
man whatever valuables they owned.
remember that the police official who
acted in the matter made a remark con-
corning the need OF guardianship over
women, and did not even resent f.
heard great deal that was uncompli-
mentary 10 the sex IN the few days IN
which the case occupied the public mind,
and one Of the men said recently that he
