consideration of the possible effect OF
the supreme court decision in the
Union Pacific case did not relieve the
bewilderment of Wall street as to just
what bearing the courts action would
have upon other railroad properties.
The result was that the market was
decidedly strong at the opening, with
gains of a point or more in few
stocks. Then there was a reaction
during which most of the active
shares declined fractionally below

No girl would object to taking such a
course. which. in addition to improving
her looks. would be of inestimable ben
eft to her health. Undoubtedly in that

poor girl has bemoaned her excessive
weight many times.
But this is also true: l doubt If it
has occurred to her that her lover is a
pound too light!
When women love, they love beyond
criticism. Had her friends laughed at
her for loving a man so thin, her love
would have leaped up in an angry flame.
The maternal instinct. which is the
controlling motive in every woman's
love. would have prompted her to
spring to his defense, and she would
have contended with all the might Of
offended love that his weight was right
to an ounce; she would not have it
changed fraction of a pound, and
would affirm that, in comparison with
him. all other men are gross and beefy.

"a Furniture Wives 80
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

k(N Ten marry for fortune and
Nj sometimes to please their
fancy but, much oftener
than is suspected, they consider what
the world will say of it; how such a
woman in their friends eyes will look
at the head of the table. Hence we see
so many insipid beauties made wives
who could not have struck the particu-
lar fancy of any man that had any fan
cy at all; as many buy furniture and
pictures because they suit this or that
niche in their dining rooms. These
call FURNITURES WIVES"
Charles Lamb.
"I am 25 and deeply in love with a
girl two years my junior As she is
rather stout (about 175 pounds), and |
am thin, my friends ridicule the match.
l have tried to forget her and break
off the engagement, because of this rid
icule, but l can not do SO, my affection
being returned. What shall l do?"
1t seems that Charles Lambs words
are as true in this generation as in his.
This man loves a woman, but because
of the criticisms of his friends would
give her up in exchange for a furniture
wife"
Having conceded to his friends the
right to name her weight. he should
concede more, and let them select her
complexion, her height and the color OF
her hair All these little questions could
be settled by a council of his friends,
all who come under that category be
ing willing to shoulder such respon-
sibilities
A furniture wife" would simplify
courtship and relieve it of many of its
uncertainties and pangs and expendi-
lures of time and money.
II would also relieve the man of'much
of its joys And that word relieve
is used advisedly when in connection
with the sort of man who would be
contented with a furniture wife"
But if you, my dear man. are not that
kind, you need not let the difference in
weight worry you. The difference is
easily adjusted
There is a course of physical train
ing which, if followed faithfully. will
reduce the girls weight. There is also
course, entirely dissimilar, which, if
followed by you faithfully, will increas Sc
your weight
Make an Exchange.
Every pound she drops you will pick
up, and in this way you may hope tt
attain the desired proportion. If she
perseveres, she will become sylphlike
