The Seven Mistakes of Matrimony
BY DOROTHY DIX.

a tight fist will marry a woman for
the very reason that she is stunning
ly good looking, and such fashion
plate that she makes everybody rub

taurant, and as soon as they are mar
ried he expects her to become a mod
ell Of economy, and to be satisfied
with ready made dresses and home
constructed millinery
or a man of broad intelligence and
deep appreciation Of what is fine
In literature and art will be captured
by the infantile artlessness of girl
who is nothing but a little fluffy kit
ten and marry her and then expect
her to be able to entertain him and
understand him, and be real com
paniOn to him
or a man who loves good cooking
and thrifty housekeeping will marry
"A high proved woman, and complain
after marriage that she gives him in
tellectual conversation instead Of the
kind of pie that mother used to make
The pious woman and the leader
Of the w. c. r. e. will marry the
gayest rounder she can find and spend
the balance of her life worrying her
self and him because he win drink
a glass of beer and play poker.
II, therefore, you would be happy
though married, avoid the second ia
tai mistake of matrimony. Don't
marry for one thing and expect an
other. Pick out the kind Of a life
partner that you wish before mar
riage-for there is no such thing AS
altering a husband or wife to suit
your taste.
The only sane matrimonial propo-
sition is to pick out a man or woman
on what she or he is at the present
and take 10 chances on what he or
she may become in the future BY
the time people are old enough to
get married their characters are
formed, their tastes and habits set
tied and what they are going to be
they already are. Not once in blue
moen do they change, and any talk
Of man developing his wife's char

THE day before a woman marries

notices as she knows him better, till

Lysander John Appleton did not en-
10Y these reminders of his imperfec-

one evening he read:
There should be stationed at tho
tip Of every mans tongue three senti-

Is it true? Is it kind? Is it neces-
sary?"
Perhaps" he thought, 81 need i'm

little that l say is necessary"
He would, he resolved, station these
three little sentinels at the tip of his
tongue He would show his wife and
daughter that he appreciated their eff
forts to lift him to their plane.
At dinner that night his wife asked

husbands disappearance. Lysander
John had an opinion on the subject.
but before he could express It he re-

he was ready to talk his wife had
