den gloom over the rosieSt, sunniest
honeymoon for the bride to come un-
expectedly upon her husband, finding
him pacing neryously up and down
the room, with his browS puckered
into decided frown. Aren't you
happy, Harry dear?" she falters. unde-
eided as to whether to run to him or
fling herself down on the sofa in fit
of sulks or tears. Happy oh GER
tainIy," he answers quickly, but, by
George, / was just thinking | ought
10 be back in the office. / didn't get
any letters letting me know how bust
ness is getting on, and 1t worries me-
only while We are away" sobs his
bride, a keen note of disappointment
in her voice. -Oh, yes, to be sure"
he answers, abstractedly, but loating
about hotels or going sightseeing is
getting on my nerves. We could be as
happy and great deal more contented
at home. What do you say of getting
back?" When husband begins to
talk like that, even the most ineXpe-
rienced of brides dimly realizes that
their honeymoon has reached its ze-
NTH, and ii has just begun to wane
bit. OF course, If she really insists
upon or makes a scene, hubby yields
10 her wishes, but all of the time he
is taking her out sightseeing he is
harassed by thoughts of business
which will wadUa thamSaIvac In Whom
she thinks he is out on the porch en-
joying cigar. he is found TO be in
some hot, stuffy corner of the read
ing room, writing a long, anxious let
ter to the firm assuring them that he
will not be absent much longer. A
honeymoon is only really truly one
when both bride and groom can COM
pletely forget the pressure. care and
obligations of duties awaiting them at
home
of pleasure the quicker the trip is
brought to a close the better. That
does not necessarily mean that the
honeymoon is to end abruptly. Some
honeymoons last While both live and
love. When u man begins to grow
restless over extending the length of
the wedding trip. sensible bride will
agree that coming home a week or so
earlier than they had planned will
not matter much after all. The so
called friends who might comment ON
il are not earning the bread and butter
for hubby. Their opinions should have
10 weight with bride. Her hus-
bands interests. and his only. she
should study and conform to. TO the
majority of couples there comes but
one honeymoon in lifetime who
can blame them for making The most
OF il? But very short and sweet one
is far better than a longer one into
which anxieties creep. Very often ex-
penses are found to be more than the
most careful reckoner anticipated. The
newly welded pair never commence

With poor young girl at my side
Than have coach and four with gold ga
lore
And a fine lady for my bride.
A grand lady would sit before me
On a cushion made with taste
The other would sit beside me
With my arm around her waist.
1t seems strange to me-the great
number of letters that come to me
from youths men who have supposed
ly arrived at the years of discretion
and. indeed, men of older years, ask
ing If | think their future happiness
would be safe If they took for wife
a girl in her early teens.
The youth of one-and-twenty might
come out none the worse for rushing
headlong into matrimony at an early
age and with SO young a mate. but the
man of thirty or over cannot afford Ia
juggle with his future peace of mind.
AT sixteen, or thereabouts, II girl pos
seSses the heart and ineXperience of II
child No matter how you may try To
figure it out 10 the contrary. the plain
truth is that an old head cannot be put
on young shoulders.
The world would stand aghast at
the very mention of boy of sixteen
taking upon himself the cares and re-
sponsibilities of being husband to IA
mature spouse. The situation the 9th
er way is quite as incongruous. Every
girl, under the right auspices, is in
tended to make n good wife, but not
at SO tender an age. The very young
girl has not the right conception of
what true love really is. No faith
should be placed in her protestations TO
the contrary. She only imagines her
heart Is responding To loves call. Her
ineXperience should bar her from be
ing expected TO preside well and jul
diciously over a husbands home. While
1t is true that she may have been
obliged To take the helm under her
fathers roof-that was different.
There was but one head to that
home, and that head was-father The
youthful housekeeper was not allowed
TO have full free rein. Father con-
scented to this expenditure or refused
that one. as his judgment dictated. The
girls powers to run the house as she
would like We're wisely curtailed As
"A wife, the restraint would be removed.
Who could expect the child would dis
play womanly ability which only years
Of experience could properly develop?
Philosophers have decided that the
truest happiness has existed and ever
viii exist where the husband is older
than the wife. but by no means should
he be double-never three ttmes-her
age If true love should reign in their
home. Twenty or over is quite young
enough for girl To wed. She should
have opportunity To frolIe with her
dolls up to that time.
