given TO her, and thus save herself from

of most Of us who blindly shut our eyes
and 80 stumbling on into misery when
there are plenty OF danger signals
posted all along the road OF life 1t we
would only bother TO take note OF
them
One of the commonest excuses that
people make for matrimonial blunders
is that they were deceived and did not
know the real disposition and char

rying, or else, Heavens Knows, they
would never have been fools enough
to have united themselves to the ones

To say this IS to admit that We arc
all OF the thirty-Scycn different varlc-
ties of an idiot, and yet it is only too
true. We do marry people who have
the most Objectionable characteristics,
without so much as suSpecting them,
when all the time we might have seen
their faults il only we h d used the
slightest detective ability.
