A RTHUR PAIGE was not the
"A only man who was not en-
tirely satisfied with the ex-
listing state of affairs.
John Brandon himself was not as
happy as he had been. He loved
Barbara just as dearly as ever, but
he was not as thoroughly content
with her and about her as when he
was first engaged.
He appreciated with increasing
intensity that he was not a young
man, and each week that passed
revealed some new matter on which
he and his fianCee were not one.
Such matters were not big and sig
nificant, but they were straws that
showed the wind was not always
blowing from direction that prom
ised fair weather for the future.
Barbara loved music; John cared
little for it. She liked society; he
preferred the quiet of home. She
liked to be with her young friends;
these same young people wearied
him.
Yet the man had told himself that
these trifles would adjust them
selves after marriage. But since
Barbara's visit to his house he had
wondered If they would be as easy
of adjustment as he had hoped.
He dreaded-as only an old bachelor
or an old maid can dread-changing
the appointments ,of his home.
Nevertheless, he loved Barbara so
much that he wanted her to be
happy there. Something warned
him that she could not be happy in
the atmosphere that had meant
To i'm
over, Mrs. Markoe's manner told
him that she and his bride could not
dwell together in harmony.
BARBARA FEELS THE STRAIN.
And, worst of all, Barbara was
not as gay as she used to BE. He
wondered IL she, too, shrank from
the coming change in her life. Not
that he actually shrank from II, of
course-but he had become accus-
toimsd to his way of living. Unless
he would degenerate into a selfish
boor, he must develop into a con-
siderate husband.
Ono day he broached to his be-
trothed a subject that he hoped
might arouse her from her listlcss-
ness.
"Bab, dear he said. ct have been
thinking OF our wedding Journey.
Let us make IT a long one"
She gazed at him, her eyes wide
but said nothing.
'T have always meant" he con-
tinucd, 'to go out to California-to
take tho trip slowly, returning, per

Yes. my brother-Jimmie, you're

When the gate of Convent opened
to the two girls they went forth,
the one a joyous guide, the other a
happy pilgrim. And all through the
journey by train and boat to the
Andrews home, Alice reflected in a
serene smile the gratitude of real
friendship.
Mr.. Andrews, with q sense of the
fitness of things that did credit to
his judgment, still clung to the
horse as the dignifed means of
transportation between station and
his old mansion. He explained that
it seemed more in keeping with the
traditions of the house to appear
under the big porte cochere drawn
by a pair of blooded grays than to
whirl up with honkings and graf
ings in a modern six-cylinder auto.
Alice thought so too as they came

beneficent sentinel over wide lawns
and picturesque flower beds.
Her welcome was in keeping with
her invitation. She felt as she

have had him resemble Mr.. An

IHINks GIRLS SHOULD
BE EDUCATED TO PLEASE.

Man demands, in his most inti-
mate associate, something more than
beauty or even affection. AS he Is
q creature of mind and being or
care and labor, he must have nina
and a mind Mt for counsel 10
commune.
Retreating from the pressure and
fatigue of his active employment
TO the light of his heart. he should
fnd there one whose conversation,
illuminated by good sense, and
adorned by sound information, de-
serves to be called, the finest solace
Of intellectual labor, and the sim
plest yet most effectual and de-
1ightful mode of at once resting
and invigorating the mind. whether
wearied by study or depressed by
struggles with fortune.
She who can thus amuse and in
struct, stimulate while she re-
freshes, elevate and enliven the
mind, and make the feast OF love
tho feast of reason, the warmer or
the heart and the mover OF the In
tellect, Is indeed, in influence, the
Cleopatra of her age, welding a
power far higher than beauty and
stronger than love.
Her charms fade not with the
color of her cheek; whose influence
passes not away with the strength
and freshness of youth.
In order to make marriage a
success, woman should be so edu-
Gated that as wife she may exert
a purifying influence over the
heart. She has access to her hus-
band when his feelings and affec-
tions are melted and softened into
unusual plasticity-and are ready
from her kind hand to receive their
form and pressure. She should be
able to avail herself of these child
like moods, and make them of much
effect in the cause of virtue.
And when the storm is abroad,
and darkness and danger around,
Is it not important that she, the
pilot and the friend, should be able
to guide and to counsel wisely?-to
make his beacon light the holy
flre that glows on the domestic
altar, and herself the ministering
spirit that holds guardian spirit
over his destiny?
Until education commences at q
far earlier age than now, and be
conducted with a clear and wise
reference to the great duties and
purposes of married life, mankind
will never rise to that high rank
Of intellectual and moral greatness,
for which they were by Providence
created and designed. K. f. T.
