OLD POINT COMFORT.
7 AZEL and 1 are here on our

(AZIA anu are AtiC oh Jul
|" honeymoon. It is great! OF
course. 1 realize more and
more that marriage entails
many s"crifices on the part Of the
man, but it is worth them just to have
always at your side congenial spirit
who takes your viewpoint about
everything.
4 girl naturally looks forward to
her honeymoon. She has more than
half of the pleasure and none of the
responsibility, but with fellow it's
different. He knows for weeks ahead
that he must provide the cash. The
dear old governor was awfully decent.
He asked me right after the wedding
how much cash I had on hand. and
told him candidly I had the hundred
dollars he had handed me the night
before and sixtythree dollars and
fifty cents h; d saved up myself. He
said:
Well. my boy. a little extra won't
worry you, I guess" and handed me

about writing ahead for rooms, and
the amount to give in tips and that
sort of thing.
Whatever happens. old man, don't
let them spot you as 'newly-weds,'
not even the porters." So he gave me
a few rules. I put them down in my
address book.

rice and confetti.

3. On no account take two new suit
Eases. Use the one you've carried your
foot ball togs in-they'll simply think
You are taking your girl to game.
4. Don't give tips indiScriminately.
Give them as if you were used to
travelling.
5. Don't address your wife in terms
OF affection that can be overheard.
tThis my common sense had already,

of candy and some magazines and go

Right here l will say Jack makes a
violent mistake. Our married life

NOW when Hazel bites her lips it
~ means she is trying not to cry.
I could already see a little tear steal
ing down her nose, but what could
do? couldn't crush her in my
arms, which was. admit. my inclina-
