CHOOSING A WIFE

THERE was an article in the paper
4 this evening on Choosing a Wife. .
I didn't read 1t, for I am not looking
for a wife, being already happily
stocked up for life hope, but I have
a good many ideas on the subject if
I should ever get to the point OF need.
If you buy suit Of clothes that
doesn't fit or that you don't like, you
can give it to the janitor, or donate it
to the missionary society to go into
the barrel that the ladies of the church
are getting ready to send away at
Christmas time, or sell 1t at the annual
sorority rummage sale. An unSatisfac-
tory automobile, or house dog can be
disposed of. A wife, even with our
present divorce laws, is rather a per-
manent possession and so should be
chosen carefully.
My grandmother used to say when
giving advice to her grandsonS which
they seldom asked for and never took,
that before the negotiations were
actually completed in possessing one
self of wife, it was wisest to see all
the faults and weaknesses possible.
After marriage one should close his
eyes and be blind to anything that
suggested imperfection.
Quite the opposite is frequently the
case. One uses his head when he buys
horse or motor car. He wants to
know something Of the pedigree of the
hnrco or tho intnrnaI oOn cfrt1 otinn of
the car; he isn't carried away by the
results of careful currying on the one
hand or skillful painting on the other.
With a wife it is too often a matter
of sentiment or emotion, of passing
fancy for an attractive exterior-for
careful currying and skillful painting
as it were. He doesn't stop to con-
slider that it is going to be difficult to
dispose of her IL she proves unsatis-
factory-when spavins develop or the
coat grows rough, or the paint scales
Age may make a difference.
Men and women don't change much
excepting in appearance.

deal of attention to Lizzie Chamber

together. We all thought they were

whats the matter with you and
Lizzie?" 1 asked one day, for we had
been very good friends.
"She's wonderful girl in some
ways" he answered, land Pm fond of
her. I've taken time to think little,
however. I'm over-fastidious, 1 know.
I like order, and neatness, and careful
attention TO dress, and regularity.

Annual Oyster Feast
Held BY ENGLISH TorOn

The oyster feast at Colchester, Eng
land, which is held on October 81, dates
back centuries and centuries, in fact,
to the time of the ancient Britons.
Julius Caesar, after his conquest Of
the eastern counties of England,
founded town on the site Of the
present Colchester, and the export of
oysters to Rome became the chief in
dustry. During the reign of Richard
| (1193), the monarch granted a char
ter to the citizens giving them the sole
right for oyster fishing off large part
of the coast. In order to keep the
size of the oysters up to standard, q
silver oyster was cast. which now re-
poses in the town hall. and it is Illegal
to sell them smaller than the model.
AS the fame of Colchesters oysters
spread, it became customary to invite
well-known people from all over the
country. The ceremony takes place at
the town hall, at the expense of the
mayor. The duke of York was the
guest of honor last year, which wit
messed an epoch-making event. For
the first time in Colchester's history
the feast was presided over by lady,
for the city's civic head was a
mayoress.

Fame

Fame is not turtle. It is the pass
Ing salute TO exceptional ability. The
idea Of every youth should be fame,
fairly earned-in competition with
others. The Olympic games of today
typify to me the finest type of compe-
tition-the ideal of human contest and
adventure. The better man, working
to fit himself as best he can before
hand, wins. And such fame is worth
while and respectable-Chauncey NJ.

when we're going places, her hairs
untidy, her hands are seldom nice, she's
scarcely ever hooked up. I'm not going
to change much and she isn't. I could
overlook her faults for a while, but in

be unhappy. A man may have to live

the fine old staircase at the
Grange.
It was still quite early, for the
house party had retired for the night
soon after dinner, spending but little
time in the drawing-room, where an
air Of constraint had prevailed.
Kathleen was in no hurry to un'
dress. Seating herself in an easy.
chair, she strove to recall every
phase of the mystery surrounding
her brothers fate. The process a I
ried her back to a period about a year
before the death of Sir Philip Clients

arisen q violent quarrel between the
old baroneL and his heir, the cause
OF which had been carefully con
cealed from her. George had left the
Grange in high dudgeon, taking a
tender farewell of his sister. but
merely telling her that he was going
to the western states of America.
Six months later she had had a let

that she had mentioned this letter.
and the place whence it was written.
to her cousin Dudley when he had
spent a weekend at Beechwood
Grange.
Shortly afterwards Sir Philip had
been stricken with a mortal sickness
which killed him in three days, and
during which he had been too Ill to
allude to his son and heir.
BY the time the leisurely, old
fashioned lawyers had sent out a rep
resentative to Montana and procured
evidence which after the laws delays
established the fact Of George Glenis'
ter's death and gave the baronetcy
and Beechwood Grange to Dudley.
the latter's cousinly sympathy had
merged into something warmer. He
had begged her to suit her own. con.
Yenience in leaving her wi home,
limiting that there was a very simple
plan by which she need not leave Il

all speed she had put herself under
the protection of her relative, Lady
Marrables, and had gone to live with
