We come up from London every year to our house here in Arran, and as we went down by rail no less than nine times last year we thought we would walk this year and see the country, for, of course. you never can see anything of it from the windows of a railway car. ' “ Our party consisted of six children, the youngest in our famous baby coach, which has been, ob, thousands of miles on the con- tinent and in England and Scotland, my husband and myself and two maidsaten in wall. When we started from St. John’s Woods we each took a small black bag in our hands; but we soon had to give these up. Afterwards we had absolutely nothing buta nightgown and a mackiutosh each. There was one brush and one comb for my self and all the children. \Ve really couldn't carry more than the least possible quantity of luggage, you know. Tea-my husband is also fond of acnp of teaâ€"so we carried‘: our tea all the way from London; and we‘ had a kettle, too, one of those flat ones to boil over a spirit lamp, and the spirit lamp itself. And, of course, the baby, beinga young baby and fed on the bottle, obliged us to carry a tin can of milk. We had very light fun. As soon as we got into the North of England we always had por- ridge for breakfast. We never had much must; on the only two occasions when we had really a good dinner we found we cmld not walk afterwards. We had eggs and milk,_and bread and butter to any J ___ -r.......a. An- .uu “II-n, ‘- â€"_~â€"._ amount. The meat we had was almost ea- tirely tinned meat, which we bought, with bread, in the town or village in the morning, and carried with us till we came to a-suit- able place for dinner. We had dinner in the open air always. Then for tea we had just to call at acottage and get a kettle of water and the use of tea-things, which they were always g1 id to supply us 'for a shilling (twenty-five cents). " Of course the trouble was boots,” Mrs. Acton continued. “ We were recommended ‘ all sorts of ‘ hygenic soles ’ and everything, and we tried everything, and we had to give them all u . We gave up boots alto. gether and too to ‘sand shoes ’â€"oanvas shoes with indie-rubber soles. Those allow the feet to go anyhow they like ; there is no pressure, and We found them admirable. We never got blisters or sore feet or any- thing. We used to soap our toes and heels and the inside of our stockin sabefore we started; that is a very good t ing. Then, as to Washing, We could not possibly stop to have everything washed at the inns and places, so the way we mane ed our washing was to have one thing was ed each night. ‘Ve found we could always get one thigfi washed and quickly get up, and so we h clean things without the trouble of carrying any with us. We carried no umbrellas. But though the weather was very bad in England we did very well without. In the first part of the time we walked in our mack- intoshes and hats that the rain would not hurt. Of course, it was very muddy ; and, ‘ what with the mud and ‘the rain and the "nu-- v--.â€". -k- 7 sun, our dress got into such a. state we were quite ashamed of ourselves; and on Sutur- day nights we had to stop somewhere and buy flowers or some little frilling or some- thing to brighten up our hats to go to church in next morning.

Looked at from this high point of \iricw, then, is marriage a failure! I feu- t is. I am not prejudiced on this suhj cot; indeed, it is only sad experience that has turned me no disbelief in marriages. From tne earliest days I was alwa s afraid of embarkinv on is myself, chiefll use I did not think I was worthy o if (for I never had as high an opinion of my merits as I might be justified m having), but several of my friends will bear witness that I used eo‘ advise them strongly to make the plunge. This I did because I fancied their houses and households might become useful for me. For instance, take the case of H. J. Gower, ‘ once my good friend, though now we are nos on speaking terms. A few years ago Gower, then a bachelor. was IN LOVE \Vi'l‘iI TWO YOUNG LADIES. or, if that flu impossible (I don’t) know), he at least could not determine which of the two young ladies it was that he was in love with. One of them lived in Haddington. and the amber in London. and Gower was so undecid- ed about them that he asked my council. Now, if I had been against marriage for my friends, I would have cautioned Grower, bun instead of that I advised him to marry the London girl. L1 reason for giving this advice was that occasionally ran' up to London for a few days' holiday, and would have done so more frequently had it not AL. ‘I -_Jnn 18 MARRIAGE A PAIL’IIII‘.’ nave uuuu Iv unuv -.-.,_-,7, been for the expenses of the London hotels. It struck me that if Grower, who is an Edinburgh mm like myself, married the London girl, and 1 be- came friendly with her, the would, on hearing that I sometimes wont to London ask me to stay with her people. Say I did ‘ so for a week I would save at the least\ 105. 6d. a day, or £3. 133. 6:1. in a week. Subtract from this the price of of two pairs of gloves which I might feel obliged to present to the ladies of the house in return for their hospitality, the saving would still be £3, 10r., for you can get gloves ‘ln London that are all right (until you put them on) vermeaply indeed. It is obvious, then, that Gower taken my advice his marriage could not have been a failure. What did he dothowever, than go straight from me, ‘ and offer his hand to the Haddingtou girl, to whom he is now married. This marriage for I never had any desire to, take a holiday in Haddington. To make matters worse Gower had not been married a week before _he told his wife that I had advised him to marry the other irl. Such is Mrs. Gower’s narrowncss that s e resented this, and I have long ceased to visit at her house. Here, then, is a marriage that ended disastrously. I smile when I hear the marriage of Pem- bcrton spoken of as a success. He speaks of it in that way himself, and so does his wife; bun it was a complete failure. Marriage, I would point out, may be a failure before it takes place, and Pembsrton’s is a case in point. No sooner was he engaged than he began to deterliorate. Thus when I methim in the old days after business . hours he was delighted to see me, and at once asked me up to his room to have a smoke. Such an excellent fellow was he in these times that I never carried my pipe about with me. I could always depend on meetinal’emberton TRISGS GOT WORSE AND WORSE, i huntil, had I not hoped that it might be to my advantage to do so, I would no ion or have visited him. Instead of coming w (h me for a quiet stroll through Princes’ Street Gardens, and treatin me to a on of oefl‘eb ah the cafe later on, e preferr to hurry off to the house of the young lady's parents, where he spent all his spare time. There never was a clearer case of selfishness, and if matrimony makes a man selfish it is ob- vious that. it is not a: enemas.
