I don‘ t know whether to congratulate you or not. So ‘rnuch depends upon the girl, You know- If I could see her and have a ten minutes’ chat with her, I could tell whether you have drawn a- prize or a blank. As it is, I shall trust to Providence and hope for the best. Your description is entertaining. but nOt very informing. You say that she “isas beautiful as Aurora upon a sum- mer mom,” that her eyes are “filled with heaven’s own blue,” that her “hair is a golden aureole surmounting a marble brow,” and her cheeks are “like the rosebnd kissed by the en- amored sun. ” . I gather from your poetic if some- what moldy description nothing more than that the young lady is a blond and a tolâ€" erably good look- er, and I men- tion this old flame of mine to impress you with the fact that while Au- rora is all right in the spring and summer she begins to look quite diflerent when the time comes to lay in coal. Beauty, my boy, is a mighty good thing. Your mother was the pret- tiest girl I ever saw or ever hope to seeâ€"begging your pardonâ€"and she is still the most beautiful woman this Imhaommecar. side the pearly gatw, in my estima- tion, but you can’t reasonably expect to be as fortunate as your father in that particular. Beauty is a very de- sirable, but not a necessary attribute of a wire, and a man stands a mighty poor chance of permanent happiness .who banks on it alone. It isn’t always desirable even. It is likely to produce vanity, and vanity, besides several other disagreeable features, leads to extravagance. I won’t "stop to tell you what extravagance leads to. It would fill a book. and there would be nothing comfortable in the whole volume. Reminds me of an old friend, one of these art enthusiasts, who tell in love with a flat because of its impressive “facade.” He didn’t stop to investi- gate what was back of the “facade,” but took a lease at a pretty stiff figure. He wanted a “facade,” and he got it was a heartbreaking sham. The plas- ter cracked and dropped on his head in painful chunks; the doors sagged and refused to shut without a lavish expenditure of power and profanity; the furnace could be induced to supply nothing but refrigerated airâ€"and he had a lease. It’s probably too late, but, my dear boy. before you close the deal get back of the “facade” if you can. Not Always a Lottery. You have been always a pretty level headed youngster. and I have great h0pes that you have chosen wisely. In- deed, I get considerable encouragement from the way she spells her names as they were given to her when she was christened. It indicates that if she ever had any silly stage she has passed good and plenty, as I’ve heard you re- mark. Within a month he found that everything behind that artistic front V v- â€"â€" through“ lr_'safely.

Given the proper financial backing. are my habits and disposition such that a sensitive and sensible woman can live with me for a lifetime with- out an occasional desire to jump into the river? Few men stop to consider that side of the proposition, and when the wheels of the matrimonial wagon begin to creak they wonder what's the matter. Talk about the divorce evil! If woman wasn’t the most long sufler- ing creature on the face of the earth, all the courts of Christendom would be filled with divorce cases. But that’s a digression. As I was saying, take stock of yourself and then consider the Sense Better Than Learning. The main thing to be desired in a woman is sense. And by that I don’t mean education. It’s a mighty fine thing to be on born you . speaking termS DORE 3“ ' ' with the oclassâ€" ‘ ics,.and a knowl edgeof the high- er mathematics and Browning’s poems does no particular harm , : if it isn’t allow- ..“‘ ed to stick out. -’ '" but education beyond the grammar school course is not an essential. Don’t Chuck full of quota- deceive your- tiO‘nS- self into think- ing learning an indication of brains or occasional silliness a lack of them. Some of the biggest fools I ever knew, male and female, were chuck full of facts and figures and quota- tions and other mental lumber that didn’t do them or anybody else any good. I don’t mean to belittle the value of learning. No one appreci- ates it more than I do. But it doesn’t spell sense. On the other hand. all normal boys and girls pass through a silly period, and most all grown people have occasional lapses in that direction. a sort of cerebral vaca- tion, which is sometimes beneficial to the individual it not always edifying to others. But the possession of a practical workaday intelligence will stick out in spite of all that nature or teachers may do to cover it up, and it you can come down from the clouds long enough to take stock you should beable to satisfy yourself on that point if you haven’t already done so. loss he has character and strength of purpose far beyond the ordinary he is almost sure to degenerate, to become a mere appendage, of less value to him- self and the world than one of his wife’s servants. If the girl you ex- pect to marry has money. see to it that she keeps it, and keeps it where you can't get at it. Hoe your own You notice I don’t ask you about Miss Jackson’s fortune. I don’t care whether she has a red cent or not. In fact, I hope she hasn’t, for the poor man who marries a fortune is up against one of the hardest propositions our sex can have to contend with. Un- There’s only one way to make a man, and digging for a home is the process. If she has nothing, you can start even and pull together, and I tell you, my boy, there’s nothing in this world so heartens a man as a willing woman hitched to the same load. If she have sense and love she will pull, too, harder perhaps than you can, but it she be a fool, no matter how she may be veneered with the graces of society, no matter how erudite she may be, she will ball: or kick over the traces, and if she doesn’t spill the load she’ll make it all the harder for you to draw. So I say that a few grains of "i56£a}i hitched to the same Load. plain common sense are of more im- portance in a wife than beauty, money or culture. It Miss Jackson has it, then I say go ahead, and your mother and I will give you our blessing and something else. Nothing so Marten; afman as a willing Don’t fool around about it either. 1 don’t believe in long engagements. There is nothing so wearing on a wo- man as a protracted wedding. If you have no debts and enough money in your pocket or the bank to pay the preacher and furnish up a little flat, don‘t put off the day any longer than is necessary for her to get ready. As a rule, a girl wants a few months, per- haps a year. for preparation; a man in the first enthusiasm of acceptance wants to be married tomorrow, today. right now. The girl is right. The al- tar should not be boarded like a delay- ed trolley car. Take your time. but not too much time. The engagement period has its psychical as well as its material purpose. It is a period of preparation of mind and heart as well as of raiment. It is an important factor in the mak- ing of future happiness, and it should never be skipped unless circumstances are exceptional. But it should not be the very deuce.

Don’t go {risking out to a sub-' urban justice of the peace to have the knot tied without trouble and without ceremony. Next to your birth and your death it’s-the most important event of your life. Your funeral may be an im‘ posing one. but you will not be in a po- sition to appreciate it. You will play second fiddle at your wedding, but it’s your show nevertheless. and you should make it as' impressive as you can. I don't mean by that to encourage lavish expenditure. Gorgeous decorations and all that sort of thing detract from the true feature of the occasion. That, however, is none of your attain The bride’s parents attend to. that. The point I am trying to make is that the wedding shou1d\take place in the pres- ence of a number of invited guests, as many as practicable. Whether at home or at church doesn’t particularly mat- ter, although I prefer a church wed- ding because it can be made more im- pressive and because of‘the deeper re- ligious significance. When I use the word impressive, I don’t want it ap- plied to the witnesses, but to you and to the girl you stand up with. It is upon you. both of you, that the impres- sion should be made, and it ought to be strong enough and deep enough to keep you trotting along together for the remainder of your life. I have no- ticed that these fly by night, “let‘s go out and get married” weddings are responsible for a large proportion of the divorce cases in our courts.

As I heard an alleged comedian remark the other night, “I just had it on my chest, and it had to come off.” Yours truly, JOHN SNEED. Three Man Wine. The best Rhenish wine is scarcely plentiful enough to furnish an average of one drink for every three Germans. The worst, on the contrary, is so bad that it takes three men to get one drink down its natural channel. Near Got- tingen is the little town called Wit- zenhausen, which has long been fa- mous, or, rather, infamous, for a kind of wine known as the “dreimanner- wein," because it requires one man to drink it, a second to hold him and a third to pour it down his throat. Here also is located Germany’s first and only colonial school, founded by some wealthy adherents of the colonial pol- icy on which Emperor William has just won a victory over the Socialists in the reichstag. The school was opened in 1899, with room for seventy students. which is not nearly enough for all who apply. A special feature is the segre- gation of the students in dormitories to keep them out of taverns, as it is well known that nothing is so disas- trous to the whites in the tropics as "ti-openholler,” from habits of alcoholic indulgence. Here is where the “three man wine” helps the temperance cause. -.\'ew York World. Dreaming a Derby Winner. I dare say that every year one or more people dream of the Derby win- ner, because thousands of people are guessing in their dreams, and two or three guess right. Take the Favonins case. A man came to an acquaintance of mine and said, “What is the Latin for the southwest wind ?” “Favonius,” said my friend. “That’s the name,” said the other. “I dreamed last night that Favonius won the Derby, but 1 could only remember that southwest wind was the English of the word when I awoke.” There was no Fa- vonius in the list of horses, but on reaching the race course the men found that "the Zephyr colt” had been newly namedâ€" Favonius. Probably the name Zephyr (west wind) colt had been converted into Favonius (south- west wind) in the sleeping mind of the dreamer, though when awake he could not remember the Latin word for southwest wind. Favouius won. The dream was a good guess, no more.â€" Andrew Lang in Independent. THE DURHAM CHRONICLE ' A Troublesome Comma. One more instance of the power of punctuation.
