Y DEAR BOYâ€"Your mother and I have just returned from the wedding in which you were. to us, the most in- teresting if not the most conspicuous figure. It was a great wedding: never saw anything quite so pretty in my life. Everything was in good taste. and you went through your part like a little man. I was almost proud of you. And the bride! My boy. I believe you‘ve discovered something that‘s bet. ter than a gold mine. Unless my judg- ment is mightily at fault. she’s all right. Your mother is just as well pleased as I am. and that’s saying a great deal for her, for she never could see any girl quite good enough for you. You know she doesn’t hesitate to say whom she likes or dislikes. and she usually settles the point on sight. so I was very uneasy, as no doubt you were. about the way Mrs. John Junior would strike her. But she took to her new daughter-in-law like a duck to an orphan chick. and I attach more im- portance to that than I do to my own iudgment. Why. she's so tickled that she per- sists in waking me up in the middle of the night just to have an audience while she dis- m The Making of a Successful Husband while She dis- poses Of :1 Stock of adjectives that would as- touisb a French- man. You little know. my boy. how much she has missed you since you went. out to wrestle Wamng me up in the with fortune 01) middle 0' the night. your own book. and you can hardly appreciate what a concession it is for her to look with favor upon this young WUIU'JU who has taken possessimi of you. After awhile you will under-l stand. but not now. Angels Without Wings. I suppose you are pretty well along 1 with your honeymoon by this time,| and unless your lot is dill'erent from I that of other mortals you have made} some discoveries. You have found. I 5 don‘t doubt. that the wings you sup- I posed were full fledged haven‘t even} sprouted. That is the amazing dis-l covery every newly married man makes. and the quicker he makes it and becomes reconciled the better it is for his future welfare. Angels are all well enough in pic- tures. but they would certainly grate on our nerves if we had to associate with them. -.\’or is perfection to be de sired in a genuine flesh and blood we man. This would be a mighty tire some world if all of us did exactly as we ought. It is mainly our faults and the faults of others that furnish us the diversion that makes life worth while. That isn‘t strictly orthodox. but it‘s true. and I believe it will continue to be true as long as humanity retains nates it. Don’t infer, however. that I consider imperfections and attractions to in. crease in corresponding ratio. A little salt is necessary to make your food palatable. but a very little more will spoil it. A faultless wife is likely to be insipid. and good. healthy imperfec- tions should rather be cause for reâ€" joicing than lament. So. my boy. when you find one in your dear little bride. don’t have a conniption fit. but make a note of it, and when you get A .\M .1 A00,“ A Chapter on That Delectable Metrimonial Sequence. the Honey- moonâ€"Do Not Permit It to Come to e Speedy End. but Cherish It end Prolong It lndefinitely. ‘1 more important. 0n 1 is just as necessary th the husband. but I d btess you. my boy. 3' study them.

If these are little ones, be thankful and let them alone. If an should look to be serious. don’t try to remove them with an ax. You are likely to sprain your arm and dull the tool. Treat them with tact and pa- tience and love. and in the course of time. perhaps a long time. you can so modify them that they will become un- objectionable or even likable. All this, however, presupposes some attention to your own failings. which are probably more numerous and more pronounced than hers, and in the case of a man there are more circumstances which call for the use of a metaphor- ical surgical instrument. If you don’t wield it yourself. the little girl ought to, and if you need it she will unless I am mistaken in my judgment of her. But you can’t treat a woman’s faults You can’t run a home as you would a factory. in that way. Dictation. opposition, force. may get results, but it will be at the eXpense of happiness. You can’t run a home as you would a factory. Your wife is not a servant or your inferior in anything but physical strength. Besides, she is a woman and as such is entitled to the fullest measure of that chivalric courtesy which every gentleman owes to the other sex. That she is your wife in- creases your obligation in this respect. I have heard of women who doubted their husbands’ love if they neglected the periodical beating. but I never saw any of that class. and I doubt their ex- istence. No; the only way to correct a woman‘s fault. if it really needs cor- rection. is by a pressure so gentle she never suspects its existence. applied with the patient persistence that is in all things irresistible. You know that in the grinding of a lens for a great telescope the final work is done with the palm of the bare hand. If you bend a twig sharply, it will break, but ‘. if you bend it gently and secure it in its new position you can by constant I} repetition of the process mold it to any 1 term you desire. So the ideal husband and wife consciously and unconscious- ‘ ly mold each other’s disposition. Do- : inestic happiness. my son, is the high- ! est form of bliss attainable on earth. 1, and it is worth all the trouble it gener- 3 ally takes to secure it. I V A Perpetual Honeymoon. : The popular idea of the honeymoon f is a period of a few weeks immediate- ‘i ly following the wedding during which the couple skylark around over the country. making spectacles of them- selves for the amusement of anybody who happens to be observing them. It is a period of unrestrained billing and ? cooing by the end of which they are i supposed to have become satiated and return home to settle down to a prac- ‘ tical. everyday life in which love and its outward manifestations are not ex- . pected to figure to any great extent. I sincerely hope you will not take that ‘ view of it. The honeymoon should not be subject to limitations of place or of ‘ time. As a mere outing it should be made brief: I can see no reason why the return. to earth should cause an entire change. tion. modified by the activities and earth should can relations.

No: you cannot possibly attach too much importance to these seeming- :y insignificant thinos. They are the .very toundations of domestic happi- m-ss. You may provide a comfortable home and every material desire of her heart. you may treat her with courtesy anal kindness. you may give her high social position. but if she loves you all those are as nothing if unaccompanied by the purely sentimental expressions of your own affection for her. With visible love she will live happily in the hunihlest cottave. the Some people would smile at this. Some would call it an old fashioned idea that has no place in the advanced civilization of today. The mountains and the bills, the lakes and the rivers. are old fashioned, and they are. no more immutable than human nature. of which love is the highest espression. In spite of all of our culture. men and women. under the veneer. are just the same as they were when Pan played his pipes in the groves of Arcadia. We are as God made us, and while we may develop the brain we can’t alter its composition, nor can we eradicate the love longing from a woman’s heart. So let her have all she wants. Keep the Lovelight Burning. I am writing all this now because I want to keep you from settling down 1M in the all too customary way after your return from your wedding trip. You will have to resume the chase after dollars, and you’ll have to sprint a little faster than before, but that‘ won’t justify you in putting the little I girl up on a shelf like a piece of valu- able bric-a-brac nor in shoving her! back into the kitchen to become your ; cook.

Exercise is as nec- essary to love as it is to all attributes of life, physical,menta1 or spiritual. This is not theory, but fact, which has been proved over and over again since the world began. and my own experience does not differ from that of countless thousands of others who hear testi- mony to its truth. Your mother reminds me that it is time for me to be in bed. so I must bring this epistle to a close. With love to the new Mrs. .Sneed-God bless her -I remain your affectionate father, JOHN SNEED. English Pronunciation. There is a village in north Devon which the signposts call Wolfardis- worthy. but which we have heard pro- nounced “Woolserthy.” Very likely, however. if you went there and pro- nounced it so you would be reproved for the contraction. This was what happened to us at Cirencester. Passing through that town we were solemnly corrected for calling it “Cicester.” On the other hand. when wandering in Norfolk and drawing nigh to a place which was marked on the map “Happisburgh.” we found ourselves quite unintelligible because we did not pronounce it “Hazebro.” liven in English the difference be- tween sight and sound is confined to a small minority of words. though some peOple seem to be of the same opinion as a young Hanoverian lady of our acquaintance who naively remark- ed: "You English do pronounce so strangely! There is your great au- thor. You spell him D-i-c-k-e-n-s. and you pronounce him Boz.”â€"-London Spectator. Why They Wished to Prolong Life. It is curious to note the inadequacy of the objects for which men would seem to wish to prolong their days. Collingwood. as his epitaph informs us; "a pious. just and exemplary man,” vould have liked to have had another blow at the French. Lord Peterhor- ough, Pope‘s contemporary. desired to live in order “to give that rascal (Bish- op Burnet‘) the lie in half his history” â€"â€"an aspiration of which he proved the sincerity by carrying with him the volumes, carefully marked, when, al- ready believed to be dying. he went to Lisbon. And Bentley. making up his mind to reach the age of eighty and no further. observed that “it was an age long enough to read everything worth reading.”-â€"London Standard. blow at ough.

He was about nineteen, but weary. oh, very weary! He had made a call of perhaps two hours. and she also was beginning to feel some slight fatigue. “I never get over a thing. you know.” he said sadly. “I real!)~ never expect to care for a woman again. I made a foot of myself over one once.” “And von never get over anything? T90 bad!” she said sympatheticaliy.
