Matrimonial and Otherwise
l According to the cynics, Inn ways of
Stt-omen are more than passing strange!
T,hey arc, In fact, Incomprehensible. Par
ticularly In the matrimonial game, both
(ff'efore and after the great event, Is this
'fn the case. Ono never can bo really certain

v;wni a woman wonts. .Most 01 an in sno
t hover herself certain what sho Is after,
or what, aha Is going to do.
hut If men onl know it, It renlly Is this
quality of tincertalnty In women which
makes them charming. It must be con-
,; ceded that there Isn't any chaim at nil
In the obvious. Far from It. A man
'simply docs not and will not opptcclatc
What he can obtnln easily and above all
what he can understand easily. It Is far,
' far better to keep him guessing.
"I would you wcro a goldfish In a bowl,"
sighed some sentimental lady In print tho
'Other day to her lover, designated for the
,( occasion by n row of asterisks perhaps
r ot e was somewhere In France, perhaps ho
.-wasn't anywhere: women have bonn
knOWn to orpntp Ihvnra nut nf nnlhlnr.

'Vl,.IIJ ........ MT ...,.. ....
wu.iu ujuii i wish yon wcro a goiausn
fA In a bowl, that I might DUt mv nrnu
.about your life."
Tho composer of this gentle ditty cer-
r talnly was poetical, If at the same time
a trifle Impractical, And yet she waa
pretty near tho mark, too. For n decided
i capacity for "putting her arms around
Ills life1' and at tho samo time a decided
incapacity for ever under any circum-
, stances letting a man go are well-known
attributes of the gentler sex. Kvcn when
a woman Is to all Intents and purposes
driving a lover from her side, she li
E skilfully tightening tho chains which
,,y" draw him all the nearer. And this not
t because sho necessarily loves him. N'o,
Indeed! Hut she doesn't wont him to
entirely escape and become the property
jLi.and adoring slne of some one else.
A very cynical writer Informs us that
"the moro a woman love's a man, tho
worse It is for him." lie will find It eus-
; ler to escape death than the well-meant
efforts of his lady-love to hold his hand
h .at ill times and In all sorts of Inconve-
:, Went places.
"Women, It Is pretty generally con-
.' ceded, are tenaclouB beings. They look
fy about as soft and harmless as a rainbow
Jellyfish; but, like the Jellyfish, once they
get a grip on you well, they don't let
go, that's all. I always feel sorry for tho
man I see In the Incipient throes of a
love affair. How the pretty damsel ho
seeks to hold flutters from him, coyly
disdaining his suit! How shy she Is of
the kiss he Irt dying to give her! How
sho eludes his nrm behind the palm tree
In tho conservatory! 'Charming little
modest thing!' the man thinks fondly.
"It is only later that he discovers that
she wan merely baiting the trap merely
luring him on and on until sho held him
securely, That tho rose leaves of nrmB
she has wound so tightly nround his
neck are the solid Iron bonds of matri
mony, and that he Is the prisoner of that
blessed damosel for life. Only It Isn't
blessed ho calls her then."
The cynicism of these cheerful state
ments certainly docs not tend to mnko tho
rosy path of matrimony sound alluring!
The writer, however, ndds that, "If ever
a woman does let a man go, It Is only
because she Iibh discovered some other
victim she considers moro stiltnble."
Hut tho man who has escaped from the
first lady will pretty soon be enchained
by another, or, to use the metaphor of
the glassbowl, ho will soon be back again
swimming contentedly within Its narrow
confines, and only grumbling when she.
forgets to change tho water!
And probably ho will be exceedingly
hnppy there, too. For men, nftor nil, nrc
adaptable creatures. In spite of their
Don Juan reputations, once they have
realised the domination of 13ve, they ac
cept their falo meekly and make tho best
of It. Moreover, without the Interest nnd
the excitement engendered by tho capri
cious wajs of women, tho world would
nssuiedly bo an Infinitely duller place!
The Daily Glory
Idleness
There is no dearer lover of lost hours
Than I.
I can be Idler than the idlest flowers;
More Idly lie
Than noonday lilies languidly afloat.
And water pillowed In a windless moat.
And I can bo ,
Stiller than some gray stone
That hath no motion known.
It seems to mo
That my still Idleness doth mako my own
All magic gifts of Joy's simplicity.
Silas Weir Mitchell.
At the Court of Rex
"I am lost!" said the Pretty Maiden,
with a ttualntly tragic air.
She stood back against the window of
a big depaitment sloro on Canal street
and scanned tho surging crowd before
her. It wos Mardl Oras Day In Now
Orleans, nnd the Pretty Maiden had been
In town only llireo hours, two of which
had been spent In a hotel.
"i havu lost my mother," sho said
again, as If to Impress tho fact upon her
self "and my father" then she added, as
an afterthought, "nnd my purse."
"I'm glad I'm lost," she said to horsclfi
"they'll know I was separated from them
by tho crowd, and they'll bo fearfully
worried, but after a whllo they'll find
me, ut'i meantlmo I feel as If something
were golr.g to happen a wild adventure,
perhaps, Oh! I lovo carnlvall I'm glad
I enmc."
A drum throbbed subtly lti tho dis
tance; tho crowd surged to tho edge of
tho banquette, then surged back again
with easy laughter, for no parado ap
peared.
"Ah," said sonic one at tho Pretty
Maiden's elbow; "I beg your pardon, but
I thought I was never going to find you.
Tho crown Is so thick."
The Pretty Maiden stared. A young
mnn. rlntiti hlinvnn nmt rmlnpntlv nrn.
seiitablc, was regarding her, hat In hand.
"I'm afraid you don't remember me,"
ho suggested, a trifle crestfallen. "Isn't
this Miss Preston?"
The Pretty Maiden's eyes widened. To
herself she cried, "The adventure!" but
aloud she satd quite cooly:
"I'm afraid the odvnntnge Is yours."
"I'm sorry," he answered, stiffly, "Hut
please don't think me an Impertinent
stranger. My cousin wrote me to meet
you horc, jou nnd vour sister. She
asked me to show jou around for tho
parade. I my name Is Robert Ran
dolph," he finished awkwardly.
"Oh," sho said, with tho friendliest
smile Imaginable, "you nrc IJobby Ran
dolph?" "Of course," he agreed, cheerfully, "It's
been a great while since we saw each
other, but still "
"So It has," sold the Pretty Mnldcn,

"Just ten years," sold Mr. Randolph.
"Ten years, three months, seven days,
two hours, and, I think, twenty-seven
minutes."
"Hear me," she mm inured, breathlessly.
"And, by the way, Where's your sister;
didn't she come?"
"My sister?" sold the Pretty Maiden,
quite astonished. "My slater? Oil er
yes. of coinse, she camo; hut sho had n
fearful headache, nnd she decided to stay
at the hotel; nnd I hate to miss the

"Of course. Too bad she won't see It,"
sold Mr. Randolph, regretfully.
"The trip wns so long nnd tiresome."
said the Pretty Maiden, Incautiously.
"Two hours long! I like that. Why, it's
only fortv-clght miles between here nnd
Pass Christian,"
"Dlstonco," said the Pretty Maiden,
sentcntlously, "Is not n matter of miles
with me, at least," she added, prudently.
' Well, we can have n Jolly time by
ourselves, anyhow," Mr. Randolph as
sured her.
"We'll have tlmo to go and get some
hot chocolate before Rex gets here," he
calculated, cheerfully. "Look out there,
will you?" Thin last to a lino of col
lege boys who wcro going through the
crowd like an nnlmated wedge.
Tho Pretty Maiden laughed dellclously.
"You look so nngry," sho explained
between gnsps; then stopped suddenly
becnusi a small red devil, with battered
mnsk, aimed n shower of confetti at her
laughing face.
Thero was a blare of trumpets rlnwn
tho street nnd the long roll of a drum
A wave of excitement submerged the
people. Randolph used shoulders and
elbows with a skill that bespoke long
'experience on the football field, and the
Pretty Maiden found herself In the front
of tho crowd. Mounted nollcemen Tinned
slowly pnst her, a band shrilling worth
"If Ever I Cease to Love," nnd then
Rex nnd his cohorts.
The Pretty Mnlden dimpled and blushed
from sheer delight at the gorgeous
spectacle, and the capering mnskers on
tho fantastic floats repaid her Interest.
One threw her a great fragrant bunch of
violets, which Bho clnBped with both hands
like nn excited child; nnother tossed
nn armlet of brais; a third a box of
French sweets, until young Randolph was
hugely proud of her. Then, when the
last silver tower and shimmering veil
had melted down the street he Bwiincr
j her Into tho crowd again, her cheeks
, pink with excitement and tho great
purple violets nestling In the furs under
, her pretty chin.
"Now, let's have that chocolate." snM
Mr. Randolph. They found a corner in
! a pretty tearoom, and ho dispatched a
I waiter for their order, while the room
tilled steadily.
I "Do you know," he said, "you've
changed Bomehow?"
I The Pretty Maiden came back with n
I start to the fact that Mr. Randolph was
I not a life-long friend.
"Have I?" she asked safely.
"Yes," he repeated, "somehow, you've
changed. You always were pretty, vou
know, and I always was your abject
slave, but now "
"I've changed?" aaked the Pretty
Maiden mournfully.
"You're so so much more so," ho ex
plained lucidly
"You remember," psked Mr. Randolph
presently, "how we used to love eacn
other when you were 10 and I was H?"
"We didn't," she said with a stnrt.
"Oh, nonsense! You cried your eyea
out when I left for school. And you
said you'd marry me when you grew up
and when we said good-by you kissed
me."
"I did nothing of the sort," cried the
Pretty Maiden, very pink and furious.
"You've forgotten." said Mr. Randolph.
"There's no reason why you should be
usuuiuca u it, j cnuaisn anectlon 'a
the moat slncere-rand you certainly were
fond of me," he finished tamely,
"I've changed very much," said the
Pretty Maiden, thoughtfully selecting a
macaroon from the plate of cakes.
"I'm sorry." said Mr. Randoloh lm.
, ply, "because you're even nicer than you
uaed to be."
"I want to tell you something," she
said, "I'm not Miss Preston I nevsr
saw you before. I'm here for the car
nival, and I lost my people In the crowd
this morning. And then you came and
I know it was horrid of me."
"Well." said Mr, Randolph stiffly.
"Well, It waa Just a lark." she pleaded
defiantly, "and won't you please go now
hurry, please." The Pretty Maiden had
seen her mother and father across the
"room.
"If you wish It. of course," said Mr.
Randolph with most unreasonable dig
nity, "I think you better," she eald, and
fairly pushed him away, and In a mo.

mother with Indignation In her eye.
"Well, you lost roe," she eaJd vrtth
hypocritical anger, "for two whole hour,
and ym nearly starved."
The Pretty Maiden and her parents
dined with friends that night, and the
Pretty Maiden went in to dinner with

feeling. Then they both laughed

The Garden in May
May Is the month for the real garden.
It is the time when tho amateur garden
er sees the fulfilment of his desires the
little green shoots which begin to peep
through the earth, where he planted his
seeds nnd bulbs before. One of our most
famous gardening experts gives the fol
lowing hints for the cultivation of on
ideal garden during the month of Mny.
First, plnnt dnhllas and asters in this
month. Feed all tho tender rose plants
with manure wnter, giving them a final
spraying. This is Imperative, for If you
nro looking forward to having "the last
rose of summer" late In September, this
requires absolute fidelity to the rule.
On tho first of Mny, you are supposed
to set out bedding plants, geraniums,
salvia, etc. Today looks far from promis
ing for such a practice, but the air la
warm.
The vegetablo garden reccivea no less
attention than its more Impractical rival
during May. This Is the tlmo to grow
our own sweet potato plants, set out
cantaloupe nnd squash plants, and to
make a third planting of corn. Resides
this, it is a good time to put a bug finish
on the Irish potato plant.

KAISERIN VISITS WOUNDED
A Sigh
It was nothing but a rose I gave her,
Nothing but a rose.
Any wind might rob of half Its savor,
Any wind that blows.
When she took It from my trembling
fingers,
With a hand as chill
Ah, the flying touch upon them lingers,
Stays, and thrills them still.
Withered, faded, pressed between the
pages,
Crumpled fold on fold
Once It lay upon her breast, and ages
Cannot make it old!
