Little Things In Married Life.
Why should not a girl "don her
prettiest gown and curl her hair to
prefection" on tho evening sho ex
poets her lover? It is a wish to do
cievo that moves us to put our best
feet forward when we are, as it were,
to bo weighed iu tho balance t I
think not, but merely a natural and
right wish to bo judged at our best
and not our worst.
However, if a girl will put on a
smart gown and curl her hair when
she expects her lover, is there any
reason why she should not do tho
same when she expects her husband .
And if a man notices that his sweet
heart has 011 a now frock and tells
her how becoming it is and how
much ho likes her h lir arranged in
that Huffy way is there any reason
why ho should not tell his wife the
samo thing ?
If every enga god man and girl
would study tho subject of marriage
thoughtfully, with a view to playing
tho parts of husband and wife care
fully aud well, there would bo fewer
cases for tho divorce courts.
It is hard for us to realize that
tritles make life. Nevertheless a
bright looking woman iu a pretty
gown, standing in tho door with a
warm welcome homo for hun, may
make a man feel that it is worth
while to sit at a desk all day long,
and a rose brought homo and pre
sented with a loving word will bo a
tonic indeed to tho woman who has
boon stiching all day in order to
save and add her share to tho nest

boasts that ho has married nearly
O.inki couples, is now lecturing on
