I have read with much amusement some
of the letters written by Inen giving their
views of wiveauays a writer In the Phila-

all depeMed on woman and that loan

I am of the opinion that the true reuon
of there not being more good wives Is be
cause there are not more good husbands.
Let a young man who tools he is In a po-
sition to marry endeavorto find some good
tglrl, who has been properly reared—men

slteran worralntanoe. there should bee

he no happlnms—they can solely marry.
Alter marriage the man must remember
that be has married nhumau being like
himself and must expect to discover many
imperfections, but ll he would be he py
he must‘orcrlook them,and he will nd ,
shewill overlook any be may have. ,
A man should know his wife the some
love and kindness he did when he was her
lover. Woman craves love. It Is to her
what dew Is to the flowers. Such a girl as
I havedemrlbed, reared by a good mother,
will understand and be willing to take
chorgo of the house. In her husband has

she will gladly do her own work. Of
course I do not mean the heavier work-
washing. houscclcnnlng, etc; there would
be no economy in that, as docmr‘s fees
would he suretooost more in a short time.
It will not be nocesslry for a man to
complain of a wife such its this regarding
her dress. She will always be as neat and
so well unused as her positltm will pdmlt.
This wile will not be a waliflower at
any gathering sbo they attend. llcr edp-

Considerable fun may be had in foggy
weather by getting into a nonsmoking
carriage, with an unllghtcd cigar ln"your
mouth. I tried It the other day, with im-
mense success. At first, when I entered,
the trarelcrs all scowlud at me and scented
disinclined to shift themselves, so M to
make room for mo, but by sheer weight I
forced thorn to. Once seated, I pulled
forth a huge volume of breath, which, in
the fog hanging on the air, looked exactly
like smoke.
At first I was afraid there was no one
present with suiliclont public spirit to
champion the right of the nonsmokers, but
at the second pull a gentleman In the op-
posite corner, who were black shiny leg-
gings and had a gold locket hanging from
his chain, said, “This is not a smoking
carriage, slr." "You are very right," I
answered, at the same time omitting no-
otber pull of breath. “I said this was not
a smoking carriage," be repeated. "Ah,
I thought that was what you said!” I re-
plied. “ You are no gentleman, sir,” said
a thin, sour looking lady next to him, ap-
parently his wife.

To which I replied that I did not under-

The next station was duly reached, and
then the foreign gentleman and two
others called for the guard. He came up.
‘What is it?" “This person insists on
smoking.” ”Morning, guard!" I said.
“Kindly examine that cigar and tell me if
it has been lighted." The guard looked
at it, returned it, with. n“No, air,” and
slammed the door, and some one muttered
something about it's being a silly mon-
key’s trick—Pick Me Up.
