In all things, personal and social— private and public—the firm grasping , ofthe nettle that must be plucked is the only safe and rational way. We all have to encounter unpleasantness in our life time, and those of us who meet them most boldly and with least delay are the most certain to escape with least damage. - Those who delay and dally, and try to get off this or try to soften that, are the victims foredoomed. Their net: ales, grasped, would have been crushed andj innocuous; gently and timidly stroked they are formidable and pain- fill. Whenxou-r sins find us out and we cannot deny. that we have failed here and transgressed there, of what avail to cast back the blame and throw, now Dame- woman and now on the serpent, the initial evil of temptation ‘9 \Ve yielded to that temptation, and herein hes our guilt. - We have. nothing to do with the taizstarausansof'our misdeeds. It was OUTS to have'resisted, and we' faltered incur-duty and failed our obligation. Eli. was our nettle that we had to grasp, and the chain of responsibility stops short at ourselves. ‘ I’C my to throw it farther and farther at? is to stroke that formidable weed with a tender hand and to get doubly stung for our pains. In all things courage is the best way out of a diffi-_ acuity. 'l‘cvmeet. and confront the hour of retribution or of accusation, when we :sre innocent of the wrong wherewith are. are charged——to grasp the nettle of difficulty, of misund rstanding, of ma- levolencc,,of repentance—this is the act of a. men, and meets with a man’s , Reward: the obverse is the shame of a onward, and the coward has his right- Ilnl portion meted out to him. g flay/eke (ll/(($149. 0-.

It seemed to him an excellent time to impress the lesson upon her, so as he made a move for his hat he said to her: ' “Suppose you had wanted me to spend the evening with you before we were married, and I had planned to do something else. You wouldn’t have sulked, would you?” he asked. “NO—o. I suppose not," she replied hesitatingly. “You Wouldn’t have got cross and been disagreeable about it, would you?" “Probably not!” "You would have been just as nice " and sweet and clever as you possibly could be,” he asserted. “You would have been both lovable and loving, and would have tried to coax me to give up my other place. Isn’t that so?” "Perhaps it is,” she faltered, “but——” grand total, eleven and a. half miles. ' “Never mind the ‘but’s,’" he inter- rupted, feeling that he was gaining his point. “What I am trying to impress upon you is that a woman doesn’t seem to think it worth while to try the same arts on a. husband that she does on a. lover. That’s where you’re both fgol- ish and unjust. Now, you admit that before marriage—" “Before marriage,” she broke in, “if you had spokn of going anywhere and I had pouted 'just the least little bit, what w0uld you have done?" “Um—ah—well, I suppose—” “If you had noticed what seemed to be even the merest traces of a. tear what would have happened?” “Why, my dear, I-—-” , “If I had merely looked at you plead- ingly what would you have done re- garding that other engagement?” “Really, you don’t give me time to answer. I must confess that in all probability I would have—4+” “Even it up, of course,” she prompt- ed. “Isn’t it worth while to make the same sacrifice for a wife that you do for a sweetheart?” . '- - - Somehow he couldn’t help feeling that his little lesson was lost on her, but it is worthy of note that he told a business‘associate the next day that any man who went on the theory that a woman can’t reason as clearly as a man, was laying up a large store of trouble for himself. - , ,. _ --.-...I._, a.“ Risk Eggs Hatched by Hens.» " ‘ In China hens are employed to hatch- fish eggs. These are sealed in an egg- shell and placed under the unsuspects ing hen for a few days. The contents of the shell are then emptied into a shallow pool, where they can bask in the sunshine until the minnows are strong enough to betu‘rned into a lake or river. ' 1.0ch Omar—Combinations. Pale apple green and softest primrose yellow is a favored color combination this season, also lovely tints in pink, with sage green or apricot. Lily white and deep cream color are also united again. There are many who continue to think that the one tint. wholly “kills the‘ot‘her”; still, the mixture appears amongsome of the handsomest white dresses and on the most approved French millinery for the summer. Us—etn‘l" Morocco Cases. A recent bride spared some of her morocco cases and other jewellers’ boxes, which came to her holding gifts, to pass around among her young wo- man fricnds, who promptly utilized them. for the boxes are by no means the useless articles which they are’ sometimes regarded as being. The morocco case, usually satin lined, can,‘ it deep enough, be easily converted into a handy handkerchief box. Flat ones, that have held spoons or forks, make good tie boxes, or can be used for veils. The lining is taken out and any stiffen- ed partitions removed. A pad of 53: shot powder is then slipped in and the satin replaced. A little ingenuity will adapt to excelient service almost any one of these cases.
