One of the tragedies of life is the! conflict of .the tid> with the untidy temperament. Two excellent persons marry, two delightful persons, t two persons with many elements of 1 sympathy, capable of augmenting c other's pleasures in life in many ways ^ But one has always been accustomed ; to neatness, to tidiness, to having ? a place for everything and keeping it there, and the other has not; hence arise irritating divergence and un-1 necessary wear and tear, and what i i'ht be a charming home is too of-j : ten rendered miserable.
