POPULAR IDEA OF MARRIAGE.
Make The Home Attrnctive and
He Will Seldom Leave You
Alone.
' It is cenaiti that the society man
of today marries a woman who
makes his home a restful plaee
from which he is seldom tempted
to wander. Why should he? The
sunniest, brightest room in the
house is his sanctum; here are his
favorite brinks, pictures he likes,
the latest maga.ines with leaves
cut and no end of pipes. When
(he train whistles into the depot,
in which is this fortunate man, a
' fire is started on the low hearth to
; make the room cheerful, although
the warmth is not needed. To
: this room he brings his friends and
i here husband and wife sit when
; alone, liverything that will help
! the wife to make a home a means
i of grace she reads, on her table
! are always to be found books and
j magazines that talk of the higher
; life of the home. We mean good
cooking when we say higher life,
; a hitherto much neglected part of
religion. This man formerly out
every evening, rarely goes to the
theater or opera, or ball, because
his home has greater attraction
and he is really now so sensible,
well-informed, and amounting to
1 something that his friends are re
joiced that the seemingly incongru
ous marriage came about.

The business man was sitting in I
his oflice, thinking of starting for :
home, when a suspicious looking
, person came in with a leather bag
! in his hand.
! "If you don't give me $25,"
j said the visitor, coming at once to
the point.
"I will drop this on the floor."
The business man was cool.
"What is is in it ?" he asked.
"Dynamite," was the brief re
ply. "What will it do if you drop it?"
"Blow you."
"Drop it!" was the instant
command. ' My wife (old me
when l left home this morning to
be sure and send up a bag of flour,
and I forgot it. I guess it will take
just about as much dynamite as
you have there to prepare me
for the blowing up I'll get when
she sees me !"
He threw himself back in his
chair and waited lor the explosion,
but it did not come.
"I'm a married man myself,"
said the dynamiter, and quietly
slipped out Illustrated Bits.

Dim eyes peer out from golden casements where
l-'launts frequently a strand of silver hair;
Bright shines the sun and sweet the meadows spread,
And fair the sky that smiles above her head.
There, by the stream where bend the willows low,
We started life - and 'twas not long ago;
Ah! then the sun seemed harbored in her eyes,
Amid their blue and tear-swept mysteries !
Her hands, like soft magnolia petals were;
Her breath like zephys half afraid to stir;
Her lips with honey dropt; the jonquil's grace
Was in her form and love shone in her face.
She cried and trembled as I told her then
I wanted her for wife (my sweet !) and when
1 kissed her and she kissed me, Heaven seemed
To lavish joys of paradise undreamed.
Heaven ! They say we near it, for we're old;
Her soft, magnolia hand still wears the gold
That pledged us through the paradise begun
And knows no ending with the setting sun.
The viok'l depth has shallowed in her eye,
The roses in her cheeks, perhaps a sigh
Of mild regret has wilted, but her grace
Of mind and soul illumine her dear face.
The meadows sweet and green turn brown and sere,
Change and decay, life, death spread everywhere
Save in the souls where sacredly is laid
The echoes of a lover's serenade.

CNILDI.Ikt: IGNORANCE. j
Laura Jean Lihbcy, discussing
in Brooklyn her successful appear
ance on the stage, said:
"I talk in my monologue about
love, marriage and the other inter
ests of the heart. On these sub
jects women, especially young
women, are strangely ignorant.
"They really make me think,
you know, of the little girl who
was asked by her teacher:
"What can you tell us about
Solomon?'
" 'Solomon,' replied the little
girl, "was very fond of animals.'
"'And how, my dear,' said the
teacher, 'do you make that out?'
"'Because,' answered the little
girl, 'the Bible says he had 500
porcupines.' "
