PRACTICAL LESSONS IN THE ART OF WINNING A WIFE. ! BY esson Ill, Explains the Dis- position and Character a Girl Has a Right (o Expect In the Man Who Is to-Be Her Husband. HE girl a man wins has the right to expect and demand a good husband. ‘it she be a sane woman s.e will never choose for a life companion a young man who gambles with his money and who Is fairly certein to gamble with her chance of life happiness. She will choose @ young man whom she can Qonor és well as love, whom she can respect, whom ehe can trust with her But, unfortunately, girisiare un- is blind. Before making a marriage con- tract let both young people think care- future, suspecting, inexperienced and love fully of its meaning and all it involves. Here ia an astonishing fact for lovers Of all ages to consider: A young man tries to do his best in all lines of business—except for the respon- alble, lifetime business of being a hus- band to some woman ‘who trusts her entire future in his hands, For every other business some sort of @xamination must be passed—a physical, @ mental or a moral one, and often a combination of the three. A man cannot get a job at Btreet-cleaning unless he ~- HARRIET HUBBARD can show ability to do the work. He can not seouré a’ place as night watch- man around a lumber-pile unless he can prove his honesty and fidelity and his courage to meet possible dangers. But of a would-be husband no ques- ‘tions are asked, no public penalties are threatened for any failure in devotion. As a street-sweeper, glean streets would be denianded of him by a com- mittee of public safety, As a husband ‘he may leave his moral life doubtful, yet nobody questions him as to its dangerous menace to the happiness of the woman he marries. Think over my words, you young men who write to me for counsel, Think— anil let acting follow the thinking. Fit Yourself for belng a good husband as you” would’ fit’yourself for being a good business man—by training and developing the ‘faculties of mind and disposition which will be requjred in the marriage you aspire to. You will need sterling qualities of ine tegrity and honor in marriage as in any other position, You will ‘d sane mind, a clean soul. You will need a strength that is tender and o tenderness that is strong, You will need clear judgment, wise patience, perfect ‘love. ‘The woman you win has a right to ex- 1] pect of, you a realization of her best womanly deal. You take her from her mother; you loosen all her home tles; you transplant her ¢rom her own life into yours. At first there is the charm of nov- jelty, the delight in “setting up hou keeping,” the happiness of being all th world to each other, Married life may be always happy if AYER. husband and wife mutually endeavor to make it so, Yet happiness has {ts deep under-currents as well as its light, rip- pling waves, | ‘There ‘will come times when your joy will seem as solemn as sorrow—times when perhaps {t will follow sorrow. ‘With light hearts you will laugh to- gether when everything seems right. With earnest purpose you should stand Being extracts from “The Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son,” by George Horace Lorimer, published in book form by Small, Maynard & Co, iy each other If adversities or any clouds come. 1 ‘Numbers of young men give more thought to the selection of a horse or @ finé-dog than they give to thelr chotce of a wite. ‘And many of them who reflect care- fully whether or not they can provide for and attend to a fine horse will take a girl from her happy home life and starve her in heart and {n soul. Love is absolutely essential in any true marriage, but in true love there must be congeniality, A young man nwbo chooses his wite because of her pretty face, may find it hard to be a loving husband if the pretty face hap- pens to fade. There should be @ like- ness of tastes, a true unity of thought; there will then be the Feat unlon of lesson will de- scribe a girl’s power of influenc- ing the mind and actions of the man who loves her.

He entered the house and went at once to his wife's sitting room. The room was empty. AM at once things grew fiat and colorless. After a while he drew a deep breath and his hand went involuntarily to his pocket, resting there lingeringly, with a wort of regretful affection. For an In- stant a look of gratified pride stole over his rugged features his fingers closed tenderly over the precious letter that had that day brought him tidings of fame and fortune. With a sigh he sought his sleeping room, taking off bie clothes in « half- @azed fashion that betrayed the mastery of some terrible emotion, He was ex- hausted after the day's strain and soon Gropped Into a restful slumber, Toward dawn he was dimly conscious of foot- steps on the veranda; there was @ busz of voices, then his wite’a low laugh! broke musioally on the etill alr, and he! fei ¥nto a profound sleep that lasted till morning. Dawn broke gradually into a perfect day. Violet Disbrowe sat watching the brilliant streaks of sunlight that trem- bied through the breakfast-room win- dow.

That evening with Jack Wetherell Seemed strangely short, in contrast to the Jong, dull hours she was sometimes forced to spend in her hueband’s society. By the side of this man’s conversation that of her husband's became mere in- sipld twaddle. The thought that she the wife of such a one grew more and more intolerable with every hour. When Disbrowe came home the fol- lowing might the house was in total darkness, He entered with a dull fore- boding pressing ke @ physiva! burden against his heart. He sat down wear- fly to rest, all capacity for, thought seeing to have gone from his over- changed brain. Presently he turned ab- sently to take up the evening paper. As he Gid so his keen eye singled out a folded sheet of note-paper on the reading table. There was no address; he raised it slowly with hands that shook beyond his controt and read: “My Darling; I an compelled to be ‘away from home this evening, much to my regret.

The actor was placed on a table, which was the predecessor of the modern stage. In all countries ‘the drama originated In the chorus, and from the Greeks, who sacrificed a goat or tragos to Bacchus, while chanting epic poems, to the Chhi- nese, the Indians, the early French and English, religious sentiment was upper- most. The word orchestra of to-day 1s de- rived from the place where the chorus stood and performed thelr orchestric motions, It was in the later develop- ment of the Greek drama that the chorus stood on the stage. It 1s not stated that there were any front rows for the enthustastio elderly patrons of the drama, and the chorus gil of to-day from her vantage ground of ithe raised stage has, gained something in the line of evolution. The prototype of the mod- opera was formed when the chorus was moved to the stage.
