WEANGn Af this time of the year é¢ {9 hard to tell whether love 1s merely a moon- Oh effect, or just an exaggerated form of curiosity. Reforming a husband ts as unsatisfactory as remodelling an old gown; when you have cut out all the weak spots and bad places there ian't much of anything left. The average man looks upon marriage as a sort of post-mortem affair where he can rest after all the excitement and good times in Ufe are over. Anybody can afford to wear diamonds, nowadays, but only o miliion- airess can afford to wear paste. Every man has a strict code of principles and a high moral standard— for his wife. . You never can tell how a man will turn out until he marrtes; sometimes the baikiest and wildest bronchos will trot along like old Dobbins once they have been thoroughly whipped into double harness.
