F all queer places Mr. Jarr had ever found himself—and in his carecr in @ great city's business twenty-three, without visible means of support, he was the father of three children and the eldest son of @ ruined country tradesman who waa in prison for debt. Prudence waa the prime motive of the marriage, and It was contracted against the wishes of his father, whose displeasure was visited upon the union, Shakespeare's juveniiity at Stratford was marked rather by carelessness end Alasipation than by cool calculation and pecuniary wisdom (to adopt with slight he had seen variation hia line in “Timon of Athens"); we may confidently assert that at this strange things—the place ihe was now |immediately got in consultation with a period, “LOVE AND GABERTY CREPT IN THR MIND AND MARROW OF being ushered into was the queerest, uniformed rorter, The porter opened Mig YOUTH.’ v ¢ “T Anne Hathaway's greater burden of years and the likelihood that the a Mr. Jarr was on the threshold of “Tho waite Hathaway's greater burden of years and the lkelinood that t oot augury, He insieta In “Twelfth Night” that a woman should take in marriage an elder than hereelf, “Let atill the woman tafe An elder than herself. So wears ahe to him, So aways she level in her husband's heart.” Shakespeare sald that Anne Hathaway “hath a way.” And the way he dwells upon jealousy in ‘The Comedy of Brrors,” and the fact that he went to London and stayed there twenty-eight years, gives an additional force to the belicf thet he was henpecked. There was no intellectual bond between his wife and himself. ‘Their married life was an empty form. On his return to his wife at Stratford she was fifty-seven and he @. Susanna, his eldest daughter, was thirty, end martied to D:. John Hall, and hie daughter Judith wae twenty-eight and wn- married. Anno Hathaway was desperately pious.
