MARRIAGE BRIEFS.
For the woman who has long been a wife, death has few terrors. She who converts her lover into her 'husband transforms her worshipper into an intolerable despot. The ultimate effect of marriage upon man is to make all women appear lovely except her he has married. The couples who want children have already grown apart, and hope to be reunited through the offspring. We may love all our lives without satiety, unless we marry. Then we have satiety without satisfaction. The fact that women who wed once and who are widowed are apt to wed again, only proves the force and the evil of habit. .How many persons marry a second time to revenge themselves for what they have suffered in the first experiment ? Pity is near akin to love outside of wedlock : inside of wedlock it is another name for contempt, and soon destroys all hope of sympathy. At a late wedding in England the sons of the Hon. Alan Egerton—cousins of the bride—wore suits of light blue, in imitation of the Duke of Westminster's ' Blue Boy,' by Gainsborough.
