WOMAN'S WORLD.

DON'TS FOR BRIDES. Don't, because you are married to the man you love, cease to take an intelligent interest in outside matters, and remember always to taku great pains lo make yourself look attractive. Before you married you exerted yourself to please your sweetheart; you consulted liU wishes in all things, and deferred iu his judgment. Do so still. Don't drift into the habit of discussing your husband with your friends if lie lias vexed you, perhaps, by beiug a little irritable when he comes home after a long day's work. It is not to bi wondered at that lie should be tired, so no notice should be taken of the fact if he is not in the best of tempers. Believe in your husband. Let him feel that you know the best in him. Be gentle with him; don't contradict him when he is tired; feed him with what lie likes and laugh at his jokes. Heroin lies the secret of a happy home. WHAT EVERY HUSBAND KNOWS. That it &-.-wonderful how even the simplest gown has advanced in price, compared with what it was last year. That it isn't safe to mention, even in a whisper, the altogether dcsiraWe and inexpensive place he has selected on his own account to have the family go this summer. That the household expenses could easily be cut in half if he only had the time to put his gigantic intellect an! business experience upon them. That one and one make four or five; That there is always one room in the house that simply cannot wait any longer to be decorated. That the "little affair" to which a "few friends" arc to be invited means In tin; end about two weeks' hard work, a house full of people, and an ture of hundreds. That his own ideas about disciplining children are always too radical to bo carried out. THE "LOTTERY" OF MARRIAGE. There arc those who say thai people I "have no right to marry" if they iwish •to diverge on different paths & few years afterwards. Tint marriage is a lottery, Ami, like nil lotteries, many draw blanks, while only a few get really valuaMc prizes. Undoubtedly, the careless and liglit-iieai'teil way in which people rush into matrimony nowadays is n«]ioiifiil)le In no small degree for the multiplication of divorce cases. "Nothing is more deeply punished than t.he neglect of the affinities," said Emerson, and this is especially true where marriage is concerned. Furthermore, modern men and women seem to lack that stability of character and capacity for self-sacrifice which aic so necessary to domestic happiness.
