WOMAN’S CUTENESS.
“ For ways that are dark and tricks that are vain” the average married woman can, as a general thing, give points to any heathen Chinee who ever wielded a brace of shop-sticks. Who that has much opportunity of judging the dear creatures would dare question the accuracy of the assertion ? Here is a little story that comes to us (Herald) bearing an endorsement as to its authenticity;—“A loving couple had only been married a few weeks and were for the present living with the parents of the lady, pending the completion of other arrangements. They were as happy as young people similarly Situated usually are, for the round world contained, in their opinion,only one thoroughly contented couple. They were that twain. One day she wanted £8 and he was compelled to deny her. He had already overdrawn his account, and, though it nearly broke his heart to do so, had to ask for a time. Next day when he went home he found her in tears and apparently in the deepest grief, and when at length he succeeded in smoothing her she told how she had, while out walking during the day lost the bracelet he had given her soon after the engagement. He suggested advertising and offering a reward of £2 for its restoration. But, as she tearfully pointed out the bangle was worth £lO, the reward was increased to £3 and the advertisment appeared in next morning’s papers. That evening the missing article was brought home by a young lady, who received the reward. Next day the wifey of his bosom was seen doing the block with a new hat on which cost \ £3, and he has since given considerable time to thinking whether the disappearance of the bracelet might not be associated in any way with the advent of the hat.” \ .. =
