Early Trial
of Wedded
Life
BY IRENE WESTON.
It is an old saying that great re-1
suits spring from see mingly' insignifi
cant causes, and so the newly mar
ried, while avoiding uch barrier reefs
as ill-temper, jealousy and the like,
would do well to look out for, and
steer clear of the many small rocks
which they are pretty sure to en
counter. Strange as it may be to say so,
it. is well known that comparatively
few in the early days of wedded
life seem at home with one another.
The house is often hew, the furniture
and the surroundings are newer, but
palpably the newest of all are the
couple who have just been married
This is one reason why in some cases
it is painful to visit one's friends who
have taken the plunge until, perhaps,
six months have elapsed. As one
cannot stay away so long wtihout of
fending them, one goes and suffers.
One is more than anxious to tell
them not to do this, and another is
burning to beg them to do the other,
but a word dare not be uttered,
There are a thousand daily joys
for which thanks might be given if
only their realization could be at
tained, but many let them pass by.
They vaguely recognize them as bits
of happiness, which, if duly woven
into the woof of life, would brighten
it as no jewels ever could.
A short time ago a friend called
to see a married woman of a few
months' standing, and was, natur
ally, received wfih pleasure. She,
however, mentioned Edwin as "tea
ing" at his mother's, and asked her
visitor to partake the cheering cup
with her. She did so, and was given
bread and butter and bride cake.
And then ensued the following con
versation. Looking at the bridecake,
the visitor said;
"Not eaten it all, yet?"
"Oh, no, not eaten yet I We have
it every day for tea," she responded
in the most cheerful manner.
"Why not keep it for Sundays,
birthdays ' and Christmas? was (he
next suggestion, and the reply was:
"What's the use of letting it get
dry or buying other cakes, when we
have this in the house?"
Certainly that was one wav of
looking at it, but the friend of the
newly wedded one understood why
Edwin had gone to his mother's for
tea.
In another case a friend had over
200 presents when she married.
They pretty near filled the drawing
room in her little villa in fact, a
very large table, half the size of the
room, groaned under them; others
were on chairs, the sofa and even the
floor. They were in view for several
weeks and they may be there yet. It
was nearly as depressing to live in
that room at it would be to camp out
under a bazar stall. The presents
and things continually in evidence
emphasize the situaton, and prevent
them feeling at home. If newly mar
ried people want to settle down
quickly they should use the packing
cases for firewood and to try to for
get they are married.
What causes the most friction be
tween the married eouple is, perhaps,
the indifferent cooking. A thoroughly
domesticated wife is a jewel, and she
can turn herself out as bewitching
as anybody. It is well known, how
ever, that a vast number of men hate
twice cooked meat, but the careful
wife decrees that her husband should
frequently dine upon stews and
hashes. It sometimes happens that
these dished are watery, greasy, flab
by, and everything but appetizing.
This would be avoided if only she
had taken a course of instruction be
fore he had been married or a few
pence had been expended on a cook
ery book. She would then have been
able to have turned out delicious en
tries, capital sauces, and truly
lovely afternoon tea cakes. The best
thing to be done is to banish every
bit of while ribbon, silver decora
tions and orange blossoms.
It is good to teach young people to
appreciate the infinite, every day
pleasures that surround them; and
another secret of happiness in daily
life is the appreciation of the friend
shin and affection which some are
inclined to uphold, but lightly until
threatened with their loss. To awake
to a full sense of its value is to learn
to appreciate it as it never had been
before.
Matty young wives hold the idea
that to be domesticated is a middle,
rlavt characteristic. Ear front it,
The daughters of the well-to-do mid
dle clj4r are the idlest and most
empty minded, and think it smart
to be able to do nothing. This is a
grand miitake in mote ways than
one, for idle people are never happy,
ami tieiiueiiny their live bring a
stii'g ol ternMe remorse in their
tram.

'OT you," said Love with an eye to the aviary netting, nd peer
ing at the grim dark eagle with his golden eye cold with
pride, "not you, though you have flown into the blue flare
of lightning, have soared against the sun with your eye undimmed
with its splendor, have built your home on the corries's crest, where
the wind lives, have screamed with fierce laughter at the humble
aeroplane that aspired below you, and even though the Maker of
birds and the man who tells about you in big books dubs you o, you
are never King! A great bird stands on one leg with a smiling black
eye warm and soft, down there 'a ways,' and he knows where the
garden beyond the moon lies and mites of babies sleep in lily-pads.
And he can go there and fetch the! YOU do not know the way
there, though the west wind is your blood-brother. And the little
couple pacing along there arm in arm and wi her litttle left hand,
I am gratified to 6ee, is the glint of gold and dew they know that
he knows. And they will tell you that he is the King of The Birds!"

French Woman's
Secrets of
Neat Dressing
By A PARIS CORRESPONDENT.
"The little more and how much it
is, uic nine less ana wnai worms
away" applies well to dressing, and to
judge by the way a French woman
dresses, it means, as a rule, more fin
ish and less trimming.
The gift of selection in clothes
seems to be bom with the women of
Paris, and when new fashions come
with new seasons they gather them
with a critical eye for what is most
becoming.
If pockets appear, as they have dur
ing the last two seasons, they are used
as trimming very sparingly; if bows
of ribbon come into the scheme, those
which have no reason for existing arc
firmly suppressed.
Superfluous ornaments are as much
the abhorreme of" the modem woman
as it was the favorite distraction of
her not very distant ancestor.
Her silks may rustle, but alwavs
with deference to the importance of
To take dress alone: It is pleasant
to see how many walk about with
straight, wcll-set-up heels, skirts that
hang straight and look as if they had
been pressed the day before.
A hat that does not sit on the head
naturally is an exception. French peo
ple do not talk very much about their
dress; they take it for granted, and
only think about it when they want
something new or something altered.
They take it for granted that they
must dress their very best and they
dress much more to please themselves
than others.
They trust their own taste as intui
tively as some people trust their own
judgment in more serious matters.
The result is that as we see it, and at
the present moment, at anyate, it is
neat, appropriate, and charming.
From the toe of the well-made boot
to the topmost line of the well-worn
hat, the French woman of the mo
ment is, in homely phrase, "neat as a
pin."

"Just Nerves"
Py UK. KOBfcKl WfllSI-'n.
The public is generally cautious in
vielding sympathy to folks whose
complaint happens to he 'just
nerves "
So many humbugs, suffer from that
ailment. In the experience of most,
cases have occurred where money and
time and love an t trouble have, been
expended lavishly, and events have
either proved that the patient did not
deserve such care or the recovery Has
been of a kind to generate uncom
fortable suspicions.
But it does not do to be incredu
lous always. A genuine nervous
breakdown is as real a ralamitv as a
broken leg, and far more difficult to
repair
Moreover, there is a refinement of
torture in very many nervous condi
tions which puts them upon an al
together different plane from the
simple ache or even agony of the.
surgical ca-.c.
It is reasonable that such should
be the erfert of damage done to the
finest, frailest, most intricate orRan of
the body the organ, be it remember
ed, through which everv sense
achieves its work and all feelings are
experienced
Three letters have arrived in the
weekly hatch from 1 corespondents
with nerve "like sweet bells jangled,
out of tune and harsh."
R. M. "is greatly troubled with
twitching nerves which cause sleep
lessness. What is the best cure? P.
M. has had neutritis lately, which
she understands is an affection of the
nerves. What permanent cure n
I here?"
Dorothy, the second writer, is hard
ly so abrupt. She asks:
"Could you give me any advire?
I have been sulfcritig from neures
thenia for over (wo years. No doubt,
you know symptoms of such, but per
haps in my case il would be best to
mention how 1 feel. I am not par
ticularly nervous of anything, but get
very prostrate and weak and peculiar
feelings come over me of faintness
and sometimes when walking, I do
not feel steady on my feet. I might
mention my age 11 twenty-seven.
The third communication eomei
from a mere male;
"I should be grateful if you would
advise me as I have been ailing thii
two years with nerves. The first
tune ever I felt nervous was about
two years ago. I was sitting down
having lea when something came
over me 'like as if I were to faint. I
was home from work six months, I
was then too nervous to be alone. I
don't fancy that I get the right bene
fit from my food as I ought. I fe,cl
after I have been without food for a
couple of hours done up. After 1
get the meal 1 feel better, but then
I get that full tip feeling and palpi
tation of the heart and wind. I am
too shy to pass people on the road
and very excited. 1 am twenty-six
years of age."
Dorothy has the diagnosis correct
ly. All three writers have probably
neurasthenia, otherwise nervous de
bility, nervous breakdown, and "that
tired feeling."
And the unfortunate feature of all
three letters is the absence of detaili
of the work and hotnclife of the suf
ferers. No clue to what provoked
the conditions is furnished, nor any
hints likely to enable one to plan a
successful treatment. The writers
each expect, what K. M. demands,
"the best permanent cure."
Their minds ate fixed on a magic
drug which will instantly, for always,
secure "heaven's best treasures, peace
and health."
One may at ome disilAision them.
There is no cure possible in that way. 1
If a drug did seem to bring the de
sired relief, it could only be by its
temporary tonic or sedative effect up
on the distressed system, so impress
ing the mind as to create confidence,
and banish the worrying, pessimistic
spirit, which blocks every other at
tempt at treatment.
What they need to believe is that
all theft- nervous system requires to
effect its restoration to health is re
lief from whatever circumstances
have driven it into debility and a
good spell of case and quiet. For the.
worst cases -bed and a proper ruirsi;
are indispensable. The patient is cut
off from the world at large, and from
so much of his (often her) peculiar
section of if, that existenie, from bv
ing complicated, difficult, hurried, be
comes incredihly simple, with 1,0
duties, no obligations, sometime s
with hardly a muscular movement.
