I hold fast to the private maxim that hardly anything Is unendurable If \pnc sots up that all mankind could not give one a quite worthy mate. But there is another alleviation; under­ standing not only that one is married to somebody else, but also that some­ body else is married to oneself’and that it is quite ns hard for the other party. There are many excellent things to be done. Here are a few: Do not open each other’s letters. (For otic reason, you might not like the contents.) And try not to look liberal if you don’t even glance a t the address or the postmark. Vary your pursuits, your conversa­ tion and your clothes. If required vary your hair. If you absolutely muBt be sincere let it be in private. (Especially for Wives.) Find out on the honeymoon whether crying or swearing is the more effective. • g.nce a dny say to a wife, “I love you." To a husband, “How strong you are!” If the latter remark is ridicu­ lous any, “How clever you are!" tor everybody believes that. Forgive your partner seventy times seven. Then burn the ledger.—W, L. George in Atlantic Monthly. . ' Qwattsd Hit Egotism. An English lady was taken in to supper a t a private party by a young Scotchman who had a high estimate of his own mental capacity^ The talk drifted to the subject of the Scot abroad. “I ’ve often heard,” said the .lady, “that Scotsmen who lqhve their coun­ try are, generally speaking, much clev­ erer than those who stay a t home." “Oh, yes,” replied the Scot, with an attempt a t w it “You see, the reason Is that a t every outlet there are persons stationed who examine all who pass, So that for the honor of the country no one is allowed to leave Who is not elite to uphold Ids own end his country's dlgrUty." “Oh, then," she said, with a bright smile, "you Were smuggled, were yoat" —Exchange, .
