THE PERILOUS YEARS.

Justice Ford of New York was disuss, ng his famous dictum:* “In my opinion it takes about five years for the ordi. ary couple to learn to overlook each other’s faults,” He said: ‘After five years of\ marriage a spirit of gentleness and loving kindness manifests itself. But in the first “two- or three years a. spirit of the bitterest disillusion prevails. “This bitter spirit was well illustrated in a dialogue wherein a young wife sobbed, ‘And you used to say tbat you could hear the rustle oi angels’ wings whenever I drew near you! ’ “ ‘But L’ve found out now,’ the husband sneered, ‘that the sound was only the creaking of your broken corset bones.’ ”

“There goes Wobbs. He had some fixed opinions until he married that suffrage leader.” " “What became of his opinions then?” “She fixed them.”

HIS FATE.
