Hints for Love Making.

First catch your lover. r Hold him while you have him. Don’t let go of him to catch every new one that comes along. Try to get pretty well acquainted with him before you take him for life. Unless you intend to support him, find out whether he earns enough to support you. Don’t make up your mind that he is an angel Don’t palm yourself off on him for one either. Don’t let him spend his salary on you; that right should be reserved till after marriage. If you have conscientious scruples against marrying a man with a mother, say so in time, that he may get rid )f her to oblige you, or get rid of you to oblige her, as he thinks best If you object to secret societies md tobacco, it is better to come out with your objections now than to reserve tlem for curtain lectures hereafter. If your adorer happens to fancy a certain shade of hair, don’t color oi bleach to oblige him. Remember your hair belongs to you, and he doesn’t Be very sure it is a man you B'e in love with, and not the clothes he weirs. Fortune and fashion are both so fckle that it is foolish to take a stylish suflt for better or worse. j If you intend to keep three servants after marriage, settle the matter beforehand. The man who is making love to you may expect you to do your own washing. Don’t try to hurry up a p oposal by carrying on a flirtation with tome other fellow. Different men are nude of different material, and the oht you want may go off in a fit of jealousy and forget to come back. f If you have a love letter te write don’t copy it out of a “Letter Writer.” If your young man ever happened ts consult the same volume, he would knov your sentiments were borrowed. Don’t marry a man to oblge any third person in existence. It is four right to suit yourself in the matter. But remember at the same time that love is blind, and a little friendly advice from one whose advice is worth haviag may insure a life time of happiness, prevent one of misery. In love affairs always keep your eyes wide open, so that when- the right man comes along you may see him. When you do see him you will recognize him and the recognition will be mutual. If you have no fault to find with him personally, financially, conscientiously, socially, morally, politically, religiously, or any other way, he is probably perfect enough to suit you, and you can afiord Believe him; Hope in him; Love him; Marry him!
