SHE TALKS OF MATRIMONY GOSSIP.

Marriage's Varied Routine—Men Shatter the Command men a, Women Do Worse— Dab Believes In MarrlRge "Till Death Do r« Part,'' Not as a Week's Visiting.

tOopyrlght, 1895,]

The getting married continues. And one is forjed to wonder whether the desirability of mating these two people who look so radiantly happy has been thought very much about. I am a believer in marriage. I regard marriage as the cornerstone that is chipped and marred in a most awful way. Marriage, as it presents itself to the looker-on, represents a girl in white satin and orange blossoms, a troop of bridesmaids, a procession of ushers and a shower of rice. And then, too often, comes a rapturous six months of love-making, a year of misunderstanding and disappointment, and then a stolid and Bombre settling down and accepting the inevitable. Sometimes making the best of it, some times not. Marriage, as it should be, ought to have a preface in whioh two people try to find out whether they have tastes In common, whether they are sympathetic, whether, if one lost his temper the other oould control hers, and whether they will not grow weary, horribly, mournfully, desperately weary of seeing each other three hundred and sixty five times a year aoross the dinner table. DRIFTING AWAY OF THE BARK "HUSBAND."

What have they a right to expect in marriage? Giving the precedence to the lady, I think that she has a right to expect all the'devotion that a lover could give all the consideration that a brother oonld offer, and then a certain amount of parental.care. A man has the right $q claim io marriage aU tbe joys of friendship and much ttiOf©. Many times he £ets an impulsive affection and very little sympathy. Undoubtedly, men do shatter tbe commandments, but a woman can commit sins that are worse. She can be aggravating and wearisome beyond expression, and nine times out of ten her marriage is a failure because she is too little a wife and too much a mother. I don't mean by this that any woman has the right to shirk the pains, or joys, of motherhood, but, too often, because of the love for the babies, the husband is regarded merely as a neoes 1 sary evil. Women are creatures of habit, and once they are on the sea of thoughtlessness, that dangerous sea, they find, before they know it, that their lit tie bark marked "Husband" has drifted away and cannot be drawn back.

A very clever somebody once said that when passion and habit lie long in company, it is only slowly, but it is surely, that habit awakens to find its companion gone. Now, there Is the woman, the general woman, who says, in a half wearied, half

Boornful

tone, "Oh, when I

was a young girl I expected everything in married life!" Yery little, my friend, comes from expectation. There* is an immense amount of proof in that old French proverb, "All things come to him who knoweth how to wait." People remember the first, but forget the last of it, which is the important part. It is the knowing how. It doesn't mean sitting with your hands folded and your lips parted, waiting indifferently for the jjipe, red cherries to f*l| into yoqr mouth, li means selecting the rlghtplace, watching the cherry until it is ready to fall and then oatohing it so that it is not bruised in the tumble. The trouble in marriage is, the average woman sees too muoh of her husband, and then she doesn't have a sufficient number of outside interests to amuse him with. She

For all functional derangements, displacements, ulceration, inflammation, ard the catarrhal drain from the lining membranes of the special internal organs of women, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription reaches the origin of the trouble, and corrects it.

Mrs. MARY CRIM, of Fmnk/^rl. Fra*khH Co., fit., writes: "A few years ago I took cold, which resulted in female trouble, ami affcclcd my whole system. About a mSar 5js. I took chills, had one or two a month weaken-

I^JVJS VKRSBS HXL'KNSB,

One of the greatest statesmen that ever lived, I mean Benjamin Disraeli, had the most perfect married life. He said that a peridot marriage and a perfect friend ship were synonymous. It is told of him that he never pretended to be desperately In love with his wife at tbe be ginning, but he bad a great affeotion for her they were each interested in the same things, so that there were always subjects for conversation, and, as the years went by, the- affeotion grew to be love, making each of these two all in aU to the other. There is nothing to me in the history of this great man so interesting as the story of love that lasted, even after death. Bo 1 think that there should be a marriage without iovef No, but 1 think there are other things, too. Romeo and Juliet may have found love suffl cient, but in those days it was not de manded that a house in Yerona should have all the modern improvements real lace was not expensive, dressmakers' prices were lower, and Romeo didn't need to use the best brandy, nor did he realize the cost of the finest olgar. It sounds very well to say that poverty is glorious and elevating—I don't believe it. Nobody likes it and nobody wants it. And it is quite possible to be rich and good. Selfish? Well, this is the age of selfishness.

By the bye, over our strawberries and tea the other afternoon, the question of what constituted a fine figure oame up. it is an old standby, you know. There were two women and a man, not to mention a dog. He was a polite puppy, and only ate sugar, not strawberries. One of the women said: "What a lovely figure Mrs. Yere de Yere is."

The man made himself heard by saying, "Do you know, I think you area bit of a donkey? The idea of oalling that a beautiful figure, whioh displays a bust nearly up to the edge of the ohin, a waist measuring nineteeu inches, hips forgotten and a very prominent line at the stomaoh, with every defect brought out by a walk that is neither a hop. a skip, nor a jump.

BEATTTIFUII! WHY, IT IS HIDEOUS I am alwajsgiad to know anything, so I said, "Tell us what a beautiful figure is?"

As a man does, when he is going to say something he th^pks clever, this one arose from his comfortable chair, and allowed the mirror to see that he was 6 feet 2, bad a lovely complexion, and the figure of an athlete. Ajfter we had all realized this, heannounced, "Abeautiful figure must, before everything else, be neither too large, nor to small. That woman who loses a charm every time she undoes a pin is out of the race, and so is that woman who, with the undoing of every button, or the unlacing of every string, grows floppy. The beautiful figure has a throat that is a handsome white column for the small head, has white and firm shoulders, with not a bone showing in the neck and without dimples. Dimples are prettiness, but not beauty. The arms must be well shaped, neither fat nor musoular looking, but white, firm to the touch and quite as cool as 'Greenland's ioy mountain.' The bust, and by the bye, as a rule American women do not have beautiful busts, should be small, hard, white and not too high. Fat is greatly to be dreaded here. The hips should be large and the line from the hips to the knee and from the knee to the ankle should aohieve the same curve as does Hogarth's line of beauty. The instep gawt be high, and in standing the perfect figure should be able to achieve what is done by the finest model in a French studio that is, have a silver piece thrown at her which, lodging between the knees, remains there, while the ankles, because of their smallness, permit another coin to pass between them and hit the wall behind her. English women, when thoy are young, are apt to be most beautiful above the waist, but stringy and flat below it. VENUS ADMIRES THE AMERICAN BEAUTY.

lThe

The young girl, or wo­

man, often grows pale, wrinkled and thin, cats little, everything wearies her, she complains of herself as aching and sore and as sleeping poorly. Often she is^roubled with backache, or a tender spine, with a bcanngdown weight in the abdomen, or at periods she may be irregular,

or

suffer extreme pain

from functional derangements. Dr. Pierce, chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,of Buffalo, N. Y., in his long and active experience, met many cases of this kind, for which he used a prescription wliicli was found to cure such difficulties permanently ninetyeight per cent, of all cases. Having proven so successful. Dr. Pierce put his Favorite Prescription on the market, and it is to-day sold more largely than any other medicine for the ills of woman.

American woman has the hand­

somest {hips in the world, and if an English woman could be cut off at the waist line and fastened on to the lower part o! an American, Yenus herself would sit upon her wave and applaud the beautiful figure that would be the result."

Then be sat down. One of the women Bald: "The trouble is that, while the average woman wants to know how to have a beautiful bust, she isn't willing to take the trouble. Now, here is a recipe given by a Southern mammy, and used by her on tbe girl children of her mistress from the time tbey were twelve years old. Every night before she went to bed the old mammy bathed the child's ¥ust"with very warm water, which, of course, bad the effect of opening the pores of the skin and making it receptive. Then she dried it very gently with a soft towel—by the bye, harsh towfels were never meant for women, only for athletes and dogs. After this she put a little olive oil in tbe palm of her band and rubbed each side spherically. Then the girl 6hild was allowed to go to bed and to sleep. The next morning, when she got np, the bust was again washed in warm water, and then given a spray with cold, wbicb was to make it firm. This treatment is simple but sure. How many people remember that the most beautiful pictures of the nnde invariably show small basts Banner's lovely modest women wonld lose their modesty if their bnsts were not small and rather low. Swinburne, Dante, Rosetti, indeed, all of tbe great poets, bare written of beauU'ol *n as'small breasted, lithe, with hip* i»» flowing carves.' However, yoa ui* have tbe most beaaUfal figure in tbe

LOCOMOTION QW THB VARIOUS CITIES' WO

MEN,

"Have yott ever noticed in your travels how tbe women of the different cities walk? The New York woman takes three stately steps and two frivolous ones. She of Philadelphia mlnoea a little, as if she were afraid she would be too fast, and that would be 'so unpleasant,' The St. Louis girl is beautifully and attractively latsy. She walks in a dreamy sort of a way, and yet has the Frenchwoman's art oforossinga muddy street, without soiling her shoes. In Richmond, when the women do walk, they walk well, but they drive oftenest. A New Orleans woman walks like a god ess. She treads the earth as if she were doing it a favor, and yet as if she owned it. In Washington they don't walk, they trot. In Boston there is a positive step that means getting there, but its firmness and certainty are to be com mended. In Chioago they don walk, they trot, they pranoe, they jump Indeed, their means of locomotion art* as queer as*their shoes, and they are things calculated to make any woman sad and sorry."

This ended the conversation, and we returned to the strawberries, complacently mashing them with a fork, and makiBg them into a dainty dish with whipped cream and sugar. Then the woman who didn't eat them had ber say. She was inclined "to ask questions. She said, "When a woman hates another and that other is a little woman, whv does she

.........

ALWAYS CJALL HER A SNIP,

and speak of herclbthes as duds? When she is a big woman, why doeis she always oall her a pole and describe her olothes as coverings? Why is it that when a woman hates a woman she is yet willing to show her how to arrange her back hair in the latest fashion? Why is it that when a woman hates a woman she can think of more mean things to say to her than she ever oan to anything in trousers? Of course, I wonld like to have these questions answered, but that is impossible. But what would men do without womeu? There would be nobody to blame for extravagance. There would be nobody to buy candies and ice cream for. There would be nobody to feel an interest in them and nobody to hug or kiss. It is awful funny to see a man kiss another man. I regard women highly. If a man, after saying all sorts of nice things to a woman, doesn't*ask her to marry him, a woman doesn't take to drink, or throw up ber situation and go to Europe. Ob, no. If she can't get Dick she takes Harry, and by«doing thiB makes Diok feel that he has been left in the cold. And then, women say funny things, too. Why a friend of mine oallsher new oook Japan. Why? Because she is so hard on ch^na. Women make the little fun of life. They are not great humorists, but tbey are unconsciously witty, and are endowed with more patience and,., loving kindness than anybody else. Fancy a man enduring from a woman what a Woman has to endure from him. He simply wouldn't, and I don't know but what she is a bit of a fool to do it."

Here ended her opinions, and the man,' who had been looking in the enoyclo-* pedia, told us that a Chinaman can get a divorce from his wife if her mother-in law don't like ber, if she talks coo muoh, if she has a nasty temper, or if she is inclined to be jealous. While in Siberia, if a man feels a little ugly, he can grab a woman's cap and veil off, andlo! and behold! she is a divorced woman! All through the East no man can divorce tbe woman who is the mother of his son. They don't consider daughters, but then, of ceurse, they are poor, ignorant people, who were civilized before we weie discovered, and who drifted back to being barbarous again. They say that is tbe way with nations, that they kwing to and fro.

BAB FORGETS HER VIEWS.

I should think a woman ought to be permitted to divorce a man who is illtempered, or stingy, or tiresome. Now, what did I say that for, wben I don't be lieve in divorce at all? When I believe that only death can dissolve tbe marriage vow, and for that reason I think it ongbt not to be rushed into as if it were nothing more than a week's visiting, Marriage is the ideal life for both meu and women, and just an soon as its solemnity ceases to be recognised, just so soon will men cease to respect women, and just so soon will woman's place in life become a very hard one. A woman, my friend, wants all the love and sympathy and tenderness that can be given to ber, and she should have it, and have it from ber husband. It is sweeter from him than from anybody else, and I do honestly think that that woman who has never been a wife, baa liv after all, a one sided life, lacking all ti*t lsbe*t. BAB.

Two Japanese Women.

That Is a sweofc and valuable leaven which the two young Japanese women justs now leaving the Chioago Baptist hospital, after the completion of their oonree ns trained nnrsea, have east about them. One of them was asked by the superintendent one day how she always managed to he so happy, and she Baid that the children in Japan were taught that, no matter what happened, they should always appear cheerful and not wake others wretched.

These young women will return in July to their home and expect to open a hospital in Tokyo, One of them, Miss Sakaki, is the daughter of a member of the Japanese parliament, a very wealthy man, and the other, Miss Nagano, is tho only child oi a rich Japanese merchant, They have been in America nearly three years, pursuing a thorough oonrse in the profession whioh they have adopted.

A Dainty Summer Costume. The material of the gown is summer silk showing a bine satin stripe upon black. The skirt is made with tho usual flare, and while it is stiffened and stands out well still it does not appear, as the skirts that are ovorstiffened, to stand out beyond tho underskirts. The bodice 13 slightly fulled in the back and draped aoross the front, writes Isabel A. Mallon in The Ladies' Home Journal. A square yoke of blue satin, like the. stripe, is overlaid with coarse black lace, and the collar is of the black lace also, with two tiny rosettes in blue ribbon, one at each side of the center of the front. The sleeves are large and BO lined that they stand out well, shaping into cuffs of blue satin overlaid with black lace. The belt is of broad blue satin ribbon folded about the waist, and falling in two long ends at the back, so that its width and beauty are seen.

HE DECEIVED THE PEOPLE

And Is In the Penitentiary for a Tear, [-FVom the Lowell Morning Citizen.] At Atlantio, Iowa, on May 7, G. M. Ailor, alias "Orlp." Ail or, was oonvicted of deceiving tbe people by selling a worth less compound, whioh be represented to be Hood's Sarsaparilla, and was sentenced by Judge Macy to one year at hard labor in the lowaState Penitentiary. Ailor's methods were those ofatraveling fakir. He has been traveling through Missouri, Nebraska and Iowa, making stands of a day or more in each town, and representing himself as an agent under salary from C. I. Hood & Co., and selling his concoction at one duller or fifty cents per bottle, giving with each sale variqus other worthless articles. Citizens of Griswold, Iowa, became suspioious and ascertaining from a druggist that Ailor's compound was not Hood's Sarsaparilla, but merely colored water, had him arrested. Three indictments were found against him, the jury convicted him after only thirty minutes deliberation, and he was sentenced as above. This incident suggests the wisdom of purchasing medicines only of reputable dealers whom you know. Hood's Sarsaparilla is never sold by peddlers, and such offering it should be at once reported to the authorities, or to C. I. Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass.

JVTme. Rqjane's Veil.

It is all very well to talk of the unfailing chic of the Parisienne, but I think the purple veil Mine. Rejane wore in the street here recently was siqxply hideous. The worst of it is that several women have already adopted it and are going about looking as if they were in the last stages erf jaundice because of it, all the while flattering themselves that they are being very French and extremely fashionable. There is one fashion, however, which Mriie. Rejane, in common with the rest of her country "Women, possesses which ought to be adopted by every American woman. It is the habit of wearing properly cared for boots and irreproachable skirt bindings. An American dresses from the head down, the Parisienne from the foot up.—Washington Post

Rheumatism is primarily caused by acidity of the blood, Hood's Sarsaparilla purifies tbe blood and tones up the whole system.

There was a row recently in the German imperial nurseiy, Frederich Wilhelm insisting on flogging bis brothers because he woa Crown Prince. Tn the middle of it Kaiser Wilhelm appeared, and, picking up his successor, remarked: "Now that you have shown your brothers who is Crown Prince, I will show you who 1B Emperor." He used a birch rod.

For Thin Children!-

Children are always thin and pale when they do not assimilate enough fat. This seems strange, perhaps,, but it is literally true. Unless there is a healthy as-, similation of fat food the blood becomes depleted, tissues waste away, vitality becomes low and the body languishes for the need of proper nourishment,

Scott's Emulsion

is useful to children, especially in two ways. It is Codliver Oil emulsionized, thus being easily assimilated and rendered palatable, with the Hypophosphites of Lime and Soda added to tone up the nervous system and nourish the bones. This combination of these potent, nutrients is just what thin children need to give them llesh, color and vitality. Almost all children like it.*.
