A BUD
Mollle Nugent lay In bed iu her pretty
room at Grey Friars house a nulling the
advent of her morning lea and hot water.
Hhe had been domiciled honcatli
Duchess of Woldsbire'a hospitable roof for
n whole week now. and was thoroughly
enjoying her visit. Hut It was uot of the
amiable duchess that Mollle was at preoent
thinking. It was rather that lady's son
tbe holder of the title.
Arthur Roland Greville, fourth Duke of
Woldshire, was a handsome, good-tempered
giant of some four mid twenty years of age
and one of the most eligible parties In the
kingdom. That lie was very obviously In
love with luidy Enuyutrude Mullet—an
other member of the Grey Friars house
party—by no means diminished the interest
which Mollle took In hlui.
Indeed, It was mulnly due to the afore
mentioned Interest that she had been so
anxious to accept the duchess’ Invitation
to spend a couple of weeks at the Wold-
shires' country sent. The duke, for his
part, -cordially liked the little debutante
whom his mother had taken under her ntu
ple wing and considered her very good

At the conclusion of the meal Mollle
sauntered Into tbe rose garden with a lioolc.
It was not poor Mollie's fault if right In
front of her was a Mg hedge and that on
the other side of the hedge there was a
bench which was presently taken posses-
slue of by two people. Their voices reach-

but there was u time when you did care u

stopped abruptly, and Mollle leaned for

CHOOSING A WIFE
By DOROTHY DIX.
By DOROTHY DIX
MUST be apparent to every
thinking per»on that the amount
of domestic happiness In the world
would be enormously Increased if men
and women would decide on what kind
of life partner they preferred before
marriage, Instead of waiting until after
marriage to make up their minds on
tile subject.
Ah It Is, we conduct matrimony on
the church grab-bag plan. We shut our
eyes and clutch the first thing we get
our hands on, and the divorce courts
have to work overtime sorting out the
misfits.
The kind of wife a man ought to
marry , depends on the kind of man.
There Is no other such fallacy a* the
attraction of opposites.
What we want In marriage Is sym
pathy, not contradiction, ami the first
thing a man who contemplates matri
mony should do is to clusslfy himself.
Lot him decide whether he wants to
be a clubman himself or the husband
clubwoman: whether he yearns
for peace or argument, and whether he
wants a kitchen stove or a parlor orna
ment. There are charms and virtues In
ull, but there Is ulso a choice.
For a practical man, a business worn-
A man may choose a life partner be

should not only consider whether the
man suits her, hut whether she la going
to suit the environment In which she
will be placed. She should not marry a
clubman If sho Is going to shed tear*
over hlrf sarcastic remarks on her
housekeeping.
Hhe must not marry a clergyman un
less she has spiritual grace enough to
wear last year's bonnets, because the
congregation disapproves of frivolity
In other people.
Hhe should never marry a vain man
unless her flattery Is of such an Intox
icating brand It will make every other
woman’s seem like stale beer beside
champagne frappe.
Hhe should not marry an adored only
son unless she Is prepared to battle
with selfishness; or a brother with
many sisters unless she has made up
her mind to wait on him hand and foot.
Of course, women don’t often con
sider these points. They marry at ran

run things on a, cash basis. 8he will
have meals on schedule time, and will
not he hoodwinked by tradespeople.
She has worked with men ami knows
their tricks and manners, and will not
he deceived by fairy stories about lodge
meetings.
She Is not the wife for a conceited
man, because she Is liked to forming
her own opinions, nor IK she the wife
for o stingy man, because she Is accus
tomed to her own pocket book and will
Inevitably demand a fair division of the
family finances.
Not without- reason have widows
been considered peculiarly desirable as
wives. A man’s Judgment always backs
his fancy when he chooses one for a
Ife.
A young girl Is a conundrum. A
widow is the answer.
A girl of 18 may be anything—a bag
or a load of hay—at 40. The widow
has arrived. She Is what she Is. She
has also had experience of men and
doesn’t ask the Impossible. In a word,
she has the advantage of the profes
sional over the amateur. Widows are
preferred risks In matrimonial bureau.
For the worn and blase clubman, who
is marrying for a home, there is noth
ing equal to the spinster who has aban
doned hope and then sees matrimony
dawn on her horizon like a port to a
shipwrecked mariner.
8he Is the true husband spoiler. She
Is the woman who simply glories In
making herself a doormat for a man to
walk over.
A woman’s choice of a life partner Is
ore difficult than a man’s, because
she d«»es not do the choosing.
Matrimony for her Is a kind of con
fidence game, in which she Is Invited
to take a hand by some agreeable
stranger with whom she meets up on
the Journey of life, and the wonder Is
not that she loses so often, but that
she wins at all.
Women are poor gamblers, because
they always piny their own hand with
out reference to anybody rise’s. That
Is unv they play matrimony. They
say, ”1 love,” and forget It Isn’t a sim
ple game where they tan take their
partner's best and go It alona.
In finding out what you want before
you get something else. Love should
wear spectacles before marriage and
blinders afterward.
