as constitutionally timid

by Moses. They stop short of the
atonement in Christ. They lose all. They
are like that Saxon peasant boy Zeller
tells of, who, on being asked if lie

j plied: "Oh, yes.” "What, then?’’

Now that the current of Household talk j
is whirling in a Uveiy < ddy about the j

the widower isn’t to be left out of it. !
No, indeed, he is right "in it.” Having j
been a widower for ten long years, I j
know by experience and observation how j
it is. Widowers not only make good
husbands, but they are splendid sweet
hearts. They will do anything to make
their ladyloves have a good time. A gir!
who doesn't like to have ardent love
made to her, had better steer clear of
widowers. They can do more hard court- ,
ing In a month titan young fellows can
do in m year. A widower no more minds ;
asking a g’rl (the younger the better) to !
be his wife, than he minds eating his
dinner. There is no stammering or shil- 1
lys hailing about his style of proposing. [

WHERE IS THE HARM?
I don't seo why your folks nro so down
upon flirting*. T don't see where the grent
harm is. It is just a game. Roth pnv-
ties usually understand that it is not in
earnest. I confess I enjoy it immensely.
It is so nice to be have sweet things said
to you, and somebody to escort you every
where. And then the boxes of candy,
the flowers, the theater tickets, the box
parties! Girls, you can't deny you like
these /is well as f do.
Cousin Roddy will scold at me. but I am
not conscious of harming myself or any-
i body else. I am young. I want to have

At this moment Arabella Hushed in
excitedly.
"Is Wiliie Winkie kilt?” and there was
a magic of some sort in the voice of the
little red head, as the “Nineteenth Street
Gang’* called her, for Winkie trembled a
moment »;nd then came to with a start.
“Is she all right, mil?”
But before Mrs. Sullivan could answer,
Arabella piped:
"O' imrse i am, Willie, and—and—do
you tidnk you'll be ablo to keep your en
gagement to take me to the ‘op'ry to
night?”
Willie we a dissatisfied grunt as he
sat up. He was not quite the age to con
cede all things to the gentler sex.
"Humph! Naw, I didn’t mean you! I
meant Baby Sister.” And his mother as
sured him that tiie child was safe and
sound, and brought her to the couch for
him to kiss, just as Arabella poked her
head iu again at the door and exclaimed:
“Willie Winkie has got his face clean!”
And do you know that not one of those
children would believe her until they had
seen with their own eyes? But the next
minute Winkle was off the couch and
away, for he had caught a glimpse of a
crowd of boys at a dog fight near by', and
was at the scene in a moment, to lend
his aid In any way that might prove
necessary.

AFTER EIGHT YEARS’ EXPERI
ENCE.
! I was very much surprised at Lcraa-
cita’s wish for a “consensus of House
holders’ opinions on the marriage ques
tion.” T fancied her a maiden independ
ent. “heart whole” and indifferent ta-
j ward the opposite sex. But if she con-
| templates marriage, and desires tlio ex-
i nerienee of one who has tried it for eight
I y« ars. I will say that it depends upon the
disposition of both individuals whether
“marriage is a failure’’ or not. I man
age my “better three-quarters” most ad
mirably. We never both become angry
at tiie same time. He is several years
my senior, but we treat each other as
though we wore equal in years. I flat
ter him a little once in a while. I know
tha* flattery is condemned by some,
but it uplifts and encourages many a
despondent heart, and—we women are
I not tiie only ones who like flattery.
