WOMAN’S WORLD. There U no subject, perhaps, upon which more gratuitous advice has been uttered than upon the best way of con serving domestic peace and happiness Volumes, says the New Orleans Picayune, have been written on the subject, but the trouble has been that these amiable guides to married felicity, who c.,f.e with such authority, were merely theorists. The ex perienced have frankly sdmltted their In ability to pilot others through the pltfrills of married life, so that when we hear a man telling Juat exactly how he would manage a shrewish woman, or a woman laying down the law about how a man ought to be treated who stays out o'nights, ws know nt once that we are listening to the sapient utterances of an old bachelor, or an old maid, who have never tried put ting their views Into operation. "The proof of the pudding." says an old proverb, "is In the eating." and In the same way a rule of conduct that has worked triumphantly and successfully for fifty-seven yeers Is worthy of Ihe serious t oiislderstlon of every husband end wife In Ihe land. Such a one Is furnished by Chicago man, who lasi week celebrated the fifty-seventh anniversary of his mar riage, and who declared that In all that time he and his wife had lived In perfect harmony and hnpptness without one spat or dlsagri cment to msr the placid surface of their domestic bllst. This happy state of affairs he attributed to undevlatlugly following these rules: "Don’t be obstinate; compromise" "Make your wife think whatever Is yours Is hero." "Upend your money and have a good time while It lasts." "When Ihe money Is gone don't regret It. Think of Ihe happiness It brought you,'* "Dot everything be mutual." "Think your wife Ihe best woman In Che world, she will think you the best man " “ Do Ihe whole, most women will think that life with a men who would live up to these rules would be a picnic. "lion'i be obstinate: compromise." Homebody In a family Is always hound to give up and heretofore thnt somebody has almo-t always been the woman. Nothing on earth Is more Irritating than a mulish man. one who sticks to a thing whether it Is right or wrong, Just because he said 11. How delightful It would i~ *o even give in to a man who wasn't arbitrary, anil who was always ready to meet you half way and compromise. "Make your wife think wvhatever la yours Is hers." That would mean the family purse No haggling over every cent, no going like a beggar to n man like that for car fore, and wash money, and every single soli tary Item of expense. The man who makes his wife a full partner In his poekethook has come pretly near to solv ing the problem of how to be happy, though married, for two |>eople. "Upend your money and hove n rood time while It last- " In reason, of course. A good wife never desires to be extrava gant. hut surelv a good many flowers would blossom along the way of the wo man whose husband thought to give her Hi tie- treats, and remembered that because i woman was married It didn'l make her like a box of candy, or a good play, one whit less than when she was a girl and he used to lake her out. "When the money Is gone don’t regret Remember the happiness It brought you." He never twined his wife on her bad trades, or threw up to her the bargains she bought la>e everything be mutual.’' That man must mean that a man shall share his wife’s sorrows and Joys as she does his. Thai he mustn’t dump all hts worries on the family hearthstone ami then wonder why she can’t manage her own affairs without bothering him when she com plains of the cook "He must think her the best woman In Mu world." Ah. wise ■ man* In that lies all the law and the prophets. He mustn't wonder why she *in t keep house like Mrs Bmlth. and manage the children like Mrs Rrown. and liens gay and pretty ss little Mrs Fllrtlv. If be can only make us think that we are first and *et tn his heart, then we’ll for give him nil the rest ami Ihlnk ourselves blessed among women. "What a curious thing coincidences are'" exclaimed a fashionable worn in re cently. :o a New York Tribune welter. • They ilo seem nlmoet uncanny some times. nn If certain conditions In sort of o-cult way brought about ceristr. re sults—a kind of mind over matter Influ ence that Is Inexplicable For Instance, a very old thing happened to me recently. Several years ago. after a very large gar den party at our place, one of *he servants brought me an odd keeking little hroo'h. a carved nmcthvwl act In quaint enamel. The tnlrinaic value of the pin was not great, but It was exceedingly pretty, and I knew the- owner would regret the lose After a week hod elapeed and no Inquiries bad been mode I advertised Ihe lost orna ment for several days, and also asked ev ery one I saw If he or she -ould Identify It and help me to find the owner. All In vain, however; no claimant appeared, and I laid nway the pretty device In my Jewel box and forgot all nliout 11. except from time to time when I happened Jo see It among my things. Several time* l was tempted to wear II when II would have matched some costume In color, but a- I felt I had no right to It. I always refrain #d from doing so. until one evening not long ago. when I was going to a .tinner tn a mauve satin gown. I found I nee led a pin toltolij some lace In position. "Why does not madam take this?" suggested my m.iii handing me the pin from the tray that Isy up n the dressing table, r eared •Ith Ihe effect. 1 said lo myself, ’Aft*r all why not? Ii Is really mine now after all this time, and I certainly did all 1 could to And, the owner. Nevertheless. I fell a vague sense of discomfort In thus appro priating a treasure trove, which was not lessened by selng a strange woman who sal opposite me gaxlng Intently across the talce at my bodice. I fell Instantly a sit.mg conviction that something woul-l turn up about the pin—a feeling that was confirmed when. Immediately after dinner, my hostess brought up the stranger whom she Introduced to me as the Princess of , a compatriot of onrs. who had married a Russian, and had returned home for the llrst time after her marriage. " ’I am going lo ask a very Impertinent question. 1 she lagan frankly. ’Would you mind telling me how you became the loasessor of lhat pin?’ I could not help feeling <mlmrraesed under the circum stances. but answered with equal frank ness, and explained how l had come l wear It that evening. w " ’ll was Intended that I should recover It.’* said the Princess, solemnly, who 1 irncd afterwards wss a theosopblat ’lt '(longed lo my mother, and w*i* lost by t n younger -Diet, who probably wore It h* 'our fete ctmmprtre.’ This I found afterwards was actually 1 e ca. although, of course, at the lime I did mit require any proof of Ihe Prln- II so* claim, end gladly surrendered to her ’ e gem. which certainly appeared lo l ivr found ll* owner for It-ed. for why * ould I have worn It after all those years •a the one occasion when ll could be > Dimed?"
