We CUTTING TRAIL. won't have it" A satiric smile touched the face of WISDOM AFTER THE WEDDING. Did you ever think how different would be the questions that a man and woman would propound to each other After marriage from the ones they submitted to each other before marriage? e Before marriage each asks .the other: "Are you sure that. you love me eternally and unalterably? Will you swear that you never loved be- fore? Will you love me when I' am old? , Are you certain I am your ideal and your realization of love's young dream? Is it really true that you could not live without me? Will you swear never to marry again if I die?" Every man and woman with ordi- nary intelligence knows that no hu- man being can prophesy as to the vagaries of his or her heart, or fore- tell how long any love is going to last. That depends on circumstances, and whether the other party continues to exercise the same fascination, and keeps himself or herself lovable, We have all seen too many couples who Kirby s efforts to find James Gun-` Cunningham without warming it. were mad about each other one year Ingham after dinner were not sue- "That active imagination of yours and crud with each other the next. cessful.

Looking back from the pinnacle of wisdom which a woman reaches after a few months of matrimony, she wish- es that she had concerned herself more about the health of the man she was going to marry instead of in- quiring so much into the state of his heart. If she had it to do over again she would not ask him so much about whether he really loved her, as she an end, would about what sort of a digestion Kirby cut short preliminaries.

Nor would she worry herself try- ing to find out whether her husband would marry again if she should die. She would be more interested in at- tempting to ascertain how he was go- ing to treat her while she was alive. If she had it to do over again she would not make the man she was go- ing to marry perjure himself about loving her for ever and ever. She would ask him if he was going to be tender to her. If he was going to be kind. If he was going to be sympa- thetic. If he was going to do some- thing to make her happy, or if he was going to be one of the men who seem to think that just being married to him is picnic enough for any woman, and that she should never expect a compliment or want to go to any place of amusement, or look for a busy man to show her any attention. Men, likewise, after marriage, would not bother so much with the state of a girl's heart as they would with her head, and health, and dispo- sition. They wouldn't be so anxious to know whether a woman would promise to love them for ever as they "Referring to Jack's expedition, I presume." "You don't deny it, then."

"Selfishness is the latest name for it, I believe," said Amy Ferguson mis- chievously. "That's the 'most unkindest cut of all,'" objected Rhoda. "Bashful peo- ple are never selfish. They are quiet and retiring and—bashful!" "If you're bashful, you are think- ing about yourself—what to do with your feet, and what to say to that dreadful young man in the corner. If you are constantly thinking about yourself, you are selfish. So there you are!" "How can I help thinking about my feet when they always come down in the wrong place? I'm so bashful it makes me fairly sick to go anywhere, but I'm not selfish. Were you ever bashful?" Rhoda continued, question- ingly. - "1 was—and am.

It was the first time I had ever thought of how my hostess might feel. I could see how uncomfortable it would make her if I sat there speechless—a regular jay -killer at her table. So I said to myself, °I can at least look happy and interested.' 'Please talk and act as if you were having a delightful time,' I begged my partner. 'I never know what to say, but I'm willing to listen—an I'm so sorry for my hostess!' That made him laugh, and it wasn't a bit. hard after that.
