That la usually an easy decision because you have many teethe in common, and each is anxious to give the other his Wish. There is no need, however, for one to sacrifice a preference to the other; you can work out some ar- rangement that means pleasure for both, Shall we make it an entertaining busy time? Shall we visit our rola- tives? Shall we take a long time in the quiet of the mountains, or by the 'sea? Those are some of the questions that bride and groom ponder as they stand at the entrance to the honey- moon. Some general considerations may help you to make a specific answer. Do not allow yourself to be urged by some interested adviser to do what you would rather not do. Of course your grandmother will want you to visit her at her country home, and "his" relatives may be anxious to show you the high lights of Toronto. The honeymoon, however, is a period of adjustment, of a growing acquain- tance between two persons who need to work out the new relationship with care, and if possible with a great deal of privacy. Moreover, it is a tkne of relaxation after the hurry and work and fuss of getting ready for a wed- ding. It is a vacation, and should not be made exacting. Then too you will be unwise to try to stretch your money so as to cover an expensive trip. If you choose to go to a hotel at a fashionable summer re- sort, when you only can afford the expense of a cottage at the beach, you will have to make sacrifices later to cover the first ill-considered expendi- ture. Moreover, to put on an appear- ance of prosperity that you must drop later makes you feel uneasy and makes it hard for you to be genuine even with each other. The honeymoon is a thing not only r , Storing Eggs.
