appreciates each according to its expensiveness. A HUSBAND can always find fault with his wife, but, then, even archangels could pick flaws in one another if they had to drink coffee at the same table every morning. [Illustration] MATRIMONY is, like the weather, mighty uncertain, and the happiest people are those who are neither looking for storms nor banking on sunshine, but are just willing to go along sensibly and take what comes. IT MAY mean nothing, but it's very mortifying to a woman when she takes her husband's dog for a walk and he tries to go into every corner saloon.

SOME men feel that the only thing they owe the woman who marries them is a grudge. BLUE BEARD isn't the only bridegroom who ever went to the altar with a closet full of dead loves on his conscience. [Illustration] IT isn't what a man can see through the holes in a peek-a-boo waist that makes the garment attractive, but what he tries to see and can't. A MAN who would turn up his nose at an ov
