MATRIMONIAL MIXTURES,

An interesting incideat of corapiicated matrimooial lite hae come to light, accord ing to ihe St. James Budget, Two years ago European society in the egst was sur- priced to learn that a member of Ceylon Civi) Service, Mr. C.J. R. Le Mesurier, had embraced Mohammedani-m, and mar ried » young Englishwoman of good family although be already had a wife. The government of Ceylon took @ seriou: View ot Mr. Le Mesurier’s conduct, acd eventually deprived him of his position ii the public service. The real Mra. Le.

Christmas is coming verv near, And the little girls and boys,

Are thinking of their presents ‘Of the pretty dolls aod toys

And the tempting Christma diuner, Not the leaat of all their joys.

They talk about old Santa Claus, And look so wondrous wise,

One can see that they are happy, By the gladness in their eyes,

And tuoey teem to be all realy, For some welcome, new, surprise.

The shop windows look so beautiful (As Christmas cometh nigh)

Such an army of tempting goods, We do not wonder why

The fair sex look ro lovingly At them as they go by.

When the ladies go out shoping they For the fancy tables nake

And the things are all eo pretty there They don’t know which to take

And they try the poor clerk’s patience Till Ler beart 1s like to break.

The country folks will bring to town Ducks, geese and turkeys, too, On Christmas market morning, And there will be not a few. They’ll ask more for them tban they are worth. That’s just what they will do.

Bat we city folks will buy them, Though we pay ter every bone.

We must have a goore for Coristiwas, Or aturkey +i! our own;

And our tables will be loaded Until they almost groan.

Let us al] new with thankful hearts, The Caristmas feast prepare,

(Bid all our selfishness depart) And give the poor a share,

Of our good things that they may forget Their poverty and care.

Leng Vacation,

M. D’Artout, who filled more than one important post under the French govern- ment, Was a man of easy going disposi- tion, which was taken advantage of by those subordinate to him. He never pun- ished and rarely reproved, and the result was a lax discipline, notwithstanding the energy which he infused into bis own de- partment through the exercise of his own influence and ability

in “La Vie a Paris,’’ Villemot relates that when M. D Artout was at the head of the ministry of the interior there was a clerk in the bureau who could write a re- markable hand with as remarkable speed, and the minister always kept him in his own offices as private secretary

One day the minister missed his secre- tary and inquired where he was.

“He is not here today His father is dead.”

D' Artout bowed and said nothing A month afterward the minister again ca}led up the chief and asked him the same ques- tion

“He is not here, monsieur,’ was the anz‘yer, “for his father is dead.”

The minister bowed again in silence, but went away with a puzzled expression in his eyes) Three weeks later the same thing happened once more. Upon receiv- ing the same answer, D’Artout spoke up rather sharply

“What! Said he “Is he going to stay away from the office all the while his fa- ther is dead?”

A Mismanaged Compliment.

“I consider it an insult,” said Mise Passeigh.

YOUNG MARRIED PEOPLE.

It Is a Sad Mistake For Them to Begin Life In a Boarding House.

Edward W. Bok, editor of The Ladies Howe Journal, always a stanch and up- compromising advocate of the home, as- sorts that a home, however bumble, is a million times better place for young mar- ried couples to live than is the most lux- urious hotel or best boarding house in the land. “It is always a sad thing,” he says, “when a young married couple begin life in a boarding house or hotel; sad because selves. The furniture around them is not their own with her all the trifles she chooses may add a touch of her own here and an- other touch there. But the things in the room are not theirs, and sooner or later she realizes it

‘During the day the wife is alone. No duties call her. Nothing is there in her life to exercise her ingenuity or develop her: womanly talents. She cannot pre- pare any little pleasure for her young hus- band, for things are prepared for her. When her husband leaves her for his office, she turns back into the reom and wonders what she can do during the day; how she will employ herself, where she will go. There is nothing in her room to appeal to her to stay there. No home duties con- front her So she goes out and shops per- haps for awhile; runs around to her moth- er’s; calls upon some friends; goes back to her room to practice a little, if she is musical and has a piano, or, if she is fond of books, she reads ‘There is nothing in her life—two-thirds of herself lies dor- mant She is glad when the time comes for her husband to come home; glad te feel that she haus some one to whom she can talk; glad of company <And_ be? What can he do to express himself to bis young wifey Nothing around him is his Everything is by lease his for a time, for so much money And after he is through paying for it he leaves it behind ‘The end is the sume as the beginning That is why boarding house or hotel life is so in- jyurious to young married people. It mukes them practically homeless. ’’
