But tbe abuse of mothers to law in which io many newspaper writers, who try to be timart aud funny, indulge, in-dulge, is mostly vulgar and a good deal of it bae no justification. Our correspondents tuuat, however, duciae for themselves whether they are enough in love to take tbr rink. Bie: I have for several years lived a bacneloc, and beta tiling tired of tbe single elate, have determined to marry. I bave already paid my addresses to several yourjg ladies, and am at present devoled to a young lady who, while ahe does not repel my attention, at-tention, still gives me no encouragement encourage-ment to hope for a tuccesalul suit. Would you advise me to banjf on, or seek some more sure subject? J. C.G. I You might aa well try aomewbere else, since you do not Bcem to be desperately in love with her; but il you have such ill luck in your love making, you may fail again. Yet, don't d,eepairl Slit: What ie tbe correct dress for a young man to get married in, th marriage to take place in the evening? The wedding will not be lull dress, and will take place at home. A. Q. Ohirlk. Full dress is the correct thing, Mr. Charles. A black ewallow-tail coal, oiacK irouBera anu waisiuuat, wuno cravat, and white gloves. Sir: I am near 18 years of age, aod am working in a large hardware house, getting a good salary. . I love a youLg girl, and I think she loves me, but when I go to ask the questioa, she makes fun of me such aa telling me to "take a hit in the alms house," or saying I am "off" my crank." Please tell me what to do. Ed. McEtot. She ii about right, Mr. McEvoy. You are a little young to ask a girl; Buch a question. ' ' 1 Sib: I bave been married about five months, and have made the fire every morning, but am now getting sick ot it. My wife and I have agreed to let vou decide theouestion ol whose duty it 18 to get up and make the fire. T.J. H.. O, make the fire yourself. ' That-isn't That-isn't much of ft thing to do, and though it is a little dirtiitreable when the mornings are very cold, still no fond husband puts the job upon his wife. On no account quarrel over tbe matter. If she gets the breakfast, it is fair enough that you should make the fire, and not lie abed watching her do it. Sir: The other evening I called upon a young lady, but my call was interrupted by meeting a young gentleman there, be being there first. 1 remained a nan nour, anu, an me i party whom I met still remained, Ij excused myself, and left. Now, did I do right, or Bhould I have remained until be had gone? - F. M. W. You did right enough. The other fellow meant to outstay you, and if you bad not left, you together might have kept the girl up hall tbe night. A half-hour call is long enough. |
