Of course a duko is a duke; but, then, there is no reason why ho shouldnt be treated wiih a certain amount of reflect To do this it Is not necessary to re- spect him too much. Treat him with as much respect as you think be will stand, but do not lavish it upon him. If he leaves his boots in front of bla door at night, do nut feel that it ii Incumbent upon you to get up at six o'clock to shine them. Wait until seven, anyway. He will never know the difference. Let him be alone with your daughter ns much as be likes. If ho resents this, tell him he can get even later. This might under some circumstances seem too candid; but it Is better to meet him in a frank and open hearted manner. At night, before tho duko goes to bed, sneak into his room and turn oa all the steam. Being an Englishman, he may Jxd understand this sudden warmth on your part, but you can explain to him the next morning when lie fans himself down to the breakfast table, that its only a foretaste of what he may expect later. Not being able to see a Joke, be will probably think that you mean to pay all bis expenses to Palm Beach, which will restore him to his good humor. When you have a duke on hand, do not talk too much about your ancestors, or rub it in about your family. It might make him feel uncomfortable. No duke likes to feel that ho is marrying above him. Naturally you will provide him, while he is with you, with the necessities of life. It is extremely embarrassing when you invite some of your intimate friends in to see your duko to have him sit on the end of your davenport couch with fringe on his trousers and a false bosom to his shirt. Feed him, therefore, on good nourishing food, and make him as respectable as any duke can ever be made. Lippin-cott- s Magazine.
