HONEYMOON HINTS

May Edginto'n, the playwright and author,: has been giving some practical advice .in a London paper to young, people who are arrangingvtheir-honeymoon.- She lays down, for the success of the "most extravagant, delicious, exciting holiday they will ever take together," the'fundamental necessity that the bride be.generous and gay, and the bridegroom also generous and gay. "Secondly," says Miss Edginton, "the settling of the honeymoon! Remember, you don't-, really know each other well enough to be stranded on a desert island with a whole lot of new and untried .'rights' over your new husband or your new/wife. It is difficult to forget instantly the momentary- sharp; disap pOiritments which .will probably surprise you both equally if there are no other distractions to.' soften the note bf discord. Also, it is difficult,, in a primitive place— unless you are 'two of Nature's primitives yourselves, which in all likelihood you are not—gracefully to adjust the banal and. trivial problems. of existence which you will, never ..again, need, so very carefully and delicately to adjust. On the other hand, don't go to some crowded resort arid fill ;your every'moment -with 'pleasure.' . It.won't. be 'pleasure., It will leave you, most probably, with a feeling that marriage isn't" so very "deep an experience after all. Choose: a .reasonably quiet aud attractive place, where' you can, if you wish, amuse yourselves with golf, or tennis, or dancing, or riding; but where you can also, if you wish, spend quiet, mar-, vellous evenings put of doors, under the ■ moou;-or by-a log-tire side'by side, talking and dreaming, making radiant resolutions for the years-to .come; or where you can, if.the fancy .iuor.es you,, go gloriously out in your trousseau clothes, spend more thau you can afford, drink champagne, dance to a band playiiig love tunes, and feel how gay, how gallant'and glorious is life. And always spend a little-more, love a little more, rejoice a little more, thau you have ever done before, so that you have a little storehouse of divine: memories to look at when suddenly; later, life makes you shiver with a winter wind. .
