DONT'S FOR THE ENCAGED

A Wellington lady, in looking through an old scrapbook of her mother's, came across the following quaint, in the main, sensible instructions:—

Don't imagino that you are the two most important persons in the world, and chat you have only to live for each other.

Don't forgot that aftor marriage you will need your frionds, so it's risky, oven positively harmful, to forsake them when you are engaged. Don't bo- too sentimental. Act towards each other with common sense, and remember that all peoplo have faults—even engaged couples. Don't miss any opportunity of saving monoj\ It's always useful for the liouse-furnishing, or for tho rainy days than como afterwards. ' Don't omit to think over and to talk over the difficulties that must bo faced after marriage. Don't bo always finding fault with each other. It is a dangerous failing, and leads straight to unhappiucss. Don't lot jealousy creep into ' your mind. It has ruined thousands of young lives, and made many a sweet woman hard and bittor. Don't, boast about your fiancee to your friends and hold him up as an unsullied angel. They won't believe you. And why should they?—he's only a man. " • '
