For Married Folk.

Society requires that, whatever their private relations, husband and wife face the world as a unit, harmonious. and with interests identical. One thing good form iiuperativelv demands —that by no mischance, no loss of self-control, shall family discords be revealed to strangers, children. or servants. An uncontrolled voice is always unmannerly and undignified. A readiness to give up in little things is the most tactical appeal possible for a return of courtesy at other

times when the matter may be of importance to us. HAVE YOI'ROWN INDIVIDUALITY. It is the woman that has the courage to be herself who attracts. Originals are so much more desirable than copies, no matter how accurate the copy may be. Ix»t every woman dare to be herself, develop her own individuality, not blir.dly copy some other woman. Let her think for herself, act for herself, .'.rd express her own honest opinions. Individuality, when combined with that nameless something called manner. is the most potent weapon in the possession of the sex. A good woman s laugh is better than medicine. GRACIOUS TO THE HUMBLE. Many stories are told of the curious adventures of Queen Margherita on her mountaineering excursions, savs the "Chicago Chronicle.” The story of how she entertained a party of tourist elimbers in one of the mountain huts is well known, but few have heard of another little adventure which befell her last summer. The Queen.whose energy is always the envv and despair of her suite, had wandered away from her attendants, and not only had lost her way. but was both hungry and fatigued, when she saw a peasant's cottage in the distance. Making her way to it. her knock was answered by an old peasant woman. whom she asked for rest and refreshment. " Come in. my dear, and welcome." the kindly old peasant said. The Queen entered and insisted on helping the hostess to prepare the simple meal of milk and bread. When the belated attendants reached the cottage. they found the Queen and the old woman gossiping like old friends. It was not until some days later, when a handsome present arrived at the cottage, that the woman learned how she had entertained her Queen.
