BEAU EVENINGS.
I^ove hath every bliss in store;
•Tip friendship, and 'lis something more
Kach other every wish they give;
Not to know love Is not to live.
What girl who haB a young man
calling regularly upon her, does not
look forward with
eager expectancy
to "beau eve-
nings," the com-
ing of one who Is
growing a little
nearer and dearer
than a friend, but
who has not, as
yet, become an
acknowledged lov-
er. Girls are will-
ing to devote half
of the week eve-
nings to their fam-
ily and friends,
but even her clos-
est chums know
that the balance
of her evenings,
"she has an en-
gagement with Jack." It is as natural
&e for the mOon to shine and the stars
to give light that they should want to
spend their hours by thenjselves on
the porch steps, In a secluded nook
In the park, or strolling arm in arm,
or hand in hand along flower-bordered
unfrequented paths To the beau and
his sweetheart two's company—three
a crowd. Not that they have anything
In particular to Bay to each other—In-
deed long stretches of silence ensue
ofttlmes. Yet they are bo enthralled
with each other's presence they are
blissfully content. Looking backward
over the evening,'"each imagines there
is no one in the wide world bo enter-
taining as the other. Someone has
called It a fool's paradise, be that as
It may, when both are young, In love
and life is a lesson not yet studied,
thase sweet, romantic, courting times
gild prosaic existence for both man
and maid, and cast rainbow bridges
far Into the future. By the time a
couple has wintered and summered
ea^h other they should know if they
are congenial to each other; that Is if
their tastes agree, if the presence of
th^ one is needful to the other to Be-
much that he Hkes and expects to stt I
down to.
She has managed to save a plate of
ice cream and a few lady lingers for
him and a small dish of nuts, and won-
ders why he frowns and refuses to
listen to her small talk about her fash-
ionable guests. A month of this and
husband and wife have their ttrst quar- j
rel He tells her a fellow cannot af- j
ford to feed a host of her friends week- ,
ly, support a house, etc., on a salary
of twenty dollars a week, that he
hasn't had one good Bquare meal in a
fortnight, and she'll soon have to
choose between her friends and her I
fondness for Inviting them to spreads
and him.
1 am obliged to say that the young
husband who takes this stand is quite j
justified in so doing. He who toils |
for his bread In any walk of life neces-
sarily endures more or less bodily
fatigue. He has cares to sap his vital
energy and strength, therfore, a good,
, substantia! dinner is a necessity to
j him. Friends, so-called, who do not
; visit where they do not get a bountiful
supply of refreshments are best gotten
along without.
Wives who spend hard-earned money
thus wantonly should not have the
handling of their better halves' wages
until they learn how to take care of
It. Popularity and a slim purse from
which to draw the wherewithal to en-
tertain, do not agree well. A few
well chosen friends who are pleased
to call in the evening and without the
expectation of being feasted are the
beBt and most satisfactory. Foolish
are the young married women who
begin housekeeping and home making
to give people who are not especially
Interested in them a good time at
their expense.
Sending out her "at home" cards
has wrecked the peace of many a
newly wedded couple. It is not right
to feast friends at the expense of a
husband's stomach, his comfort and
welfare Delicatessen suppers are poor
makeshifts for the good, warm, hearty
meal a husband expects and should get
when he provides money to buy it.

Titles and Taxes in Spain.
In Spain titles of nobility are taxed
in the same way as houses or land.
Moreover, each separate title Is taxed,
and for this reason certain members
of ancient families in which a number
of titles have accumulated drop some
in order to save money. Owing to the
system long prevalent In Spain by
which women of noble birth transmit
Is
their title not only to their children I j,ave justification for their theories.

ly up and down his bedroom, wonders , The simple matter of causing it to
become universal for the married man
to wear the customary band of gold
would eliminate many a mistake.
Many a girl falls In love with a band-
some, dashing man, who has seeming-
ly paid her attention. It does not oc-
cur to her to make inquiries as to
whether he is married or single. She
takes it for granted that he Is looking
for a sweetheart. She wastes golden
hours in entertaining him, and builds
secret air castles through which his
voice resounds All this would be
avoided, providing she had an inkling
of the fact that she was wasting her
time on another woman's husband.
There are countries in which it is tho
custom for man and wife to exchange
wedding rings. Kaclt wears the sym-
bol of wedded life with joy and satis-
faction.
j Why shouldn't the American hus-
i band do likewise? Why should the
; wife be the only one to exhibit the
'token of marital existence? If the
I husband refuses to wear such a ring,
