me honestly, do you approve of Ann* libs remarks m that letter you let me read 1* i ranked npoo the first) opportunity, *9h yes ! Certainly. I know perfectly : well, that the dear old thing can't afford fee hire a window, an she (a simply tubing bo it, ! I quite approve of her relinquishing stl thought of doing 10,' responded my Lidy. 'No. I refer to those remark! she madt about other things.' \ j.What 'other things' that «h» maefc re trenoh and that sho hated being m k orcwd withou 1 having a 'Lord of creation' some* where neat ? I agree with her t.h*>rp, too. 'Why aie you so tiresome ? You know quite well, to what; lam alluding. Do yet think a man should no), marry, until he ha* % house of his own aud three hundred ft year V 'Iti all depend upon who the man \u There's our milkman,who has married lately iipub £100 per annum, and he has his read to pay, bat, I am sure his little wife h« made a charming home mid they live m th« ♦lap of luxury.' ■What I want to know is,'eaid I dupt* rately 'how can a wretched olerk m an office geu & huuas «*f huown and make £300 a year,? And do people se6 awfully mittr able who marry oo iay £176 ? 'Yes, most of them go melancholy mad, and pub an end to an existence whioh oan be barely supported on such a 'pittance, Only week-minded people would dream of making the attempt,' 'I thought' said I with a touch of severity that you were not mercenary ; thab do sordid motive ever actuated you. I could never have believed that you would advoo»De 'marrying for money !' ♦What are you talking about 2 lam not advooatiag anything.' 'Well, you said no one ought bo marry unless they first secured a huge income. 9 "I never said any such thing j and pray do you think £300 per annum a 'huge income?' because I do not.' * Well you evidently approve of first sett ling money matters, and then, if they are ell right, love and eonipauionahip will foi> low * ' You HBern bent on misrepresenting what I say; Certainly, from what I have seen of married life, I conclude that if money matters were taken more Into consideration before matrimony were thought of, there would not be co many women worked to death, ao we see now ' •/don'tsee them.' ' Well| if not actually worked to death, made ill-tempered and old before their time. lam sure, if all the married women you know were placed m a row:before you, you would see most of them looking haggard and we»ry and cross. How do you account) for that.' 'Probably, most of them have marripd the wrong man, and things haven't turned out aB well as they expected, and moreover, I could pick out of my married lady acquaintances, many who look ac fresh, and bright and happy aB young girls.' 1 And they all have good iroomee haven't th^y t And their husbands give them k liberal allowatee to do what they like with, find they have ho anxiety as to whether they cm nave a new bonnet this season, and & new cloak and dress as wel!; or whether they must get a bonnet m summer, and a cloak m winter, and a drees from their mother if she can coax it out cf father. Isn't that the wayi of, your happy lady friend?,' 1 No, I don't think they are «o devoted to ' drees ' as to m*ke it the onoenbjsch of their contentment. I think they are all good women, devoted to their husbands, who find their happiness m making their husbands happy. 8 On £100 a year V > 'Id some naees oa very little more. Of course now, I for instance, would not think of asking any girl to chare my future uiAil £ had ao income of at least £400, but I would like any one I loved, to be witling to share £100 if I could get nothing more.' • 1 could not imagine where such a girl could be found,' said my Lady trying hard to hide a smile behind a program, she pre tended to be examining* I think you've ss I quite enough on this uninteresting question, I know exactly what Aunty means. She icn'e m the least mercenary, but she reanons lhab if a fellow really loves a girl, he thinks first, and thinks sensibly and pro vidently of her comfort, and how be it going to secure it, and sets about securing it Song before he marries. Aunty says (and she is perfectly right) that a comfortable marriage depends upon the common sense andyfrrv thotight of the man more than upon the woman, that is what she means, when she cays *he must gather the materials, she must weave {not wear) then you knew, that the word wife means weaver. I entirely agree with her, so don't bother me with any more questions. And by the way she asked me to invite you on her behalf to aocom* pany v«, and look after us on the Dake and Duchess day m Ohristchurch. Oan yon come? JOh did she? {My lady forgov that I had read Aunt's letter !} Bow very kind of her. Oi course, I can come 1; I would not disappoint the dear old lady on any account, and I suppose your sister Fanny went be there will she? She will be with younger people no doubt, «he must enjoy herself more,, I'll not fail*' Farewell.
