ON CHOOSING A WIFE.

Mr Richard 3a Gailieniis, who Is over in Americajaat now, has been giving hl« ideas on. the selections of wives and hat* bands to the New York Journal* Generally speaking™bo far as one osft generalise nn co intimate and particular a sabjpch he says, lam en the side of the '* doll/ if you can afford to keep her, aniifyonare prepared for her l»ck of Intellectual versatility and & certain mi no'ony in her conversation. For when you come to think of it, " doll" is really the word applied by " hygienic" woman to teiutiful women — the women who w»ar? No 5 «hoea as against the women who wears No 2'a. Of coarse, there are many kinds of beantiful women, and—if I may write personally for & moment—l prefer the kind that would gain the smallest number of votes in a "plebiscite" competition. I prefer the woman that seems beautiful to me. I like a few seleeb other people to think her beautiful, too. But I donfc want too many of my opinion* And when yon get beanty youggett t as one of oof greatest, most masculine English poeta has eaid (of course, I mean Browniog)i about the best th it God invents." Of course, so mush depends on what you many for. There are two universally accepted reasons for marr'age—marriage for love, and marriage for money. If f on marry for money you will be wise to ; en* gage a smart lawyer ; if you marry fof love, no one can help yon. In conclusion, marry the person joO want to many, and donb take any one elee's advice upon the subject—certainly not mine. ____ —i .
