the girl may be in her
way as selfish as the man and have
married for tho sake of position,
wealth, independence from parental
control, or some equally
reason. If this be tho case,
as soon as tho little veneer of
attractions and sympathy which
they called has worn then
both man and woman will find tho
marriage look
back wistfully to their old days of
freedom.
In a case this certainly we
cannot say love has bean destroyed
by marriage, for, though both young
may have fancied they loved,
it was a mere delusion, which time
and better acquaintance must
have dispelled without the
of matrimony.

The Ideal
Tho ideal schoolboy is an orderly
machine, always obedient, receptive,
submissive, ready in the cricket
and with real or simulated
for football, despising all other
games, and conservative to the
backbone. He is tho darling of tho
master, who sends home with
glowing reports and arms full of
books. It seems never to
cur to any one that there may be
natures to which classical
and history no appeal,
who have not the gift of the
and who do not oven care
to play at or football. If
such appear in a school, they
have a bad time of it, dragging out
their miserable days at bottom
of the form, regarded as fools by the
masters and as muffs by the boys.
And yet among these school failures
may or Dar wins or
at any rate may be and com-
there is tho material out of
good and useful citizens are

show what they can
