ON THE BRIDAL TRIP:

A Few Suggestions for the Benefit of the Young Wife.

A bride's first lesson to learn on the bridal trip is to respect the extreme sensitiveness of her husband, who doesn't want people to know he has just been married; consequently she will be wise if, after her first journey, she assumes a gown that has seen wear: if she will forget to look around in a startled manner whenever her husband is gone from her side, as it is not likely that he is either going to be lost or stolen.

The next thing for her to learn is that no matter how fond she may be of her husband, she should reserve all manifestations of this for their own apartment, and that holding his hand, kissing him before people or putting her head on his shoulder really and truly become indecent when done in public. A man can show a woman every attention possible, and a woman can make him understand her love for him without their leaving themselves open to be made a jest and a byword for their traveling companions.

The next thing for her to learn is, when she is at a hotel, not to grow confidential with the chambermaid, not to give her a piece of her wedding-cake and tell her all about the marriage ceremony, and tell her how she looked. You think this is never done? Ask at some large hotel.

The next thing for her to learn, is to like to eat what her husband likes. She may have some decided tastes, but if she is a wise woman she will leave the ordering of dinner to him and he, being a gentleman, will find out some of her particular likes.

The next thing for her to learn, is to address her husband as "Mr. Brown" before people; she can call him "Darling Harry" when they are quite alone, and only then.

The next thing for her to learn, is not to giggle or look surprised when she gets a letter from her mother addressed to her in her married name. Men are particularly sensitive creatures about some things, and they are rather given to think a woman don't want a name when she acts in this way.

The next thing for her to learn, and the most important of all, is that her bridal trip is only the preface to her married life, and that in it, while she may read some suggestions, she has only the book open to her when she gets home after the honeymoon.-Ladies Home Journal.
