TT" IUJ I U-J TAKEN FOR GRANTED. would lie uimislnx If It were not pathetic to note with how little skill wo conform to the peculiarities of the members of our family. Why cannot - not we learn to take their idlosyncru- dca for granted ? Given certnlu people and certain conditions , we know jus > t what to expect. It works out In al most every case as accurately as a problem In algebra , and yet we never fall to feel surprised and exasperated when the course of our friends Is not what we should miip out for them. People ple live together twenty , thirty , forty years , and yet do not learn to take each other for granted. The Indolence or wasted energy ; the lavlshness or parsimony of our companions , produce In uthe same sensations with the same degree of Intensity as If It were nil a new story , and In too nuiny cases calls forth the same Indignant and use less remonstrances. It Is not always as Important as we think that people should direct their lives and affairs along the lines which we deem wisest and best. Our methods may not have all the merit we claim for them. But even granting that they have , we cannot compel their accept ance by other people. Our friends have the same conlldonce In their own Judgment that we have In ours. The fact that It Is so hard to set aside our special prejudices ought to make us more lenient toward others. Instead of resorting to remonstrance , criticism or ridicule , If we would but good naturedly adapt ourselves to the harmless whims of those with whom we nre associated , we should add great ly to their comfort and happiness. We an like to do things In our own way. imd since we cannot always Indulge oor own wishes , why not do what we can toward gratifying the wishes of others ? Alice Josephine Johnson , In Good Housekeeping. Won n White Hiislmtvl. Miss Martha Afong , daughter of the Honolulu millionaire , who left her home In Hawaii to go to Manila to wed Lieut. Dougherty , of the Thirty-seventh Infantry , Is the daugh ter of a millionaire Chinaman , and is one of ten sisters , who re cently made a tour of the United States , ' * * " which resulted In the MISS AKONO. nlnrphlpc Of SX | of tllem to well-known Americans. Miss Afong Is 21 years of age , and the most benutl- fnl of the ten. She Urst became ac quainted with her future husband at Honolulu , where he stopped for a few days on Ine wr to M" " ' i It was love at first silit n < 1 alt' ' 'Ci h the court- Rhlp lasted only three days , her con- Bent was given for an early marriage. Aa Llent. Dougherty could not leave his post of duty , Miss Afong was forced to go to Manila to fulfill her promise. She receives a dowry of $10,000 , It I'lcnHCH a Woman , The greatest secret of domestic hap piness lies In husband and vrlfo pleasIng - Ing each other. It is quite as ensy to say pleasant , graceful things as dis agreeable ones. It Is far sweeter to a wife to have tender words from her husband than it was to have them from him before marriage husband In the role of lover has a double value In a wife's estimation. It pleases a wo man to know her husband says pleas ant things to her because he means thorn , and not as flattery. Flattery never pleases her. It pleases her to bo told by him that lie needs her that his happiness depends upon her compan ionship. To feel that her efforts to please are successful , and are appre ciated accordingly , will stimulate most women to greater endeavors. Woman's Life. New in Her Line.

Ulntlon of Twentieth Oiitury Miild. The twentieth coniury will bo pre eminently the woman's century. It will be her duty , her privilege , to do Its choicest work. What is the noblest thing she may do with her life , with her leisure ? The thoughtful American girl Is coming to s.ee this truth that the nation's greatest need Is spiritual ity ; that the Ideal type from now on will be the spiritual woman. It IH not the religious side of spiritual life which In lacking. The churches and hundreds of God-fearing men and women are at tending to that. It Is that portion of cplrltuul life not directly connected with religion the portion v u-h has ever been woman's peculiar pi.iy tux - which Is neglected. the physical of th' la conquest rwin- try woman bore the heroic pan < > t t i > Ulewt sufferer. Important as was the role she played then , It grew even more Important In the Intellectual conquest vfefcb followed. That conquest la go nearly complete that It may be taket for granted. An education such tin education as the world never dreamed of heretofore Is now within the reach of every American boy and girl. It ex tends from the kindergarten through the university. But having becomu the most powerful , the richest and the most resourceful of modern nations we are not to rest there In the belief that progress Is all to be measured by war ships and the dollar mark. ( Every people ple has gained a little on the great lad der that humanity Is climbing , and though material progress comes first , spiritual must follow or the nation falls. George W. Gerwlg , In Woman's Home Companion. We are to be surfeited this summer with hip yokes and flounces. The yokes are usually of lace , and Instead of running around the skirt In the usual fashion the lower line of the yoke Is broken by lines of lace running from the yoke to the bottom of the skirt. Fre- queutly the yoke runs Into a plastron effect In front. Shirred yokes will be seen on some of the summer gowns made of thin material , and very young girls will wear yokes of smocking. So much trimming will be Introduced that there may be some bewilderment among even the wisest women as to the decoration of their summer gowns , but It Is always wise to remember that the best rule to follow is "Uhu trim ming only when there Is an excuse for It" There Is nothing artistic about a gown trimmed with bows and patches of lace or ribbon set on at random. A lovely house gown In lavender crepe yolku-dottcd In white Is one of the gowns in a bridal ontllt. The trail ing skirt Is finished with a graduated flounce and given an additional Hare by clusters of tiny tucks set in all about the top where the flounce Is sewn to the hklrt. Abovp the flounce there are two rows of heliotrope velvet ribbon. The bodice Is tucked and bloused In front. It opens In the bank and is drawn Into a girdle of heliotrope velvet and gold gauze. In front the girdle Is drawn low. It Is wide In the back , the points at top and bottom giv ing a very slender waist. The sleeves reach the elbows and are finished with full puffs of gold gansto shrouded in heliotrope chiffon and fulled into vel vet bauds. The neck Is cut out In a shallow V , both back and front. CnrHtiii riiiiil. To soy that there * Is any fluid that will curl hair that Is naturally straight would be to state an untruth , but a. curling fluid for the hair that helps to keep It wavy when the air Is damp Is the nearest approach to anything of the sort that the chemist has yet devis ed. Such n liquid can be made by combining two ounces of borax , out * drachm of gum arable and one quart of hot water , not boiling. Stir this together and as soon as the Ingredients are dissolved add three tablespoonfnls of strong spirits of camphor. If this Is applied before the hair Is rolled up In papers , or comet ! In contact with the tongs , it will greatly help In obtaining that llulllness that Is so much In de mand. How to Ilniitr 1'irturrs. For pictures to hang nicely , especial ly small water colors. It Is essential that they should not hung forward from the wall. In a well lighted room there Is little If any advantage to be gained by allowing the paintings on the wall to project In the old-fashioned ugly way. The very best , and , on the whole , the cheapest , manner of going to work Is to have a picture molding or picture rail round the top of the wall and hang pictures from this by means of the hooks which are sold everywhere. It Is also best to have two wires to each picture , so that all of them , If observed at nil , are soon to bo parallel. In Chnnsinir Huis . The average buyer finds the prices of the genuine Oriental rugs much be yond his means. For Instance , many could pay , say . ? ' - ' < " > for a good-sized square rug , or $15 for the .smaller ob long kind , but only at special sales or auctions ( where some knowledge Is necessary ) are good ones to be had at anything like such prli-cs. Morels rugs are the hctt second choice. Smyrna uro also good , but in the majority of cases Morris ones are bettor. They are re versible and the color tones quite soft and artistic.

' u * , A woman is sick Bomo disease peculiar to her sex is fast developing in her system. She goes to her family physician and tells liim a story , but not the whole story. She holds back something , loses her head , becomes agi tated , forgets what she wants to say , and finally conceals what she ought to have told , and this completely mystifies the doctor. Is it a wonder , therefore , that the doctor fails to cure the disease ? Still wo cannot blame the woman , for it is very em barrassing to detail some of the symptoms of her suffering , oven to her family physician. This is the reason why hundreds of thousands of women are now in corre spondence \vith Mrs. JL'inkham , at Lynn , Mass. To her they can give every symptom ; BO that when she is ready to advise them she is in possession of more facts from her correspondence with the patient than the physician can possibly obtain through a personal interview. Following wo publish a letter from a woman showing the result of a correspondence with Mrs. Pinkham. All such loiters arc considered aoHOiuteiy coiimicnimi by Mrs , I'iiilclmm , and are never published in any way or manner without the consent in writing of the patient ; hut hundreds of women are so grateful for the health which Mrs. Pinkham and her medicine have been able to restore to them that they not only consent to publishing their letters , but write asking that this bo done in order that other women who suffer may bo benefited by their experience. Mrs. Ella Rice , Chelsea , Wis. , writes : "DEAnMns. PINKIIAM : For two years I was troubled with falling1 and Inflammation of the womb.
