Married VVoman'a Pence of Soul.
The basis of a newly married wo
man's peace of soul is trust. Slip feels
that the responsibility is on h r h"us-
Dand to make good the manly quali
ties with which slie has endowed him ,
and because of which she has con
sented to become bis mate. Occasion
ally during the first few moirWis of her
married life Constance laughed to think
tiiat all her maidenly eagerness to solve
tic riddle of life brilliantly , and all
her profound searching of the myste
ries of the universe should have end
ed In her becoming an everyday house
wife with dustpan and brush , and the
wife of one who , to all outward ap
pearances , was an every-dJiy young
man. But her laugh savored of glad
ness. She had given herself to him
because she had faith that his energy ,
self-reliance , fearless humor and sym
pathetic hatred of sliams would dis
tinguish liim presently from tlie com
mon herd of men , and vindicate her
infatuation. She had given herself to
him , besides , because he loved her
a delightful consciousness. According
ly. she enclosed herself in the web of
hnppiness which her confid'ence ' in him
had ppun about her , and took up her
domestic duties Avith light-hearted de
votion.
Nevertheless , no woman emerges
from her honeymoon with exactly the
same estimate of her lover as before.
If nothing else , she has seen his men
tal and moral characteristics in their
undress , so to speak , and become habit
uated to their sublimity. We may be
no less fond of a person whose anec-
doios have grown familiar to us , and
analogously a wife does not weary of
her husband's qualities merely because
they have lost the glamor of novelty.
On the contrary she is apt to continue
to adore them because they are his.
Still she feels free to scrutinize them
closely and unconsciously at least
to submit them to the test of her own
silent judgment. She discovers , too ,
of course , that he has ideas and idio
syncrasies the existence of which she
never suspected.
Ordinarily she finds to her surprise
that his attitude in regard to this or
that matter has shifted perceptibly
since marriage , so that , instead of be
ing lukewarm or ardent , as the case
may be , he has become almost strenu
ous or indifferent in his attitude. Hence
she divines that during their courtship
some of his real opinions and tenden
cies have been kept in retreat. From
"The Undercurrent , " by Ilobert Grant ,

Girls and Live Lsttern.
Girls , put a brake on your enthusi
asm when it leads you into writing
impassioned epistles to the men with
whom you imagine you are in love.
When the right man comes write
him as many letters as your love and
discretion suggest , but don't put any
thing on paper that you will be
ashamed to read in later years.
There is nothing sweeter.than a gen
uine , tender , girlish love letter , but
don't take the "gilt off the ginger
bread" by wasting your letters on the
wrong man.
Do you know what he does with
those letters ? Very often he carries
them about in his pocket for weeks ,
whore they rub up against sordid bills
and business letters , and every time
he wants a certain letter he takes the
whole bunch out and your pretty , lov
ing little message gets sadly frayed
and soiled.
And sometimes ( and this is worst of
all ) I am sorry to say that this careless
man lets your letters lie around the
house where all who are curious may
read them.
He does not do this because he loves
your letter , but because you are not the
right girl and he is not the right man.
and the letter is valued accordingly.
When the right man gets a letter
from you he will not carry it in his
"general correspondence" pocket ; he
will have it tucked off by itself In a
special pocket and if it looks worn and
soiled it is because it has been taken
out and tenderly perused many times
and oft
And so , don't you see , little girls ,
that when you scatter your letters too
freely among your men friends you are
not only wasting your precious
thoughts , but that most precious of al !
womanly attributes your dignity.
Seattle Times.
BIon Who Bnnsta of .Love Conquests ,
Girls , I wonder if any of you num
ber among your men friends one who
boasts of bis conquests among womjen
and displays love letters which he has
received from different girls.
If you do know such a man , ffiy ad
vice to you IB to "drop him. " He is
not to be trusted , and he will treat
you the same way he has treated oth
ers
The man who reads a woman's let
ters to another woman or to his men
friends is beneath contempt. He is
i miserable wretch , who goes about the
world making love to girls , and after
he has won their love , and the poor ,
little things have committed their sen
timents to paper , he makes a jest and
a boast of the pathetic little effusions
to all who will listen.
Girls , your own womanly intuition
ought to warn you against such men ;
but as long as men and maids aii.l love
shall last there will be deceiving on
3ie one hand , guileless trust on the
ither and much heartache all around.
However , even If you cannot detect
.he unworthinesa of such a man at
right , when you once realize his per
fidy you owe it to womanhood in gen
eral to unveil his character. And last ,
but not by any means least , you are
quite as much to blame as he if you
listen when he offers to read you an
other woman's letter.
Remember that he will read yours to
the next woman , and do your share
toward discouraging and putting down
his abominable conceit Spokesman
Review.
Have Few Clothes.
Have a few clothes and wear them ;
do not put them by and forget them ,
and spend a fortune on renovations
when you call them to mind. Get the
materials as good as possible , and the
styles excellent if you can afford to
pay for them. Tlie difficulty in dres >
now Is the various occasions , each de
manding such very different clothe * .
Town and country would seem to be
diametrically opposed to each other.
A woman skillful with her nedle can
often buy for a very little a last year'd
garment or hat at the sale , which sh *
can transmogrify , and it is worth whh
from economical motives. Women
should always be dressed appropriate
ly and never buy anything which is t
marked fashion of the moment , becaiis
it grows old and must pass awaj
Clothes that attract the eye are a mi
take ; they should only be worn seldon
and require a large wardrobe. It i
wise to keep as few colors as you c.in
so that hats , , petticoats , gloves am
shoes will suit all. Cheap fabrics ar
never worth buying ; good fabrics r
ducocl in price are quite another thinj.
A clever woman who must count "th
siller warily , " adopts a certain styl
of her own , which she modifies accoul
ing to the dictates of fashion.
The Circ of the
A beautiful hand should be lonjr
delicate and narrow. The skin covering
oring it should be very fair or of n
uniform pale color , Avith a slightlj
plump back , devoid of protuberant
veins. The thumb should reach tlu
middle articulation of the Index fii1
ger , the latter just a little lower thai
the nail of the middle finger. Tin-
middle finger should be longer than
the ring-finger by half the length ot
a nail , and the little finger should stop
at the second articulation of the ring-
finger.
Sudden transition from cold to heat
should be avoided for the hands , which
should be washed only in tepid wa-ter.
with a pure soap , not oftener than
three washings a day. After wash
ing with soap , rinse the hands thor
oughly , always in tepid water to
which has been added a teaspoonful
of perfumed glycerine.
If the skin of the hands is rough ,
bathing In either bran-water or
marsh-mallow-water will soften it and
make it supple. Do not use fat sub
stances to attain this same result , for
although they are temporarily effect
ive , they end by reddening the skin.
A woman desirous of keeping the
beauty of her hands unimpaired
should never go out without gloves.
Woman's Homo Companion.
Whv His Mnrrince Was a Failure.
He regarded children as a nuisance.
He never talked over his affairs with
his wife.
lie never had time to go anywhere
with his wife.
He doled out money to his wife as if
to a beggar.
He looked down upon his wife as an
inferior being.
He never took rime to get acquainted
with his family.
He thought of his wife only for what
she could bring to him.
He never dreamed that there were
two sides to marriage.
He never dreamed that a wife needs
praise or compliments.
He had one set of manners for home
and another for society.
He paid no attention to his personal
appearance after marriage.
He married an ideal , and was dis
appointed to find it had flaws.
He thought his wife should spend all
her time doing housework.
He treated his wife as he would not
have dared to treat another woman.
He never dreamed that his wife
needed a vacation , recreation or
change.
He never made concessions to his
wife's judgment , even in unimportant
matters. Success.
