TIIE ILLUSTBATKD BEE, SecfCt of a Happy Home H EED the bruter a phrase tittered by Mrs. EflwanJ A. Blgelow at the convention of the Social Eco nornlcs club of Chicago, where ' more thnn 100 women met to de termine the three essentials to a home, la one that, while It may not go "reverber ating down the corridors of lime," has at loast gone echoing through the city and ; the state. One result of this most sen tentious and expressive utte rice, reports the Chicago Record-Herald, has been a flood of Inquiry concerning the author of It, coupled with a renewed Interest In the verbal symposium In which so many ear Host and representative women participated, and a demand for a fuller knowledge of their wives, with particular reference to the question of the feeding of the brute. Now It transpires that In the confusion of the moment Mrs. Iiignlow was under stood to be voicing all of her own senti ments on the subject, when she was but expressing one of the cardinal necessities of a hnppy home, and this by quoting from a well-known source. She neither lays claim to originality nor desires to be un derstood as having an unbending singleness of purpose by her use of the musical and catchy phrase. She explains that In order the better to Illustrate her point she was repealing an anecdote of Dr. Hubert Coll yer, the famous divine who founded the Unity church In Chicago In 1S0. She adds! that she does not tike the view that all men, strictly speaking, are brutes, but she docs believe that there Is not a little truth In the well-worn muxlm, "The way to a man's heurt Is through his stom ach," end In this view she Is sustained by qulto a number of club women. These women are not so radical as to propose a complete settlement of the problem of do mestic happiness by making the cook book the principal feature of every woman's library or by causing "food to be accepted . as the most Important word In her lexicon, but they believe that a properly conducted . kitchen Is as necessary, to domestic -peace and harmony as any other department of . the home. . . Mrs. Hlgelow's speech was made by her as a representative of , the Chrysolite ,club. As as champion of gustatory pleasures in -the home she Is seconded - by women In . several - branches of woman's club work. When asked Just what she did say at the Social Economics gathering, and to express herself- besides on the entire subjoct, she asserted her willingness to do so for the sake of the organisation . she represented as well as for her own sake. She sild: ."Home Is a word to conjure with. Out side of religion no theme has Inspired more . peurlle platitudes ' or more sublime elo quence, and the last word will never be ' said, for the reason that life Is an experi ment, a progressive experiment to us all. "To be sure we are heirs to all past ex perience, but as each generation, and each unit In us. Is in some sense unique, the old problem of how to get the most out of life must ever find its answer In readjustment, "The home being a fundamental thing Is from generation to generation, and today ' we have set ourselves to a mental waits movement which fairly threatens us with vertigo, In that we are to discover and define the three essential elements of home. "We are agreed that the husband, wife and child form the complete body of the ' Ideal . home. They are the dramatis per onae. To them Is left the providing of ' the stage and its getting, while Time un- ' falllngly supplies the drama Itself. That this may never become a farce or a tragedy U required that wise adjustment of forces which we are so eagerly studying today. ."In Illustration of differing points of view I. can do no better than recall a story of Rev. Robert. Collyer. In .his. native town In England the quiet. God-fearing folk live to a great age. One aged couple, equally ' famed for their longevity and their mutual devotion, were given an anniversary feast,, to which were bidden three generations of, friends and klnfolk. "Among these came a young bride In the glow and eostary qf marriage vows fresh spoken. At the feet of the aged wife she knelt and besought of her the secret whereby she 'had kept secure the love of her husband, through the stress of years. The good dame was slow to hear, but after some repetition she grasped the thought and responded with vigor and a nasal twang: 'Peed the brute!' "The bride of today hasn't the comfort of such simple and direct advice. Char lotte Perkins Oilman and others declare this formula wholly Inadequate and add that heroines of romance In fact or fiction are rarely cooks. If the eager bride of to day pays heed to her many advisers she will soon learn the truth that she must know all and do everything. A staggering proposition, viewed In the abstract, but one which loses much of Its terror when we translate it to mean that, like a good sol dier, she stand at her post, every faculty at attention,- ready to meet each day's emergency."

He was the only sober one In the bunch. His steadiness angered the others. A final round of drinks was ordered. The tall man asked for gin. "No gin," said the least drunk of the others to the bartender. "Been trying to get him full all night. Maybe gln'll be only water. I.ast try. Give 'Im whisky." "Make It whisky, then," said the tall man. The sober man's hand carelessly dropped down to his coat pocket, and as carelessly was raised to his lips. Nobody noticed it but the bartender. After the drinks the tall man put his companions into cabs and then re-entered the cafe. "What was that you ate Just before you took that drink?" asked the bartender. "Rasing,-my boy, raisins," said the cus tomer. "They've been my salvation. I have been a rounder all my life, have drank many men under the table and have never been seen to stagger. The secret of It Is that early In the game I learned that raisins taken into the stomach before a drink will absorb tho alcohol and prevent it from exciting tho brain. In all my drink ing bouts I keep a good supply of raisins in my pocket,' and they have carried me through grandly." New York Tress.
