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."

The Sober Man's Secret
A tall man stood at the bar with a party
of friends long after midnight. 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.
