Why She ! u Model 'Wife.
.1THOUT uuuecoHfurlly Bliainiiig
the canons of nioilesty or hel
tatliiK about tlie timeliness of
her message, a woman writer
In the New Idea Wonmn'B mag
azine asserts sho' Is a model
wife, and giveg Bomo Interesting reasons
for the faith that Is In lv r. Here are a
ftws
One reason why 1 think I nm a model
wife Is because I know how to tako care
of my husband's money. It was something
lie knew very little about indeed. He
knew how to make a good living and how
to pay his bills, but thftt was wymt as far
as ho had gotten.
When we were first married he was in
the habit of (riving me a generous allow
ance both for myself and for household ex
penses, ana no immediately took out a
lnrge life Insurance, but that was th
length to which his concern for the fu
ture went. I knew what his income was,
and I felt sure that we ought to save a
nice little auni each year out of it with
out denying ourselves verv much.
There never seemed to be any to save,
however. Jack cast his extra money away
here and there with almost nothing to
show for It, I found. He v;is very gener
ous, and he rave or loaned recklessly to
any one who askad.
One day I got up mv courage an'd hsd a
lour talk with him about It. suggested
lo htm that he make himself a spi-ndlng
allowance as he had done me, and put the
rest of the money In the bank. I thought
Ihe stub of his check-book would be In
( struotlve reading for him at the end of a
mouth, and I also reasoned that if he had
to Craw a check nearlv every time he
wanted to lend or give inonev awav It
would have an Influence on his charities.
1 was right in this. He did not s"w .ur.
simonlous or any less of a eMd fellow, but
he did grow to be less of "a good tiling.''
I am a model wife, too, because I h:iv
never allowed myself to become either
besee or slovenly. I felt that I owed this
lo my husband.
On the score of my personal apjieuiviue
hi has never had reason to bo ashamed of
me. I have grown older so lias he. for that
matter but 1 have not grown dowdy. I
was not blessed with much In the way ;f
good looks in the ben inning, but hs my
husband had chosen ine of his own free
will from among my prettier friends I con
cluded that I suited him suffu iently. I
knew It my duty, however, to "keep my
self up."
Kven when our finances were most strait
ened 1 managed to have . pretty clothes,
cheaper materials to be sure, but stylishly,
daintily made. If I had to economize on
any part of my wardrobe it was on street
clothes. It meant a great deal more to
mj to have pretty house dresses every man
dotes on pretty negligees and tea gowns
than expensive tailor-made suits.
I am a model wife because I .have made
an absorbing study of my husband. To me
he Is of tho most vital interest, while to
other people 1 suppose he is only a very
plain, every-day sort of man, as men go.
Perlia ps if he were an extraordinary per
son 1 would have failed utterly in making
the right sort of a wife. Being common
place myself, our hearts and souls eventu
ally spoke the same language, though not
at first did they do so by any means.
If you will realise that your husband Is
not only "dear old Tom or Dick or Harry,
and the family bread winher, but an actual
human being with a personality and char
acter that may be very alluring, you will
find a fascinating occupation spreading out
before you the opportunity of learning a
little about a human soul.
In no other relations in life is it given
to us to read so clearly and closely a page
out of life. All your study, however, will
be of no use to you unVss it la going to
teach you what to avoid, what to encourage
and what to condemn, and the way to go
about all these things.
The Woman's Hnrdrn.
The cry of "Clara," in A Man's World,
that life is so hard, that she has tried
and tried and cannot make her way un
aided In the world, that she longs with
urspeakable anguish for any man who will
pay the rent. Is a very human wail. In
a greater or lesser degree there are thou
sands of women, and, yes, men, who groan
under the burden that civilization Imposes
upon them. Fate pushes ,up against us
very hard sometimes, and the weaker ones
go to the wall, lose their foothold and are
trampled under the feet of those with more
staying powers. Hut it is not a cry of the
sex alone, for even in a man's world the
mules must fight for existence as well as
tho females. Mr. Taft Bald In a speech
recently that he hated to think that there
are women in the .world who have to marry
In order to be taken care of, and reminded
fathers of their duty in provludlng for their
daughters to make this unnecessary. Uut
the fathers' "teeth are on edge," too, with
the struggle for existence, and the daugh
ters are bravely taking up the burden for
themselves, and while once In awhile a
"Clara" finds the burden too heavv. and
weeps a little, she cheers up and naving
once tasted the independence of "paying
the rent" herself, will be loth to let any
man, unless ho Is big and strong and the
captain of her heart, take up the task
for her.
Old . Age Sweetened.
There is a sweet-faeed, whlle-huired opti
mist living temporarily 'In the third floor
back of a tenement In East Thirty-second
street. New York, who Is growing old
gracefully, relates the Washington Post.
Well known and well beloved In Washing
ton Is this' white-haired optimist, and it
will come as grateful news that ihe is go
ing hine for Christmas and will wander
forth no more.
Mrs. Mary Liedwith is her name, and CS
years have passed over her head. So
kindly was the and so free from guile that
Time could not be cruel to her. Fifty-one
years ago she entered the home of Mrs.
Charles. Carow as a nurse to tho baby. The
baby, grown up, was married to Colonel
Roosevelt In Ivondon in lXMi, and Aunt Mary
was with her at the time. She remained
as a nurse for the Koosovelt children, and
did not leave the family until September,
1!H, when, because of ill health, she tft
Washington to make her home with her
brother and sister.
Cabinet ministers, senators and represen
tatives knew Mrs. Led with, and loved her
for her kindness. Age did not curdle her
nature. Instead she sweetened age and
took its bitterness away. Her tenement
room In New York was not luxurious, and

seem particularly pretty this
season, both in lines and in ma
terials; and the little frocks of
wool which often look unchild
llke have taken on distinct
charms. Of ooursn there are mothers who
dress their little si'.'is altogether in tub
stuffs up to the eight and nine year ages,
obtaining the needed warmth for winter
days by warm uudei wear, but- warmer
frocks and frocks which do not necessitate
such continual laundering are desirable in
many ways and If tastefully and daintily
planned may look babyish enough even for
the four and five year olds.
The cashmeres and challles in plain
dainty colors have always been counted
among the childish materials and many
of thQ serges, broadcloths and mixed stuffs
are also appropriate, while velvet, velvet
een and coidiuoy ate having grest popu
larity tills wlni) r in the children's world
as well as In the province of the grownups.
Some delightful little frocks on the Rus
sian order are made up in velvet usually
of a dark tone of blue or brown or green,
or in black. The last, which in anything
save velvet would seem very somber for
small folk, is highly regurded by. the
French mukers of children's clothes and
there is no denying that it usually looks
(iiialntly picturesque and is becoming to a
i child face and coniplf xlon.
The velvet frock must, of course, be ex
I tremrly plain in line with u collar of hand
' some white lace, such as Irish or Venetian,
I being the relieving note. Coats on this
order are more generally worn than the
l frocks, ami here again we find the more
or i nuidlflcd Kusslan lines.
T'ic overoat lines are liked, too, and
. with both i Us rt coat this winter little
: colli. t-s f furs a;.d :otisib!y cuffs of
; similar fur ate frequently used. A beau-
tlful little coat ill roal Mile velvet, with
I tiny collar and cuffs of pure while ermine,
is shown In one of the Fifth avenue shops,
and beside It Is auotner blue velvet coat.
In a duller blue, with a genuine Kusslan
air, and. with neckband and wristbands
of skunk.
A pretty little model in a warm, soft
green broadcloth has a collar of sealskin
and a lough, soft, giay woolen Coat is
caracul. Heaver is
used on soma of the
chltd coats, though It
mats and does not
w ear so well as some
other furs no more
expensive. For the
very little tots, while
moufflon may take
the place of fur, pure
whlto ermine Is con
sidered appropriate,
and the less elegant
coney gives some
-si
good effects.

can afford extravugancw. For that matter
the same may be said of all white coats.
Nothing Is prettier for the small child
than simtlesa which coat and hat, but
nothing is less desirable for the child than
soiled and brdragged white. It would be
well If mothers would recognizoN that last
truth and content themselves with coats
of more serviceable colors for their wee
folk If they cannot afford more than the
one coat and cannot keep It fresh and
dainty. The all white tradition In connec
tion with children's clothes is an extrava
gant one and it is sheer folly for the
mother who must economize to attempt to
follow the rule, though if she can compass
the laundering she may succevl In keep
ing a small child in white tub frocks.
Hut to grt back to our furs. This winter
tiny seilskin coats for little children have
appeared and they are unquestinably be
coming and warm. One such coat, per
fectly plain and flaring a little toward the
bottom. Is lined throughout with a bright
roso satin, and matching it Is a little list
of close mushroom lines faced with shirred
rose moussellne and trimmed with a chou
of rose satin.
Brown and gray caracul are used for
the little coats, and there are shaggy
little motor coats of brown long haired
fur whose name it is difficult to divine,
such metamorphoses do the humbler pelts
now undergo at the hands of the furriers.
Coats of corduroy, the soft widewale
kind by preference, are excellent for gen
eral wear and give splendid service. They
aro becoming, too, as are all the materials
of velvet finish, and are especially good In
the warm browns, either dark or light and
In the form and mode tones. These last
shades, however, are not Invariably be
coming to child faces, especially when
wintry weather calls fdr a touch of warmer
color and ono cf tho form or inodn cord
uroy coats Is much improved by a little
collar of brown fur.
The same Is true of the smart little form
and biscuit coats In soft rough woolen
cVoth or broadcloth, but in this case a
collar of bi-oWn or black velvet may be
used instead of the fur to give character
to tho coat.
For the small girl's hat there is great

yet she sat .there quietly and contentedly.
She did not regret that her greater days
the days when what she said meant some
thing to a president were gone and that
she was now in the shafow of obscurity.
And when Kthel Roosevelt softly opened
the door of her room In tho tenement holism,
slipped quietly behind her and put her
fingers over her eyes, the old nurse guessed
who it was the very first time. She heard
with delight that Mr. Roosevelt had sent
word that she was to be Invited for Christ
mas and was to make her itome with them
forever.
Such women as Aunt Mary need never1' be
alone. She has accomplished the most sub
tle and charming of all feats that of grow
ing old gracefully. There are some people
who have a rooted horror of growing old,
but if age were always exemplified as in
Aunt Mary's case it would be robbed of Is
terror.
TsrLlik Women In American Eyes.
Miss Isabel Fry, who has known many
men and women who had lived for years
In Turkey, and supplemented what she
gained from them by close observation dur
ing a few-weeks' stay In the city of Con
stantinople, has written the result of what
she has gathered for the Englishwoman
and gives it to the public for what it is
worth, concerning the "new woman In Tur
key." One of those with whom she made
acquaintance was earning her living by
teaching- the Turkish language and liter
ature in a large school where girli- In he
upper classes are trained as teachers since
Turkish "girls are now more or less occu
pied, like those of other countries, in earn
ing their living. This woman also teaches
In the American college. Miss Fry speaks
of her as the only unmarried woman sup
porting herself with whom she came in con-
tact. thoiiRh she saw many n!ei who
were either quite young or exiiciucly old.
but Miss Fry believes it cannot be usual
for a woman to do paid work of a profes
sional kind.
Leliha Hunouln. as she goes about her
work, Is unattended, but shrouded In her
veil, und Miss Fry's acquaintance was lim
ited, owing to the fact that her Turkish .ac
quaintance spoke no foreign language. She
did, however, make the. to her, astonishing
discovery that there are what we term
"old maids" In Turkey,- and learned thil
the teaching in the Turkish school is 'iot
satisfactory to the ambitious. It appea
that Leliha Hanouin does not represent
after all though she walks alone on 'he
street, and earns her liylng the type of the
pronounced Turkish woman of today. Those
may be seen riding through the str)ei
with their husbands nnd paying calls wll't
them. One Is mentioned who lias fre
quently traveled to and from Egypt and
has entertained English women as guests,
yet who prefers Turkish ways rather thai
those of tho European. Yet she is said to
know English well, has published a novel
In it, and translates bonks on travel and
politics for her husband. This is Interest
