The Home Life

The writer -and his brother aro presi

hank. Wo aUo conduct an Insurance
business. In addition, tho writer Is
president and manager of a trlephono
company, b e s 1 d o s
being Interested .In
various minor en
terprises. The writer
goes to hla office
every morning; at C.
lie happens to bo bo
situated that it does
not inconvenience
any member' of- hlB
family In doing so,
I return to lunch at
noon, and stay at
hornet with the fam
ily until I have had
my full hour. Wo
linlsh the day's work
it from 6. until 6.
The evening Is Inva
riably spent with the family, in nleo
weather and good roads we use the au
tomobile. Although a member of lodges
It Is very seldom that I go. I allow.no
business of -any kind to Interfere with
my oventngs or Sundays, as all of that
time belongs to my family. Every other
week I have one day from business. My
brother enjoys the same privilege. On
those days we do not' go to' tho office,
but spend the time at home with tho
Tamlly, or take them out for a ride, or
ipend the day In the woods, or any way
that we choose. At any rate,. It Is with
tho family. Business men,, as a rule,
will say that they cannot take a day
every two weeks from business. Tbey
can. Where there Is a will there Is i
way. We do It, and wo are always busy.
We have a thorough system In our busi
ness, Men owe it to their families to
tivo them more o"f their time, and to
add to their happiness, which, at the
tame time, adds to the happiness of the
ncn. There would be more happiness In
lie world If they would do it.
BUSINESS MAN.
This expression of one man's views of
home life is Interesting, and must come
as a surprise to our foreign visitors, who
jB
Especially rosed
are all.j more or,, lews, ImbuedyWlth tho
prova-'llng bfjle-f that American men are
so absoj-betl In business ,tinj; Uicy" never
Clve-any time-to-thalr families. .
In ovdry part o'f tho" World one hears
this Idea enlarged upon; hears the Amer.
lean voraan .discussed as a brilliant, ex
travagant, attractive .ahd neglected be
ing, and the American man- described. as
a slave to ambition, rhnlned fo Mam
mon' car, dragged through the' world
by tho Tyrant Finance, whllo his wife
and children sit at home, ulone, or.de
ndent upon others .for entertainment
Su' i men do exist In our busy now
or'd, but they are not tho prevailing
"PC
Th" writer of the lotttr quoted nbovo
exceptionally devoted to Ills family.
Doubtless ho has a wife who under
tands the nrt of keeping her husband
ntercsted. Sho knows how to muke her
c'.f so uttractivo aiid entertaining that
he enjoys IdmsrU better In her society
ban anywhero else.
That Is the greatest ot. all arts.
Such a woman, must bo of an amiable
isposltlon; she must havo a tense of
humor; sho must see tho fun in things,
and ehe must possess enthusiasm, tlm
enthusiasm which makes her show her j
appreciation for every littlo attention
and pleasure! sho receives. Then sho
must have good health and good spirits,
and not be forever complaining ot
rhyafcal or mental troubles. A.- m'a:i
may take a sick and depressed wife out
occasionally as a duty, with .pity ' and
kindness In his heart, but It could
ccarcely bo a constant recreation. .
No doubt, thU wife, expresses her ap
preciation of her husband's society, and
does not tako all his attention as a mut
ter of course. ' '
And without iiuestion she makes, hor
self sufficiently attractive u his oyps,.
so that he Is proud to be seen with her.
And she talks to hm of things which
entertain and amuse hjm, and she knows
how to listen to him "when ho talks.
Meantime, It Is not wise for two'pcop.e
to be perpetually in each other's society.
An occasional separation augments love,
and increase tho attraction between a
man and a woman, and between parents
and children as well.
Let our home-loving Business Man go
away on a little trip, or send his family
away for a brief outing .and discover the
added Joy life will possess when the re
union takes place.

The Real Saint
By FRANCES L. CARSIDE.
LIfo Is one 'long story of Injustice to
woman. She J ! discredited for every
failure, and man .Is credited with her
every success
The - littlo homagn .that has been done
to her has always ,had its little Joko tied
to It us' big as tho tin can tied -to a
country dog's tail,
Man flatferod her by making her a
symbol of Justice. Then ho tied a band
age; over her eyes to dtserrdit her Juog
ir.ents. Ho made her the symbol of lib
erty; hoping the compliment would-goothe
her Into forgetfulness of his refusal to
let her vote. Ho ma'do her the symbol
of patlenpe, because that Is a, virtue' of
which ho Is willing to let her 'havo a
monopoly. 7 '
Sho' invented love; ho stole tho idea
and mndo a boy child love's representa
tive. She Invontcd Christmas and ho
made an Insane-looking- man, too old to
hold any other political Job, the Christ
mas Kalnt.

But human beings with immortal eouIh
Must rise nbovo the methods of a brute,
And walk with reason and with self-control.
And then dear God! you men, you wise, strong men,
Our self-announced superiors in brain,
Our peers in Judgment, you go forth to war!
You leap at one anothor, mutilate
And starve and kill your fellow men, and ask
The world's applause for such heroic deeds.
You boast and strut; and if no song is sung,
No laudatory epic writ in blood,
Telling how many widows you havo mado,
Why then, perforce you say our bards aro dead

War
By Ella
m
And we, tho. women, we whose lives you aro
What can we do but sit in silent homes,
And wait and suffer? Not for us tho blare
Of trumpets and the bugle's call to arms
For us nd waving banners, no supreme
Triumphant hour ot conquest. Ours tho slow
Dread torture of uncertainty, each day
Tho bootless battlo with the same despair,
And when at best your victories reach our ears,
There roaches with them, to our pitying hearts,
The thought of countless homes made desolate,
And other women weeping for their dead.
O men, wise men, superior beings, say,
Is there no substitute for war in this
Great ago and era! If you answer "No,"
Then lot us rear our children to be wolves,
And teach them from the cradle how to kill.
Why should wo women waste our time and words
In talking peace, when men declare for war?
Mme. YorHkn In Two
By MAUDE MILLER,
What Is tho secret and how do you
tell? Oh, It is an absorbing topic, and a
very difficult question to decide. But
Madame Yorskn, that dear, etusively
dainty little French actress formerly of
the Theater Sarah Bernhardt, Paris, who
seems to bo well versed in tho subject,
has whlspored some very Important se
crets, which will, perhaps bqlp those, who
.are: more Inexperienced;''
Of ,oourBe, It . Isn't ulvcn jevcrypne to
havo, so many admirer.?- And now for
the secret. The-moBt Important thing In
the world for a girl to know about. Far
more Important than any beauty hints;
they are of secondary importance. What
Is it? Tho secret of understanding a man.
"O, mon Dleu, these mon," said Mipe.
Yorska, who at present Isjartlstlo director
of tho French drama society of New
York, clasping her hands and leaning
forward from the big couch where she
was curled up among the cushions. "They
aro like children; they come to us all
flushed with health and the Joy ot liv
ing, and often they have not an Idea in
their heads. But do they enjoy life any
tho less? Ah, no, and why? Because
they are unconscious of the fact. And
we women. Do we In our funny superior
way look at them askance? Ah, no; we
laugh very humanly, and long qulto
shamelessly to pet them as we would a
good child or a favorite Newfoundland
dog.
Is a mother. It Is not a celebration that
depends upon environment embracing a
toy shop near a 10-ccnt store. H de
pends solely upon the existence ot a
mother.
In the days of tho pioneer, when tho
nearest toy shop was hundreds of miles
away, thero was alwayB Christmas If
there was a mother. A string of beads,
won by a littlo cajolery or trade with
tho Indians; a cookoy man, a bright red
apple, a beanbag or a home-knit mitten,
saved the stocking by the fire from the
tragic droop of emptiness; and strings
of bright-colored corn, with winter
bouquets of dried grasses and wild ber
ries, gave the houso the look of Christ
mas cheer.
There Is always Christmas where thero
is a mother. It is an event that depends
not on any man. If It were left to man
to dress the Christmas dolls the fig-leaf
faBhlor would see a glorious revival, an.l
after two or three years of worry the
word "Christmas" would pass awuy to
find a resting spot In tho cemetery of
dead languages.
And your praise and gratitude for tho
allege! Christmas saint!

Advice to the Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
Art as If You Didn't Care.
Dear Miss Fairfax: I am 20, and al
though I know soveral young men have
never met a young man who seems to
caro enough to propose to me.
What shall I do In order to win some
one? BOItROWFUU
If you let thn men know you are on a
husband hunt they will carefully avoid
you.
Be a little Independent; find- such hap
piness In the society of women the men
will be interested in knowing' what you
are happy about. And don't worry be
cause no lover comes your way.' He will
bring sorrow as well as Joy when he does '
come.
Purely Friendly.
Dear Miss Fairfax: I am very much
In lovo with a young man five years my
senior. He has gone away to college and
writes to me twice a week. We are not
engaged, but he tells me how much he
cares for mo In every letter. Now 1 am
undecided how to answer his letters.
A. C.
Bo friendly, keeping a careful guard
on your pen. Write nothing you would
bo ashamed to see In print. If he still
loves you when his school days are ended
there will be many opportunities for
telling him that which it Is wiser never
to write.
