The high coat of living has made turtles, husbands and varioua other luxuries
prohibitive In price, has forced many housewives to find substitutes for these once
familiar articles of daily consumption. Real turtle soup la now only served by
Pittsburgh millionaires, while genuine husbands ranrly appear except up the
tables of chorus girls.
Happily, however,, many women have learned to concoct a delectable dish
railed Moelc Husband, which Is economical, agreeable to the taste, and can only
be told from the genuine article by divorcees who have spent two or more sea
eons In Reno, and have thus become connoisseurs.
There are several, ways of preparing Mock Itusband. Some women make
this dish by taking a small and measly looking man. of the human shrimp
.variety, and dragging him up to the altar, after which he is never heard of
'gain, except as his wife's himband and the children's father. In such cases
the Mock Husband Is not served as a separate course, but Is used merely to give
a certain flavor to the family stew, or aa an ornamental garnlah to the domes
tie platter. Women who Ilka this brand of Mock Husband are of the kind who
serve one small bottle of champagne to eight people at dinner.
' Another variety of Mock Husband Is male bar selecting a man for a husband
who was born too tired too work, and who does not mind seeing a woman labor
to support him. This style of .Mock Husband Is a great favorite with elderly
! women, who held that If you pick out mere boy a. as a basis tor the plat, and
serve them up with a rich enough sauce of creature comforts, you have a dish
that is quite as good is real husband
and of a much more piquant flavor.
The difficulty, though, with this
plst Is thst young Mock Husband ls
exceedingly Indigestible, and sure to
disagree with old maids and widows,
Snd cause them trouble.
The best way to prepare Mock Hus
band, and the way followed by our
loading Suffragettes and Purs Pood
Experts is as follows:
First, begin by seeing that your
.utenslle for preparing this dish are
thoroughly in order. Put sufficient
money in your purse, and see that you
.have a nice, comfortable place to live.
Then buy a parrot that swears. Oet--one,
If possible, that has a large vo
cabulary of words that begin with a
big D. See also that it is Instructed
to use the phrsse "any fool ought to
know better than to do that" con
inually. If it repeats this marital
catchword over and over again all the
( evening, so. much the better.
Next, get a dog- that growls when you speak to him, and that snaps at you
when you set a nice plate of food before it, and try to pat his head. Be very
careful to see that the dog Is a good growler, because most of the success of the
I dish depends on this ingredient.
Then add a rusty cash register tht shrieks, and moans, and threatens to
break into a thousand pieces when you try to get a nickel out of it, and that
hands out a penny when you punch the quarter lever. ,
Next stir in a cat that stays out at night, and that you have to ret up and
open the door for about 3 o'clock O. M., then add a chimney that smokes, and
. that blows the smoke in your face. x
Steep these ingredients In a sauce made of one barrel of miscellaneous ob
jections to everything you want to do: one gallon of acid criticism of everything
that 'you have done; one iurt of ridicule of your opinions; a bushel of chest
nutty Jokes that you have heard a million times, and that are. only brought
out when company comes, and throw In plenty of knocks of your family and
friends, and caustic remarks about how much it takes to support a family, and
what a fool a man is to get married. r : .-
Flavor this mixture with a beery breath, and spice It with poker games and
a little sidestepping, a rut set the, whole away in a cool place- In the house to con
get, fcnd ytwwtll'havi'i olsh of Mock Husband that ninety-nine wives but of a
hundred .could not toll from the genuine one they have at home.'
' Hock Husband Is a favorite article of diet with Bachelor Girls, many of
whom prefer it to the real article on the ground that Mock Husband never dis
agrees with them, or causes them any heart burning, or other symptoms of in
digestion of the affections. Also it is much cheaper than real husband, and more
nourishing. In proof of which they point to the fact that the women who live
en Mock -Husband are generally much better dressed, and sleeker, and have a
much less careworn and haggard expression than those who derive their subsist
ence from the genuine article. ., ,.
..Another advantage of Mock Husbandand Is that you do not have to partake,
of it at every meal, but can vary it with other things, whereas the housewives
who have Invested their entire budget In real husband are forced to consume It
dally, no matter how monotonous it gets, nor how tired they become of it.
Mock Husband can be highly recommended as a good substitute for real
husband, which is fortunate, as it becomoes harder . and harder to get the
genuine, and doubtless the time will soon come when the only specimens of
bona-fide husbands will be preserved in museums In alcohol.

& The Object of Life &
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX
A very woldly old woman once said
that the object of life was to love her
husband, to preserve her figure and to
enjoy life as well as she might

Borne girls think that the moat unjust
thing- In the whose mismanagement of

looking for a mate, while a woman has
to wait for one to find ber. Probably
this t the greatest blessing Providence
Lhas bestowed upon us. The men exhaust

man they choose. " The only complication
arises when two women fix on the same
parader. And the . only trouble and
tragedy comes when girls are so unfortu
nate or so foolish as to want a man who
belongs to some other woman already.
But the girl who cares sincerely for a
worthy man mark you, "a worthy man"

life la winning hearts and casting them
aside, will win bun If she, too. Is worthy.

Just wrong.
We are women, my dear girt, and It

Judge life- broadly and logically will
tell you that tho finest thing In life
Is to be. properly mated with a noble
man. This does not mean that you
must grow to be a husband hunter or a
scalp-hunting flirt. . The truth is that
men and women need each other to
complete and fill their natures. Home
making Is still the chief department In
life for the normal woman. And the
normal -woman marries because by her
sheer womanliness she charms and wins.

Whet Is mesnt by "fashion?" When
did fashion begin? la It a law Imposed
on the many by the few or Is It a law of
human nature? These are x Interentlng
questions.
The Instinct
r ' , to improve on
" ItV nature, or at
' V4 least to change
nature Is easily
r.y traced back to
primitive racea.
The African
tribes, accord
ing to the re
ports of travel
ers, enlarge the
sire of the lUs
b y mutilating j
them, stick darts through the nostrils
and' rings through ths ears, and some
tribes chsnae the shape of the head by
bandaging It during infancy. The Amer- j
lean Indian painted his face, the Chinese
iom)i eneed the feet of their women, and
so on. If we study the hablta of past
rlvllliatlons we find everywhere soma at
tempt to pervert the normal or to call
attention to some anstointeul peculiarity.
When we look at the history of modern
civilisation we find many cases of per
versions from the lovely. The fact that
the atandard of beauty aeems to differ
In different ages and climes Is often used
as an argument to excuse freak fashions
we will like them when we get used to
them. As a rule we rarely have time
to get used to them, so quickly are they
followed by some other phase of the
changing modes.
There Is, after all. only one enduring
standard of beauty and that la. healthful
nature. We admire the roae because It is
fresh, unsullied, without mar or hlemlah.
Any taint of disease, of abnormality In
beast or vegetation and bol'.i are die-carded.
The human figure in youth and health
Is the standard of beauty, and any fash
Ion that does not develop so as to pre
serve and protect these lines' Is devoid of
aeathetlo qualifications. The crinoline, the
bustle, the hour gless corset, the fashion
able modern shoe are fsshlons thst dis
tort nature and are nothing more than
examples of abnormalities imposed on
women by om invisible despot
Is the civilised world in this respect
very far removed from the savage T Crin

women not the best clsss certslnly, but
a sufficient number to attrsct attention-
have worn colored hair and made up
their faoea with tinted paint and powdee
that did not In the least pretend to sup
plement nature. Barbaric 'and ugly, we
all agree after the fad la over. But. un
til women develop a higher aesthetic
sense in regard to clothes,, we can never
be sure that the next whim of fashion
may not be equally ugly and abnormal.
Household Hints

- Dear Miss Fairfax: I am a young lady
18 years of age and considered pretty. For
the past year my employer, a youug man
of S7 year a, has been courting me, declar
ing his love frequently. I do not know
whether he is sarlous and ask you how I
can find out his Intentions, aa I lova him
dearly and think It a waste of time If his
intentions are not marriage.
. bRUNKTTE.
when an honorable man tsiis a girl lie
loves her, it is understood that he wishes
to marry her. Unless . your employer
snakes his honest Intentions clear you
afeould be on your dignity. Don't let him
eel that you are hie Inferior or that he is
ndescendlag to you.
Helta-lea aai Love.
Dear Mlaa Fairfax: I am a young girl
and I am going with a young man two
years my senior. We love each other
dearly, but there Is a barrier between us.
I am a Cathollo and he is a Protestant.
I won't ask htm to become a Cathollo, but
I do want to be married by tlie priest. If
he wouldn't compromise with nte and
Just take enough Instructions to be mar
ried by a priest, should I try to forget
hliu? RKADB.K.
Tour case is not peculiar, but one of
frequent occurrence. Religion should not
baperfn!tter to defeat your love. 1 know
that there la a dlvergenoe of opinion on
the point, but the fact is generally ad
mltted that the marriage ie binding and
valid, no matter whether it be performed
by Cathollo or Protestant minister, or by
a civil officer.' Nor Is there anything in
marriage that ought to require one or the
other of the contracting parties to glvo
up hla or her religious belief. If the
Christian religion teaches anything it Is
that there are many roads leading to the
same heaven. Try to arrange the matter
with the man you love, but do not let a
mere difference In belief separate you.
How to Propose,

upon her life. I think ehe would have
gone mad If she hadn't tried to be happy.
And aha succeeded, partially enough, at
any rate, to keep her face smooth and
rosy, a pleasing, wholesome mask for the
dread and anxiety within those tenants
that nevsr lefi her breast. -
We were walking along ths neat boule
vard of a young suburban town. '''Aren't
those red leaves beautiful T' she said,
smiling at them, as though at the face
of a friend, and when a chubby cheeked
babe passed, us In a, peramhulator she
tossed him a shrub and thsy laughed a
gurgling little laugh together. This
woman t noticed never talked about the
past. I spoke of the trait onoe and she
said: ."No... I won't Join the grave dig
gers." .When we turned the corner where
stood her home a shadow crossed the
rosy face. The dread was stirring in her
heart. Would her husband be at homo
and It there would his face have the
tell-tata flush and his eyes tho uncer
tainty that so often accompanied his
return from the city? But It wag driven
away the next Instant by my remark
about his Isst esse In court.
"I have heard that hla plea wag bril

"Tea." she said, "I have always been
very proud of my husband." .'. i.
I watched her go .In at the door and
close It behind her, and I wondered
whether the dread and anxiety had been
realised. J3ut at any rate she had en

She had laughed for a . happy moment
with the chubby-faced baby. And aha
had dwelt for an Instsnt'on the man,
her msn, at his splendid best.' She had
tried to be happy. 8he had been on a,
little vacation of the spirit and. been for
the time refreshed.
The other woman had not born a tenth
of the weight of grief of this brave soul.
But she had chafed and ' fretted and
scolded and whined away her strength to
bear the load allotted her. At last the
doors of a mad-house had closed upon
her. Her friend's words were the epitaph
of her sanity.

Happiness isn't a state of things that
surrounds us. It is a self -formed habit.
We can train ourselves to happiness. We
can learn to enjoy the vividness of the
leaves in autumn, the laugh of tha pass
