I wonder if many women hav fupsy
)iusbanda I am marrifd to a man who
nait and that la the chief cause of our
iuarrela.
1 have always thought that a woman
who nags and fuaaea la bad enough, but
a man who has these habits is a hundred
tlmee worse than th woman who has
them.
My housekeeping and management of
my home are the things about which my
husband worries. Perhaps the difference
in our ages has something to do with
this. He was 40 when I married him and
, I was but 2. I did not realise then that
he might be what the country people
would call "set in his ways." Ho had
lived at home with his mother, who was
a model housekeeper. The year after her
death we married.
I mention theae facts simply by way
of explanation of the truth that he Is
, more partlculur than I.
When we acltled In our house I did not
suppose that he would ever trouble him
self as to how It was run. My father
always left that kind of hlng to my
inothT. Hut Andrew, my hunbaud. Is
different.
We had been married only a month
when wo had our first quarrel on this
score.
"My dear," Andrew said reprovingly at
, 1'ieakfast. one morning, "as I came
'downstairs Juxt now I noticed some cob-
webs In the corner of the hall, close to
I the celling. Will you have them brushed
'away, please?"
! His tono irritated mo slightly and 1
; replied, "Why, yes, of course 1 will,
when I get around to them. I noticed
Ithem myself yesterday and meant to at
tend to them anyway."
"1 am surprised," he remarked, "that
you did not brush them down as soon as
you saw them."
i "I bad other ihiiiKs to do at the time,"
'J to'lfl him.
I Ho folded his lips In the thin line of
disapproval with which I have since
become familiar, and I knew that ln
Iwardly he was criticising my housekeep
ing. I pretended not to see this an
began to to talk of other things.

A few nights ago, I was very tlmd and

spoke my name sternly.
"What's the matter?" I queried, start

on the kitchen table the cake plate with
the sliced cake on it. Just as It came out
from the dining room after dinner."

"Well, what if she did?" I rejoined. "I
cannot help it."
"Tou ought to help it," he declared. "I
have put the cake away In the cake-bos
myself. Not only Is such carelessness un
tidy and extravagant, but It attracts
mice and .water bugs."
I said nothing, but turned over with a
sigh, and closed my eyes. Tet Andrew
lingered.
"You will speak to the maid about it
In the morning, of course?" he persisted.
I was weary and nervous and tha last

Smell is perhaps the most occult sense
that man possesses. Among other ani
mals It Is often mu-.h mora highly de
veloped than with us, and Its purpone. Is
apparently, more utilitarian. . It Is suf
ficient to recall the marvols acconillnhed I
by tho dog with the sole aid of his nose.
Among mon this sense seems to serve
principally to give pleasure, although It
'AJao serves tha opposite purpose of ex
citing disgust, which Is often a kind of
warning.
I'pon the keenneaa of this aesthetic
sense depends the whole art of perfu

"William A skin son, In his book on 'Tcr

of the art of perfumery.
The andent Hebrews doveloped It
highly In connection with their religious
observances. Athens waa famous for its
exquisite perfumes, and especially for
those carrying the scent of tho violet.
One of the names for Athens was "the
vlolnt-crowned city." Solon, the Athenian i
lawgiver, found It necessary to forbid (
the sale of fragrant oils to his masculine
fellow cltisens, although he refrained
from Interfering with the women's fond
ness for perfumes.
Among the luxuries Romans, when
they began to rest from the conquest
of tha world and turned to the "enjoyment
of its most delicious fruits, tho art of
perfumery reached a wonderful stage of
development. In Cn.pua there waa a
whole street given over to the perfumers.
Roman gentlemen anointed themselves
with scented oils three times a day. It

wife, Poppaea, he used aa much odorous
