HOW TO SPOIL A SPIRITED WIFE,

"Why did you speak in that way tc
your wife for, young man," asked Uncle
Rodgers, of his nephew,
Because it fun to see her spark up, "
replied the hopeful Benedict. Il like to
make her eyes shine, and her round
cheeks grow red as any damask rose.
And it's quite tragic the way she puts
her little foot down, and says Sir =
by the muses.. if you had staid long
enough, Uncle, I'd have shown YOU a
queen. You've no idea how grandly she
tosses back her fierce little head, or with
what a dido-like air she wrings those
delicate hands of hers. 1t quite breaks
the monotony of life to get up such a
tempest in blue sky. And so, as
know she owns this spunky temper, /
just touch it up with the spur-matrimo-
NAL, and let it gallop till | see fit to rein
it in"
"I've as good mind to root out that
sappling, Hal, and use it over your
shoulders, as had this morning to eat
my breakfast before you spoiled my ap-
petite. You are taking the sureSt way
w tuih hSii DIN uuS oiSdulLd.lON.-
Saving your presence, l despise the man
who thus tampers with a passionate but
living spirit. Look at your wife-how
delicate her beauty. Look at your house
hold-the very temple of taste and neat
ness. The little fixings on the mantle
the fringing and tasseling here and there
gave touch beyond the common to your
humble furniture. That lounge that
lends SO grand an air to your par,or, l
had set down for no less than at fifty |:
when, 10 it turns out that five dollars
and a woman's ingenuity deceived an old,
experiencedupholsterer like myself Then

her when she approaches them, as if She

BLOOMERs OUrDONE.

Miss Mary Il. Williams contends for
the rights of women to wear mems
clothes if they choose. In q letter re-
Gently published, she thus argues the
question and lays down the laws of good
taste in regard to the cut and color of
jackets and trowsers for the fair sex:
cit is, as L am informed, smisde-
meanor' for woman 10 assume the garb of
a man with intent to disguise her sex
the law presuming that such disguise is
intended to cover some evil design, but
lf no intention to disguise the sex is ap-
parent, then no otiense is committed.
Under thus Interpretation Of the law, it
will be seen that we are not, after all,
entirely restrained from wearing the male
style of dress. | hold that women should
wear this costume whenever and wherever
they choose to do so, either in town or
country, indoors or outdoors, OCCASION
ally or constantly. If the male part of
creation should find any trouble in deter
mining our sex, let them quit shaving
their faces, and then the difficulty will
be obviated. What kind of a male suit
may we wear g is a question that often
suggests itself to the timid reformers.
In answer to this, would say, wear anv
dress that you like; you have a whole
range of mems fashions to choose from.
Wear black, blue, or brown coats, in the
sack, frock or close-bodied form, as YOU
may prefer blouSes of gray linen, or
linen check; pantaloons of black drab
or blue cashmere, or of white or gray
linen buff, white or black waistcoats
and fur or straw hats, or cloth caps. All
these, and more too, are open to YOUR
choice. In Difference to good taste, avoid
striped, cross barred and snake and-toad
colored pants; let yours be plain, and
cut snugly to the form, without being
too scanty for the free motion of the
limbs. ESchew all kinds of tawdry waist
coats, such as we see sported by fancy
young men, A buff cashmere vest, with
plain, fiat, gilt buttons, is elninently gen
teel, and is always becoming; a plain
black vest will be found desirable to
alternate with the buff one. Ifyou wear
a blue dress coat, have 1T trimmed, by all
means, with plain, fat gilt buttons but
no other coat whatever should have me-
tallic buttons of any kind. Generally,
the sack-coat is preferable to any other
form of this garment; and for working.
the blouse is better than all. | do most
of my sweeping. and other housework, in
check linen blouse. For walking, and
riding, and driving, wear a blue sack
coat, buff vest and drab pants-a suit
which comes fully up to my idea o. neat
ness and comfort combined"
