She finds one of the sockets must be
moved little. 1t "sets in" too much at
the bottom.
She has put the screw-driver and gim-
let away, woman-like. A man now would
have left them right there on the floor
till he had wanted them again, SOS to
have them handy. There is great diff
ference in the way man does things
when compared with a woman's way.
She brings them back, and gets out the
screws, and starts them right, and then
the handle of the screw-driver comes out

She drives it in with the tack-hammer,
and proceeds. At last the curtain is up
and it will roll if you hold on to the bot
tom of it and sort of coax it along but no
Impractical hand should ever touch it.
And the woman who fixed it will brag
next day to her friend about the way she
can handle tools. and point to that cur
tain as an example of what she can do
and they will compare notes on their
husbands, and decide that one smart wo-
man is worth two men.

A Poets Married Wife.

A writer in The London Athensatna, dis
coursing on the recent death of the widow
of Walter Savage Landor, says:
"In 1910 Julia Thuillier was a bright
eyed little girl of 16, not much in society
perhaps, but still famous for having
softer, thicker, richer curls' than any
woman in Bath at time when curls
were at premium there. She had other
qualities equally in demand, for, though
without shilling she had already had
two of the most brilliant offers of mar
riage, one from person of distinguished
rank, the other from one of the richest
commoners in England. Julia Thuillier,
however, seems to have been of a roman
tic, or rather, perhaps, of a self-indulgent
turn, for she rejected the millionaire and
the nobleman for the rare luxury of mar
rying poet. AS usual in such cases, she
suffered for the self-indulgence.
"Landor could never really feel that he
was old or getting old this, very likely, is
the peculiar privilege of genius.
The good are ever young.
says Marie de Meranie to Philip Angus
tus, in DIR. Marston's fine play. But, un-
cisely those who never can take that view
of matters. Lander and his wife had the
inevitable family quarrels and made them
up. Indeed, seeing how little of sympa-
thy there was between them, they really
seem to have been, for a long time ex-
ceedingly forbearing with each other.
Most people who knew Mrs. Lander as a
young woman speak of her amiability and
sweet charm of manner. must do this

in one of his letters, to say that saw

marriage, during long journey through

SELF But it is pity that women cannot
for the comfort of men who never grow
old, remain pretty girls during life.
STILL the family jars seem never to
have been serious till 1914, when Landor,
considering it necessary to depart from
England, and being met with objections
to the step from his wife, q quarrel en-
sued, in which his wife, in the presence
of her younger sister, struck home kind
of blow that was sure to rankie in his
breast till the day of his death she twit.
