The Absent Wife.

b What ftmc. of preparation the house
hold has been in for month! The las
odds and ends of the winter wear hac
to be packed away, and once more the
Cdor of camphor was elsewhere. Those
dainty articles of uertu which tempt the
wrong end of the maids dust brush
were to be put beyond reach. The fam.
lily plate (auction, perhaps) must bt
locked up where thieves could not
break through and steal. The dressma.
ker has sent home all she had finished
There are fearful complaints of insists
and charges Of bad faith-''no woman
ever did have such an abominable time
with dressmakers 1t is almost train
time. The carriage pulls up at the
door, and the good man of the house
bundles in the wife, the nurse, and the
young and loudly protesting baby. She
is gone off for the summer for the bene
fit of her health, poor thing! She has
told him that the separation will kill
her. but he bads her bear up under il
for his sake.
The scene shifts, discovering her with
in sound of the roaring pillows, trying
to bear up under it for his sake. What
pretty young mother picture as she
wheels the little coach for at least five
minutes after breakfast, baby imbedded
in laces and frills, her own attire as ele-
gantly simple as money and artistic
dressmaker could make it. And with
what maisoIly air she yields to the
gentle persuasion OF that pbliging, SYM
pathetic young man whose heart is
grieved to see her running her health
trundling a coach and keeping to her
room. How he points out to her the
roomy grandeur Of old ocean, as they
stroll along the beach. The little shells
that he picks up and places in her hand
tell a story of their own. Even in the
bath he does not neglect her, to the
envy and malicious speculation of un-
married, but less attractive, ladies with
out escorts. Against the heaviest break
ers he supports her as the stone wall
the clinging vine. Woman is no match
for the walters at summer resort, and
the attentive young man sits beside her
TO see that she gets the full worth of her
husbands money. Then there are long
drives that end all too soon. He is with
her at the hop, and the madness of their
whirl is the admiration of the young
sters and the CONSERVATION of settled
folks. After the hop, soft crabs and
cobblers, and then endless tete-a-tetes in
quiet corner of the piazza or stroll
on the starlit beach. Sometimes they
sail together, and she has been seen to
rest her seasick head upon his willing
shoulder.
When the husband runs down for
day, the obliging. sympathetic young
man is not SO plentiful as blackberries
in harvest; for the time he has eliminat-
ed himself, and the envious young girls
are .just dying to tell her husband all
about it. But these summer delights
come to an end, and whe4 she goes
home she throws her sunburnt arms
around George DEAR" and tells him
how she longed for him, and how stu
pill it was without him. But baby
thrived on the salt sea air, ana then she
had promised him to try to bear up I'M
der it for his sake.
What will not woman, gentle woman dare,
When strong affection stirs her spirit up!

The Human Hair.

Yes said ST. Louis barber in an
swer to question. .'there are good
many curious things about the hair.
suppose you believe, as most people do,
that frequent shaving will make the
hair grow on your face That is not So.
just think of it for minute and try to
explain to yourself how scraping your
face with razor can put new hair roots
in your skim What shaving does do is
to increase the thickness of the hairs al
ready there-notth their number In this
way frequent shaving makes the beard
somewhat thicker. But at the same
time, of course, it makes it coarser. A
Young freshman with little down on
his upper lip might spend his entire
time shaving himself and he could not
start the growth of a single new hair.
The beard is not nearly so troublesome
to take care of as the hair of the head.
The beard is so much smaller and thin
ner for one thing. There are about 290
hairs to quarter of square inch of
surface on the scalp, and only forty
hairs to the quarter inch on the chin.
Some of the hair follicles on the scalp,
particularly at the back of the head, are
what some BARRIERS call 'cow-hck.
This gives man heaps of trouble, but
it can be cured. Frequent brushing is
the only way to remedy it.
Hair dyes" he went on; "oh, yes, we
all have to use them more or less. /
generally make my own, but l could
buy just as good, though they would
cost more. If you take any half dozen
of the standard dyes you viii find they
are all substantially the same. Nitrate

Murat Ha1sted's Adviee.

To the inquiry: (Which is the most
correct way to ask young lady to take
your arm, and which arm are you to
offer?" Murat Halstead replies as fol-
lows:
Well, ask her to take your arm; do
not grab her by the elbow. You might
gently and softly inquire, "Will you
take my armP" 1t is rather solemn to
say, ''Please take my arm'-unless you
are afraid she is about to get hurt, and
you are substantially asking her to save
herself. In that way you may, without
impertinence, show tender solicitude.
AS to which arm to offer, other things
being equal, the one next your heart.
If you are taking her out to dinner,
something will depend on the location
of the DINING room and your place at
the table. If you are on the street, the
safest rule is to take the outside place SO
as to serve as body-guard against
runaway horses. The presence of a few
boys with velocipedes or tricycles on
the sidewalk might change the situation.
Above all things preserve your COM
posure-remembe that you are good
man and bear up bravely.
