The Putting on of Gloves.

A great deal depends on the first putting
on of gloves. Have the hands perfectly clean,
dry and cool. and never put on new gloves
while the hands are warm or damp. Where
person is troubled with moist hands, it is
well to powder them ere trying on the gloves;
but in most cases, if the hands are dry and
cool, this is not needed. First work on the
fingers, keeping the thumb outside of the
glove, and the wrist of the glove turned back
When the fingers are in smoothly, put in the
thumb and work the glove OF. very carefully,
then placing the elbow on the knee work on
the hand. When this is done, smooth down
the wrist and button the second button first,
then the third. and so on to the end. Then
smooth down the whole glove, and fasten the
first button. Fastening the first button last,
when putting on glove for the first time,
makes good deal of difference in the fit,
although it may seem but very little thing.
1t does not strain the part of the glove that
is the easiest to strain at first, and prevents
the charging Of the buttonhole, either of
which is sure to take place if you begin at
the first button to fasten the glove.
When removing gloves never commence at
the tips of the fingers to pull them off, but
turn back the wrist and pull off carefully.
which will, of course, necessitate their being
wrong side out. Turn them right side out,
turn the thumb in, smooth them out length
wise in as near as possible the shape they
would be if on the hands, and place away
with strip Of white canton flannel between
if the gloves are light, but if dark colored the
flannel may be omitted Never roll gloves
into each ether in a wad, for they will never
look as well after. There is always some
moisture in them from the hands; conse-
quently, when rolled up this moisture has no
chance of drying, and must work into the
gloves, making them hard and stiff, and of
very little use after, as far as looks or fit are
concerned-Boston Budget

Opening the Wife,s Letters,

Charles Dudley Warner, in replying to the
question, "Can man open his wife's letters?n
said that it would depend upon what kind of
a husband he is. 1 think it would be nearer
right to say it would depend upon what kind
of a wife she is. "Discretion is the better
part of valor," as many husband would
learn if he made SO bold as to open his wife's
letters.
There is scarcely wife who does not take
her husband sufficiently into her confidence
to tell him who her letters are from and to
read them to him, or, perhaps, let him read
them himself; but this is very different
matter from having them first opened, read
and passed upon by one for whom they were
not intended. Of course, many women
receive letters that never reach the
eyes of their life partners, not be-
cause they contain aught that would
not bear the light of day, not be-
cause the wife is afraid OF ashamed to show
them, but simply because they contain things
that are none of his affair. How often the
home letters are written only for daughters
or sisters eyes! How much of the family
cares can be told her that would be proudly
withheld from son-in-law or brother-in-law!
Then there are the letters from dear, init
mate girl friends, who pour out the secrets
of their heart upon paper for the sympathy
and entertainment of sweet Mrs. Jones, but
not for the eyes of sarcastic Mr. Jones. A
very laughable but sensible reason for wife
Withholding her letters from her husband
was given by contemporary not long since.
She said: ''These letters contain the con-
fessions of another SOUL the condolences of
another mind, that would be rudely treated
if given any sort of publicity. And while
husband and wife are one to each other, they
are two in the eyes of other people, and it
may well happen that a friend will desire to
impart something to discreet woman which
she would not intrust to the babbling hus-
band of that woman
That's the whole thing in nutshell. Bal

A Judges Sensible Words.

Judge Tuley occupies a position which
enables him, almost compels him, to collect
statistics as to the causes of divorce. In a
recent interview he said:
Il would not add to nor take away any of
the causes of divorce now given by the
statute. If it were practicable, would pro-
hibit by law any newly married couple living
with the parents of either within the first
five years. When left by themselves, their
characters sooner assimilate and they much
sooner learn that in order to be happy there
must be continual and mutual self sacrifices
and dependence of each upon the other.''
There is condensed in the last sentence the
result OF much experience by close thinker
A vast amount of unhappiness might have
been avoided if every newly married couple,
and the parents of each, could have been
made to know this before it was too late

that it is referred to in Isaiah 7:6, ''the
