with these women. Did it ever dawn on you
that if your husband were i'll of some dreadful |
disease you would nurse him faithfully through !
It? You smile, and say of course you would. |
Well, then, think of the drunkard as a sick man.
Do anything to save him. Let him know that
you stand by him to the very last. Hide his in
firmity from other people Pride is not bad
thing when means covering up somebody elsc's
wounds, and if you do your best, if you never
let any one speak to you of the great temptation
that comes to your husband, if you make your
boys and girls considerate rather than scofling,
you may make your home happy one even
with this grief Better pick man out of the
gutter and restore him to his sclf-respect as far
as you can than let him lie there with his own
gone aud yours with it, Forgive everything but
unfaithfulness, and before you Judge that think
over your own conduct and decide whether you
have so entirely done your duty that your hus-
band was strong enough to withstand tempta-
ton In married life even justice must be tenn
percd with mercy, and remember It's much better
to err on the side of mercy. The joy that is in
heaven over the one sinner that returns should
live in the heart of every woman when it comes
to the question of deciding what is and what is
not right between her and her husband.
PRETTY woMAS's SPRING BONNET.
To come down to a very frivolous though very
womanly topic, it may as well be announced
that the NEUROLOGICAL, more or less modified, is
obtaining in the spring chapeau. Tiny toques
fitting the head very closely aud with fanciful
wings arranged in front should be worn by the
feet-footed maiden who imagines herself close
kin to Mercury Helmet-shaped straw hats
ought to be solely dedicated to the feminine B.
A., for they were first worn by the Goddess Of
Wisdom, the sage Minerva. Fluffy, fancful
little bonnets with lace butterflies cooked just
in front were conceived from the frivolous brain
of Psyche, and curious little caps made of straw
lace and having, among lot of leaves, single
tiny red apple cannot be claimed by anybody
else but that fair woman to whom Paris donated
the prize for beauty. All these quaint concep-
tions are French to the last degree, and this last
bonnet is particularly chic, for it is combina
tion of primness and coquetry. Certainly no
one but pretty girl would dare to wear it, for
she of necessity announces herself as the prize
| beauty when she assumes the apple Miniature
potatoes are cited as the last novelty in the way
| of vegetable trimmings, but the most ardent
seeker after something new certainly cannot
think the potato was ever intended to decorate
the feminine head. When you buy your bonnet
do, for the sake of all the world get your milli-
ner to show you how to put it on, and don't let
it be placed forward when it ought to be back
nor allowed to wriggle about your head in that
uncertain way which gives you look decidedly
suggestive of having had little too much OF
something, even if it's only soda water.
AT LAsT-A SENSIBLE FAD.
BY the by, did you know that it was consd
cred rather smart for veryyoung women to have
simple tastes about things to eat? Arrayed il
her tailor-made suit, with her little toque on, the
| girl who wants to DO the swagger thing declines
at an afternoon anything stronger than milk ani
vichy, and with it she eats piece of brown
bread and butter. The butter must be abso
lutcly fresh and the bread must be sweet an,
homemade. Hostesses are extolling their breaC
and butter exactly as they might their plum
cake, and the girl who can make bread-really
make it, and make it goods very proud O
possessing a talent greater than that of paintin!
flowers, modelling in clay or writing mysteriou
or crotic books. Perhaps this fad came from tn
hearing of the pride which the Duchess of Fif
takes in the butter which she has made with he
own hands. Call this bread-makng fad if yo
will; it is nevertheless fad in the right direC
tion, and one to be encouraged.
NOT so SOFT AS THEY SEEM.
Bread and butter is by no means tasteless, an
though we are apt to apply that expression
insipd girls, books, or pictures it is very III
just one, and milk and water, which is not plea
ant to the TASTE and which does lack piquanc
+ is to be preferred; but milk and water, tastele
as it is would be chosen in preference to one
the horrible acids that eats away everything goC
, in life. You are not milk and waterish whe
y you prefer to talk about the weather rather ths
discuss scandals.
When you would rather be polite even to Il
most insignificant person than cut them.
When you think it more refined to wear qui
> clothes than to attract attention by the loudne
of your frocks.
!, When you believe the home and its society
= more important than the outside world or
=. people
- When you would rather know tiresome ge
!, tleman than an amusing scoundrel.
- When you fail to see anything funny in coars
;. ness, and believe wit can exist without maliC
= When you prefer to be quietly good and we
- hammered, to follow your best instincts, and
- choose your friends, your books, your pictur
- and your amusements with thought as
- whether they are the ones bitter with caustic
- those that are innocent and what your scohi
~ ncghbor calls milk and water.
~ BE wise, and choose the milk and water.
