woMAN's BEST SCHOOL OF, LEARNING.
1 haven't word to say against women learn
ing all they want, but even after matriculation
there is a school for every human being to go to,
and that is the famous one of experience. These
girls come out of college with a ''know-it-all'
idea, and they suddenly discover that neither
Greek nor Euclid will do so very much toward
making them earn their own livings, nor will
full and complete history OF the lost tribes of
Israel teach them how to make an old frock look
like new or to do that very delicate art known
as washing the baby. "Oh, no ]" says somebody,
s'Bab's off on her same old fad" Well, yes, l
am | do believe in giving girl the very best
education possible, but [ cannot be brought to
see that that is the education gained in the col
lege. There have been brilliant women,
women who have made great successes in
life, women who are charming socially, who
tions. These are the two and three out
of three and four hundred. Somebody argues,
"Do l make the bread any worse for knowing
the laws of chemistry ?'' Probably not, but do
''Shall I become nothing but a cook and q
drudge?" Just as you fancy. A good cook is
usually queen of her dominion and not a drudge
by any manner of means, and good wife, such
as you want your son and mine to get, is the
woman who, when he is sick, knows how to
make little dainties to help cure him. knows
how to measure his medicines properly, and
isn't exploiting her chemistry on the doctor

for his next dose of medicine. "But," says the
objector, lean you cook ?' To be quite honest,
l can only do two or three things well.

half the restaurants in the various big cities
know how to do, and | can boil potato and
know when it is done, and no establishment is
going to starve where they can get these two

WHAT MEN WANT IN A WIFE.
Culture is very well for the well-fed man who
can go to sleep over it, but hungry man does
not want Browning and Euclid, the Latin Gram
mar, and the Greek Testament, ne wants beef
and potatoes. Heresy? OF the rankest but

can express myself with truth and distinct
ness. It's true that L do believe that ''woman
with the heart'' gets far away the better of "man
with the head" and using Mr.. Tennyson's
| quotations as text, the average young woman
| is advised to cultivate cool head and warm
| heart. Her heart may be hit now and then, but

things. They can be pulled here and there,
rent with anguish SO to say, and then something
delightful will come that will prove an absolute
ointment, and behold they are in better condi-
tion than ever before. Give me red roses and
heart girls If the average young man will put
that on the banner which he bears he will get
wife who will love him and whom he will
honor and obey without ever knowing he
