of Penny Wise for some time with u
considerable degree of interest, and she
has expressed my own ideas so often
that naturally concluded that she was

excuse for crossing that line.

Why a Wife Should Not Burden Her Hus-
band With Every Petty Care.
In married life there is no greater art
than to know just what to tell and
what to leave untold OF course there
should be in all things perfect conf
dence between husband and wife, but
this does not necessarily mean the daily
recital of petty annoyances, ailments
and unqualified desires Nothing-this
phatically-discourages man more
or takes more completely the life out of
him than to be informed of every de-
linquency of the cook, the house maid,
the chore boy, of the impertinence of
the milkman the hardness of the
butcher. If your good man comes
whistling home some evening don't let
the first word be of the kitchen ranges
refusal to burn or of your sick headache.
If you want to still the CHEEKY whistle
on his lips that will do it very effectu-
ally, but his heart will not grow warm
er toward you for the information. 1t
may be necessary to tell him finally, but

counts of the lovely bonnets Nine. Cha
peau has imported, and how you long
ed and was tempted by one perfect love
which was far beyond your means, and
how you felt when Mrs. Richman
bought it before your very eyes. Such
story to proud and affectionate man
is simple cruelty nothing else. You
may not see it, but your good, hard
working husband writhes under your
narrative of Mrs. Shoddy's openly ex-
pressed scorn of your old black silk or
your passe bonnet He may strain a
point and give up that visit he had
planned to see his mother and present
you with new gown and French
bonnet, but he will not love you any
better than if you had worn the old
ones cheerfully and patiently.
Men are much more observant than
women are apt to think them, and John

acts and works you never dreams he

there is never day that you are entire
ly free from pain and weakness, but
don't tell of each pang. Even the most
sympathetic and the kindest find them
selves struggling against growing in
difference when subjected to a perpet-
ual demand for sympathy; so make the
best of your ailments, and you will find
them growing lighter for the putting

THESE Accomplishments Are as Esschtlai Ss

1t is one of the vagaries of our orna'
mental training of girls that it usually
leaves untouched the simple, necessary,
every day matter in order to cultivate
what is occasional and often superilu-
Gus. Thus girl who walks abomin-
ably is taught with greatest care to
dance, and another whose speaking
voice suggests any thing but the Lorelei

is Just now n little movement in the di-
rection of teaching girls to do well the
ordinary acts which make upmost lives
1t is a tendency which ought to be
strongly encouraged. The vocal-cul-
ture classes and the Delsarte system of
aesthetic gymnastics may not succeed
in teaching all women to speak well
and to move well, but they at least
show dawning consciousness in the
world that these are desirable things
to do
1t is true, there is a prejudice against
this sort of training. Let young wo-
men be natural and unaffected" is still
the lament of many who ought long
ago to have found out that unconscious
grace" is nothing but hoary-headed
old humbug, made respectable through
poetic patronage. BY all means let
girls be natural and unaffected, but the
best way to do it is to train them in
such irreproachable habits that they
will never feel the need of affecting any
others. The mcnstrosity of company
manners" is easily analysed. A woman
who displays this most Objectionable
species of department does it because
she feels that her ordinary behavior is
unattractive, so she tries to improve it
by whatever impromptu methods occur
to her. 1t is mistake, of course. She
might as well try to cover up the fact
that she was ignorant of some foreign
tongue by plunging boldly into con-
versation in it.-Caroline Gray Lingle,
