Hats to Wives on the Way to Charm
Their Husbands.
The Arabs have a saying that there is no
such thing in life as trife, and the wise
and observant become more impressed as
each year slips by with the truth Of the
proyerb, which we vary in saying that
tri6es make up the sum Of life. A pleas
ant home is not the result SO much Of one
or two happy circumstances, but Of a thou
sand little conveniences. thoughtful acts
and loving foresight, which go 70 make up
daily comfort and happiness. Naturally rs
the mother is the home maker, IL Is on her
that the others lean. and to her that they
look for the sunshine.
Many q mother whose heart Is wrung
by the waywardness of her children

ton, 81 am sure | meant TO be a good
mother, and why is home so distasteful TO

or WEAKNESS and pettishly repulsed jim
my when he would have eonfded this or
that temptation 10 me when l might have
strengthened him against it, or drove my
girl to seek improper associates from being
too wrapped up in my own little ailments
to draw her young heart to me-" oh, sad,
so sad, poor mothers, who honestly thought
they did their duty toward their children.
and indeed who did in all save the little
things-the sympathetic word of interest,
the pause in the busy day to hear timid
confidence, all little things in truth, but
great, great in the scheme of life.
How many a family quarrel button
missing from my lords shirt has caused;
how many a man has found a dainty, well
cooked dinner with which his wife has
really taken pains, all distasteful, because
she did not remember that he did not like
onions in the soup or oil in the salad In
reasonableg Yes, and a little thing to put
him out, but who, dear madam, finds the
grain of sand in the eye less irritating be-
cause of its minuteness, and have not you
yourself had all your pleasure in your new
bonnet destroyed because the ostrich
plumes and the ribbon were little differ
ent in colorl Ii was so little that no one
but yourself probably ever noticed it, bat
nevertheless you always hated that bonnet
and felt cross when you wore it.
Men are luxurious creatures, and the
wife nearest her husbands heart is she
who studies his comfort. Men may be
charmed, tantalized by, infatuated with
the beautiful, the witty, the coquettish for
a time, but it is the woman who keeps his
hose darned, who lays his paper on his
plate, remembers the exact number OF
Jumps of sugar, and the quantity of cream
he likes in his coffee, who avoids the sub
ject of Jones success in the very under
taking be himself failed in, because she
knows it is not pleasant-this is tbs WON
an who takes permanent possession Of his
heart, rules il through never letting him
suspect she is aught but his humble hand
maid, and when she dies is mourned and
missed sincerely.-Cor. st. Louis Globe
Democrat.
