The right kind of wife" is said to
be necessary to a mans success; yes,
and the right kind of husband is nee
essary to a married woman's happiness.
Miss GRACE DODGE, the founder of
the workingwomen's clubs of New
York, is tall and commanding in APP
pearance and has the action of train

Mrs. ALEXANDER BREMER, one of
the deputy factory inspectors of New
York, knows as much about machinery
elevators and ventilating shafts, heat

improvements, as any man on the force.
A CLEVER foreigner has said that in
France women are the interiors of men,
in England their equals, and in Ameri-
ca their superiors. An American of
the gentler sex, not too modestly, says
women are mems equals anywhere on
earth.
THERE is plenty of material help for
the remote pagan and savage woman,
but the friendliness and forbearance
that goes out to the poor ignorant soul

greatest charm, Any girl who makes
the acquaintance of man in an irregu-

A WIFE who knows many wives says.
"Some husbands, when they get home
at night, tell their wives all about the
business of the day, and about their
bank account, and about the people
they met, and about what was spoken
of, and about every thing else. other
husbands never tell their wives about
their doings during the day, never
speak of the state of their finances, and
never refer to their business in their
households. The wife of such a hus-
band knows nothing of his affairs, and
is apt to be upset by bad news or crush
ed by finding out that he is on the road
to ruin. From what | have known
! through my acquaintance with many
families for long years, am ready tc
say that husband should always tell
his wife about his business and about
the affairs of the day"
