A TROUBLESOME QUESTION.

The Manner in Which Woman Should
Speak of Her Husband.
One of the questions that married
woman often finds herself uncertain
upon, says the Courier Journal, is just
how she should speak of her husband
by name to others-when to speak of
him as Mr.. Jones, when to use his first
name and when to give him his title
Instinct will usually guide Alright any
woman of gentle breeding Most wom-
en- may be trusted, for example, never
to use their husbands Christian name
in speaking of him to any one, except
near relative or very dear friend of
both. But, sometimes, women who
should know better address their hus-
bands in company or before servants
by their given names.
In speaking of her husband, wom-
an never makes mistake if she calls
him "Mr" or my husband" 1t is
sometimes difficult to decide, when the
husband has title just what the wife
should do with it. This is the severest
rule: In spe aking of her husband she
should not say Gen A." or Or B."
but "Mr. A." 'Mr b." No matter
what he is-judge, governor, captain
to her he is and should be plain MIR.
A." Mrs. Grant never, even when her
husband was president, spoke of him as
other than Mr.. Grant, though it is the
custom of the presidents wife to speak
OF him as 'the president"
The one exception to this rule of ig-
noring her husbands official or profess
sional titles, is when the wife presents
him to any one else Then she says,
my husband, Senator Smith," or, SIM
ply CDR Jones'" The reason for this
is evident. 1t gives the proper clue to
the stranger, who would wish, of course,
to address the new acquaintance with
the proper title.
Last Of all, let any woman take heed
how she wears her husbands title and
allows herself to be spoken of as Mrs.
Governor Jones'" or Mrs. Secretary
Smith" No matter what title her hus.
band has, she has no more right to wear
it than she has to wear his shoes The

MY OLD RAG DOLL.


Last night searched the garrett for long
And as pried and peered about, down in @
dusty nook
found what made me all at once forget what
was after
And filed my eyes with springing tears and
stirred my voice to laughter.
And up took 1t wonderingly, with cobwebs,
dust and all,
And held 1t close against my heart
My old rag doll.
Oil DEAR forgotten childhood's ioyl Obi pre-
cious, long-lost treasured
cannot tell why such pain was mingled with
the pleasnre
cannot tell just why the tears fell fast from
eyes bent over
That dusty, dear, old-fashioned thing-I only
know love herl
l only know that "Polly" in her little ragged
shawl
Is mine once more-is mine again,
My old rag doll.
Dear relic of my childhood-of that happy, hap.
Ply time
When life meant play and sunshine and every
Joy was mine;
When care was all unknown to me- and every
bright tomorrow
was out an echo OF today There rarely came
sorrow,
But when my fair horizon acds stirred by sudden
squat
There was naught that gave me comfort like
My old rag doll.
The old, familiar, dirty face, with features done
in ink,
And the little faded ribbon tied with many a
childish prink,
And the dusty plaid merino of the little time.
worn gown,
And the tiny knitted stockings DER the shoe
tops slipping down.
There on the garnet floor sat and brooded o'er
them all
And longed for that sweet childhood with
My old rag doll.
And though l am woman, with a woman's
work and care,
And though look each morning for the silver
in my hair,
And all my golden childhood is but happy
dream,
Somehow to-day its perfect joys little nearer
seem
Since I found her in the garnet with the cob
webs dust and all,
That dearest relic of the past
My old rag doll

to act as proxy for her mother, looks
after the house, purchases the sup

Miss Foster also ably shares her
mothers duties in the line of market

before the arrival of her mother she
had put the large house in complete or
