A Wrinkle For Husbands.

The young wife of an engineer resid,
ing near the Thiergarten had gone to
spend the Easter holidays with hermoth-
er In Magdeburg and appeared SO well
satisfied with the change that she pro-
longed her stay, notwithstanding the
pathetic appeals of her lonesome hus-
band. At last our involuntary grass
widower devised an original plan for in
ducing his little wife to return to her
hearth and home. He got friend Of his
who kept camera to take a photo of his
house and send it to his wife, with let
ter stating that her intense longing for
home would no doubt be somewhat miti-
gated when she saw that the old place
remained as she had left it and that she
could now stay with her mamma as long
as she liked.
The very next train brought my lady
unannounced. greatly excited and &C.
companied by her mother. Whence this
sudden apparition? The photo in ques-
ton represented our engineer standing
in front Of the house and engaged in a
lively conversation with the young lady
next door, whose laughing features were
distinctly portrayed in the picture. Ex-
plantations followed to the effect that the
whole affair was joke, but madam did
not quite see it and staid at home instead
of going back to Magdeburg with her
mamma.-Berliner Tageblatt.

whnt Poets Need.

A whimsical letter written by ". S.
Gilbert notes "a great want" among
poets. 81 should like to suggest" he
says, that any inventor who is in need
of name for his invention would confer
a boon on all rhymcsters and at the same
time insure himself many gratuitous adj
vertisements if he were to select word
that rhymes to one of the many words
in common use that have very few
rhymes or none at all. A few more words
rhyming to love are greatly wanted.
Revenge and 'avenge' have no rhyme
but .Penge' and 'Stonehenge.' Golf has
no rhyme at all. 'Starve' has no rhyme
except (oh, ii.onyD carve Scarf has
no rhyme, though fully expect to be
told that laugh calf and half are ad-

Tho Cut Of the Summer Skirt.

Skirts are getting wider and wider
and being worn and still more worn. So
exquisitely are these wide skirts cut that
the ordinary onlooker has no conception
of their real width unless lady should
daintily lift the hem of her gown and
raise it to arms length outward to her
shoulder at each side, as the skirt dancers
do those accordion plated arrangements
in which they delight, and yet leave
enough fullness to fall prettily to her
feet.
Women of the past decade were igno-
rant of the art OF cutting. Making was
the great thing in their day, and then to
display the making, and the frills and
furbelows they distended their garments,
but now ideas hove changed, and though
women may go in for full underskirts
when summer weather calls for light
ethereal fabrics they will never, never
wear crinoline again. It is bad enough
that they have their old friend, the foun-
dalton, back again. Lining throughout
was SO much nicer. Fashions must
change, however, and no one could be 80
absurd as to suppose that women could
adopt the style and stick to it forever, as
some would like to. do for convenience
and economy.
There is not one scrap of clumsiness
,r bulkiness about the skirts. They fit
lutte closely around the hips and are
really pretty and graceful.-London Cor.
