Advantages for Culture.

Unfortunately the average woman does
not begin to appreciate the advantages
for mental, moral and physical growth
about New York. The big libraries in
Aston place, East Fifteenth street. the
Bowery and upper Fifth avenue are
perfect treasures of knowledge and de-
light. One has only to ask for a book
TO have 1t in a fortnight at the out

have 1t in t~wenty-four hours. Not
only are the bookkeepers obliging. but
gracious and intelligent. There Is a cir
culatlng musical library In Union Square
and one hours reading or rummaslng
among illustrated histories will double
the ~enjoyments of u concert or opera.

How She Reformed a Hubby.

To tho Editor:
In reply to 'Agnes's' inquiry as to what to do
to keep her husband home evenings, ] beg to offer
a few suggestions. In the first place. It would ba
we'll to have a bright smile on your face when he
reaches home. II there is anything will drive a
husband out evenings, 1t Is to sec his wife sit
around moping. Second, after the evening meal.
strike up some humorous discourse. and IL you
still sec your husband casting longing glances
towards his hat and coat. try TO amusc him with
some innocent game. such as ~bean-bas or p~srcbesi.
II that doesn't bring the desired result, then resort
to violent measures, such as tying his arms or
stationing a policeman at the door. When I first
married. my husband was very fond OF straying
from home evenings, but by pursuing the above
methods I gradually overeame his rambling pro-
ponsiiies. and 1t would be hard now TO find a more
"stay-at-home" family In Brooklyn.
