WoMANISH ANs WoMANLY,

There Is Serious Trouble Ia the Vanity
Family and Small Cause far 1t.
There Is house, and home, in city
suburb which has become divided
against itself .
And all because the mistress of 1t re-
fused on one occasion to coddle her hus
bands self love-
The facts are these:
Mr.. Vanity, to heighten his enjoy
ment of ain unselish evening with his
family, asked his wife mischievously
at dinner whether she wanted him to
stay at home with her instead of going
: to the club. The wife replied sweetly
that size wished it if he wanted to,
otherwise not.
MIR. Vanity had calculated that she
would give him a love look, blush and
say: ooh, John"' or something of the
kind. Her reasonableness disappointed
him. Indeed, it raised his ire and he
went about making her take it back.
l should think you would want me to
stay, anyway, whether l wish to or
not he protested. More sweetly than
before she assured him that while it
would give her pleasure to spend a
quiet evening at home with him the
hours would be robbed of all their joys
ii he did not remain because it was his
pleasure to do SO. His wishes were
first.
Wont you ask me to stay. then?"
mo- dear"
by thunder, I'll leave the house and
III go now"
She smiled.
He put on his hat and coat. He took
considerable time about it, too. When
they were nicely adjusted he returned
to the dining room and stated in
subdued voice that she had only to say
one word and he would take them off.
To which she replied in a voice that
was almost angelic that she expected
him to act his own pleasure in that, es
in all matters. To which he answered
Er1skly that he "did not suppose he had
married that kind of a woman" Short
ly afterWard the front door closed with
bang.
Mr.. Vanitys wife spent the evening
with her sewing and her little ones
Her husband returned about II
o'clock, but he made no reference to
his visit in town or the cause of it. Be-
fore the gas was turned out he asked
quite meekly whether she would not
like to see "Trilby" the next evening.
She said smilingly, but unenthusiastic-
ally, that she would. He then sighed
deeply, as one who has become relieved
of great burden.
But that did not patch up the trouble
and the man is out Of confidence with
himself. Of course, the point is that
she never answered him in such a way
before. And he wants to know whether

innovation in the Equipment Of Nov
and Speedy Yacht.
An innovation in yachting circles is
now being talked of, nothing less than
sails made of compressed paper, the
sheets being eemented and riveted to-
gether in such way as to form
smooth and strong seam. 1t appears
that the first process Of manufacturing
consists in preparing the pulp in the
regular way, to ton of which is added
1 pound Of bichromate of potash, rs
pounds of glue, 80 pounds of alum, 11a
pounds of soluble glass and 40 pounds
OF prime tallow, these ingredients be-
ing thoroughly mixed with the pulp.
Next the pulp is made into sheets by
regular paper making machinery, and
TWO sheets are pressed together with a
slutinous compound between. SO as to
retain the pieces firmly, making the
whole practically homogeneous. The
next operation is quite importan$ and
requires specially-built machine of
great power, which is used in compress
sing the paper from thick, sticky
sheet to a very thin, tough one. The
now solid sheet is run through a bath
OF sulphuric acid to which 10 per cent
OF distilled water has been added. from
winch 1t emerges to pass between glass
rollers, then through a bath of am
monla, then clear water, and finally
through felt rollers, after which it is
dried and polished between heated
metal cylinders. The paper resulting
from this process is in sheets of or
binary width and thickness Of cotton
duck, it is elastic, air tight, durable,
light and possessed of other needed
qualifications to make it available for
light sailmaking. The mode of putting
the sheets together is by having a slit
on the edges Of the sheet, or cloth, 50
as to admit the edge of the other sheet
When the split is closed, cemented and
rlVeted or seWed it closes completely
and firmly.
