A wlFE,s OBEDIENCE,
About tho Word Obey In the Marriage

About tho Word Obey in the Marriage
- service.
Much is said both wise and other :
wise, in reference to the obedience
which wife vows to yield to her hus-
band. Brides boast that they have
evaded the word "obey" and substi-
tuted ''go gay" say nay or somc
other of similar sound After her we'd
ding lady OF this kind remarked to.
Rev. F. D. Maurice, who had performed
the ceremony, Nov, Mr.. Maurice, |
call you to witness that ] entertain no
intention of obeying." Maurice an
swered with his sad, sweet smile: .Ah,
madam, you little know the blessed
ness of obedience. 81 ez
OF course, no one worthy of atten-
ton believes that it is wife's duty to-
obey when her husband wishes her to
act contrary to the dictates of con-
science. As little Is she expected to
conform to a standard of obedience and
service such as was laid down in con-
versation overheard between two chill
dren who were playing on the sands
together: Small boy to little girl-Do
you wish to become my wife? Little
girl (after refection)-Y Small boy
Then pull off my boots. - IS gH
On a great many points, however,
concerning the pecuniary or other in-
terests Of the family. the husband will
usually be the wiser and may most
properly be treaOed as the senior part
ner in the firm. A woman NAV like to
have her own way, but she has little
r.. ! 81 o,,d fR{uac In
to her in everything. The ideal wife
claims the liberty of being herself and
managing the house, but she never re-
fuses loyalty to an affection which
supports and protects her. Despotism
and obedience are indeed terms that
have no meaning in matrimonial slli.
ance of the right sort.
The word "obey" had not az great
terrors for the queen when she was go
| ing to be married as it has for the new
woman among her subjects. When
arranging about the service the arch-
bishop of Canterbury asked her majes-
! ty whether it would be desirable to
omit the word obey and she an
swered: II wish to be married as
woman, not as a queen" Some OF her
majestys subjects are not as subject
as she was in this respect. They do
desire to exercise sovereignty over
their husbands, and not prefer 10 reign
through service At a negro wedding.
when the clergyman read the words,
"love, honor and obey the brides
groom interrupted him and said: "Read
that again, sab, read it once mo-. sos
de lady kin katch de full solemnity OF
de meaning. Pse been married befo.'
Another man who had been married
before three or four times lit does not
matter which, except to himself), said:
"My first wife cured me of romance,
my second taught me humility, and my
third made me philosopher" None
of these wives could have caught the
full solemnity of the vows they took
when they were being married.
The vexed question of conjugai ope-
dience. was settled by Spurgeon in q
characteristic way. In an address at
the marriage of the daughter OF
friend, he spoke thus to the bride about
her future lord: "Let him be the head,
and do YOU be the neck, and turn him

Great Width Continued, but Trimmine
Tes Fina Less in Use. f : "a
Though q vast majority of skirts are
untrimmed not few of the newest
creations show signs of alteration in
this respect Founces appear on many
smartly made gowns broughtfrom Eu-
rope, and it is said that when trimmed
skirts again prevail, fionnces will pro.
vide the leading garniture. At present
two narrow founces, hardly more than
frills, are used. Three or five rows OF
satin ribbon, black, white or colored-
whichever the gown calls for-always
impart dainty finish to skirts of suit
able material. atitt fH
Black alpaca and black mohair skirts
are immensely popular this year, these
elegantly cut and hung, and lined in
color matching that of the blouse bod
ice. Shirts of this kind have in a great
degree superseded those of satin or
.crepony though these latter are still
worn in com bination with fame waists
of every known color and description.
Very handsome was "a black mohair
skirt lined with pale mauve silk, a
pleated frill of the same finishing the

black alpaca skirt was lined with pale
rose-colored silk, a glace silk blouse
bodice repeating the color, with a
blurred design Of violets, producing a
very stylish effect The sleeves, i'm

An almost incredible amount OF ma
terial goes into the fashionable dress
skirt, for the large flukes fall close to-
gether. 1t is only when the entire
width of the skirt hem is revealed that
any idea of the fullness and volume OF
these flutes is gained. Only an expe-
perienced modiste can cut such SKIRT
properly, which includes hanging 1t
successfully. Occasionally the at
tempts of "'prentice" hand are only
too palpable. The flutes fall away
from the back on each side, with a
tendency to droop there, those in the
immediate back, on the contrary, fail
ing short of proportionate length by
some inches. Nothing of the kind
looks worse, and the amateur who as
pires to dressing well would better
limit her ambition or exercise her pow
ers upon any other portion OF the gown
than the skirt of the season.-N. I.

Canned Gooseberries (green). As
these are usually canned for pies they
are better sealed without sugar, that

gooseberries should be canned as fol-

to each pound of gooseberries. Put
