Bare legs were the worst. The most

Champs Elysees and in the Bots the sight
is so common that no one turns to look
at it. Most Of the woman riders wear
stockings. but none wear leggins, at least
none of the several hundred that l saw.
Those who do wear stockings wear the
gayest stripes and plaids that they can
find. Some wear sandals on their feet,
others boots Of ordinary hight with Louis

Women may be charming, wholly devo-
ted to their homes and their husbands,
and yet be so tactless thoughtless and
aggravating as to drive husbands to the
extreme of misery. ANY observant bach
elor" says a writer in London Woman,
could recall numbers Of instances of wo-
men, who, from mere want of tact and in
teligence, are almost driving their hus-
bands mad by getting on their nerves.
They forget that busy men require abso-
lutte brain rest, change Of scene change of
subject. They forget that, however wor-
rying the little affairs of a household may
be, the anxieties of a great business upon
which the whole famlly's present and flu
ture depends are far greater. A friend of
mine, who is now nearly n millionaire,

1T is on such occasions that a man
wants a helpful wife-one who will tell
him about or read aloud the last ( cd

the theater tonight; you need change of
scene and above all, one who knows just
when her husband requires nothing more
than to be left alone. 1t is women who
get on their husbands nerves that drive
them to take bachelor holidays when they
ought to be getting more enjoyment from
the wife's companionship.
"Of course there are men who are al
ways out Of sorts. spoilt dyspeptjc bears
with sore heads. who require strong
minds to manage them, but there are
very many others who only want judic-
ious, sympathetic treatment to be the
best husbands In the world. Avoid being
silly. avoid saying silly things or trying
to make conversation, or commenting on
some remark your husband has made.
Read and think in order to cultivate in
telligence and resourcefulness with the
object in view of being his counselor and
his friend. and above all 'chum'-that
word means much"
