world that make life attractive, and il;
Is the little acts Of courtesy and con-
stderaton on the part Of the husband
which deepen3 her love for him, height
ems her respect for other men, and
makes her daily and hourly grateful
to God. through whose infinite wisdom
her life and that Of her husband we're
brought together. Marriage is never a
failure In homo where consideration
fills the minds and lives of the hus-
band and wife. It Is golden bond be-
tween them which brightens years, and
binds them together when they are alb
sent from one another.
Kind words are the music OF the

to be beyond natural causes. It seems
as IL they could almost do what in

| think that a person who tries to
shoot burglar In his own houce Is
foolish. It Is even more hazardou, than
running ahead Of teams on the street,
Suppose one should tumble down. No
driver has such command over his
horses that he could stop them soon
enough to prevent an accident. It al
ways makes me nervous to see some
smarty 90 lodging under the horse
nose. Now, burglar has nine out Of
ten advantages over the man being bur
glarized. The burglar Is wide-avake,
on tho alert for danger, has his means
OF escape perfectly planned, and Is
around for anything that may threaten
him or cut off his escape. The man
being burglarized IS usually awakened
from a sound sleep II he awakas 1t
all, and is naturally in a dazed COG 81
ton. This Is proven from the fact that
about three-foafths of the men thus
aroused, WHO shoot at burglars hit
some member OF the household instead
In two cases out of three, of the re-
naming fourth, are themselves hit by
the burglar. In other words, about one

Notes.

A small, close round hat has a tur-
ban-shaped brim Of fine jets. The
crown is puffed chiffon. The trimming
Is of very short ostrich tips curled into
rosette shape. These are set around
The sides Of the hat, and long plume
falls over the back.
A round hat Of satin braid has a
moderately low crown and trimming
OF at least ten loops CT wide Dresden
ribbon set ut one side and falling over
the crown. Three very full ostrich tips
are set at the other side of the crown
and fall toward the front.
Chstelaine belts OF gold and silver,
with numerous pretty but useless pend
ants, in the style of those worn fifteen
years ago, are revived, but the tinkle OF
silver trinkets makes music for envious
ears. Scissors which refuse to cut, thin
bic cases never opened, vinaigrettes
without any salts fan and bouquet hold
ers, are all in their accustomed place
But the new chatelane bag made OF
various Kinds Of fancy leather Is a thing
for use as well as beauty. Bags Of liz
ard skin and tan suede. with gold silver
or aluminium ornaments, are especially
desirable. Some are fastened securely
to the belt and others are held by
metal clasp.
To make ordinary cloth waterproof
put half pound Of sugar OF lead In
pail Of rain water, with half a pound
Of alum; stir at intervals until the wa
ter becomes clear, and then pour It off
into another pail. Put the cloth or gar
ments into it and let them stand
twhty-four hours. Then hang the
clothes up to dry without wringng
