The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1900-04-29

pretty young creature, VINO mas Teen tHe
embodiment to his fancy of all that was
dainty and sweet, takes TO coming 10
breakfast In dowdy, dirty wrappers and
with her hair done up in curl papers that
she doesn't take down until company
comes in the evening. When woman
does that, ii really ought TO be actionable
as obtaining goods under false pretenses'
but what about a man? When he came
a counting, how handsome and swe ne
looked. He Was barbered and brushed ana
perfumed until he was just too sweet 20
live, and that was the kind of man she
fell in love with, not this seedy indiv QUA
with a three days stubble of dirty beard
on his face. It's the funniest thing on
earth that a man never even dreams that
his wife can be disillusioned and disgust
ed by his appearance, and is really far
more sensitive to IL than he is 10 hers, De-
cause she thipks more about dress ana
looks Nine enth of the men in the world
seem to think that marriage means the
liberty TO go slouchy, and shave as seldom
as they can. When you see middle aged
man suddenly bloom out in good clothes,
and looking spick and span and wen
groomed, you know at once that he Is
widower
1t has always been considered that the
supreme test OF wife's good management
was her ability to make home 50 happy
and pleasant that her husband would new
er care TO wander from his own hreslde'
She has been told, and it is good ADVICE
TO always meet him with smile, TO keep
the unpleasant details of domestic contre-
tempts and servant broils from a man al
ready overburdened by his own cares, ana,
above all always to be bright and cheerful
and entertaining in her conversation. Is
there any reason why these delightful 90
nestle virtues should all be feminine!
Surely ii is q mans business to smile just
as much as a wornan's. Yet, tehre isn't
one man in a million who doesn feel tnat
he is doing his full duty as a man and
husband when he gives a Few inarlcuiate
grunts in answer to his wife's questions
and remarks, and then absorbs himself In
his paper until he goes to bed. Pretty IN
teresting and exciting for her, isn't ltT YET
the man who does this complains tnat ms
wife isn't satisfied at home. and Is forever
wanting to go gadding on someWneIe.
Good Lord. why shouldn't sheT Anypouy
would be justified in wanting to get away
from that kind of a mummy. If more men
would take the trouble to try to make
home happy and entertaining Tor tnelr
wives, there would be fewer women SO
dead anxious to chase off to the springs
the very first time the Weather Bureau
hints that summer has come.
The lost purse stories. says the New
York Times, are still coming in. Here
are three in a bunch, all from one woman,
but the loss was not in any of them on
her side. They are all worth repeating
| Tn the first Instance, the woman was 60
| ing downtown early one morning and she
| had left the surface car and was stepping
unon the sidewalk when she heard voice
| calling after her: ma am. Ma am! put
| she hardly had time TO turn when the con-
| ductor of the car she had just left was De-
| side her. breathless, and thrust into her
hand a purse. She had in that same hand
| her own small purse, and she looked at
the second one dazed for a moment; then
| she In her turn started on a wild chase
| after the conductor, whom she reached
| and thrust into his hand the purse which
was not hers.
II sat next a poor working girl in the
| car" she said later, land l felt that the
purse must be hers, and in that snort time
1 realized that If l didn't give that purse
back quickly she might have no luncheon
| that day l have wondered since IL was
| wise and II l had not better have kept
| it and taken 1t to the lost and found sta
| ton myself, to be sure that 1t was saIe,
| where she would get it"
| OF the next purse adventure the woman
| was only an eve witness. This was also
| in the place of SO many lost purses-the
street garland laboring man had picked
| up a woman's little fancy purse. The con-
ductor wished to take 1t from him, but the
man persisted in keeping 1t. He said he
| had found the purse and he should take
| II TO the IOSI anu lOuuu vi tAO
road to make sure that IL was in a place
| where the owner would get 1t, and he
| would not give ii up TO the conductor.
| The conductor persisted that he should
| have the purse, which was found in his
car The two men became excited and
several Of the men passengers finally in
| terfered They said the man was right:
he had found the purse. he could not be
| compelled 10 give 1t up. He was evidently
honest and wished to take the purse where
| its owner could find 1t, and he had every
| right to do so, and that settled The mat
| ter. The question OF possession there was
| interesting.
| The third purse story was the most in
| teresting The woman, with her husband,
| was taking a walk one Sunday afternoon
| in Westchester when they found a purse.
| II was q shabby purse, a Woman's APP

and 1t contained 500 There had been q
| big Irish funeral in the neighborhood that
| day people from all the surrounding towns
| had attended, and the finders of the purse
came naturally to the conclusion that one
| OF these people was the loser. Notices
| were nut up In the stations along the road
| at different places, and one day as the
| woman was sitting by the window OF her
| house sewing. big lrishman walked in
| to the yard, came to the door, and rang
| the bell lie had come for the purse, and
| he described the contents-two bank notes
| and the receipt for some money sent TO
| the old country.
"Ah, nlue cratur," he said with affec-

| hand IL niver tho't to see you agln' All,
