SHE ORDERS HIS CLOTHES.
And Takes Great Pains to Have Her
Husband Properly Dressed.

The wife of man who served with
distinction as a cabinet officer during
recent administration entered tailor
shop near Fifth avenue a week ago
and said to the proprietor:
81 am Mrs. So-and-So, and don't sup
pose that women come into your shop
very often"
"A good many women help their hus-
bands to select their Clothes" said the
proprietor.
''WeIl. / am glad to hear that" said
the woman. Il have bought my hus-
bands clothes for him ever since we
were married, and If 1 did not look out
for them he would not have any
clothes. He never thinks of them.
Didn't even when he was in Washing
ton, though he was always properly
dressed. Now / want some spring
clothes for my husband. 1 viii select
the samples for three suits, and will
tell you Just how to make them. When
my husband comes TO get measured,
don't pay any attention to his orders
about the clothes if he gives any. If
he ordered his own clothes, he would
not be suited anyway"
The proprietor found that this wo-
man knew as Iuucn as the average
man about mems clothes, and he &C
cepted her directions. On the follow
ing day, when her husband came in,
the proprietor recognized him from his
pictures and said:
"Mr. So-and-so. your wife selected
goods for three suits of clothes for you
yesterday, and if you will step back !
will show you the patterns"
Young man. said the ex-cabinet
officer. Il would not dare to interfere
with my wife's selections. Just take
my measure as quickly as you can and
make the clothes as directed"
After the measurements had been
made the ex-cabinet minister hurried
out without asking what style Of suits
had been ordered for him.-New York

White of the Boiled Egg Unat to Eat

Very few persons can eat the white
Of hard boiled egg with any degree
OF comfort. Eggs are highly nutri-
tious and easy of digestion when light
ly or under cooked The albumen, the
white of the egg, coagulates as soon
as It is dropped into hot water. The
long boiling renders the yoik soft and
mealy, but the white becomes tough
and indigestibIe and should be dis
caried.-Ladies' Home Journal.
