that runs a tremendous risk. The wisest
woman is she who recognizes her hus-
bands right to his own tastes and pref
udices, and who makes him feel that she
wants to merely add to his pleasures, not
curtail them. Having liberty to do as he
pleases, he generally pleases to be bound
to her, hand and foot. 1t Is worth while
for women to remember that we seldom
love our jailors.
There are couple of girls in town who
have been looking forward to the warm
days of spring with great and unusual
longing. Spring days are always to be
desired, but there was a particular reason
for this special desire. There Wa no ass-
thetic desire to see bursting buds and
fresh green leaves in the souls of these
two young women as they watched the
thermometer. 1t ell came from a super
stitious desire on Jan. to begin the year
properly. 1t was in this way, says the
New York Times: Those who are familiar
with the lore know well if one puts on
new stockings on the first day Of the new
year and remembers upon doing so to so
up stairs before going down 1t is an effort
sure to be rewarded. Luck will be above
par the year through. The two young
women knew this sure road to luck and
resolved to follow it. But 1t was after
dinner on Dec. 81, and neither had an alb
solutely brand-new pair OF stockings to
her name. 1t did not make much differ
ence what kind of stockings they were
If they were only new, so they dispatched
a maid forthwith to get the necessary
good-luck producers. The larger shops
were closed, but the maid was equal to
the emergency, and returned to the house
triumphantly with pair of stockings for
each young woman. Beauties! She held
them up triumphantly. And so nice and
warmi Warm? 1t would seem so, heavy
woollen stockings, and there were two
screams of dire dismay.
However, IL would be a foolish girl who
would allow a small thing like that to
affect her, and each damsel womanfully
strove with her new stockings next morn
ing, put them on, went up stairs before
going down, and was happy to certain
degree. Not entirely happy, for those I'M
accustomed woollen stockings were most
uncomfortable. And then. being prudent
damssls a sudden thought occurred to
them Would 1t be safe putting on any
thing so warm in the middle of winter
to take 1t off again Immediately. No;
they decided not, and mournfulIy started
out to purchase a supply of those awful
woollen stockings which neither one dar-
ed to leave off until the first really warm
day. Every tulip in park flower beds,
every bud on a tree has meant to them
not the beauties of spring, but one more
link loosened in the chain which has
bound them to the thralldom of woollen
stockings
The Christian Endeayor World tells this
little story: In a school for colored chill
dren there was a little boy who could
persist in saying, have went"
The teacher kept him in one night and
said:
Nov, while 1 am out of the room you
may write have gone fifty times.
When the teacher came back he looked
ut the boys paper and there was Have
gone fifty times" On the other side was
written, Il have went home"
The secret of perennial loveliness has
been discovered at last, and now upon
payment OF fee the rich. ripe bloom of
healthy youth can be indelibly fixed upon
the cheeks OF all who desire 1t
Credit for the wonderful discovery SAYS

to an American lady and to Mr.. Suther-
land Macdonald a West End tsttooist-
to the fair American for the suggestion,
and to Afr. Macdonald for having carried
out successfully one of the most wonder
full and interesting operations of modern
times. In his small Studio" Mr.. Macdon-

profitable profession of tattooist Beneath
the def manipulation of his electrically
driven needle hundreds of ladies and gem
tlemen, including representatives of tbs
very proudest families in the kingdom,
have been epidermically decorated with
highly artistic designs in every color.
Personages whose names are familiar to
the world have emerged from his room
with their backs, arms and chests en-
blazoned with fiery dragons. snakes, but
terfiies, birds armoral bearings, regimen
tai coLors. and a hundred other devices.
Until recent the tattooist's feminine Glen

MIR. Macdonald had visitor, who in the
course OF few minutes conversation
