Unhappy Marriages.

Dear Aunt Jennie = sur
prised I was to find that you knew
me; but delighted that you still re-
member me after several years of
separation. I intended to write to
the Chat before this, but have been
sick.
How I enjoyed your letters of Sep
TENDER 18th, so full of good advice
to those who are soon to enter into
marriage life. If our young people
would only realize what a serious
thing it is before it is too late, I be-
lieve there would be but few unhap-
py marriages, and better and happier
homes. So many expect only sun
shine and happiness and when shad-
ows come, they are not prepared to
meet them. They realize too late
that they have made a mistake, and
then turn to the divorce courts as
the shortest way out of their trouble.

On Rearing Boys.

Dear Aunt Jennie:-I vas glad to
see Social Chat appear again. There
we're two very good letters in The
Farmer of October 18th. y
NJ. HIS was very helpful. l think
Mrs. S. E. M. was shooting close to
the mark. Wonder if she did not hit
somebody's I never could see any
thing in this overproduction theory
when so many go hungry and cold.
Aunt Jennie, I would be glad you
would give instructions for knitting
those jackets and tam-o-shan5er caps
the caps especially.
I would be glad of an exchange;
YOU know woman is never satisfied.
With your permission, l will speak
one little bit on rearing children.
While I don't know but little, 1 do
think that boys must be brought up
on the same principle as girls are
before this country reaches its aim.
Why is it boys are allowed to go
where they please at twelve or thlr-

out for the girls! Now why not for
the boy, too? He has a soul, too. I
think that fathers could lend a help
ing hand to us mothers by giving
advice and setting good examples.

must have as good a character as a
girl, and what will stain her charac-
ter will stain his also. Then and
not until then, will there be good
husbands for our girls.

a letter, but then I am interested. I
would be glad to hear from some of
the rest of the C~hatterers on this i'm
portant subject. I will close trust

best paper, The Progressive Farmer,

Health and Hygiene in Sweeping.

Dear Aunt Jennie:-A reader of
your excellent paper desires to know
If there is a more helpful way of
sweeping than the old tiresome one.
She says of all the household duties,
this is to her the most fatiguing.
The old way of taking a broom
and using it vigorously, going over
the carpet stirring it up and filing
your throat with dust besides your
hair and skin is not hygienic or the
best method. If. you will keep a new
broom-or clean one especially for
your carpets-and never set it down
in the corner to collect dust and soil
and to get stubby; it will serve you
and will make your carpets last
twice as long. Don't raise a dust,
but fill a pail full of warm water and
put a tablespoonful of salt into it
and dissolve we'll; then dip your
clean broom in it and sweep a width
at a time. AS soon as the water be-
comes soiled throw it out and get
fresh, and prepare the suds as the
first, and keep this up until your
carpets are clean. One such sweep
ing will last for a week or longer,
and save your back. Your brooms
and your carpets to say nothing of
the dust. Try the method. It will
not fade your carpet. But don't make
the broom wet, but just damp.

How sad it is, and how I wish all
would see that what "God hast joined
together no man can put asunder."
IF mothers would only be more
watchful of their daughters company
and try to impress on their minds
the seriousness of the step, how
much better it would bel We have
so many unhappy couples in our city
that the divorce column is almost
as long as that for the marriages.
My father often tells me if I am not
careful, I will be an old maid, but I
tell him, "Better an old maid than an
unhappy wife"
I enjoy the Sunshine column SO
much, but also the Social Chat, and
hope the cousins will be more prompt
and write often. hope soon to visit
Raleigh, and how delighted I should
be to see Aunt Jennie and the cou-
sins.

The Winter Fashions.
ELIZABETH.
Baltimore, Md.

The prophecy that velvet and vel
veteen would be high in favor this
season has been fulfilled. A gown,
a blouse or a wrapper of velvet
achieves a distinction in attire not
possible to attain in any other ma
terial. Fancy effects in velvet and
velveteen are used for the chic shirt
waist costumes. The new zibelines,
which are a favorite material for the
elaborate dress-gown, are more beau
tiful than ever, and their softness
and pliability adapts them admirably
to the flowing lines of the new modes.
Rich satin-faced cloths will not
easily lose prestige, and this season
they are shown in the lovely fuchsia
hues that are so fashionable. Straw
color, buff and pale pink are among
the delicate tints for which much
favor is shown.
One OF the fancies of the season
is open-work embroidery, in either
English or Madeira fashion, over a
soft, contrasting color. Fringes are
more popular than ever and narrow
Tom Thumb fringe dyed to match
the dress are most in demand, and
they possess innumerable attractive
features.
The separate blouse is more popu-
lar than ever, and the unlined shirt
waist made of fine faced cloth bids
fair to be a popular garment.
Sloping shoulders are a distinc-
tive feature of the new modes
