SELECTING A HUSBAND.

This is not a recipe beginning with
first catch your hare" for the hare
is presumably caught (several of HIM
and impatiently awaiting appropriation
or refusal.
On the contrary, 1t is merely to point
out attributes sufficiently acceptable to
warrant a comparatively serene life
with the man of your choice, and to
sound a warning to those who would
marry in haste.
A blond mustache, china-blue eyes
and a pair of shoulders are absolutely
necessary in a taior'S dummy, but
they are not obligatory in the man
who pays your bills, goes to market
and reminds you three times a day that
his mother knew thing or two about
housekeeping.
Neatness is the first indispensable
quality in a husband. Let him be as
ugly as the three headed Cerberus, but
if he gives the idea of being always
freshly tubbed and his linen Is beyond
reproach let your heart melt toward
him.
1t were we'll to follow the man of
your impending choice to market if
possible before rendering the final de-
cison.
If he selects his meats discriminate
ly, with apparent knowledge of the
value of cuts" orders abundantly but
not indiscreetly, with none of the
squeamishness of the so-called epicure,
and is scrupulously polite to his butch
er and vegetable vender, you can be
almost certain you are making no mis-
take in your own selection; but do
not permit yourself to be swept off
your feet by this admission. Wait I'M
til you have seen him order a dinner
or a supper at a restaurant. This is
most important. Perhaps it would be
we'll to put him to this test a score of
times before you arrive at a nuptial
conclusion.
If he hens and haws, insist that
you do the ordering; not certain
whether the roast precedes or follows
the game, throws himself on the mercy
of the waiter in regard to the proper
menu and doesn't know 1t should be
served when 1t arrives, you may put
him down as hopeless failure, for the
way to mans heart Is well known,
and if he himself understands it's pur-
leus so indifferently, how may the
wife hope to find the way thither?
There are other tests equally I'M
portant. A man who can make him
self handy about the house is not to
be despised. In fact, in marriage it is
dubious If the domestic qualities should
not utterly outweigh the social quail
ties
The man who can make an after
dinner speech will not be found half
as measurable as the man who can
hang a picture or mend molding, and
there is no question about the fact
that the tooler of a four-in-hand is
not to be weighed in the same bal
ances with the husband with the ham
mer and some knowledge of it's tactics.
Yet beware of the too domestic ami
mal-the kind that loves to purr even
ing after evening on his own hearth
rug, ensconced behind book which
is interesting only as a concealer Of
yawns.
Beware of the man who knows to
a yolk how many eggs go into the waf-
fies and corn pudding. who asks ques-
tons of the milk jug and draws his
own differences from the refrigerator.

A CINDERELLA STORY.

Mary EsteI1e Wight Stillman has
conquered the hearts of the fashion
able $50 as completely as she won the
affections of Charles Chauncey Still
man. the son of a great money king,
who married her only few weeks ago.
Mrs. J. Pierpont Morgan, Mrs. John
D. Rockefeller. Mrs. George J. Gould
and Mrs. Russell Sage were among the
chief personages who welcomed her
into Americas richest social circle the
other day at the home of Mrs. William
G.. Rockefeller, at No. 292 Madison
avenue.
Two hundred and fifty members of
the smartest set assembled to do honor
to the little. dark-eyed girl from
Maine, the daughter of plain Amos T /.
Wight, jeweler in a small way in the
city of Augusta. The bride of one of
the richest young men in America was
neither embarrassed by the experience
nor unduly elated by the friendship of
the mighty. She met the wives of the
most powerful American financiers
with the same frank good will she
would have extended to the wives OF
kings or peasants. She extended To
them the same measure of friendship
they offered TO her.
What this simple little woman from
Maine has accomplished could be done
with the same ease and SAVIOR faire by
any other American girl under the
same circumstances. Mary Estelle
Wight was lucky enough to meet a
golden opportunity. She did not seek
it. Even when the young multi-mil-
lionaire ardently professed his love she
was calm and sane enough to bid him
wait few years, to make sure that

BEAUTY SLEEP.

To get eight hours good sleep, says
the Brooklyn Eagle, should be the aim
of every woman, who wants to keep
her beauty. If the woman be inclined
to adipose tissue she should limit her
sleeping hours to seven, for it is rest
and sleep which makes her fat. If,
on the other hand, she be very ner-
vous, she can increase the number of
hours to nine, for there is something
about the beauty sleep which not only
knits up the laveled sleeve of care, but
also mends the nerves and restores the
nerve fluid.
To go to bed hungry is never a good
thing for beauty's sake. The body
feels uneasy during the night and the
face shows this uneasiness. One walk
and often the victim of an empty storn-
ach will wake up lying fiat upon the
face and tossing restlessly.
Again, the one who wants to sleep
soundly must not sleep without a pill
low, for nothing so drives the blood
to the brain. In cases of great nervous
ness the pillow should be extremely
high, and those who work with the
brain should also cultivate the habit
elevated.
The eight hours comfortable sleep will
be followed by a vigorous awakening
for the healthy. If one be in a poor
physical state one can take few light
gymnastics, for, when all things are
considered, it is exercise that does the
body good; not idleness.
OF course there are people who should
not exercise at all, and unfortunately
these are the very ones who are most
apt to take up gymnasium work.
Elderly people who feel the need of
outdoor exercise, yet who cannot, for
some reason, take it, can have it sup
piled to them through light massage.
This will keep the muscles from get
ting soft and will invigorate the flesh.
A great many elderly people receive
strength through the finger tips and
many claim that a certain magnetic
stimulation is impaired in this manner
In any case the elderly woman who
feels all tired out and whose strength
is slipping from her, would do well to
try massage at the hands of some
healthy young woman who thoroughly

SEEN IN A SANITARY CHURCH.

II have, like most men who read the
newspapers given due attention to
the microbe business" said a venerable
deacon from Brooklyn. to the New York
Press, land l am thoroughly in sym
pathy with sanitary barber shops and
all that sort of thing. But when l
visited a friend in the Greenwich viii
lage part of Manhattan last Sunday
and found myself in a sanitary church
it was new experience to me. A
microbe could no more find lodging in
that place of worship than cat could
in a bakers oven.
THE pews had no stuffy cushions for
them to lodge in. Even the pulpit
chairs were of polished wood, without
the comfortable upholsterings such as
1 see in my own church. The zinc or
gan pipes were not incased in orna-
mental wood, but looked like so much
exposed plumbing. The Bibles and
hymn books were all new, or nearly
so. The members of the congregation
do not buy their own. The church
owns them and gets a fresh lot each
year.
But the great surprise came at COM
munion. Since boyhood l have been
accustomed to partaking Of wine from
a silver cup passed around at the al
tar by the pastor, going from lip to
lip until it was empty. In this church
the minister passed the wine in tray
full of small porcelain cups, each con-
tanning a sip or two of wine. 1t look
ed like one of those trays milkmen
carry bottles in, only the compartments
were very small. He handed out about
thirty small cups, bestowing the usual
blessing with each one. An assistant

Chicago mathematician, says the
New York Sun, announces that Chi
cago, with 6o,396 widows has a larger
number than any other community in
the country. 1t is added that the num-
Der of widowers in the city is only
23O97.
AS a matter of fact, the state in
which widows are most numerous is
New York, in which they number $780,
900. The city in which they are most
numerous is the city of New York,
where there are 100000.
There were by the last Federal CEN
sus 2, 720 900 widows in the whole Unit
ed States, of whom, it is worthy to re-
mark, $4,000 were in Indiana and only
5000 in Utah.
There were $4,000 in Massachusetts,
less than the total number in the two
states of Alabama and Mississippi,
though the view pretty generally pre-
walls that the number of widows Is
disproportionately large throughout
New England.
There are nearly 1000 in Hawaii and
100 in Alaska, a proportionately larg-
er number than in the city of Chicago.

characteristic of the modern girl, the
manufacturer is putting on the market
now a dainty lot of garments that
would almost tempt the most particu-
lar maid to forsake her filmy MAIN
sock and batiste for these more sea-
sonable articles.
Some of them are mixtures of silk
and wool, elastic, close-fitting, dainty
and yet warm. And it is their
warmth that is their most conspic-
uous virtue.
The winter girl may talk as she will
about being able to wear exactly the
same clothes in winter that she does
in summer without catching cold, and
she may declare that, with the fash
ions demanding the slim figure she
cannot afford to add an extra thick
ness of flannel to her hips; she may
swear that she is not hurt by the ex-
posture of her ankles to the biting
winds, but just the same, when her
youth passes, she is mighty sure to
feel some twinges which she would
not have felt if she had protected her
self a bit better from the cold in her
early days.

.WOMAN'S WORLD

however. that she exhibits her greatest
qualities. Suddenly deprived of her
fortune, the European woman is the
most helpless and forlorn creature on
earth, and her despair is enough to
drive her husband or father or brother
to suicide. There are a thousand things
that she can do, and she does them.
She doesn't retire in tears to a stuffy
lodging on back street. Instead, she
develops knack for taking boarders,
or writing for the papers, or buying old
furniture, or something that will bring
in money. She puts her shoulder to the
wheel, and by her courage and grit
helps the men of the family nun the
wagon out of the rut and set it once
more on the high road to prosperity.

to church door? Why the carpeting

of unusual lights? Why this wagon

palms? Why everything that can be

the church for the marriage service.

OF moderate means are deferred. He
also thinks that the solemnity of the
ceremony is materially impaired.
