The Japancse Housewife.

1t taxes woman of large capacity
TO he a successful homemaker, and our
Japanese sister is. above all else. an
ideal housewife. In spite OF her child
like appearance and manner there is
much stately, though simple, dignity
about her. she kneels upon the cush-
ion laid on her shining floor of spot
less rice mat, and greets her visitor
by gracefully bowing over until her
forehead touches the floor. Her guest,
who removed her fOOtgear at the outer
entrance for japanese would not
dream of scratching the polished floors
or dimmlng the rice mats by wearing
Dut-of-aoor sandals In the house, is
gwen a cushion like her hostess that
she may rest her knees and heels upon
ii in the curious sitting posture well
nigh impossible for foreigners 10 imi-
tate. Then. before guest and hostess
are placed tiny cups OF tea, with quaint
covers, the cups resting on little pedes-
tails instead OF saucers.
After much formal salutatlon the
real visit begins, and thea, perhaps,
the tiny pipes are lighted-tbey con
tain but three or four "whitfs" OF to-
bacco-at the fire box, and merry
chatter with much laughter, is car
ried on over pipes and teacups. In
Japan, fans, parasols and pipes are
the common property of both sexes,-

Some few persons still cherish the
idea that all women are absolutely
helpless in business matters, and that
they are so lacking in financial ability
that they cannot safely be trusted to
handle money.
Mr.. Black belonged to this class. He
had been in the habit Of paying all the
h.usehold bills Mt the end OF each
month, ana his wife although allowed
unlimited credit, had never had an al
l0wance. One day the Blacks hap

new building in which the bank was
situated.
"Do You know, John" remarked Mrs
Black, Il have actually rever been in

than two years ago"

that's the case, guess I'd better give
you check this month and let You pay
the bills. Do you think you'd know
how to cash it,"
Mrs. Black received the check, That
evening Mr.. Black asked, not without
sarcasm. If she had succeeded in In

A Woman Eail-Tiirowcr.

Anatomists have frequently e1-

things, there are exceptions. for Ia.

DON'T LOOK FOR THE FLAWS.

Don't lool; for flaws as you co through life: :
And even when you find them
1t 10 wise and kind to be somewhat blind
And look for the virtue behind them.
For the cloudicst night has a hint of the
light
Somewhere in It's shadows hiding;
1t IS better far to hunt for star
Than the spots on the sun abiding.
Tho current Of life runs every way
To the bosom OF Gods great ocean;
Don't set your force 'gainst the rivers
course
And think to alter its motion.
Don't waste curse on the universe;
Remember it lived before YOU;
Don't butt at the storm with your puny
form.
But bend, let it fly o'cr you.
The world will never adjust itsclf
10 suit your whm TO the letter;
Some things must go wrong your whole
life long.
AND the sooner you know It the better.
1t IS folly to fight with the Infinite.
-, And go under at last in the wrestle.
Inc wiser man shapes into Gods plan,
As tho water shapes itto the vessel.

The Alleged Modern woman,

The reader OF modern novels must
sometimes be moved to wonder where
.he noyclists get their idea OF some of
.heir heroines. The utter unreason of
some danes and damsels whom one
| meets i'll latter-day fiction is marvel
Jus. 1t is the day of the femme in
comprise" and some of the specimens
are too much for the comprehension
even of the feminine reader.
Some of these heroines, for example.
are afflicted with what is called artis-
tic temperament. and when heroine
has red hair and u bad fit OF the artis-
tic temperament she is a creature be-
sic whom the Sphinx is comprehensive
and wildcat a boudoir pet. She talks
4 lingo made up of phrases from the
Rubaiyat, the Nedas and Thomas Il
kempis, and she usually has Il voca-
tion beside that of making her hus-
band miserable.
The foil to this type of heroine is the
conventional women, VINO is stuffed
with sawdust and has bisque head
and jute hair. She never thinks of her
husbands SOUL but only of his col
lars and cuffs and dinner. 1t is doubt
ful whether the woman ever lived who
lid not have at least a glimmering
curiosity as 10 her husbands soul
even if she happened TO be married TO
4 man without any fit to mention. But
one meets these meek creatures in
novels.
There is also the woman who is q
bundle of incomprehensibilities and in
consistencies, and is usually considered
charming. The innocent feminine
reader may attempt to initiate this
heroine. If she does she will find that,
contrary to the novelists and the wom-
ans page Of the papers, men expect
even u woman to know that two and
two make four. Editorial in the New
York News.

Very Nice Pumpkin Preserve.

\ very nice preserve is made OF
the humble pumpkin. The recipe,
taken from the Boston Cooking School
Magazine, is as follows: Cut the pump.
kin into inch cubes, removing the rind.
TO each pound allow half pound
of sugar ami two ounces of whole
ginger root. Put the pumpkin, sugar
ard ginger into alternate layers in
Il jar, and let them stand three days,
when Il quantity Of syrup will have
formed. Pour all into a preserving
kettle and boil slowly until the pump
kin looks clear. Store in small jars
or glasses, covered with paraffine.
This preserve strongly resembles pre-
served ginger. 1t may be added to
sauces and is very good when served
with ice cream or frozen puddings.
