Two Views of Husbands.

New York Commercial Advertiser.
Two women were discussing home life
of course, the home life of mutual friend.
''I don't see why Bessie's husband mar
ried her." said one. He has no thought
for anything but business. He goes out
early and gets back late, and when he gets
back he is always tired. He'll never take
her out anywhere in the evening He tells
Bessie to go about and have good time
among her friends"
Hes my ideal of husband" put in the
other. Don't you see, she doesn't have
him at her heels all the time. He's not a
fault-finder. And then look at the money
he's making. He gives her ali she wants.
Every year they move into a more expens-
i've fiat, and they keep several servants.
He bought her an automobile a few days
ago."
THAT may suit some," came back the
first speaker, ''but ii wouldn't suit me, and
l don't think it suits Bessie. / don't like
the idea of a husband degenerating into a
proyider and nothing more. I'd rather see
more of my husband and less of servants.
And my Tom thinks as do, I'm glad to
say. / wouldn't give up one of our strolls
in the park for the finest auto ever built"
And as they couldn't agree they began to
talk about bargains

ADJUSTMENTS.

At the Park this afternoon and for the
rest of the week the Holden Company will
present an English melodrama entitled
1.-THE Fool of st. Arven." The piece, which
is dramatization of a novel published
some twenty years ago, was acted by the
Holden Company during it's engagement
at the Park the season before last and was
well liked by the patrons of that theater.
II is both romantic and sensational and
contains several scenes that will doubt
less stir up the enthusiasm of those play
goers who are fond of exciting climaxes.
John Preston, the leading actor and stage
principal male character and Bernice How
ard will play the part of the heroine. The
other important roles will be in capable
hands. Little Alice Berry and Miss Lulu
Touhy will introduce some new singing
specialties between the acts. This will be
the last attraction of the Park regular
season. The Weber and Fields company
will come next Monday evening for sin
gle supplemental performance The big de-
mand for seats for the Weber-Fields enter
tainment continues at the Parks box office
and the last theatrical performance of the
local season will doubtless be greeted by
very large audience.
Bertha Galland's artistic hit with the

The most successful and in many respects
the best educational year which the Young
Women's Christian Association has known
since its incipiency has just closed. The en-
rollment has been unusually large, num-
bering loo. Enthusiasm has run high in
each branch of the department. French
and German were heard in the halls; the
embroidery and basketry classes often
fingered into the late night hours, and the
spirit of the gym" particularly in basket
ball, knew no bounds.

For the first time domestic science has
been taught in the building this year. Last
fall a room the fourth floor, which
could accommodate classes of twelve, was
fitted up and the Y. W. c. A. was fortunate
enough to secure the efficient services of
Miss Schiller. Two courses of ten lessons

a number of girls

Saturdays. These classes, and all others,
have had but one aim and that aim has
been to develop the highest type of woman
