How Wife Should Who

beast above suggested. Only one
course remains. When wifely tact
love and pleading, followed by judi
cious silence have availed naught, let
the Wife Systematically set about
learning not to care.
I see the shudder of shocked dis
may with which the model matron
meets this suggestion. But I still
maintain my stand. When a wife has
done her duty toward her husband
falling in nothing that can make him
happy and comfortable-and he still
treats her. brutally, complains contin-
ually, is perversely unjust to her, and
eternally nags at her, let her summon
all her tact to avoid occasions for
''the enemy of blaspheme," continue
to do her duty, and then gather up
what is left Of her life. There is some
thing in life besides a husband and a
husbands approval. First, and above
all else with which God blesses
women, there are the children. Let
our disappointed wife live for them
and in them. Let her allow the side of
her heart with which she would grieve
over her husbands injustice be so full
of that which is worth all of life that
she cannot take time to brood over
her great sorrow. She still owes the
man her duty, her fidelity, and, if she
be good woman, she will pay what
she owes to the uttermost farthing,
but let her not cast her pearls of love
and feeling before swine, or waste
her hearts blood upon that which
proiteth not She may be one with
her boys and girls, she may read,
study, enjoy her friends, keep her SYM
pathies fresh, rejoice with the joyful,
grieve with the sorrowing.
Can she be happy? That depends
| upon the woman. IF she be one of the
| women of whom the Irishman spoke as
'three-halves mother" she will be
almost content. The part Of her that
longs for husbandly sympathy, for the
| ideal understanding that may and does
exist in some lives, will go to her grave
| hunBerinG. Many widows know the
same longing, the same heart-hunger
To the sensitive soul their lot may
seem easier than hers. All, well! fol

GIRLS COSTUME, 1911.

Yelling in all colors is much used
for young girls frocks, but is especial
ly charming in the lighter ones. The
very pretty costume illustrated shows
| the material in one of the. new re-
seda shades, with machine stitching
in 4corticelli silk of the same color,
yoke and straps of taffeta, the latter
held by gold buttons showing a
tracery of black, and drop ornaments
that combine reSeda with black and
white. The color combination is q
peculiarly good one and the effect is
| admirable, but there is the whole long
| list of beautiful tones from which to
choose.
The costume consists of the waist
and the skirt, which are Joined and
! closed together at the back. Both
| fronts and back of the. waist are
| tucked, and are gathered at the lower
edge, but the tucks of the fronts eX-
tend to yoke depth only, while those
of the back are full length, and the
| fronts are joined to a vestlike portion
which consists of a tucked yoke with
I full portion below. The skirt is cut
| in five cores, the seams being con-
cealed by the tucks.

woman whose prattle vexed him and
whose call had been prolonged, and
having heard the door close upon her,
he was returning to his own preserve

plunged into the frivonties of the
town with a zest that was trif1e en-
phasized thru her wish to escape any
charge of being pedantic or literary.
She was glad that she had gone to
college, but she did not wish this fact
Of her life to be the haunting ghost
of her days. and by. the end of the
winter she felt that she had pretty
effectually laid~it.
In June Mr.. Porter began discussing
summer plans with Evelyn. He elm
mated himself from them; he could
not get away. he said. But there was
Grant to be considered. The boy was
at school in New Hampshire, and
Evelyn protested that it was not wise
to subject him to the intense heat
of a Clarkson summer. The first hot
wave sent Porter to bed with a tri-
fling illness, and his doctor took the
opportunity to look him over and tell
him that it was imperative for him
to rest. Thompson came home from
Arizona to spend the summer. He
and Wheaton were certainly equal to
the care Of the bank, so they urged
upon Porter, and he finally yielded.
Evelyn found hotel on the Massa-
chussets north shore which sounded
well in the circulars, and her father
agreed to it. When they reached Or
chard Lane he liked it better than
he had expected the hotel was one
| Of those vast caravansaries where all
!! sorts and conditions assemble; and he
was treasured by the click of the
| telegraph instrument and the pres
| ence of the long distance telephone
booth in the office. He was a cock
ney of the rankest kind and it dulled
the edge Of his isolation to know that
he was not entirely cut off from the
world. Every night he sat down with
cipher kilograms, and constructed
! from Thompson's statistics the days
business in the bank. He received
| daily from New York the closing quo
ested in, and as he walked the long
| hotel verandas he effected a trans
| migration Of spirit which put him
back in his swivel chair in the Clark
son National.
Evelyn made him drive with her
and Grant, and dragged him to the

neighbors to call on the Porters. The
fact that the cottages thus set the
| mark of their approval upon the
westerners, gave them distinction at
the hotel. Several men of Porter's
age took him to their quieter porches
and found him interesting: they liked
his stories, tho they hardly excused

a Forecast at the Whipples'.

There was cup Of tea at the Whip
Pies for. any one that dropped in at 5
o'clock. The general kept a syphon in
the iceboX, and his Wife's tea, which he
1oathed, gave him his excuse. He was
fond Of saying that an exact1ng gov
ernment made it impossible for an
army officer to get acquainted with his
wife until after his retirement, and
then, he declared, there was nothing
to discuss but the opportunities in life
which they had missed They talked
a great deal to each other about their
neighbors, and about their friends in
the army whose lives they We're able

nal Few men in Clarkson had time
for the general. He found the club an
unsocial place, and he preferred his
own battered copies Of "Pendennis'
and Henry Esmond' to anything in
the club library. Occasionally when
went to the club for midday susten-
ance, but the other men who hurried
thru their 40 cents worth of table
d'hote, talked of matters that were as
alien to him as marine law. 1t would
have suited the general much better to
live in Washington, where others with
equally little to do assembled in force;
but his wife would not hear to it. She
would not have her husband, she said,
becoming a professional pail bear

tired officers of the army and navy at
the capital. He submitted to her su-
perior authority, as he always did, and

The general usually remained in the
