There are many women whose souls .

When a woman gets to the fsh-on-

should be put in cold storage to be

The Economical Woman.
The cold. economical woman who
scents reckless extravaganza in the
most ordinary. comforts of life is the
woman who sees a woeful wiIfuI
waste in every Indulgence. and the
misery of it all is that such a woman
is often mated with man who en-
Joys every good thing in this life
with every thing else thrown in.

The Husbands Gifts.
A man who loves pretty things and
dainty surroundings Is Jared and re-
pulsed by the woman who classes
such things as useless, frivolous, or
worse
The man who in his pride sees some
pretty thing he fancies his VIE VIII

No one viii deny that there are

The Stugy Man.
A woman hates a stingy man and
