MRS. BlNKLEY'S WAY.

Sunday afternoon, says the New York
out walking they invited Binkley's old
chum Elverson to go along. Elverson
did not know Mrs. Binkley very WELL
and it occurred to Binkley that then
was a good time for him to make her
acquaintance. Afterward he wished
he had waited for a more opportune
time.
Mrs. Binkley was not as entertaining
as usual. Her mind ran principally to
figures. She did a great deal of look
ing around and but little talking. When
she did speak she said: THAT makes
three of them" or THAT is the fourth
one I have seen," or something to that
effect, which explanatory remarks, be-
ing unaccompanied by a diagram, were
totally unintelligible to at least one of
her companions. Such conduct was
most certainly something one would
never have expected from a woman of
Mrs. Binkley's reputed accomplish
ments. 1t puzzled Elverson and it
made Binkley mad. Still he tried to
laugh it off when Elverson pulled him
into a cigar store and asked anxiously
what she meant by it.
I'm afraid" said Elverson, that
she's mad because 1 came along. 1
think she wanted you all to her
self"
You're away off," returned Blink
ley with the wisdom of a married man.
I'm not of that much importance.
It's her clothes that ails her. She feels
herself out of the picture. / haven't
been able to get her one of those new
tangled spring suits yet and she's
counting the other women who are
out in their old buds. She always does
it."

HER ONE TALENT.

The parable of the talents, saws the
New York Tribune, was exemplified by
little Mrs. s. in an interesting man.
ner. Here, Lizzie" said one of her
aunts to her one day, here Is a fifty
dollar gold piece for you. See," she
continued, jokingly, ''how far you can
make your one talent CO." Lizzie s.,
who was practical little soul, thought
that by way of experiment she would
take her aunt's suggestion literally. In
her neat little household ledger she en-
tered separate account under the
head of Aunt Mary's Contribution, :"
crediting the account with $50. She
then bought two incubators, holding
100 eggs each, for $24 one inside brood
er, costing IS, and two outside brooders,
for IS each, making $42 in all. The re-
mainder she invested in eggs from q re-
liable poultry farm for 81 a hundred.
She received her incubators on March
l, and by June l had Matched out with
fairly good success six sets of chickens,
which she raised as brolle"s and sold
to herself by system of accounts that
was somewhat original, but Ito herr
perfectly satisfactory. When the sea-
son was over she found she lad made a
profit of about $40 over and above the
cost of her plant, the eggs and chicien
food. The labor account she did not
think she need include, as their utility
man, whom they kept anyway, attend
ed to her chickens.
The next summer she decided she
would like to try vegetables instead Of
chickens, and she also wished to have
her cottage repainted. She made in
quiries, found a man who was anxious
to go into the chicken business, and
made an arrangement with him to take
her incubators, brooders, ETC., for two
thirds of their cost, paying her for
them by days work at $3.50 a day. BY
this arrangement she paid for the paint
and work on her little cottage. With
her profit on chickens she started a
vegetable garden, and opened up a new
account against her housekeeping al
lowance. Aunt Mary is much amused
by the evolution of her fifty-dollar gold
piece, and wonders what will be les
next development

HOW WOMEN ARE
MADE HAPPY.

If, says the New York World, you
we're to put to all the married men
of your acquaintance the question:
Which would a woman prefer a 500
note to buy herself a brooch, or a
fifth of that sum expended by you in
the shape of gloves, and brought home
to her?" there is little doubt that
the answer in all cases would be in
favor of the gift of a $40 note; yet
it is very doubtful if that response
would be the correct one.
The mere man misses the important
fact that, in the case of gloves, this
is a present brought home for her
it shows that the husband has given
himself some trouble in order to pay
her a small attention.
1t comes to her, most probably, unex-
pectedly, and the pleasure of possess
sion is intensified.
Look at some of the other small
things which will tend to make wom-
an happy, and increase her affection
for the man she has married.
You may go home and utter pro-
testations of affection, and tell her,
when she mentions that her dress is
getting shabby, that your cheque book
is at her disposal, but that will not
please her so much as the knowledge
that you remember her when you are
away from her, and that you watch for
any little opportunity of doing some
thing, or bringing home something
that will give her pleasure
The great percentage of wives do not
want this, although (having been dis
appointed by not receiving what they
do wanD they finally settle into d
dull kind of contentment, and appear
luke warmly happy on receiving these
marks of lordly magnificence.
What the intelligent, loving woman
really wants is the little attention, Oft
en- given; it demonstrates to her that
the man to whom she has given her.
self for better or worse is considerate
of her happiness.
The little kindnesses or attentions
shown to a wife need not take the
form of gifts in every instance.
She will love you great deal more
than if you are very demonstrative in
your affection once in a while.
Here is a piece of good advice to
all married men:
Try the little things!

dlewomen could earn their bread. To
find some yellowed remnant of this
delicate fashion is to fill ones mind
with wonder: how could it be done?

quired to hide their ankles, to sho"

The very swish. swish, OF those tor
menting bits of rafting linen or cot
ton remains a lasting memory in am
mind that can recall how they hindered
strong young legs longing to run or
use the skipping rope.
But to those who can wander back
through the long years 10 this small
bit of childish experience, there re-
mains a regret that will always be
strong in their hearts, that there could
not have been found some middle way
some more ideal plan where the un-
interesting shyness and lack of individ-
uality of those times which were sym
bolized by the bothersome fall of lace
on the hat brim, might have bee7
transformed into a mode which though
free yet held self-restraijlt a virtue
and sought a form of fashion which
indicated right to healtnful exercise
without choosing to mimic masculine
holiness and self-assertion.
"Our clothes speak for us and about
us, as loudly and more frankly than
our tongues could willingly do, and
there are evidences among some of our
prevailing fashions of radical char
acter changes, which we do not desire
to discuss here or in any public place.
The windows of our great shops
amaze us with some of their displays
and inwardly we question with grave
doubt: Do gentlewomen buy and
wear these garments? They have nc

ment or of artistic taste"

An Armenian Legend.

Arnrat, one of the most majestic
mountains in the world, rises 1900
feet above the vast nat plain which
bears its name and reigns over the sur
rounding mountains. Early i'll the
morning. while all the valleys OF Ara
rat and the neighboring mountains are
buried in shadow, the white top Of the
Scriptural mountain CLEANS beautiful
in the first beams of the sun.
The Armenian people tell this story
about the inhabitants of Pharbee:
Once the devil and a Pharbee man
laid Il wager as TO which should first
see the sun. The one who saw it first
was to box the others ears. Very
WELL" said the Armenian, and he lay
down and slept sweetly, while the
devil, itching to punish his enemy.
stood looking eastward, and with eager
eyes watched the whole night for the
sunrise. Early in the morning the
Pharbee man rose and pointing to the
top of the Ararat, which was already
shining in the sun, cried joyfully, Il
see it," The devil was vanquished.
The Pharbee man, with his strong
hand. boxed the devils ears. Ever
since that time the devil has been
afraid of the people of the Armenian
village of Pharbee.
