The new enterprise. (Madison, Fla.) 1901-1908, 1904-05-26
MARRYING FOR A HOME.

Home Is woman's real sphere of
usefulness, however much conditions
and necessities have forced her into
other and more extended ones
No true woman is indifferent to home
and all that it means to herself and
others,
The more truly womanly The is, the
more she appreciates and values it.
But to marry for The homes sake is
like buying a picture for its frame, or
valuing the binding Of the book above
the book itself.
No one can make the home a more
important thing in married life than
the man one marries and in no posi-
bic case can the home satisfy one If
the husband fails.
Love for the man one malTies will
make a home Of an attic, or the wealth
er side Of a hedge row,
But married life, where the home
comes first and the husband second,
or bad third, is a hdeous travesty Of
what it was meant to be, and it can
never draw anything but a blank in
the marriage lottery.
The girl who marrles for a home has
provided herself for the best Of her
days with a cage, which she must
halve with another being,
Both are oblivious Of the real rea-
sons for marriage, the highest and the
best,
Both put the home before the maker
of it, and that leads to sure disappoint.
ment and failure in the end.
Marriage can hardly be lottery in
the case Of these people.
One could tell them so confidently
beforehand that it will never draw
anything in their ease but Il dreary
blank.

The Atchlson young girls are picking
on one of the young men who goes III
their crowd. They repeat his sayings
and make fun Of them, and have sue
ceeded in making him a laughing
stock. The young man is worthy and
industrious and is generally admired
BY the business men with whom he
comes in contact, We have heard
some Of his sayings that abe girls
laugh at, and it is the Judgment OF our
maturer years that the only reason
they have for making fun of him is
that be talks common sense. No prin-

A sheaf of flowers lying on the arm

Embroidery is the one recognized

Transparencics in lace embroidery

promenade wear on the Riviera, with
chiffon or mousseline boas. White is
much affected by motorists at the
same place, and is to be as fashionable
this year as ever.
Chiffon dresses in all sorts Of colors
are much in evidence at the present
time, brown and moleskin tones shar-
ing favor with gray, and gauging
forms the principal trimming. with
occasional touches Of lace, such as q
valencienncs tucker, or a deep cape

Of gauging are used around the waist,
around the top Of the bodice, heading
the nounces, and holding the sleeves
down at the shoulder.
A chiffon rose craze is now running
