Practical Woman Explains How She
Has Time for Everything.
II don't know how you manage IT,"
said one woman to another, you al.
ways seem to know what is going on
in the world, and to be able to read
the newest books, and to keep up
your music, while never have time
for anything but my children and my
housekeeping"
The other woman smiled. II can't
see why you don't have time" she
replied, your family is smaller than
mine and we both have a housemaid
and q cook. Suppose we talk It over"
It turned out in the discussion that
snsued that one woman got her fam

worldwide interest, and then after.
wards when the family had dispersed
until lunch, and the mornings work
was done, she could take a quiet hour
and read or prPctice. In fact, as re.
CARDS her reading, she was never
without book or magazine at hand
ready to be picked up IL even for
moment, during the day.
In the evening, after the last meal
Of the day she gathered together her
young people and read the most Inn
portant news and this was followed
by an informal discussion. This took
but a short time and the family thus
kept in touch with the doings Of the
great world. This woman realized
a truth that does not come to every
one, namely, that a good newspaper
is the connecting-rod between provin-
cialism and cosmopolitanism, and
that, even If one live in a small place,
one need not be ignorant Of the game
Of the nations.
Another line Of conduct Of this
wise woman was to have lying around
books of vital importance, new books
of note.
But books cost so much" cried the

But a dozen books from a library
never take the place Of one standard

When the wise woman heard that
remark she smiled. what did you
pay for that Doulton vase you showed
me last week? The price of that
would cover the books l buy for six
months. OF course we cannot afford,
all the new and expensive books, but
there are an extraordinary number

In fitting on globes It is a common
error to screw them on to the gas

q grave error, for If the globe has not
room to expand It will surely break
when the gas is lighted and the glass
becomes hot. Many mysterious break
ages are due to too tight screws.

The scenes of "Sandy Bottom'
nestle in these folklore hills and
the location of the play admits of
superior opportunities in the way
of scenic display. 1t woos you to-:
"Come, miugle with the back-wood folks
Where might and and right is law,
In quaint old Sandy Bottom,
In the south of Arkansaw."
And listen to the mountain quail,
In the grove of young papaw,
Whistling to his hearts delight,
In the sunny hills of Arkansaw.
"There mocking birds sing sweetest,
And blackberries grow the ripest,
Evening stars shine brightest,
At Sandy Bottom
The motif of the play deals
with the good old times in the
Sunny South, with darkies,
laughter, music, sweet love story.
The company presenting this

character of the South. They
are from Chicago and carry with
them their own special scenery
for each of the four acts. Tick
