4 HIGH VIEW OF MARRIAGE.

The industrial view OF marriage
makes it at least a business partner
ship in which the woman is entitled
io her share of the profits and so sat
iSties the instinct for fair play. A
weil.known writer on feminine social
economics considers that a high stand
ard Of marriage is best maintained
by husband and wife alike earning
mOucy outside Of the home. even if the
woman earns no more than she might
Haye by doing her own work at home.
But If a wife's contribution in hours
Of labor inside Of her home can be
rSCkoned OF equal pecuniary value TO
that done for some one else's home,
homework can no longer he considered
mcnial. However it may be, the view
Of marriage as an industry is not mega
hvcd by a wife's working at home
iustead of being employed elsewhere,
and if marriage is really al industry,
The feminine conscience may be so
stimulated thereby, that friyolity.

II is easy enough to go around an OBJ

All you have 10 do is 10 fool him into

When a girl kisses another girl IN

Girls should know how 10 make good

ROADSIDE WEEDS.

which are permitted TO scatter their
seeds far and wide, is enormous. The
duty OF destroying these weeds seems
to be that of the farmer, but he viii
not work on the outside Of his fence

side. and he. therefore. spends more
time destroying weeds on his farm
during the growing season than would
be necessary II he kept down the
weeds along the road. But such work
will be useless unless all farmers arc

suAwLs A FAD or FASHION.

Shawls are seen in rather unusual
numbers. There are enough of them
ao suggest a revival of the 1880 and
1850 fashion. The silk shawls are
specially attractive, embroidered in self
or contrasting color. Pale salmon
mink Is embroidered in white; dull rich
ma senta has a pattern worked in red
of depeer tone. OF course all the
usual pinks, pale blues and creams are
also strongly in evidence. Pongee color,
with stitchery in white or yellow. is
pretty and more unusual.

they never wear ShOes-not even san

MAX O'RELL'S RESPONSE.

Graceful and Witty Acknowledgment
Of a Chairman's Introduction.
A professor who acted as chairman
of meeting at which the late Max
O'Rell was to lecture introduced the
Frenchman in the following manner:
Ladies and Gentlemen: When we
wish to see ourselves as individuals
we have recourse to the mirror. This
we cannot do as nation. I take
pleasure in introducing a gentleman
who will act as a French mirror, by
means of which you will, I am sure,
obtain an adequate and pleasing view
OF yourselves as nation
The Introduction pleased O'Rell and
he responded in vein as jovial: Il
am requested to reflect on a nation.
However, I must take second place to
the man in the moon, for he reflects
on the earth. AS an imported French
mirror shall do the best can to give
you correct picture of the nation.
And if your chairman remains where
he is, in the background, he will add
greatly to the reflective power of the
mirror

HOW TO CHOOSE A SPONGE,
1t Is Easy to Tell a Good One From
Bad One.


Bad One.
There are great many differences
between good and bad sponges," said
an importer, but the persons who
buy sponges at retail know very little
about them. In nine cases out of ten
those nice-looking bleached sponges
seen in drug store windows are a de-
fusion and snare. The first requisite
of good sponge is that it shall be
dark In color; I don't mean almost
black, like carriage sponge, but a
dark yellow. A vitriol bath to bleach
sponge white destroys it's fibre. It's
elasticity is ruined, and it wears out
much sooner.
I'm choosing sponge, see that it
has velvety touch to the hand and
yields readily to a good squeeze. The
best and most expensive sponges are
the Levant, which come from the Med
tterranean. The prettiest and the
cheapest are the grass sponges, made
of numberless small filaments, and
which look and feel like a ball of
wool. The bulk of the sponges used
In this country come from Florida and
Cuba"
