The first lesson that the young girl has

She learns to know what headache means,

/" What's in a Name"

Is an old saying. One of our ex-
changes illustrates as follows:
A gentleman by the name OF Kettle
attended a social one evening and was
introduced to lady. Nothing was
said about names at the time. 1t
happened that this particular lady and
Mr.. Kettle were seated together at the
supper table, when the lady opened
the conversation as follows:
"I guess didn't quite understand
your name; is it kettle?"
"Yes."
Are You married."
YES"
"Indeed! Then there are two Ket.
ties. Have you any children?"
"Yes."
"Then there are a whole lot of Ket.
ties"
BY this time Mr.. Kettle had become
somewhat exasperated at the con-
tinued play upon his name, and in
such a conspicuous manner that il
had attracted the attention OF every
one within hearing, and he responded
"Oh, yes; we have five little Kettles
at home, and three of them have
spouts."
The lady complained of having
caught cold and changed the subject

PRETTILY DRESSED WOMEN.

No mere man since the fall could

style OF hat, whether Partisan or Eng.
lish, the make of gown, frock or
blouse, but if he missed the opportun-
ity of saying something about the
dress, so much the greater pity for
him. Certainly women do not dress
to please men, still they need not be
loutishly unobservant. An artistic
girl will dress in accordance with the
tints of her hair and complexion, and
to show her shape to the greatest ad-
vantage. Nor do women dress to
please women, but to outshine them,

man can afford to dress we'll without
making too big a hole in her purse, or
in her husbands weasel-skin, it is but
right she should do so. For really to

the soul OF every daughter of Eve. o,
talking about Eve, when it became

you she made her first cummerbund

radiant beauty. Yes, and we will not
even begrudge them a vein OF vanity.

A School for Brides

1t is in Philadelphia that school for brides is to be
opened The prospectus isn't out but the supposition is
that the institution will fill long felt want in the lives of
young who simply couldn't wait to be married, and
who had neglected most of the preparatory steps.
There some SUCH They look mighty sweet clad in
white, smiling divinely and saving the 81 wl in trem
uous whisper, while tear slips down pink cheek
For little while they board. It is unsatisfactory.
There isn't much home to it, and it takes lot of loving to
cover the coffee spots the tabecloh and make the
soggy biscuits like angels food. There is nothing
that makes newly married couple yeam for home OF
their like life in the average boarding house.
And then they get the home. There isn't much money.
They realize that they spent than they should on
wedding xngs and Charley discovers that he must give
attention to business and less to household matters
if he is to continue to draw his weekly stipend.
The girl who doesn't know how to cook and dust and
sweep and make beds and home, is miles deep in
hole She is going to realize it GO times day and have
little weep every time she goes recipe. She is going

foundation.
There should be necessity of school for brides.
There should be marriages without the home education
necessary to make them successful and happy.
But things not what they should be- in this world
and so let's hope that the Philadelphia experiment will
prove and that host of girls will be graduated
into useful wives.

her first husband. She is the daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Frederick Law
renee. They are immensely wealthy
and have a beautiful home at Bay
side, l.. l., where Mrs. Keene is now
in seclusion.
Mrs. Keene left her husband two
weeks ago, and the disagreement
which caused her to do so Is said
to have occurred within the past
month. The cause Of the trouble is
believed to be the recent financial re-
verses of Foxhall Keene When the
brokerage house of Talbot j. Taylor
& Go. failed in October, 1903, Keene,
who was a partner, was hard hit.
He has since been sued by creditors !;
even by his servants. for their wages
He had a dispute with the directors
of the Meadow Brook Hunt club over
n bill which he would not pay, and
afterwards resigned from the club.
Later his fine stable of thorough
breds was sold, and of late he has
almost entirely dropped out Of sight
among the hunting and steeple-
chasing set, where he had for years
been the undisputed leader.
James r, Keene will say nothing
regarding his sons marital diff
culties.

Captain Faulkner of Cramps. who is

that no effort will be made to break
records, but the builders are con-
fdent that the ship will exceed the
contract speed. Since the Colorado,
sister ship to the Pennsylvania,
came back from her government trial
last month with the official speed of
22.2i knots to her credit, the opinion
has grown that the Pennsylvania
could at least duplicate that.

FOR BIG HARBOR
BUDGET.

WASHINGTON, Nov %. - The
house rivers and harbors committee
assembled in Washington today for
the purpose of framing a bill. Last
year no general river and harbor bill
was urged The fact that the war
ances available for unfinished pro-
jects, and the desire not to appear
extravagant on the eve of a presi-
dental campaign, were reasons for
conservatism. This session liberal
appropriations are expected. 1t is
expected that steps will be taken
for delayed improvements in the
Tennessee, Ohio, Alabama and upper
Mississippi rivers.
