THE HELPFUL YOUNG WIFE
She Will Make Something Of Her Hus.
band, in Spite Of Financial
Obstacles.

We frequently hear man crying out
that he cannot afford to marry. Some
times he says it in the police court;
sometimes he says it to friend in de-
Tense of his bachelor existence; and
sometimes he repeats 1t monotonously
to the woman he has asked to be his
wife.
Every sensible person knows that 1t is
foolish to marry in haste, or without due
regard to the future. You cannot marry
on nothing, because the chances are
strongly against your happiness. But
just how much you can marry on Is
another matter.
As rule, the people who cry out about
their poverty are not SO badly off as one
would imagine. There is something else
behind this hesitation. They are either
not in love, or are afraid; or else one Is
confident but fears for the other.
Fear of poverty and hardship never
stands in the way of an engaged couple
who are honestly satisfied with each
other. The passion for each Others So
ciety strengthens mind and will, and such
obstacles as lack OF means and misty
prospects instantly vanish. The man
has but to think of the woman he loves
in order to be confident of accomplishing
any purpose he may set his mind to. The
woman is ready and willing to suffer any
thing for the sake OF being in her hero's
company.
What are top back room, supper OF
observation-disclosures, shabby suit, and
light purse if one is supremacy happy?'
They can be borne with laughter, re-
lished and accepted day after day.
1t is only, perhaps, with woman who
means to be the spur to her husbands
ambition that man can accept a top back
room and observation-disclosures. If he fears
that she cannot be happy without villa
and rose trees, it is not wise to take her
into back room, even if she is willing
to go.
The right sort of girl will go anywhere
with the man she loves, and accept any
fare For his own sake she'll push him
on to fortune, as many of our most ia
nous men have been pushed by their
wives In the homely philosophy of Mr.
Dooley: Its tn business iv men to
fight, an tn business Nv their wives TT
to make thin fight

HELPFUL HINTS ON DRESS.
Colors Which Are Becoming to Bru-
nettes Very frequently Are
Deadly to Blondes.

That it is more difficult for blonde
to dress becomingly than for a bru-
nette is the dictum of a celebrated art
list. He asses his opinion partly on the
fact that blondes nearly always at
tempt delicate blues and presume to
wear ivory white, whereas "only
blondes with perfect compilations ought
ever to- attempt pale blues and "only
the fairest and best caredfor blondes
should risk ivory white. All others
had best cling to cream tints."
Brunettes, it appears, have all the
warm tones to select from-red,
orange, yellow and a few of the pur-
pies and blues. Blondes must pick
their gowns from the cool tones-the
pinks, blues, green's and violets and
black and white. Pink, which nearly
every woman over 40 seems possessed
to wear, is "a shocking telltale, reveal
ing the ravages of time in the cruelest
way. Whenever the concealment of
age is consideration, it should be
avoided
Yellow is also deadly color if worn
near fair lair. 1t robs it completely
of its color and luster. Pink and red
are both trying when worn in juxta-
position to the face, though of the
two, 1t is preferable to wear them
above the face rather than about the
neck. Dark puppies, blues and greens
should be avoided by women who
have a tendency to be haggard, with
dark circles under the eyes and hollow
cheeks. White and black gowns, when
successfully designed, are about the
most becoming gowns a woman can
wear, this artist says in conclusion

TWO NEAT CORSET COVERS
Thew Are Not So Difficult to Make as
Might Be Supposed at the
First Glance.

To make either OF the pretty corset
covers here illustrated, yard of fine
nainsook is required, provided one gets
the widest kind-otherwise yard and
quarter is necessary. For the first cor
set cover one needs also three yards OF
lace, three of beading, nine lace medal
lions and one skein of mercerized cotton.
After cutting out the pattern the medal
lions are carefully basted in place, over
cast and the cloth underneath is cut
away. A circle, feather-stitched in cot
ton, goes around each medallion. If de-
sired another. medallion may be placed

Kerosene Lays the Dust.

A few drops Of coal oil on your
busting cloth will brighten your fur
niture, as well as prevent dust from
flying from the cloth. One tablespoon
full added to each boilerful Of water
will lessen labor, as well as whiten
your clothes when washing. A few
drops added to your boiled starch wi!
make ironing easier.

FACTS ABOUT MATRIMoNY.
Taking the Average in Civilized Coun-
tries Married Life Lasts Twenty
Seven Years.

Statistics gathered in various coun-
tries of the civilized world show that
married life, on the average, lasts q
years, or a little over one-third of q
mans life, estimating the latter at three
score-and-ten. The illustration pre-
sents the idea in graphic form, for the
happiness or consolation of those inter-
ested, as the case may be.
The figures also show that, as rule,
married people live longer than the I'M
married, which carries out the dictum

A Timely Word Of Caution.

A floor should never be swept In a.
room where there is q contagious pa-
tient. It should be washed with a
cloth and dipped in borax water, so
that no dust annoys the patient and no
assortment of germs are flung up in
the air, to drift out of the window into
the hall en- route to fresh victims.
