:.YOUNG WIVES NEED.
MUCH TACT.
Refined Illusion Constitutes at Least One-Half of
Loves Enchantment
BY DOROTHY FENIMORE
BY DOROTHY FENIMORE.
Loves Enchantment.

T is one of the contradictions of
masculine nature that those fem
mime qualities which captivate a
man in the first place are not
necessarily the ones which keep his
love once they have gained it. The de-
light of the eyes may charm him as a
lover, yet bore him as a husband, if
my lady's pretty head is empty, and
her pretty hands are always idle, and
her pretty ears are always pricked for
compliments.
A man may lose his heart to a girl
because she flirts attractively, wears
5000 gowns or is the object of other
mems attentions; but often after he
has married her he expects her to lay
aside the foolishness that caught him,
and cultivate the common, inexpensive
household virtues. AS one wiseacre has
remarked: Men fall in love with girls
at play-but there is nothing so likely
to keep them in love as to see girls at
work"
Women grasp this fact by intuition.
AS soon as girl is engaged she turns
her attention from the art of making
Judges, and of concocting cold cream
for her complexion according to the
latest beauty recipe, and goes to cook
ing school to don bewitching cap and
apron, and snowy oversleeves, and to
Learn how to boil water and potatoes,
to scramble eggs and make creamed
oysters. With pride she shows her
fiance the hat that she has trimmed"
by sticking an ostrich plume on the
side of a ready made turban. And
when he comes to call on week day
evenings he finds her bending demurely
over a 50-cent handkerchief, on the
edge of which she is sewing some imi
tation Valenciennes lace which was
great bargain at 121z cents yard.
She knows, with a shrewdness that
resembles guile, that her lover no
longer cares to have her coquette with
him and keep him on the jump. He's
had enough of that for while. 1t was
hard work, and he is ready for rest
and a foretaste of the quiet pleasures
of domestic bliss.
Considered in the aggregate, unmar-
ried women are astonishingly wise
about managing men. i suppose it is
because they have to make a regular
business of it-there Is so much COM
petition. But as soon as one of them
gets a monopoly of mans affections
she begins to take things easy and to
believe in the efficacy of fate, with all
the superstitious laZiness of an ORR
entail true believer.

SACRAMENTO UNIONS
INDUSTRIAL EDITION

In line with the work which it has
been consistently following for years,
the Sacramento Union on March is
sued a thirty eight page paper in three
sections, two of which were devoted to
the industrial development of the Sac
ramento Valley and tributary counties.
The work is in every respect fully up
to the reputation of that journal for
enterprise and execution.
The great fertile valley is treated
first as a whole and then the several
counties thereof as we'll as those ad-
jacent and related thereto geographic
ally and commercially are given de-
tailed notice and several pages describe
the many and varied attractions of the
capital city.
Many of the articles are by special
writer's. Altogether the work is not
only a credit to it's projectors and
producers, but to the whole region of
which it speaks.

NEGLECTED. CHILDREN
OF A NEGLECTED.
ISLAND.

The benefit to us from Guam may be
chimerical, or purely strategical at any
rate: but our duty to Guam in return
is clearly defined in what Guam is and
ought to be, says Willard French in
Booklovers' Magazine. For seven
years oul flag has foated there-quite
time enough to have begun. We have
mander is Governor of Guam. The
Governor is expected to adjust internal
matters as best he can, with such
means as he can secure from the peo-
pie. There are 1900 of those people,
more a part OF Guam than the STRAIT
egic harbor; and, rightly viewed, all
of our interests there are vitally inter
woven with theirs. They are neither
heathens nor barbarians. Whatever
may be said of Spain's colonial mis-
management, she did what no other
nation has yet done-She thoroughly
Christianized her colonies
There are 1000 children on the island.
1t was never self-supporting under
Spain. Our Government has always
known that the utmost possible reve-
nue. was exhausted long before it could
touch a school: but it has left those
1000 children at Guam for these seven
years without a pennyworth of pro-
vision for their education-no teach
ers, no supplies, no funds, no schools
When Captain Schroeder was Gov
ernor he dreamed out possibility be-
tween economy and increased taxes,
secured American teachers, opened
schools and enrolled 900. Then re-
sources failed and he sent the teach
ers back. Lieutenant Stafford while
Vice Governor, was a NEST earnest
friend of the Chamoros. He opened
and taught an evening school himself.
Commander Dyer, the present Gov
ernor, has made the most successful ef-
fort, through the assistance of his en-
thusiastic and cultivated wife, who
drew the American ladies on the island
into a free educational scheme. The
brownies were so eager that places
were as hard to find as teachers and
supplies; so the age limit was reduced
till only tots from to II were admit
ted. Still they came. crowding; and
now only boys are taken in the morn
ing and girls in the afternoon
In Mindanao the Government builds
schoolhouse and teachers house, finds
teacher and supplies and sends into
highways and hedges. begging little
Moros to come in, while General Wood
Is still obliged to improve the big
Moros by burying them: and the big
Moros-why, they would as soon kill
a teacher as any one else. We have
gone quite mad over education in the
Philippines and not quite mad enough
over Guam.

THE PIANOS LOOKS.

The modern piano is a disgrace, so
far as looks are concerned, says a
writer in the February Country Life in
America. There is no excuse for the
manufacturer, as the public would be
more than glad to get a decent looking
instrument. These designs have been
so bad that many who can afford IL
have had special cases designed by able
furniture designers and architects.
Within the last few years some of the
makers of upright pianos have turned
out some very creditable designs, but
the grand seems to hang just where IL
has been for years. an ugly, clumsy
monstrosity-a Earring note wherever
1t goes Let US hope that the day is
not far distant when one can look upon
his piano as a decorative feature in his
home, and not as an eyesore. tolerated
only for the sake of the sweetness it
contains.

AT THE CAPTAINS TABLE

AS the liner cleared the heads and
the heavy swell of the open Atlantic
became noticeable, dinner was served.
The twenty-six places at the captain 5
table were filled and as the soup ap-
peared the captain addressed his table
companions.

There is one truth in particular that
many cease to heed-a truth which in
girlhood they dared not once forget
that familiarity breeds contempt, and
that it is refined illusion which consti-
tutes at least half of love's enchant-
ment. There is no magic in a wedding
ring which so hypnotizes a man that
he is pleased to see his wife's face all
smeared with grease for sunburn, or
with lemon juice for freckles. Once a
woman told me, with beIated sense
of humor, that her honeymoon was
spoiled by her husbands horror at her
curl-papers and by her offended pride
at his pcremptory command, Don't
you ever let me see you wear those
things again.
When woman has been married a
while she realizes the necessity of tact.
She also learns that love does not re-
main an ethereal thing; it is a genuine
reality, a matter of common sense and
mutual respect.
