And the woman has discovered that she can do without q mans aelp sEsd a-d altogether fl she wishes to She doesn't want 70 cling. and she doesn't have to. She Is independent, earns her own good money. and can vie with man nearly every time ia hls own business if he tries. She has fine positions al her command and can pick and choose. The verdict has gone forth that she is reliable, and then she neither gambles. drinks nor smokes. No one thinks Of reproaehing her If she doesn't care 10 marry.

Children Should Help.

An important item in systematic economy is tae apportioning or regu- lar employment to the various mem bcrs of family. If a housekeeper can secure the cooperation Of all her family she will find that many hands make light work There is no greater mistake than bringing up children to feel that they must be waited upon and be taken care of by others The extent to which young children can be made useful in family is surprising to those who have never seen a sys- tomatic and regular plan for utilizing their services. When properly done, their service is a pleasure 10 them eelyes as well as 10 the housekeeper, and it cXerts an important moral in- fuence upon their character.

MARRIAGE A HARD PROBLEM.
How Long Should Man Wait for Psy
Geological Moment?

Marriage Is ,never-ceasing prob
lem; it is impossible to tell just when
the moment of extreme regret will
come and the limit of human endur-
ance will be reached. Down in Mis-
souri, there is a man who has filed
an application for divorce because his
wife called him names" back in 1868.
Undoubtedly he has good reason for
his delaying taking determined meas
ures. Possibly he felt that the psy-
geological moment had not arrived.
Perhaps the enormity of the offense
and the knowledge that the law gives
him recourse did not Immediately pre-
sent themselves. And it may be that
the other woman did not come along
until 1905. The average husband is so
cons1derate and tender-hearted that
he shrinks from complaining of his
domestic lot until the other woman
heaves in sight, and it does not take
her long to convince him how absurd
1t is to continue to live with a wife
who called him names thirty-seven
years ago.--Exchange. ~

it as the most homogeneous pile gen
