Training school for Husbands.
Recently in New York City a big
double brownstone house on one Of the
upper streets has been resounding with
cheerful, manly voices, Passersby have
been uncertain as to the use Of the build
ing. The establishment is an innovation.
1t was opened by one Of the mothers
clubs of the city and is a landmark in
the progress Of the twentieth century. 1t
is known as "The Husbands Preparatory
Housekeeping Institution" where men
study scientifically cooking, darning, baby
tending, etc. 1t is the outcome of the
recent remarks Of N. w. Ferris, late DEM
ocratic governor of the state of Michi-
gan, in the course Of which he told a gath
ering of teachers that no woman should
consent to marry unless she was able
in case of necessity, TO look after the finan-

Petite southern Beauty.
When President Roosevelt was in At
lanta on his recent southern tour, says
the New York World, he shattered the
traditional standard upon which the most
beautiful women of the south have been
gagged. The tall, slender, vivacious, pink
rose girl with big hazel eyes and an abund-
ance of soft brown hair, who was undis-
puted queen, has been dethroned. The
petite blonde Of the llly-of-the-valley type
with eyes Of finest blue and a crown Of
bun gold hair has taken her place.
At the reception given to Mr. Roosevelt
in Atlanta, Miss Selma Adelaide Allen was
one of the hundreds Of lady guests who in
line awaited their opportunity to be pre-
sented to the president. After shaking
hands with a large number he was inter-
rupted by Secretary Loeb, who told him
he was exceeding his time limit
"oh, very WE'LL" said the president, but
I can't go until l have been presented to
that young lady over there" pointing to
the graceful. shrinking figure of Miss Allen.
She was told of the presidents wish and
was led blushing and smiling to where he
stood and was presented to him.
Il am honored," said Mr.. Roosevelt,
while holding her hand, as is his custom
with those who particularly attract him,
ito meet the most beautiful woman
have seen in the south"
II was a moment of supreme happiness,
as we'll as embarrassment, to the young
lady, who managed to say, quite modestly'
"Oh, thank you, Mr.. President; but I'm
afraid our southern hospitality has blinded
you somewhat to our defects" Then the
band struck up, 1.-THE Prettiest Girl in
Georgia" Men and women gathered con-
graduating the recipient of the president
favor, and quicker than it can be told
new standard had been set for the most
beautiful southern woman.
Miss Allen is a remarkably lovely yount
woman, one of the fairest flowers in At
lantas rosebud garden of girls. Her blue
eyes, under dark lashes, complexion o
blended rose and gardenia, well poised
head, crowned in vivid gold presents VIVA
De Vela would term "a glorious colo
scheme"
