wives and uouse,vives.

A good wife should be a good house
wife. but good housewife is not nee
essarily a good wife. We know, accord
ing to the cynics at least that the best
way to a mans love is through his di-
geStiye organs; and, be this true OF not,
it must be confessed that a bad dim
ner is trial to a mans affection, espe-
cially if often repeated. But no one
with any idea about his own comfort
likes the wife to be entirely merged
i'll the houSeWife-the woman he has
chosen as companion and friend to be
wholly given over to the work of the
house without any time or thought for
anything else. The happy medium is
What is Wanted-the wife that is Il SIlf-
flciently good housewife to make the
daily wheels run we'll and smoothly,
and yet one that has time to spare, at
least for her husband, from her
housekeeping cares. No man likes to
be set aside for the things which make
for his own comfort, and the woman
who is always busy when her husband
wants her, too busy to heed him, who
is always occupied and must not be
disturbed when he would take her for
a walk, is running great risk of alien
ating his affections, and of making him
seek his pleasure elsewhere than in her
society. Many people have just re-
sumed the even tenor of their ways
after the holidays; now is the time to
make a fresh start-just give little
heed to the matter l hint at here, and
it may be for the good of many most
estimable women who yet are not
quite living the best life possible for
them, because they are too wrapped
up in ''the trivial round, the common

At last we were to be admitted to

slippers, we were ushered through the
low. dark doorway into little court
with room on either side. The wlfe
was seated on the ground in a most
nict,,resoue costume of dark coiofs,
without veil, preparing the evening
meal. Hanging on the mud walls were
various pans and cooking utensils
some of which were bronze, others ter
ra-cotta. On the floor was BRASS

the coffee over the first was a large
earthenware dish in which a nat CAKE

Fashion Notes.

The simple coat for general wear is
the short cut, tan covert cloth.
One of the most popular fashions Of
this season is the surplice waist.
The wearing of a scarf in tulle, chif-
fOn, lace or thin silk has become a
yeritable furore.
All the fashionable garments fol
street and evening wear reveal the
short-waisted tendency.
Black and white pin-checked taffeta
is being made up into sweet little box
coats for baby's wear.
A new changeable velvet in three
shades, called scarabee, will be among
the successful novelties.
Corset covers are trimmed almost
alike front and back, but the decora>
tons rarely extend below pretty
yoke depth.
The bright, scarlet coats, displaying
green broadcloth collars, are still con-
sidered the smartest for the small
mans wear.
The kimono craze has extended to
wraps, and now the most gorgeous
evening creations fashioned along these
lines are shown.
Many of the early fall models in
millinery have high, wide brims, high
crowns and are trimmed with sweep
ing ostrich feathers that are shaded.
The skirts of some handsome gowns
are SO wide that crinoline seems al
most a necessity to keep their ample
folds from retarding the steps of the
| WearerS.

To Curl the Hair.

A good lotion which may be used if
one desires to keep their hair in curl
for a while is made by using three tea
spoonfuls of ounce seeds to pint Of
hot water. Pour the water over the
seeds and let it stand for several hours.
If too thick this can be thinned out by
adding a little water or cologne. Mois-
ten the hair with this fluid before
curling.

To soften the skin.

Oatmeal water for softening the

of cream. Apply to the skin and wipe
