WHICH MAKE BEST HUsBANDst

| | Do rich or poor men make best huN- bands?
 This is a question which lies near the heart of every girl, especially those who are trying to solve the question of matrimony. Nowadays so many girls are by their own confession looking for rich husbands that it seems a rather proitless and thankless task to ask them to consider the other side of the question.
 Tt is admitted that when a poor girl marries rich man, although she may be more comfortable in body, she is not i so comfortable in mind," says an ex- change.
 The rich man knows he is rich, as a rule, more's the pity, and on that &C., count is very apt to be a little domi- neering. He is aware that wealth can Iusually command respect, and many other things. therefore if. say, he weds comparatively poor girl, he expects great deal more from her on account of his money. The probability is that he would be disappointed. and in that case cat and dog life might easily re- suit. On the other hand, the poor man knows exactly how he is placed; he knows that he can command little or nothing; he does not expect adulation | or worship from the girl he weds; he meets her on an equal footing. Natur- ally he is not disappointed in his mar riage; he gets what he expects--a com panion; and everything being equal, the marriage is likely to turn out well. l Then a rich mans relations are thorn in the flesh of his wife; if they do not altogether ignore her they at any rate treat her in a cold manner and give her scant respect. She is looked upon as an interloper; she will, in all likelihood, cheat them out of the wealth they expected to inherit. Un- der these circumstances 1t is probable that they cherish good feelings toward Iher?
 1 "It is not. Now. the girl who weds a poor man runs no such risks; the man's relatives are just the same as herself; they receive her in a kindly way and by so doing make her life quite tolerable. Moreover. the man has no great amount of money to leave; therefore she cheats his relatives not at all.
 Again, a rich mans wife has. under Iany circumstances, many social obli-
 gations; she must entertain, and so play the hostess that tongues be not set Iawagging by any deficiencies she may show as regards manners, or even lgrammar.
 Take dress. Well, rich mans wife has merely to order any garment she may fancy, or having a fancy for jew Ielry. she visits a shop, and the things done. But she really puts no value on any of these things-they are too easily lgot.
 "The poor mans wife cannot. of Icourse, get whatever she desires. but if she wants dress, or a little bit of jewelry there is a long saving up. then comes the happy day when she and her husband go and make selection. And | this much may be said with absolute Iconfldence, that no wife of rich man can ever understand the intense happi- ness of the poor mans wife when she proudly wears the coveted article for the first time. win; every penny towards it's cost had to be carefully considered-her joy is indeed great on the possession of it."
 THE NEWEST FAD. | Perhaps the newest fad woman-kind has adopted is that of the First Aid to the Injured" or Emergency Angel.
 But this fad is one that is a help to humanity and one that is taken up by all classes. Of this fad The New York American has the following:
 The emergency angels are graduates
 of the First Aid to Injured classes that have just closed their first quarter at | the Red cross Hospital, New Hork. | The emergency angel is usually a
 woman, but may be a man. When she
 shows you the card with the five words
 on il. you are looking at an equivalent l of the certificate she has received, cer- 1 tifying to all who may be interested | that she has passed a satisfactory ex- animation in the twenty-four lectures | that constitute the quarter, and that ! she has q right to claim your case
 That is. she has proven herself com
 potent to take charge of your case until you are in a hospital or under the
 direct care of a physician. She may not wear the Red Cross | badge because that is a symbol reserv-
 ed only for times of war. and the emer- gency angels are an army of peace But she carries her card at present with First Aid to the Injured" print ed upon it. and after awhile a siuatble
 badge will be chosen for the graduates of the class The emergency angel is not a trained nurse She is only | humane citizeness who has studied to prepare herself to aid just such eases as yours-an accident or sudden nness on the street or elsewho=7 when a doc tor is not present.
 She has 7 right to wave back the of fSious and smothering crowd. She may minister to your needs until you no or ha
