given to romance? Or is it that people
always grow staider as they grow
older?
Is it possible that the wife cares less
for love than the sweetheart used to
do? Not in her heart of hearts, be-
lieve. But once surrounded by it, she
grows unconscious Of it, and imagines
it no longer of supreme Importance,
even making the hideous mistake OF
fancying it can be done without. Fa-
miliarity breeds contempt, and so she
lightly prizes love to her own undoing.
Stick fast to the high ideals Of court
ing days; don't let yourself be per-
suaded they are foolish or old-fashion-
ed; don't, when love becomes a daily
certainty, fancy sentiment can be dis
pensed with, or you will wake up with

Girls Get Their Doses Mixed with Good
Results.
~ received shock about the value
of medicine quite early in my career
said q woman doctor who has been
ten years establishing a paying prac-
tice in New York. After taking my
degree I accepted a position as resi-
dent In large girls school up the
Hudson. Such a position is no sine
cure. In a school with 300 girls the
resident doctor will have about three
times as much to do as in school
with an equal number of boys. The SUI
perintendent discovered that some of
the girls were having their medicine
bottles filed at a drug store in the
village without the knowledge Of the
house doctor, and that they were doing
themselves positive harm. The order
was sent out that empty medicine bot
ties must be returned to the school doc
tor. I was expected to keep record
of them in a book set aside for the
purpose.
"It was the custom of the girls to
leave their medicine bottles on the
dining-roo table. Then they could
take them either before or after meals,
as prescribed, and there was little dam
ger of forgetting the dose. The girls
were expected to write their names on
the label, so that the mattresses would
know where to put each bottle when
setting the tables.
II remember distinctly prescribing
for Miss Crank for loss of appetite
and weak digestion. She was to take
a teaspoonful of her medicine before
meals. The same morning prescribed
for Miss Blank a medicine to reduce
the heart action. She had too much
vitality. She was to take her dose i'm
mediately after meals. The bottles
were sent to the dining-room and the
girls wrote their names on them as
usual. In few days Miss Crank
came back with a bottle Of medicine
half filed.

Choosing Embroidery.

In choosing embroideries look first
at the material; some of the sheerest
are less fiimsy than the apparently
sturdy. Look next at the edge; if the
stitching is too shallow it's likely to
pull out soon. If the scallop is in
deep points, it's bound to curl up at
the first wearing.
Lace and embroidery combinations
the new combinations that the fash
ionable world is petting to death-are
myriad, from the tiny. wavy edges,

woman,s Best Profession.

In the last year more than hun
dred young women have deserted ca
reers on the stage for careers in the
home. This week two young women
of this city have announced their de-
termination to quit the footlights for
matrimony. They are successful in
their roles. They have had the ap-
plause of appreciative audiences show
cred upon them. They know we'll the
glitter and attraction of the stage, and
to woman, with her natural love for
admiration, the attraction of the stage
is great. Yet they are putting the
applause and glitter Of a theatrical ca
reer behind them for the quieter ca
reer of marriage.
Human nature gives wisdom to such
of its people as will heed. The young
women who are giving up professional
life for matrimony are wise beyond
the wisdom of their sisters who preach
kind. Experience has taught them
early that matrimony is inevitably the
career for woman. The making of a
home is the work to which woman can
best turn her hand. She is fitted for
this work, and she may OF may not
be fitted for business or professional
career In business or professional
life woman is always at a disadvan-
tage. 1t is not her natural environ
ment. She Is forced to come into di-
rect competition with man in his own
field. Generations have trained him
for it, and he is much at home. Wom-
an Is as yet newcomer in the fields
of business, and she is not fitted to
compete successfully with the strong
er sex. She has not mans chances of
winning success. Eventually evolu-
ton may place her upon the same
level as man in this regard, but at
present it is matrimony that spells sue
cess for her. A position as general
rnanageress Of a home is where she
is fully gifted to shine. There she
makes man, who is master of the
business and professional world, take
upon himself most insignificant ap-
pearance. 1t is there that she may
win her most brilliant success, and
it is there that she will find herself
most satisfied with life. Matrimony is
still woman's best profession.-Chica-
