why Home Happiness is MARRIED
There Is not that sympathy and com
radeship existing between women and
their husbands that there should be.
Most of the foolish persons who, with
out attempting to put matters right in
their own homes, bewail their misfor-
tunes or endeavor to show others the
paths of happiness are miserable
solely because of their selfishness
People to-day think only Of themselves
the husband of his dinners, his sport
his pleasure; the wife of her dress. her
shopping, her idleness. One does not
consider the needs and desires and am
billions of the other. The man looks
upon it as his function to earn money :;
his wife to spend it as soon as earned
Home soon loses its significance when
this stage is reached.
Man usually tolls to secure home !;
1t is the woman's duty to make that
home more than a mere storehouse of
furniture. He provides the materials
and it devolves upon her to use those
materials to the best advantage. to
make sure that their home shall be
in truth a home. haven of rest and
peace after the rush and toll of mans
daily work.
1t is undoubtedly the part of a good
wife to interest herself heartily in all
that concerns her husband, to give him
full and intelligent sympathy always
and in everything, and to believe in
him. The woman who looks we'll to
the ways of her household has her full
work cut out for her. She must be
able to realize responsibility, and bear
it fifty; not one who considers it the
chief object of her existence to enjoy
herself She should be able to hold
her own and take her place in society
without yielding herself willing slave
to its capricious dictates.
A woman may be thoroughly prac-
teal and dOmeSticated, yet never be
in danger of degenerating into a domes-
tic drudge whose whole soul is OBJ
sOrbed in her dustbin and saucepans
But to be a comrade one must be able
to do more than merely minister to the
needs of the body; there must be men
tai sympathy, understanding and re-
spOnsiveness.
The woman who makes the heart of
her husband to rejoice will not only
order the affairs of her household wise
ly, she will also keep in touch with
the broad issues of life and pay proper
attention to the outside interests which
appeal to him.

The design and the name of this
new design are both original, yet the
mode escapes eccentric lines, which
would probably prevent its becoming a
fashionable favorite. Shaded green
French straw is used, the darkest tones
being woven into the ridged brim, while
the crown is almost white. A fold OF
white silk ribbon sandwiched between
two of green encircleS the crown, end
ing in large rosette, pierced with gilt
quilts. Loops of velvet ribbon are
massed under the brim at the back
A note of marked simplicity is struck
in the trimming of a number of the
daintiest spring hats. The shapes are
so decorative and unique in themselves
that they are easily spoiled by over
decoration. The bands of two colors
of ribbon draped around the crown is a
popular and effective idea. There is
always a very pale tint-frequently
white-in combination with a color
dark enough for decided contrast. The
hat sketched here is very smart in
black and white straw, with black quilts
and black and white ribbon, the black
being in satin and the white in taffeta.
The high-crowned hats, while in every
instance becoming to tall women, must
be chosen with care by women of short
stature else they will only tend to en-
phasize her deficiency in this direction.
Artstically trimmed, though, they can
be affected with much success.

The Shopping Fever.

Unhappy the woman who does not
love to shop. The rich woman may
find her pleasure in choosing the best
and most beautiful of the many things
offered for her inspection. The woman
who must reckon carefully her expen-
Gitufes may taste the joy of economic
ing-the satisfaction of making the
ends meet by virtue of her own clever
contrivance and calculation.
Even to buy spool of thread or a
card of buttons brings one into the
cheerful gaieties of human life. Wheth-
er in city department store or in coun-
try shop, one is likely to find a bit of
friendly gossip, a kindly smile, and the
well-meant effort TO please. for the mu-
tual profit of buyer and seller.
But the Indulgence in the shopping
habit may go too far, and end in dis
aster. \ woman died recently in New
York who had spent two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars in four years,
in shopping for its own sake She never
opened the nmnberless packages which
contained her purchases. There were
piles of them in every room. The poor
woman had gone mad over shopping.
She barricaded her doors to keep out
not only every curious friend, but any
intrusive idea which should interfere
with her mania.
The bureau drawer or the closet filed
with useless but taking spOils from
the bargain counter testifies to the
slight lapses from sanity made by even
the sanest of shoppers. Il always keep

Epic Theater, he would scarcely have

Water Improves Coal.

A year and half ago the British au-
thorities at Portsmouth sunk two tons of
coal in iron crates in a basin of water
at the dock yards. At the same time a
similar quantity of coal was stored in the
open air and covered with tarpaulins. At
intervals of six months samples of each
storage have been burned under scientific
tests, and the results show conclusiyely
that the submarine storage adds to its
value steadily, while storage in the open
air decreased its heat-giving power. Ex-
periments are now to be made to test the
practicability of marine storage on a large
scale. The main difficulty is that the coal
must be dried before it is used to avoid
spontaneous combustion from superficial
moisture

Hats with strings, either scarfs or

Black, white and pale blue comblna-

For more than a year the labor leaders
of France have been preparing for great
movement, the main object of which is the
securing of an eight-hour day for all the
workingmen of the republic. The head
quarters of the crusade are in Paris.
Most of the labor organizations of the
country, having a total membership Of
about 100000 men. gave their approval
to the proposed innovation. Nearly ev-
cry industry was represented in the move
ment and it became apparent few weeks
ago that unless the employers granted the
shorter working day, many and serious
strikes would result. The situation was
aggravated by the bitterness of the strike
in the mining districts. This was for bet
ter pay and conditions, the disaster at
Courrieres giving point and force to
the mems demands. In the early part of
April the postmen of Paris struck for the
eight-hour day and an increase of pay,
as well as the right to form a union.
Employers have been reluctant to grant
the demand for a shorter working day on
the ground that it would make it iInpos-
sible for them to compete with the manu-
facturers of Britain, Germany and the
United States, and that many industries
would be ruined. They also asserted that
the movement was not backed by the real
workingmen of France, but was inaug
urated by anarchists and agitatOrs for
purposes of their own. Politics. toe,
seems to have had a hand in it. and it
was for this reason in particular that the
government interviewed and took extraor-
binary precautions to prevent the carrying
out of revolutionary plots under cover of
labor troubles.
