Experience of Woman Who
Spoiled Her Husband by Making
Him Too Comfortable-The Art
OF the Open Door :: :: ::

You may talk about the 'motherlng

in the face, but you won't impress
me-" remarked the woman who was
twice a widow and hoped to be for q
third time n bride
But I thought began the young

every separate bone of me ached.
And meantime he kept getting more
exacting and more spoiled every day,
just as a child would under the same
circumstances. If anything went the
least tiny bit wrong he would fuss and
fume and throw things around and
feel himself to be the most injured

A Fortunate Awakening.

Il don't know how things would
have ended if l hadn't gone away on a
well earned visit, during which l re-
ceived a letter from my husband beg
ging me to come home, as the house
was at skies and sevens and the cook
ing simply awful That opened my
eyes for some reason, and 1 saw just
in what relation | was held by him
as a sort of upper housekeeper and
factotum. whose business it was to
minister to his comfort When l final
" came home l was arrayed like Solo
mon in all his glory. and I was amply
repaid by the look of amazement and
admiration in my husbands eyes.
Since then I have let the 'mothering'
performance take care of itself. A
woman wants to be a mans compan-
ion and sweetheart and not his moth
er or his nurse. Take warning from
me and let your husband button your
boots instead of your buttoning his.'

The Genuine Thing.

What is the real act of hospitality?
Always being ready to welcome peo-
pie without appearing embarrassed or
annoyed if they drop in on you sud
denly
But that takes money!
No, indeed, for some of the most
charming afternoons I have spent
have been to the accompaniment of
sliced bread and butter and a cup of
tea, while some of the most wearisome
evenings have been devoted to nine
course dinners in elaborate dining
rooms.
No. the spirit is what counts. It is
the ready smile, the word of welcome
and sympathy, the tea table spread on
the shady veranda and the mistress of
the house ready for her friends. dress
ed in a crisp muslin and with her sew
ing or embroidery in hand.
These things are ten times more in
viting than formal parlors and formal
ways.
The woman who understands the
real art of hospitality, which is the
art of the open door. will never lack
fo- - - friends she wants.

Hunor auo Philosophy
THE MODERN VoYAcER
By DUNCAN N. SMITH

Those who go down to the sea in ships
II they only have the price.
Can have their meals served a Ia carte.
With everything on ice
The deckhand does not climb rope;
His job is much more soft.
He takes the elevator up
When he would go aloft.
To toss around for thirty days
No longer is good form.
The modern vessel skips along
Unmindful Of a storm.
The sailors do not loudly swear
And drink grog from can.
They act as docile and polite
AS any hired man.
No longer does the hollow oak
Run lightly on its keel
Today the liner is composed
OF several tons OF steel,
AT anchor II no longer rides
When ended is its course.
They run the vessel to a dock
And tie 1t like a horse
Hardtack and all that kind of grub
Is very much tabooed,
For those who want to pay the bill
May dine on Broadway food.
An ocean ride is quite as safe
AS sitting meath a tree.

they've done
