WIVES AND SECRETS.

AS husband and wife are one, they
should have no secrets one from an
other, declares the Newark Adver-
tiser. A wife can never rightly and
safely do anything which she would
not like to tell him. Though 1t may
seem to her too trivial to be worth
speaking of. but she should have moth
ing in her life which is Intentionally
hidden from him.
The only secrets which she may
rightly keep from him ere other peo-
pies. but of these she should hear ms
few as possible. Confidence thrust
upon her without her consent she is
not bound to respect, and she should
be very careful TO whom she gives her
word not to repeat anything which
may be told her. 1t is a safe plan
when asked to keep secret to say
Don't tell me If you would mind my
telling my husband" and If the friend
who would contlde in her is a man
she should do so as matter of duty.

There is no longer any question us to
voman's capacity for business: the
only question is of endurance There
is n fascination about earning and
spending ones own money. Women

one of the trust companies told me
that the gain in her department for the
year 1904 was 1000 accounts, and a
bank account is the rule rather than
the exception with working women.
This means that the next generation of
working women will be better informed
on finance, less improvident, more valu-
able and command better wages

FRENCH MILLINERY.

Needless to say, no milllners are con-
fining themselves to the comparatively
single styles that are in immediate
request. Among the innovations made
in smart hats is the use OF zibelinc
felts, which divide favor with cloth
felts, and the appearance of somewhat
broader brims than were shown earlier
in the season. Some of the capellnes
deserve the name of picture hats. One
in rough felt of n light peacock blue
shade turns up In flutes behind and
waves over the brow in front. The
crown is of medium height and fiat
topped, and has bands of blue velvet
folded around 1t. An ostrich feather
Of the same color is attached behind
to a velvet bandeau so that its tip
curls over the edge of the brim. and
a blue osprey sweeps round from the
back of the crown to the front.
Another, also turned up behind but
not in flutes. is n capeline of biscuit
colored cloth felt blocked In one with
n circular bandeau increasing in width
toward the back. The low-domed or
basin crown and three-fOurths of the
brim are stretched over with olive
green velvet, leaving only border OF
felt visible on the upper side. At the
base of the crown is n tightly twisted
torsade of the same velvet. Between
the crown and turned-up back OF the
brim is plume OF three olive green
ostrich tips. Ribbon velvet to match
Is arranged in n cascade of loops fall
ing from the bandeau behind.
The deep pink inscribed under the
name of Statuette on this seasons
Color Card is adopted for smart
capeline in rough felt trimmed with
satin. ostrich tips and aigrette to
match. A broad piece of the satin is
draped tightly round the crown; the
tips are arranged in poufs surmounted
by aigrette, and one of these is placed
ON the left side Of the crown, and the
other against the brIm. A few Of the
new capelines have the brim turned
up in front and pressed down in the
nape of the neck behind, contrary to
the rule followed this season. How
far they will take remains to be seen.
One of these models is in creamy
tinted felt. lined, so to speak, with
ostrich feathers sewn fiat against the
brim and trimmed outside with vel
vet and paradise tail, the whole to
match the felt Another is Of deep
purple cloth felt. This has the same
arrangement of ostrich feathers under
meath. but the crown is encircled by
wreath OF large velvet roses shaded
from light mauye to dark violet, closed
by satin bow.-Milllnery Trade Re

Trading With Savaaes.

Beads and tobacco are the open Sc

An Australian official who has been

the possessor of a small lake, having

In casting your vote in the pri-
mary Saturday it might be we'll
to remember the name of W. D.
Pethal, a candidate for the legis-
lature. We speak thus of Mr.,
Pethel not because he is a friend
of ours nor because we have any
personal prejudice towand any
other candidate, but because we
know that he will, if elected, re-
present all the people of the coun-
tv and will stand as a safety
valve against the schemes and
tricks of the boss and his pets.
If the county had two like Pethel
she would be much the better off
thereby.
