THE CURSE OF Discomfort.
Happiness impossible Where This
Folly lis INDUCED In.


II she Is unmarried she is discon-
tented at the want OF romance In
her life; her main desire in life is
70 change her fathers home for one
OF her own.
II she Is married the causes Of her
discomfort are multiplied indefinitely
and where she was out OF harmony
with one set OF circumstances she is
now in discord with 20. says a writer
in the Chicago Inter Ocean.
She is disconnected because her hus-
band Is not her lover and marriage a
perpetual courtship; because her hus-
band is irritable or because he is so
good-natured that he maddens her
with his stolidity.
Os she is discontinued because she
has so many household duties; be-
cause she has so few servants or be-
cause she has so many OF them.
Wherever. in short, the discontinued
woman is placed Il is just where she
would rather not be.
Life is a bewildering tangle at best,
but the discontinued woman is not the
one TO make it smoother.
She is a general nuisance to herself
as well as to the world at large
And the Disconnected woman is only
another name for the selfish, unsym-
pathetic woman.

How to entertain a club of ladies on

swered by the following suggestions:
! For the table centerpiece get a per-
fectly formed pumpkin. hollow it out

with fruit. grapes. bananas. rosy

II a basket in the shape of a horn of

lists. suspend 1t over the table by rib
bons or tulle filed with chrysanthe-
NUNS. which are the flower for No
yember; Louise Alcott mentions them
in Little Men" as being used on the
Thanksgiving day table.
II would be a very pretty idea to
ask the ladies' TO powder their hair
and to wear dark gowns with white
kerchiefs; in fact. to wear anything
suggestive of colonial days. Make
boxes to hold sailed nuts out of vel
low tissue paper chrysanthemums and
have the candle shades carry out the
