never could see why man should
know his wife too well to say thank
you to her when she performed some
kind office toward him and vice versa
Life is not commonplace as 1t was given
to us; men and women make it So by
being commonplace. If both men and
women would make an effort TO Keep
themselves fresher and more interest
ing life itself would be fresher and more
interesting 10 them. 1t is all very well
to say that a wife must keep herself
young and charming. She should. as
q duty to herself and to her husband
But the husband has duty, TOO, and
that is II be true to the best that is
within him, and not consider marriage
as a state which permits any more in
dolence or lack of consideration than
courtship. 1t is a two-sided affair this
and the husbands duty is to see 10 il
that he does not make his wife COM
monplacc. There is nothing that will
keep whmau so fresh 10 herself and
TO her hu usland as the freshness of 4
mans heart for her That makes life

Chill sauce is fine made as follows:

1t goes without saying that every
girl, at some time in her life, reads
q some books. 1t is equally true that
there are many, many girls who find
their greatest pleasure in books. but
who, alas, lack the fine art of cho osing
them, or the equally fine art of reading
them. One of the greatest men in the
world, as well as one of the greatest
readers in the world, whose words of
wisdom are just now specially appre-
ciated-i mean, of course, MIR. Glad
81 one-once said, He who reads that
in which he is not interested merely
wastes his time" and this / believe to
be true. The same great student, at the
age of rs, studied Hindustani. and in
variably kept three books going-one
book TO which he was giving absolute
study, another a book of fine ESSAYS or
some special specimen Of good English,
and another novel-a veritable ro-
mance-and he flew from one to the
other just as fancy led him, never los
ing the key to either one of the three,
and being the gamer rather than the
loser by his own method of enjoying
books.
The books that idealize vice, the
books that make the wicked triumph
ant and show crime as a power, are the
books that leave nasty taste in your
mouth and make you feel as if you
l.
1t is well to leave such books alone.
But good novel, Is there anything
equal to it? Think of the story of
Henry Esmond;" think of the pleas
ures and joys that came to him, and
then, sympathizing with him in his dis
appointments, being proud of him in
his successes, following his fortunes in
to this new land, you will go among the
Virginians and there read how he was
loved and respected. Or choose the
"Tale of Two Cities" and learn how
one man can give his life for another
because he loved much. Do You good
Such books can do nothing else. No
really good novel ever induced girl
or a woman to initiate vice or to de-
spise virtue. The novel is the printed
panorama of life, and the tears, the
smiles and the heartbeats that We, the
readers, give t. it. 1t makes the music
that now is almost still. again is wild

again has all the majesty of one ol
Mozart's masses. If you want to enjoy
yourself, if you want to make life seem
better and happier. lose your own per-
sonality in good book.
