the little word of commentator or en-
enlargement which would mean 80
much to her. ''Trifes," some people
might say, but, then, such trifies mean
much TO a woman, and surely a word
or two of praise would not be very
much out of place.
Oftentlmes it Is pure thoughtlessness

of recognition of his wife's efforts.

knew the difference 1t would make to
her he would often pass some pleasant
remark about her work In the home, or,
perhaps. praise her new dress. Then,
the wife likes to have some say in the
running of things, and, given the op-
portunity, she will probably run them
more successfully than her husband. If
the t~houghtless husband would only
trust his wife as he used to do before
he was married he would be surprised
at the difference 1t would make In the
home life.

why Home Happiness is MARRIED.

Why Home Happiness is Marred.
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 a looks
upon 1t as his function to earn money (;
his wife to spend it as soon as earned.

this stage Is reached.

1t Is the woman's duty TO make that
home more than a mere storehouse of

and 1t devolves upon her to use those
materials to the best advantage, to
make sure that their home shall be
In truth a home, a 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 a willing slave
to its capricious dictates.

The Shopping Fever.


Unhappy the who does not
love to shop. The rich pima 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-
ditures 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 a spool of thread or a
card of buttons brings n into the
cheerful gaieties of human life. Wheth-
er In city department store or in coun-
try shop. n 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. A 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 numberless packages which
contained her purchases. There Vert
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 t~estifies TO the
slight lapses from sanity made by even
the sanest of shoppers. 81 always keep
one of my worst bargains hung up in
plain sight" said a certain wise wo-
man, "as a remedy in my next attack
Of the shopping fever!"

THE UPHOLSTERED GIRL.

She Tells How She Manages to Get
Clothes Ont of the Ordinary.
where did you find such odd and
picturesque clothes?' asked the fluffy
blonde of the lissome brunette in a
terra Gotta house gown with a loose
chain girdle. Everything you wea
looks so different and distinct from
other girls clothes, and yet"
And yet you know l can't afford
imported or expensive things?" finished
the other. well, that's just it, and
III tell you.
MY dress allowance is small and
my ideas are large. but fortunately
for me L can wear the picturesque.
When l realized that satin and velvet
and fine broadcloth were beyond my
purse l decided to find what would
look just as well or better on me and
cost less.
Il don't go in for suits, but for
i'rocks and long coats, the latter rather
loosely made from plain materials. A
silk or chiffon scarf around my neck
is more conspicuous than my wrap.
always, and my hat, generally a big
one, is in the same tone as the scarf.
You know one can buy exquisite
things in chiffon and soft silks for s.,
whereas good furs will mount up TO
about ten times that sum.
Then 1 wanted unusual shades and
patterns for my frocks, house gowns
and occasional blouses. / searched this
town over before l struck the right
place. and where do you suppose it
was?"
Il can't imagine" responded the
other.
I'm the upholstery department! They
have the loveliest silks and soft drap-
cries you ever saw, and all in such odd
colors and designs.
1.-The silks are a different quality
from those you find in the dress silks;
the goods are wider and wear better.
Then there are other materials by the
yard, soft and odd, which wear better
than silk and cost less.
This little gown 1 have on was
made from just such stun, and I have
a home evening gown that I made my
self from a pair of white madras cur
tains. The dull reds and pinks that I
am so FOND of n usually wear are
easily found in the drapery depart
ments and the yellows are perfectly
lovely.
'sThe rough pongee which was worn
so much for frocks last summer and
was considered a great novelty had
been sold In the drapery departments
for several seasons, and I had a dress
made from it long before I saw an
other. Then the cords and curtain
chains make lovely trimmings and gir-
dies.
II have found the scheme a great
money saver as well as a mea of
getting the unusual and picturesque
designs. OF course. l don't think ev-
erybody could do tin fact, I'm glad
they can't. A girl must be Of rather
slim and picturesque type, and IL she
| can, as / do, make her w clothes,
| SO much the better. To anybody like
that l would say, Try it, but to 9TH
ers, decidedly, Don't"

passage that had then attracted her at

before presented itself TO her in its full

well-thumbed leaves, she read aloud the
passage which had provoked remark:
THE ancient Britons were little bet

Few officers Of the Confederate States
of America failed to retain the love and
respect of those for whom they fought,
but among them all. Joseph Wheeler
remained to his death one of the most
generally beloved. Even after he had
donned the blue again and fought for
a reunited country in the Spanish war,

as peculiarly theirs.
