!, DAY OFF FOR THE HOUSEWIFE.

The statement recently made by
Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch, a New
York club woman, that divorce and
marital infelicity are caused in almost
every instance, by the ignorance Of
American women" may not be true,
but Mrs. Blatch gives little advice
that might well be followed. If wom-
en- only would use common sense and
take day off from their household
drudgery once week, she insists,
great part of the domestic troubles
would be obviated.
The average woman she says, be-
comes a household drudge as soon as
she Is married. her disposition is sour
I'D and she becomes such self-made
pessim1st as to make her incapable of
bringing up family of healthy mind
RI ',ildren. Here's the way Mrs.
t3a. i, puts it:
y woman who stays all the time in
ner nome helps the community to
stagnate. Her mentality is undevelop-
ed and crude, and she is not one to
whom her husband or son can go for
advice. She may know how to boil
potatoes and ham to perfection, but
she does not know enough to advise
her cnildren whether to become
plumbe or bootblacks or aeronauts.
Her judgment is valueless And yet,
the woman who is good ham boiler
thinks she knows everything
Mrs. Batch may be overdrawins it
slightly, but in the main she is right.
Seven days before the range and be-
hind the broom with the husband and
the family coming home TO meals and
then leaving, Is not condition to
leave mother in a very sweet state Of
mind. It may not wholly sour her
disposition and make ner the scold-
ing wife the New York club woman
pictures, but neither will it fill her
with that enthusiastic joy of living
the spring poets write Of.
The compositor in setting up Mrs.
Blatch's name NAV have made an err
ror. Her name may be Miss Batch"
another of those maiden ladies who
delight in giving advice to their mar
ried sisters, but anyway the advice is
sound. Take a day off occasionally,
Mrs. Housewife. Go down town and
look ut the new hats and the new
choaks whether you can afford them or
not. II there is a matinee, take it in.
If not. stop on your way home and
call on few Of your old friends. You
may keep them from their work for a
few minutes. but if they are of the
class of drudges from whose ranks you
are breaking away, it will do them
good to be kept in idleness for a while
And if the work has accumulated
while you were away, let your hus-
band and the children help you with

Some AUTHORITY has said that a won

Some authority has said that wom-
an should not drag her feet after her
when she walks; neither should she
throw them forward like soldier.
She should move her feet lightly,
dainty and easily with slightly
springy action. but the spring must
not be overdone. She must walk
straight. Her knees should be straight
and her toes turned out slightly.
There must be no artificial bend or
limp; no affectation of lassitude on
the one hand or Of norsiness on the
other. She must not hustle through
with her shoulders constantly in evil
dence and her arms swinging, and
she must mold up her chin.
Now here Is advice from one who
is not an authority Just forget all
of these directions and walk naturally.
If you were designed in natures mold
to walk with your knees other than
straight and without the slightly
springy action the authority speaks
of you will walk more gracefully if
you do not try to spring

A|NLEY VIOLIN
IS AN old One

William Ainley. nephew of Joseph
Ainley, who came to Ottum-
Wa from England in October,
and is now residing on Myrtle street,
Is the possessor Of a valuable violin
which was 46 years old when the
American revolution broke out The
inscription on the interior, stamped
by the maker and where a forgery
could not be made after the instru-
ment had been put together Is
"Antonius Stradivarius Cremonenfia.
Faciebat Ammo" and the date "1729.'
The instrument was manufactured
by the same man that turned out the
street, Oskaloosa The Ainley In

less than the Koett violin.
Following is an account Of the
Koett violin from the Oskaloosa Hec-

years before the War Of the Revolu'
ton broke out. and forty-six years be
fore The thirteen colonies of the Unit
ed states declared their independ
ence The instrument is not only a
curious and interesting relic, but a
most valuable and sweettoned instru
ment which, under the direction of its
master, can still speak to the soul in
its clear. melodious music. The
authenticity of it's age is proven by
the manufacturers stamp on the in.
terror of the sound board where It
would be impossible for an imposter
to change or forge the date after the
instrument was completed. The la

Purchased in Germany.
The violin was purchased over forty
years ago from German, by Mr.
Koett's father. who was a musician CT
renown practically all Of his life. At
the age of sixteen he played in a
large cathedral in Germany, his ma.
tive land, and for fifty-two consecutive
years was the well known organist
Of the st. Mary's Catholic church at
Ottumwa, being practically the only
organist that organization has ever
known. He played as usual at the
church on the Sunday before his
death, which occurred at his home on
the 18th day of November, 1906, just
one year ago. When he died the two
violins which has been his proud pos
sessions, were given to his children,
the one to ]. A. Koett and the other
to Miss Mary Koett Of Ottumwa. The
one which was brought to this city is
the sweeter toned of the two, and

peatedly requested the pleasure of ex-
aiming the instrument in order to
