With all due respect to Mr.. Charles M.
Schwab, and bis opinion as to the best
way to win a husband.-and keep him.
his address on the subject, delivered in a
lecture to girls recently. is by no means
the last word on the question.
Mr.. Schwabs mind. accustomed to deal
with tons of steel. blast furnaces and ma
terial problems of that kind, might find
its affinity In the person of a woman
whose Bible was n cook book and whose
god was a kitchen range, but there are
men who find pleasure in a wife whose
conversation runs In other channels be-
sides food and housecleaning. Mr.. Schwab
may speak for himself, but can he ex-
press the opinion of the sex?
Naturally enough, when a man and a
husband returns from what he regards
as a hard day at the office. a brilliantly
executed nocturne performed by the wife
he fondly believed was preparing supper
does not take the place of beefsteak and
its adjuncta. Neither will mastery dis
cussion of Ibsen's DOLLS House keep
the dust from gathering on his pet and
particular tables In the library. or find
him his pipe when he can't remember
where he meant to put IT.
But 1t Is equally doubtful If he cares
to listen to a lengthyy discussion as to
the exact amount of lard to be used in
pie crust. The probability Is that he can
discuss a bond sale or a cocktail with
equal facility, so why should a wife not
be as wen Informed concerning music
and mushrooms, omelets and operas?
AS long as variety remains the spice of
life the woman who car combine duty
and pleasure and can talk and act them
e%reditably need have little fear OF 'single
cussedness."
The study of Greek. Latin and the
higher arts (whatever those are) are also
tabooed by Mr.. Schwab. He places the
seal of his disapproval, besides. upon the
cultivation of aggressive qualities. while
the entrance of woman as a candidate
for matrimony into the business world
arouses nothing but antagonism In his
steel trust heart. Taking theI last point
first, SEINE husbands as much married
as Mr.. Schwab have iscover that busi-
ness life by no means untitled their wives
for the practice of domestic economy,
and a reasonable amount of aggressive
ness In a woman has proved to some men
they are. perhaps, lords of creation
only by sufferance after all.
As to cultivation, by study the per-
of college women who have found
opportunity to use their knowledge
for the benefit of their husbands and
children effectually dispose of any criti-
cism on that score.
But then, Mr.. Schwab's opinion Is only
Mr.. Schwab's opinion.

THE COUNTRY
HOUSE INTERIOR.

We neglect the corners of our rooms
too much, says the Outing Magazine. Fine
effects can be secured by hanging long
and narrow pictures there. Try this, and
see if l am not right. Corners are ex-
cellent places for upright flower PIECES.
Great care must be taken to hang pic
lures covered with glass in positions where
the light will not strike them In, such a
manner as to cause reflections, as from a
mirror. All pictures under glass are most
effective pa walls which do not face win
dows.
Never buy a picture that doesn't please
you because a friend urges you to do so.
You are buying for yourself, therefore let
your own taste decide the matter. You
may not have what is called a cultivated
TASTE but you can tell when a picture
pleases you as we'll rs If you had all the
cultivation in the world, and that's the crf-
terinn for a purchaser TO Judge a picture
by-does 1t please? A picture need not be
expensive. to be good. Really fine ones can
be bought cheaply. A good picture has AS
much of a mission In 1he family as a good
book has, Books, pictures, music and flow
ers are the four apostles of the gosnel az
the beautiful In the home.

DAINTIES
FOR HOT WEATHER

One who wishes something a little out

these to bind the mass for frying. Sea-
son with salt and pepper to taste, or add
celery If convenient to the onion while
cooking. Use this batter for ~fritters, which
must be fried. as usual. in butter or oil.
Make a brown gravy from -four and butter
aud hot water well seasoned to pour over
them.
A vegetable base for such a brown gravy
should be a stock made from the follow

butter until a dark brown. Add q table
spoonful Of hour to the butter and then
a pint Of boiling water. Stir. well until

STYLISH DRESS.

How we all admire a cheap, pretty
dress. and it always receives more COM
p~limentary remarks than a fine dress
where beauty is expected. / saw a neat
dress this week which was made of
pin striped blue and white lawn. There
was a dimlnutive square yoke in the
waist, outlined with a narrow ruffie of
Valenciennes lace not over an inch
wide, The lace collar was trimmed In

on the short sleeves were outlined on
both sides with The skirt was
made with a wide hem and two tucks

out any doubt the dress was wonders
fully becoming to her.

A solution of equal parts of carbolic acid

He Demands Too Much.

Again this writer. adds: when a
woman pretends to be good and isn't,
when she talks of noble deeds and
never tries to do them, when she tells
him he is all the world to her, and
shows him by her conduct that he is
not, when he detects the humbug, men
are much quicker TO find out than
women, and his respect and his love
CO."
Well, don't men make just such dec
larations. too? Don't they ever give
their wives an opportunity to look be-
meath the surface and discover the
sham? I'm afraid they do, but we
hear less of 1t because the wife is ready
and willing in many cases to bear her
shame and suffering herself-while 1t is
any way bearable-rather than tell 1t
to the world. to be talked about and
made scandal of by the gossip mongers.
Yes, men are quicker to find out; but
when they do find out, are they as for
giving as women would be under the
anne circumstances?
A well-known writer once wrote:
1.-THE more a loves a man the
easier she finds it to forgive his faults;
the more a man loves a woman the
harder he finds 1t to overlook her short
comings."
This may be logical, but to me the
mans view is the outcome of SELFISH
ness and not the result of genuine love.
Wheh a man demands that a woman
up to his ideal of goodness, al
ideal which he cannot or will not reach,
is it anything else but s~eltlshness? ]
think not.

THE SUNNY SIDE AGAIN.

In placing a patient in a hospital try
and select a sunny room, as it is a we'll
known fac that the patients who have
sunny rooms are the first to recover. The
morning sun is best, of course, but If
this cannot be had, select some room which
has a share Of sunlight some time during
the day. Usually such rooms are more
expensive in the large hospitals and sani-
tariums. If destined to have a dark room
the patient, when able, should be taken

FOR LATE SUMMER.

1t is difficult to prophesy what will be
worn, even though many new styles are
established and new goods arrive daily
for the careful purchasers, but one thing
is quite certain. the forthcoming styles
will be vastly different from the ones seen
this season. The waist will be completely
changed from jumper effects to something
on the same order with yokes, sleeves and
vest supplied with the same material.
One. two or three plaits over the Shout
ders can be supplied to the summer waists,

A writer in an Eastern contemporary
tells in rather a lengthy article some
of the qualities men look for and adj
mire in women they would make their
wives.
We hear a lot from day to day on
the same subject, for in nearly every
magazine or paper WI read somewhere
we will find hints TO prospective brides,
telling them the qualities they should
possess IL they would make good wives
and retain the love of their husbands,
but we seldom hear anything about
the qualities a man should cultivate
to win the love of a good woman.
Everyone seems to take II for granted
that it is only the woman who should
possess the qualities hat make for
happiness in the home.
This writer says: "A man loves a
who is true. 1t is part of his
view of the woman he wants to make
his wife that she is an angel. He
credits her with all goodness and all
nobility of SOUL
AS much as to say a woman does
not look for the same qualities of
fidelity in a man. Has he any more
right to prove faithless to his wife
than she has? We neal of vastly more
wickedness in this respect among men
than among women, but no one ever
thinks of warning a woman who con-
templates marriage of the difficulties
she may encounter along this line.
