ADELE'S
ARGUMENT

II don't know of another single sub.
ject about which so many fallacies
exist as that of feminine oddities,''
said Adele. AS she said it she looked
at her husband in a way that meant
she vas in the mood for a discussion.
So he ~contradicted her at once, Just
to oblige.
you can't deny, my dear, that wo.
men are less straightforward than
men," he said.
She laughed derisively. "Do you
really cling to that old th~eory?" she
asked. IF you do, you have simply
accepted what has been handed down
to you without ever trying to apply
It,"
apply it for me, if you can" he
suggested.
Il can give you a dozen examples"
Adele replied, loftily.
Zone will do" he answered.
well come back to that said
Adele, after a brief pause. What I
was thinking of particularly was that
women are supposed to be vainer than
men. AS a matter of fact, men are
twice as fussy about their appearance
as women are, and it takes them
twice as long to get ready to go any
where. Another thing. Women are
supposed to be more easily flattered
than men, and yet every girl in her
teens knows how to flatter a man, and
how to pretend that she believes his
batteries"
yet you said they were more
straightforward than men!"
Don't evade the point at ISSUE"
said Adele, severely. This is some.
thing altogether different. If a girl
tells a man that he should never wear
anything but brown because it suits
him so well he will laugh at the idea
of her supposing he gives a thought
to his clothes and remark, %carelessly,
I really hadn't noticed just what color
this suit was; it is the weight of the
material that guides my selection
But, if you observe him from that
time on you will notice that every.
thing he buys is brown; and he will
continue to be brown until some other
girl tells him something else.
Now, on the other hand" contin.

a man tells a girl that she should
wear a certain color she is pleased tc
thank him for his advice and compli

that no one has ever realized before

How TO Trim a Fern.

SAINT sunshine. Two of the finest Bos.
ton ferns known to the writer spend
the entire winter in windows where
scarcely a sunbeam falls, though there
is plenty of light. A little sun, how.
ever, does them no harm, and a moist
atmosphere is ESSENTIAL.

PROPER CARE OF THE SINK.
Precautions That Are Absolutely Nee
essay to Health.

All wood should be removed from a
sink, according to Good H%ousekeep-
ing, and replaced with a porcelain
sink, back and sides; that being too
expensive, then use slate, zinc or cop
per. The material should be absolute
ly impervious to moisture and with
OUT paint, which only wears off and
leaves an untidy surface. Modern
plumbers use iron instead of lead
pipes almost entirely, and yet, by
care, the old lead n lei may continue
to serve. Frequent flushing of the
sink is an absolute necessity for per-
feet freedom from danger. 1t should
be done with very hot water, but fol-
lowed by a little cold water, lest the
heat a vacuum and draw the
water off the trap, leaving it open for
gases to escape through the outlet of
the sink. The treatment should be
applied to every fixture in a house
after the cleansing process.

How to Do Library Divan.

A couch or divan in a library is al
ways desirable, and if a cover in soft
brown velour is used, with pillows of
bright old orange, deep gold and the
varying shades of brown piled on in
Drofusion, it will be an artistic addi.
ton to the room.
The pillows, many of which should
be put on the couch, may be made of
inexpensive pieces of denim, canvas
and burlap, any one of which comes
in tones of yellow and brown that
will be effective. Just for contrast
one or two handsome cushions should
be used in the pile. A striking one

HINTS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE.
Little Things That are Well Worth
Keeping In Memory.

To straighten whalebone soak for a.
few minutes in lukewarm water, then
press straight with a slightly warm
1atiron.
When cleaning brass add a little
methylated spirit to whatever polish
you may be using. 1t not only helps
to remove stains, but also prevents
the brass from furnishing again SO
quickly.
Tortoise shell combs should occa-
sionally be we'll rubbed with the palm.
of the hand to restore their brightness.
If very dull, just a suspicion of sweet
oil may be used, but as a rule a rub
with the palm of the hand only is
quite sufficient.
To clean feathers, wash in gasoline,
which can be procured at most oil
shops. Shake till dry, and then curl
with a bone or silver knife. But re-
member that gasoline is highly inflam-
mable, and should not on any account
be used in a room in which there is a.
fire or artificial light of any kind. Out
of doors is really the best place to use
it.
SEARCHED things should be rather
damp for ironing. If ironed when too
dry the starch is really thrown away,
as it does not stiffen at all.
After washing d%ecanters or cruets,
turn them upside down and allow wa!
ter from the cold water tap to run
over them. In about five minutes
time they will be beautifully dry in
side, and if the outside is carefully
wiped and rubbed they will sparkle
beautifully.
A hint for frosty weather: Windows
often need cleaning when it is so cold
that if water were used it would at
once freeze on them. Try using paraf-
fin instead; a rag dipped in it will
clean glass perfectly, and give it a
brightness impossible to obtain with
water. Tissue paper makes a good pol
Usher, or, in fact, almost any soft pa
per.

schemes. But if you observe the girl
you will see that she has paid abso-
lutely no attention to what he said"
"And that proves"
THAT she is not so open to 1attery,
therefore she is less vain," said Adele
:riumphantly.
Her husband knew that she is never
quite sure where she is coming out
when she argues, so he could well
understand her satisfaction in having
landed at the point for which she had
started. He hadn't the heart to show
ner the obvious hole in her argument,
so he said: "But it isn't very straight
forward for that girl to pretend she
is impressed and then to ignore the
advice altogether"
What about the man who pretends
70 scorn the suggestion and then acts
On it?"
"That would seem to make them
equally at fault" he admitted.
"Oh, it's much worse for the man.
He is too conceited to acknowledge
that he could take a woman's advice.
And another fallacy is that women
dress only for each other. Men are
more impressed by what a woman is
wearing than other women are.
can give you plenty of examples of
that in my w experience.
Women are supposed not to be
able to argue, too" continued Adele,
"and yet I invariably get the better
of you in an argument"
Invariably" her husband promptly
agreed. "But you haven't yet given
me those cases which prove that wo-
men are more straightforward than
men,"
Haven't I? Well, I meant to, but
there goes the bell and the Dicksons
are coming to play cards. I know I
can convince you when 1 get a
chance"
But she has avoided the subject
ever since.-Chicago Daily News.
