NEW IDEALS IN HUSBANDS.

NEW IDEALS IN HUSBANDS.
At a fashionable autumn wedding two of the
guests discussing other matrimonial events
that impending do you know, my dear
said one, Evelyn c. is really to marry Fred Van
~, although she's years older than he is? \
few years ago such thing would hardly have
been thought Of, but now it occasions very little
surprise. The love ideals of women are appar-
entity in state of transition, like the sex, and
the times when the unattached maiden lOnged for
lofty being to whom she could look up with
awe and reverence are gone-presumably forever
Now every woman wants to be Il queen, and thinks
OF d husband as necessary but entirely subordi-
nate individual.
Il wonder if the change isn't partly due to the
superior inches of the young woman Of to-day
II seems natural that there should be differ
ence between the day dreams of six-foot some
thing and those OF nve-tOot nothing. And The
men seem to be adapting themselves admirably
10 the altered state of affairs. / greatly en-
tert93ined by the spectacle Clara S. and her hus-
recital. / think she's tallest | know,
and she swept in-splenddly gOwned. of course-as
If she owned the whole world, while he came he
hind, an insignificant figure in black. carrying
her cloak and other elegant belongings I COuldn I
help feeling sorry for poor little Ned. but know
pity was wasted. for he evidently eXulted IN
his wife's magnihcence and his own subjection."

PHOTOGRAPHIC TRANSPORTATION.

One IS often moved TO ask why photographers. to
judge from appearance. take such delight In
conceallng or completely changing the individual
ity Of their subjects. BY the magic o1 the camera
a pert little mink can be made TO appear an angel
and the simple. unaffected maiden look like
third-rate actress The COmely matrOn who no
longer makes any claims TO yOuthfuness is sure
be revealed her friends in the photographs
she gives them as young and beautiful girl. II
is difficult to what satisfaction be derived
by any from such arrangement. Every
sensible woman wants to look her best at all
times. and will use every means in her power 70
prevent the existence Of any reproduction OF her
features that does not show her at her best. but
reasonable beings do not care to he shown as
they never did or could look or as they would, in
all probability, never wish TO look II they could.

For tho Confederate Reunion at Rich

An independent Telephone exchange
costing $225,000 and constructed in
accordance with the most modern
plant, abundantly backed by North
ern and home capital is among the
new enterprises promised for jackson
franchise having been granted at the
city council.
Application for the franchise was
made by Mr.. N. ID. Smith, of Jackson,
Tenn, an experienced builder OF tel
ephone exchanges, who has been ac-
lively engaged in the business for the
past twenty-five years his last nota-
bile work being the construction of
the independent exchange at Jack
son, Tenn. He also organized the
stock company at that place, and
comes to Jackson with fattering en-
dorsements from the mayor, aldermen,
municipal officers, bankers and bust

local capitalists an opportunity to
own a controlling interest in the new
company and already many pledges
to the capital stock have been secur-
cd. 1t is his purpose to erect sys-
tenn modern in every respect, the COM
pany owning its own buildings, wires
in the business district being placed
underground conduits, except such
wires as may be necessary for distri-
button purposes.
The council has fixed maximum
rates to be charged for service, and
offer the owner of the franchise every
possible encouragement. He has been
given solvent bond in the sum OF
$4,000 for the carrying out of the
terms of the franchise, and has set
about his task with an earnestness
that shows he means business, and
more important still, means that the
Cumberland will not continue to hold
a monopoly Of the business in Jack
son.
