The Henpeckinx wife.

The henpecking wife's greatest crime
Is her ignorance of the meaning of the
marriage vow. She actually believes
that she has a right TO dictate to her
husband, to fret at him, to nag him. TO
order his way of living just because
she is married to him. Why must a
mans personal liberty be at an end
because he has taken unto himself a
wife? Every man and woman is per-
son and is entitled to certain liberties,
certain freedom of action, certain re-
spect from other persons, but the hem
pecking wife doesn't recognize any of
these laws.
Woman admires manliness, yet the
woman who restricts her husbands
personal liberty makes a dummy of
him. He has arms and legs, tongue
and teeth, even a brain, but these he
must not use as he chooses. He must
hate as she hates, love whom she loves,
eat as she eats, think as she thinks,
believe as she believes, even to the
worshiping of her God She scolds /;
thinks she has right to. Worse she
jaws. If he spill his coffee-she jaws.
If he tracks in mud-she jaws. If he
forgets to mai letter she jaws.
The henpecLing wife feels too much
responsibility. If her husband talks
too much, speaks too loudly, laughs
too heartily, she takes his sin upon her
own shoulders and is $50 mortified"
Why? She doesn't care how loudly the
grocer laughs. Her husband isn't a
piece of her that she must be response
BILE for his vocal defects.
A man is person, married or sin
gle. The marriage VOW contains no
clause which gives a woman the right
to rob her husband a its free will; nor
does it say that she can lose her tenn
per and scold him with impunity. No
matter how much he loves her, he is in
no way part of her. He is bang,
an individual, with just as much right
to his personal belief, aims, ambitions,
hopes, fears, habits, as he had before
ha married her.
When women learn these truths they
will have too much respect for the in
dividuality, the strength, the PERSONAL
ty of their husbands to allow them
selves to develop into henpecking
wiyes.-Cynthia Grey.

The ordinary furnace-heated house
is bad place in which to grow plants.
The air seems to have had all the
dampness removed, and that moist con-
dition SO conducive to good growth In
plants is not found This may, in a
measure, be overcome by means Of
evaporation, which, while not supply
ing a great amount of moisture, should
do something toward relieving the bad
condition of the atmosphere. Place
Jars or pans of water in, around or
about the furnace, hang buckets Of wa
ter down inside the furnace pipes, be-
low the registers, or place them any
where that rapid evaporation may be
induced. Keep all the plants in light,
airy locations, but away from draughts.
Never consign a well-grown specimen
palm to a corner of the room, though
it may look better there. Its beauti-
full appearance will last short time
only in the dark, close place. 1t may
seem strange to some, but the very best
place in the house, if the temperature
there can be maintained at an even
point, Is the kitchen, because of the
constant evaporation Of the water as
it puffs from the spout of the tea
kettle.

Even a bern pessimist may cultivate
cheerful, honest openness of counte-
nance, though I-admit 1t will come
hard at first. But she may do it by
thinking of the best side of things, and
remembering that there is some good
in everything If only one will search
fer it. Once discovered this must be
held tightly, otherwise it's apt to get
away, but If one remembers that
though there is dishonesty in the world
there is honesty, too; that though
times may be hard they are bound to
get better; and that cheerfulness will
help it on; IL she will make herself
strong ard sweet with kindness, not
bitterness in her heart, she will de-
velop a smile because Of the happiness
within.-Exchange

GRANTS 1000 DIVORCES.


Wisconsin Judge Makes Record OF
Which He lis Not Ashamed.
Declaring that he had granted approx
mately 1000 divorces since he had been
on the bench, Judge John Goodland at
meeting of the Twilight Club in Appleton
declared that divorces were right and
wholesome, and that of all he had given
he did not know of half dozen that
should not have been granted. Many
well-intentioned people, said Judge Good
land, lament the growing practice of
granting divorces. Occasionally hear of
a divorce where the facts were perverted
and the decree should not have been
given, but these are so few that they are
hardly worthy of mention. l know that
l am considered rather easy in the matter
of granting divorces, but / believe it is
wrong to make woman live with a
drunken and quarrelsome husband, and in
the case of children it is wrong to cause
them to be reared in such an atmosphere.
The divorce is not the evil; it is the con-
ditions that lie back of it, don't believe
in restricting divorces, which are right
and wholesome as a rule, but in bringing
about reform in the conditions which lead
up to divorce"

Don,ts for Husbands.

Don't hang about the kitchen giving
advice about this and that, unless you
allow your wife the same privilege at
your place of business.
Don't show all your kindness and
courtesy away from home and let only
the ugly side of your disposition mani
fest itself at home
Don't listen to the man who begins
to criticise his wife in public; advise
him to settle those things in the pri-
yacy of his own home.
Don't forget that your own family
has as much right to pleasant greet
ing when met as the business or social
acquaintance next door.
Don't be lavish in your expenditure
for downtown lunch and cigars while
you think out plans for greater econo-
my in the family grocery bill.
Don't allow any quarrels to crop out
before children or servants, leaving all
such things reserved for private dis
cussion, with mutual confidence and
kindness.
Don't demand an itemized report of

makes an unwise expenditure think
how many times you have given her
the same example.

The man who encourages his wife to
belong to women's clubs saves himself
from being reformed.
If men only jollied their wives as
much after marriage as they do before,
there would be no divorces.

CHAPTER ".

Ella Wycherly did not go 20 the house.
She wandered about in the wood. and
then took the road to the park. and found
herself at length before those immense
iron gates, with the picturesque lodge to
her right. which in summer time was
smothered in roses and honeysuckla Be-
tween the bars she saw the ploughei-up
muddy road. the highway OF late Novcm-
Der. Opposite was high. thick haw-
thorn hedge, bare as the winds could
strip ii.
She heard the roll and rumble Of
wheels, and the tramp of horses feet.
She grasped the iron with her small GLOW
ed hands, and looked steadily into the
lane. A dog cart, with two gentlemen
seated in front. and a groom with folded
arms perched behind, drove up.
The driver lifted his hat 10 Ella The
heiress flushed little. nodded pleasantly.
and a tall old man came out Of the pi--

gates. The trap rolled In, the driver leap

and showing fine row of xhi.e false

Never sheer, girls, at an unhappy
'old maid" Once she was very likely
just as sweet and young and sunny
hearted as yourselves. But she missed
the road which may, perhaps, lead you
to a sweetheart and prospect of mar
ried happiness. OF course, she was
wrong to turn sour.
To brood over things that cannot be
helped is weak-spirited. There are
many roses to be gathered In the gar
den of life over and beyond the ro-
nance belonging to men and maids.
Success and happiness can be won by
any girl Of to-day, even If nobody
comes to WOO. But neither is likely to
come to the girl who, when love fails
her, sits down to weep and wall over a
might-have-been marriage.
