Spelling Your Husband.

There is no better way to make a
selfish, spoiled husband out OF a per-
fectly good man than by always being
unselfish and doing a thousand and one
things for him that he has always been
accustomed to do for himself. If you
want a model husband, don't be al
ways doing things for him, but try to
train him to do for you.
1t is q recognized truth that we all
care more for the person who is de-
pendent upon US than for the one we
depend upon. So If you would keep
your husbands love make him feel that
you are absolutely dependent upon
him.
II your husband wants to help you
on with your coat or insist that you
are quite incapable of putting on your
goloshes, agree with him. Let him
think you are helpless little creature
and that you need his strong right arm
to support and guide you.
There Is no feeling in the world more
likely to give one thrill of self salts
faction than the simple feeling that
some one is dependent upon and look
ing up to you for help. If a husband
can be made to feel this, a great VIC
tory is won, and Cupid is chained to
the hearth rug.

FOR AN oLD-TIME ROOM.
Articles Were Just the Thing Miss M.
Was Looking For.

They were at utility table at q
charity bazaar. and everybody seem
ed to ignore them-to consider them
probably, only ugly little bands Of
white crocheted cotton, with a cord
running through the scalloped edge on
one side-but when Miss M. discover
ed them among a pile OF iron holders
and dust cloths she bought them with
out even asking the price. and IN her
Joy at getting them would probably
have paid S. for them as readily as
she did so cents.
Just what have wanted for ages"
she sighed with satisfaction, as she
Rugged her little bundle close to her
side and departed with her chum.
What are they-wash rags?"
"Hushers"
What are they7" demanded her
friend.
Easily telling you're not from New
England" replied Miss NJ, who then
explained the mission Of hushers.
They slip over the edges of soap
dishes and other articles of the wash
stand furnishing, and, as their name
suggests, deaden all noise. They are
SO quaint and oldtimey. and will give
just the finishing touch to my colonial
bedroom"

Origin Of "February.~

February derived its name from the
word februare, to "expiate" OF
purify" in consequence of the Ro
man festival Of expiration and purif
cation, celebrated on the 18th of the
month. The ancient Saxons called Il
sprout-kale, from the sprouting Of the
cabbage at this season. Afterwards
1t was known as Sol-monat (sun
month";, the sun having now returned
from the low attitudes to its higher
course.

FAIR AND FORTY.
Cheering News For Her. Rsaching
the Age Limit.

the Age Limit.
The old description. "fair, fat and
forty is quite out Of date, and the
woman OF forty is now generally as
pleasant to look upon and as young and
active in body as the woman OF eight
and twenty or thirty. Thanks to tennis
and other sports, women keep their
trImness far longer than they used to,
and at forty, instead OF being unat-
tractive elderly frumps, they are often
at their very best. The reason is not
far TO seek. They have learned to use
all their charms and gifts in the most
effective manner, and they have no
longer the conceit and arrogance which
so often seem part and parcel OF
youth.
By the time she has reached her
fourth decade woman has rubbed of,
In contact with the world, her rough
edges. She is now dignifed and self
possessed, whereas she was formerly
awkward and shy Now she knows
how to listen as we'll as to talk, and
when she speaks she has something to
say which is worth hearing, for her ex-
perience has given her the art Of pleas
ing others and also a knowledge Of
men and matters which a girl often
assumes only to expose her ignorance.
In matters of dress, toe, she Is more
successful than formerly. She knows
more about the colors she may and
may not wear, and she takes care, as
no girl would do, that the cut of her
clothes is Just right for her figure.
The woman Of forty, If spinster, is
often far more attractive to men than
her far younger sister. The fact is she
Is better educated, has truer, saner
views of life and its problems and
has outlived the time when, If ever,
marriage seemed to her the goal of ex-
istence. Now she probably regards
happy marriage as the ideal state; but
knowing how very many marriages are
the reverse Of happy, she is thankful
for such joys as she has and makes the
most Of them. She is therefore good
friends with men, talking to them as
simply and naturally as she does to
women, and, while accepting any little
attentions that a man may offer, she
does not look for any special motive
in those attentions. If she marries.
the marriage will probably be happy
one, but 1t Is an unlikely event, and
she no longer troubles to consider her
men friends as possible suitors.
The flair, fat and forty" women are
long dead, and their successors of to-
day are among the most fascinating
members of society and certainly a
power in the land.
