What a Woman Likes.

She likes to be truly loved and to
be told so.
She likes some noble, honorable
man to be thoughtful of her, kind and
considerate of her welfare.
When well and becomingly dressed
quiet notice of her is always ap-
preciated.
A word of praise for Il nice dinner
often more than compensates her for
the worry and hard work of prepara-
tion.
She wants her husband not only to
be her supporter, but her compan on,
remembering that 1t is the kind.
thoughtful, appreciative word that
often brings her greater happiness
than new set of dishes, though pres
ents like the latter are always well
come.
She likes to be made to realize that
she is good for something besides a
mere household drudge and slave.
She likes to be petted occasionally,
but not in public. The little private
pet names are very dear to a woman's
heart.-Indianapolis News.

accessory of shoes, jewels, coiffure,

folds becoming more and more ac-
customed to every movement OF her
figure, while she gives the impression
of being woman of taste and ele-
gance, yet her sartorial reserve an
nounces also that she has something
more In her head than the eternal

1t Is so common to celebrate the

Of the country on December IA, 1899,
the centenary of the death of George
Washington, attracted wide attention.
Curiously enough, the original sug-
gestion Of the observance came from
the Grand Lodge of Freemasons for
the State Of Colorado, a part Of this
continent whose existence was known
to Washington only vaguely as piece
OF the great unexplored Spanish
Southwest. 1t is quite as odd that,
after leading Freemasons in the Unit
ed States had taken the plan in hand
and invited the craft in other lands
to cooperate. the first acceptance
should have come, with every mani
festation of enthusiasm, from New

Nothing could mark the worlds prog

Many accounts of Washington's
Heath, differing in detail, have been
published by the standard historians,
and many theories have been advanc-

caught severe cold, and that this
ran into the disease of the throat
which was then known as quinsy, are
among the settled facts; but whether
his life might not have been pro-
longed but for the copious bleeding
to which he was subjected is still
open to debate. The only official
record we have, perhaps. is that kept
