Maxim Home Hanna

One OF the hundred bits OF advice doled
out to women for ages is that which urges
the necessity Of meeting the homecoming
man with a smile. No matter what do
nestle trials have frayed her temper,
cheerfulness must be on tap. 1t is good
advice so far as it goes, but no matter
how hard business cares press upon a man,
he inevitably has something to distract
him from 1t, even II it be nothing
more than the journey between home and
business. The wife is not always diverted
from matters that trouble her; theoret-
ically she ought to have mental strength
TO rise above them, but a wife and mother
is apt to get physically and nervously over
tired.
II the husband is a grumpy" man and
Etts at his dinner In silence, eats as il his
mind was far off. has to be spoken to
twice before he answers, and appears un-
appreciative OF his food, then the wife is
Justified In being grieved and hurt. The
complaining woman and the grumpy man
make a home that children flee from and
people do not visit for the veneer of kind
ness and cheerfulness, assumed for the
occasion, does not deceive. The man who
can smile just a little when he comes
home and talk d little nonsense with the
children is as much Of a model as the
woman who can be light-hearted in the
midst Of aggravations that come even in
the best-managed houses.

Some OF Hetty Green's Opinions.

Mrs. Hetty Green, the venerable mil
lionairess Of New York, took her thoughts
off interest bearing notes long enough to
voice a few thoughts to an interviewer,
some of them piquant, egotistic and
grouchy. These three will do:
"They all have to come to me-even
President Roosevelt. A woman may not
vote-I am not saying l want to vote-but
II you are a woman with money, you are
just as powerful as a man with money.
Money is the real power in the political
situation today.
The women Of America have helped
to make hard times. All they i've for,
all they care for, Is clothes-the latest
shape IN hats, the newest tangled skirts.
And they are none too particular how
It. oh, / am not saying that American
women are not moral. but l do say that
they do not care what price their hus-
bands and fathers and brothers pay for
the luxury and finery they demand. More
men are driven to dishonesty by the white
hand of a woman, stuck all over with
jewels, than by their own love Of horses,
rich food and gay times.
''The American child is not taught how
to save money, but how to spend 1t. Every
thing hey want-give it to them SO long

Blough and Neighbors were chatting
on the porch. Mrs. Biough was In the
parlor near the window. Biough knew
she was listening and wanted to tease her.

to Neighbors. confidentially. "Prettiest
little girl you ever saw. She was saunter-
ing along the street some feet behind a
s~trolling couple. 1 was walking faster

There was a swish Of skirts In the parlor
and Blough turned in time to see his wife

The Mother Of the Farm.

In addressing the people of Jordanville.
N. Y, on Wednesday the president said
a thing about which there can be no diff
ference among observing men. 1t was:
The hardest worked Individual on the
farm is apt to be the wife of the farmer;
If you don't applaud that you ought to;
/ believe in the farmer economixing, but
on himeslf, not on his wife"
That is wha may rightly be called a
rock-ribbed truth, needing neither the
rhetoric Of a suffragette nor the bensvo-
leuce Of a national commission for it's
demonstration. 1t is entirely within COM
mon knowledge, comments the Chicago
Inter Ocean.
1t is not a truth that we need, as a peo-
pie, to be ashamed of or sit in sackcloth
and ashes about. 1t is an individual at
fair-a personal matter for the conscience
Of the man whom the shoe fits. Yet it
is a truth to which we should, as a people,
give appreciative consideration, that we
may put in her rightful place of honor
IN the republic the Mother Of the Farm.
She is not asking for public sympathy.
Far from it. She would resent as an in
trusion anything of the sort. And she
would repel with fey Indignation any sug-
gestion that she is not wholly able to care
for her own rights and needs advice
about them from anyone.
She has her trials, but she wears not
her heart upon her sleeve. She knows
that most OF them were unavoidable
that they were necessary labors of crea-
tion-and she is patient and strong to en-
dure until those labors are accomplished,
even though she may not live to come
into her reward.
The men whose strength and courage
have wrestled with the soil, made 1t yield
first existence and then wealth and COM
fort, deserve all the praise that has been
given them. Yet without the women their
efforts would have been vain. What the
men have gained the women have kept
and carried on.
Men live mostly for the doing Of the
days work in the day. Their wives dc
the work OF the day and live always for
the future, seeing to It that in the chill
dren the good OF the past goes on and
Its evil is left behind.

- LITE are SHOWS and shows OF
IN ali varieties operated bv indi-
viduals, communities ana ma
- lions and viewed by thousands
laLSlM with no show at all. but the
~ greatest Of all shows on sarth
sac Daoy show. II is the real thing All
others are pikers.
The annual baby show at Asburv psrL
y. J., has become something Of a national
Institution, bringing out each year an in
creased number Of tiny tots, the kings and
queens Of their respective households "a
parade precedes the real show in the main
tent to borrow the lingo of the circ,s
and this years parade. on Saturday 81
last week, consisted of 500 youngsters and
an equal number Of dolls in CONVEYANCE
befitting the age and Importance OF the
babies. For over four hours the vast
throngs sat entranced at the splendors of
the scene and were as one in making
obeisance to the tiny jewellers, who trod
the carpeted lengths of the avenue and
retroceded back again into the amphi-
theater where they whirled around the
vast interior and passed once more in re-
View before the young queen and her court
who were surrounded by a brilliant thronR
Of distinguished invited guests.
Smiling skies and temperinE breezes
lent their share in making the eighteenth
annual parade one of the most successful
In the history of this famous resort. Dec
o%rations in the hotel district. in the am
phitheater and along Ocean avenue were
on a much more elaborate scale than
usual. There were nine divisions in the
column, consisting of doll coaches. express
wagons, baby coaches and gocarts. cos
tunes in fancy dress, costumes in college
%colors, costumes in burlesque, floats and
PONY turnouts
The doll coach division was particularly
strong and displayed all the familiar va
riety of decorated coach and many de-
lightful novelties that received their full
measure of appreciation from the specta-
tors. 1t was in the fancy dress costume
section, however. that the parade assumed
more picturesque and colored effect. Many
of the fancy costumes represented up-to-
date characters In public life, others por-
trayed the customs of ancient and me-
dieval times and not a few in the bur
lesque division excited continuous merri-
ment all along the line.
Six full grown men acted as supreme
judges at the baby show and awarded the
first prize, a silver loving cup, to a
youngster arrayed in the new-fashioned
sheath skirt. The winner was Dorothy
May Tribe, daughter Of William B. Tribe
Of New York. a beautifully formed little
girl of 2 years old. Her costume was of
white satin, with the skirt so cut as to
give the most tantalizing glimpse of her
dimpled legs.
Prizes were also awarded to children
in doll coaches, express wagons. baby
coaches and go-carts, fancy dress cos
tunes. college color costumes, burlesque
costumes. win and triplets n special
prizes, a sterling silver cup and a loving
cup, to children from the greatest dis
lance, the first to Constance Fish, Z years,
Of San Francisco, and Marie H. Yutriago,
10 months old, Of Ecuador, South
America.

The Lean and the Fat.

thinness is less ~disf1Euring than a COR

thinness is the fashion, so long as II does
