II Is Wise to ReERmber
That 1t Takes Two 10 Make
Quarrel The Simply
Dressed Debutante-A True
and Honest Friend.

ut takes two to make a quarrel"
remarked Mrs. Wiselelgh as she wiped
away Mrs. Flutterby's tears.
That young matron had just been
through another quarrel with her bet
ter half. He had gone out without
saying goodby, and the front door had
slammed viciously behind him.
"H-m-mF muttered the excellent
Mrs. Wlseleigh after she heard the de-
tails. when you saw he was in a
bad humor why didn't you leave him
alone?'
"I-I-felt so badly just had to
speak to him." sobbed foolish Mrs.
Flutterby.
There you areg' exclaimed the older
woman. "Lack OF self control! l tell
you what" she went on, ''if l kept a
girls school I would spend less time
In teaching conchology and botany and
more in grounding my pupils in good,
old fashioned self control. 1t would
certainly do them more good in after
life. Just look at the. girls nowadays,
my dear, and notice how many Of
them lack 1t altogether. They are
hdgety. hysterical. and. instead of al
lowing the masculine sex to run after
them. as the Creator wisely intended,
they are simply crazy for attention and
make themselves cheap because they
haven't enough self control to wait
for It.
Divorces were never so frequent in
the old days, can tell you. Women
had self control then. They learned
when 1t was wise to keep silence. There
were no quarrels as there are now,
Women had more dignity, and their
self control gave them a queenly air
which commanded more respect and
attention than all the TRADES of their
descendants ever can. If you just lis
ten to an old woman. my dear, you will
learn to practice self control. You will
soon be 100 well grounded in 1t to an.
swer back, and quarrels will die out
In your household because, as observ'
ed before 1t takes two people to make
them"

a lovely time.
Now, the truth is that the debutante
In question was really no prettier than
the others and not nearly as graceful,
but she possessed mother who was
clever.
Her mother had dressed her In the
simplest ms nner possible. as young
girl should dress, while all the others
wore Partisan creations suitable for
young NATIONS.
This overdressing of girls Just max
ing their bow to society Is very marked
this winter and for that reason one
simple little maiden stood out very
conspicuously.
Her dress was OF fine material, most
beautifully itted, but It fell in abso-
lutely unornamented lines, showing
the supple cnrves of her girllsh figure.
The effect was striking.
Wise mothers, take notice.

What II Costs to Feel and Think.
Every throb of pleasure costs some
thing to the physical system. and two
throbs cost twice as much as one. If
we cannot fix a precise equivalent it
Is not because the relation is not def.
mite. but from the difficulties Of reduc-
ing degrees of pleasure to recognized
standard. OF this, however, there can
be no reasonable doubt-namely, that
large amount of pleasure supposes a
CORRESPONDENCE large expenditure Of
blood and nerve tissue, to the stinting
perhaps, of the active energies and ths
intellectual processes. 1t is a matter
Of practical moment to ascertain what
pleasures cost least, for there are
thrifty and unthrifty modes Of spend
ing our brain and hearts blood. One
Of the safest Of delights, If not very
acute, is the delight of Astounding
physical vigor, for. from the very sup
position, the supply to the brain is not
such as to interfere with the general
