Abuse of Perfume.

There is scarcely anything mora
disagreeable than an overscented at
mosphere: yet. unfortunately, the
woman who knows the quantity of
scent which will enhance the charm.
OF her presence and the amount
which will prove quite the reverse is
very rare.
The woman who offends by be-,
sprinkling h rself too lavishly with
some exotic scent probably does not
suspect the enormity OF which she is
guilty. The overscentei woman Is
usually the middle-class individual,
who has no maid at hand,t to superln-
tend the important and difficult part
Of her toilet.
The society woman seldom sxrs
ON the side o. exaggeration. The
delicate, subtle aroma which eman-
atss from the clothes OF the society
beauty It not. however, mnaaged
withost much care and o good iesl
of oxpsnse.
The woman who cannot AFFORD
more costly perfumes will do we'll to
pin her faith to tho ever-popular

Choosing a Husbnnd.

MrS. meade speaks wisely Wnen
she remarks that girl should love
the man she marries. and should de-
sire sufficient income. Mrs. Tooley
points out the necessity CT prudence.
and Mrs. Humphrey Ward, with great
practical wisdom Gin my opinion)
recommends girls to be careful who
they make friends with. But there
is something still further In the
depths of a girls consciousness, to
be considered. The question of an
income. Of good character, of love.
even, are all, In sense. side is
sues.
A girl will never choose hus-
band Uf she can be said to choose
anybody at all because of any
amount Of wise advice showered up
on her. although she may choose in
accordance with the advice; for the
simple reason that how great soever
may be the virtues of possible hus-
band and how suitable soever the
marriage, she will choose-that Is,
she will fall In love with the man
that suits her temperament and who
embodies the IDEAS or ideals-in the
faith OF which she has been brought
up.
The question of choice goes furth-
the girls will. 1t is largely ques-
tion Of her own taste and character
In some ways one may say that the
mother chooses her daughters hus-
band for her while the daughter is
In the cradle. Bring up the girl in
certain way, give her certain hab-
Its of thought, certain instincts of
refinement, certain aspects of faith,
and 1t will not be difficult to predict
the sort of man she will Choose"
Even If she makes mistake at
first, and thinks that she loves a
man whose history and antecedents
are altogether different from any
that she has hitherto found admira-
BILE. she is likely to recover herself
and find out that her chance OF hap
piness is based on her fidelity to the
old paths. And the man is, Of
course, equally bound by the condi-
tions Of his age, family and environ
ment. 1t Is so very much an in
stinctive and involuntary matter on
both sides that | should think 1t
about as useful to give advice to
pairing birds as to young persons
who wish to marry.
But, granted that their inclina-
tions are thus predetermined, there
is still hope that they, being reason
able human beings, will consider
wh ether they ought to indulge these
| inC' C'inations. l should advise a girl
to remember that she must be able to
trust man as well as to love him;
that she cannot hope TO reform his
bad habits; and that unless she is
prepared to give up her own friends,
her own opinions, and her own COM
fort for his sake she does not love
him well enough to become his WIFE
And 1t must not be forgotten that a
girls right of refusal Is not quite the
same thing as the right OF choice.
However, when all Is said and
done, q girl has to be asked before
she can choose, and lucky is the
girl whom the right man asks-Ade-
line Sergeant.

THE EFFECT OF OPIUM.
Its Victims Arc Unable TO Work
Hard or Apply Their Minds.

l heard little about the beautiful
dreams and visions which opium Is
supposed to bring; all the smokers
with whom l talked could be roughly
divided into two classes-those who
smoked in order to relieve pain or
misery, and those miserable victims
who smoked to relieve the acute ply
sical distress brought on by tna
opium itself. Probably the .lajority
OF the victims take 1t up as q tom
porary relief; many begin IN early
childhood-ths mother will have the
baby whiff to stop Its crying. IL Is
a social vice only among the upper
classes. The most notable outward
effect of this indulgence ls tho re-
sulting physical weakness and ,assi-
tude. The opium smoker cannot
work hard; he finds 1t difficult to
apply his mind to problem or his
body to task. AS the habit be-
comes firmly fastened on him. there
Is a perceptible weakening of his
moral fibre; he shows himself un-
equal to emergencies which make any
sudden demand upon him. If opium
is denied him. he will lie and steal
In order to obtain 1t.
Opium smoking Is costly vice.

formal intercourse OF human beiugs
an institution. Instead OF being
taught In childhood that her business
is to serve, and that her only chance
of happiness is in service, she is vir-
tually taught that everything must
be dono for her. The rewards of q
woman's eXistence----love, respect
deferenco-are thus placed at the
wrong end of life. To begin with,
tho sense of values Is lost by the pro-
fusion of Christmas. Easter, and

OLD COLONIAL TOWN
HISTORIC GERMANTOWN TO Gel,
EBRATE ITS FOUNDING.
One Building Surviving from RevoIu
tionary Times Makes Reputation
Of Many Cities, But German
town Has Hundreds Such.

Pittsburg.-Germant richer In
historic associations and colonial
buildings than any other place in the
United States, is to celebrate its found
ing with exercises of national interest
next October.
The president of the United States
will lay the cornerstone of a $4,000
monument in honor of those who set
tied this present suburb of Philadel-
phia; the battle of Germantown, which
ragged all over the neighborhood, will
be enacted, much of the sham conflict
taking place in the buildings which
actually saw the defeat OF Washington
in the heart-breaking struggle in the
log, and orators of national reputation
will tell the glories of a section that
has been at the forefront of every
patriotic movement in the last two
centuries.
In other parts of the United States
the possession of one or two samples
of genuine colonial architecture is
considered a matter of congratulation-
Pittsburg, New York and Boston each
have a few; there are some scattered
all over the south; Philadelphia, in
the center of the city proper, has many
buildings surviving from the time that
tried mems souls; but Germantown
has rows and rows of buildings dating
back to the revolution, ard even ante
dating it.
The entire length of the main street
is lined with such structures, nor is
their interest confined to the fact that
they are old. Many have been the
scenes of incidents that are part of
the treasured knowledge of. every
schoolboy who rejoices in the heroic
achievements of the days that led to
national independence.
The sham battle that is a part OF
the program will reproduce the clash
of the colonists and the redcoats at
historic Cliveden, sometimes known
as the Chew mansion.
This house, in the midst of it's spa
cious park. was old when the battle of
The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1908-07-11

Germantown was fought. Its thick
walls formed an admirable fortress for
the protection of detachment of Brit
ish soldiers, who. giving way to the
advance of the colonists, were making
their retreat down the main street
into the town.
Entrenched behind the heavy walls
they poured terrific fire into the
ranks of the Americans.
A dozen attempts were made to
capture the house, but the British re-
pulsed them all and the diversion was
of invaluable advantage to the sorely
pressed Britishers, since it gave them
a chance to reform their lines and
wage new battle farther down the
street at Market square.
The Chew house, still standing, and
still in the possession of the same fam
lily, is battle SCARED from the con-
f1ict, but it is still a stanch old house,
a flawless example of true colonial
architecture.
Farther down the street is another
house that will figure largely in the
celebration. 1t was once the execu-
for 1t was from there that George
Washington administered the affairs
Of the young republic when the yellow
fever epidemic drove himself and his
cabinet from the city.
The old house was built by David
Deshler in 1772. From the hands of
Deshler the homestead passed into
the possession of Col. Isaac Franks,
who served in the continental army.
When the yellow fever forced Wash
ington to seek residence outside of
the city he picked out the house of
Franks as the place he wanted, and
rented it.
For three months it was the White
House. then the Father of His Coun-
try went back to the city proper In
1904 the property passed into posses
zion of the Perots, and on the death
Of Elliston Perot. in 1884, 1t was sold
to Samuel B. Morris. in whose family
1t has remained without interruption
ever since. The greatest effort has
been made to maintain both interior
and exterior in their original condi.
ton.
This building is also associated with
the battle of Germantown, for Gen
Howe, the British leader, had his
headquarters here during part of the
conflict.
Germantown is now 225 years old
1t has awakened to its historic impor
lance, and the celebration of next
