The Awkward Mrs.

A curiously awkward word. II It be
word, is Mrs" 1t is not spelled as 1t
IS pronounced--no one but a Welshman
or a Pole would be equal to pronounc-
ing It as It is spelled-and Its pronunci-
alton is a clumsy contraction Of the
good old English designation mis-
tress."
In days Of old, when leisure had not
become, as it is now, almost a forgot
ten luxury and people were less anx-
ious to clip their speech, the full pro
nunciation was often used, and 'mis
tress" was not altogether elbowed OF
Of existence by the vulgar 'missis."
But nowadays mistress" has becom
as much a term of opprobrium as hon
or, and consequently the contracte
pronunciation Of Mrs" has prevailed
and holds the field.
Another point worth noting In the
history Of the designation is that abcc-
$50 years ago and earlier Mrs" was
applied quite impartially to unmarried
as well as married ladies'. Even chill
hren were sometimes styled Mrs"

THE SIMPLE LIFE.
Are We Returning to the Walnut Fur
niture Age7

Are We Returning to the Walnut Fur
niture Age7
wo have been told Of late that we
should presently be afflicted with a re
vivai OF the walnut furniture Of fifty
years ago. There seem really to be nc
indications that this calamity is to be-
fall US; hence one is inclined to cop
clude that the rumor Is merely the
fanciful fruit Of a recent reminiscent
fondness evinced by certain of our lit.
srary men for that period in American
life which coincided with the vogue Of
black walnut Mr.. Howells has for
some time made no bones OF an appar.
ent conviction that those were the
halcyon days Of America-the truly
representative, honestly American
days. In the pages Of Scribners Mag
azine Henry Fuller has imagined
a rich and cultivated western woman
who reverts to type after years Of
travel and sophistication and discards
her artistic refinements, one and all, In
favor Of the monstrous carpets and the
"boiled dinners" Of the earlier life Of
the country.
One fancies that Mr.. Fuller has made
slight mistake In giving this lady's
age as forty. The reversion, If rever-
sion there be, is apt to occur somewhat
later. But in limiting that her case is
not singular, that by seeking one might
find a good many like her, it is quite
probable that he is not so far from the
mark. The psychology Of such in
stances, however, is likely not to be
Just what the subjects may think. 1t
may seem to them that what they wish
is to go back to a simpler life. Was
American life in the walnut period
really simpler7 That depends on our
understanding Of the term. Many fool
fish things have been said about the
simple life. There is only one simple
life, and that is the unified life. the
life set toward and in one purpose and
/ letting the nonessentials 60. That sort
Of life may be possible when one
washes ones own dishes, but no one
Will deny that it was equally possible
TO Marcus Aurelius In point Of fact, II
is possibly more apt to be realized in
its perfection in a high and tense state
of civilization than not. There are theo-
ries and theorists to the contrary, but
the practical demonstration Of history
points TO a number Of philosophers and
also Of saints who lived without bond
age to the world while making no fuss
about wanting to do away with iti
superfuities.
