we're tests have come to the inexperi-

You see, in the first place, there are
husbands and husbands.
One sort sympathizes with the per-
picked wiley and laughs good natured-

Increase. Another sort-the spoiled
darling of doting mother-does not
refrain from observing that
'HThe kind mother used to make is
different"
Or. Mother does it this way"
The obtuse young fellow does not
realize how acutely sensitive on this
point his wife may be.
Comparisons are always odious. and
especially in this matter
Mothers ways may be the best
ways or not. That is not the point
Each young married woman, when she
sets up housekeeping, has her own
views.
Mother-in-law may put the dishes in
the cupboard at an angle of forty-fVe
degrees or lay them fat. She may
place the broom in the corner right
side up or upside down. It matters
not. The young wife has her own
| idea as to the disposition Of brooms
and dishes.
| And she is entitled to her way.
So it is exasperating when Willis

to observe, Eyes, that is good, but,
you see. Will is accustomed to have il
done this way" The young house.

And when Will himself suggests that

rubbing salt into the wound
Mother never had any trouhleg
No. mother has been doing the thine

Heart to Heart
Talks.
A LIVING SAINT.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.

A LIVING SAINT.
A living saint is as much better
saint than a dead saint as life is bet
fer than death.
Miss Sophie Wright of New Orleans
is living saint-'St. Sophie" they call
her.
You women who think your lot Is
hard, who feel that you have no chance
to do things that are worth while
Listen to the story of st. Sophie.
Miss Wright was born with spe-
cies of hip disease that has made her
cripple for life. Every step she takes
is torture. and although she is a
young woman in years her sufferings
have turned her hair snow white. Her
parents were poor and barely were
able to support her through high
school,
A life cripple. poor. without friends,
how could she earn living sainthood?
She began teaching school. That
was twenty-five years ago when such
| a thing as a night school was unknown
IN New Orleans.
One night young man, stranded
| circus acrobat, came to her and said
he could get a good job if only he
could read and write. Would she not
teach him?
She did, and that was the beginning
! Of her night school. One by one the
pupils came for free instruction until
she was crowded out of her little home
into larger quarters.
Today as the outcome Of Sophie
| Wrights self sacrificing labors the
i night schools of New Orleans instruc
1000 pupils. and some of the leading
citizens have been educated in these
| schools.
/ Miss Wright started a private schoo
for girls which is very successful. Sht
makes her living by teaching in thi
school all day and gives her evenings
to ''her boys" in the night schools.
That is not all.
This crippled woman has built
home for crippled children. She is tn
main support of the Home For Con
yaleseents and scores of other chart
ties.
Every year the Picayune, newspa
per, gives loving cup to that citizel
who has done the greatest public goo
for the city during the year. Severa
years ago Miss Wright was awarde
the cup. In it was check for $1O,00l
subscribed by the people Of New o.
leans to cancel debt she had al
sumed in making room for her nigh
schools.
Is it strange they should call ne
.St. Sophie or that she is also know
to the people as 1.-THE best citizen
. New Orleans p
She has effectually answered the ae
long query respecting woman. "Whs
can she do?'' She Is of that mob
company Of women who are comm
into their own In this our day.

MONEY AND MARRIAGE.

The newspapers printed story not
long ago that illustrated the old truth
that happiness In marriage IL not de-
pendent upon money.
A rich young married couple by
some turn of the wheel of fortune
lost all their money. Instead of being
wealthy these people became very poor.
.sNever mind, dear" said the wife;
"you can get job and can cook. "
There were no repinings on either
side and no reproaches. The husband
got a job by which he was able to
make bare living. The wife gave up
her sumptuous home and servants and
went to a small nat. where she did
her own work and helped her hus-
band besides.
Despite their misfortunes they were
quite happy together.
Then came another turn of the
wheel and By inheritance the couple
was rich again.
And then the sequel:
The money that came to them
proved a curse instead OF blessing.
The husband could not stand pros
perity. Luxury enervated him. He
lost moral fiber He fell into evil
ways. Gradually the husband and
wife drifted away from each other
she into society. he into business and
sports. Finally the husbands ind
deity became intoierable He was
VIGOROUSLY nntrue to the wife who had
stood By him in the day Of adversely.
The story reached It's climax In the
soriid proceedings OF the divorce
court
All Of which Is typical.
AS between the two, It would seem
that poverty has It's advantages over
great wealth In connubial matters.
True. the hard conditions Of the pool
take much out of life's romance and
| tend to make men and women callous
But
Poverty endured il the right splri
| does tend TO bind husband and wift
together in close and intimate Eel
Iowship.
/ On the other hand
Wealth tends TO separate man ana

Distance lends enchantment to the
view.
Through the haze of distance the
hills lose their rugged aspects.
Time puts haIos about the brOws Of
men and women that are dead.
Recently there has been a renais-
sance Of the fame of Joan Of Ara.
She has been made saint-and de
servedly so. But Joan Of Arc lived
so long ago that her virtues have
been exalted above that Of living
maidens.
Are there girls as heroic and as pa
triotic today?
Certainly.
Isaura vilIanuveo, q Spanish woman
who melted the Yaqui Indians in their
justified revolt against the Mexican
government. was a modern Joan of
Arc. Inundated, but heroic, she com.
mitted suicide a few weeks ago by
stabDing herself nine times.
Isaura villanuveo may not be canon
lied a saint In the years to come, but
her devotion and heroism were as
great as that of the Maid OF Orleans
Nearly 1000 years ago lived phil
anthropic woman named Dorcas.
A modest woman. she made clothes
for the destitute and won Immortality
by her needle Thousands of Dorcas 50
cietaes have paid tribute to her memory
Are there women ike Dorcas today
/ Thousands of them.
Take the case Of Kate Barnard d
/ Oklahoma. She is known as ''the an
gel of Oklahoma" She has clothes
and looked after small army o
children. She has secured employ
ment for hundreds of men and w0
men. She has reformed men, rescue,
women and saved little children.
And besides all thistle work Of T;
hundred Dorcases-she has been pc
tent influence In the organization an,
early legislation of the new state.

Dorcas has--because Dorcas lived $
long ago.

A POLITE HUSBAND.

This is an unusual tale of judicfous
husband and a silly wife.
An Illinois man learned somehow
that his wife intended to elope with
another man. He made no effort to
prevent the elopement. merely taking
care to intercept the train on which
the wife departed at the station where
she was to meet her gay admirer.
The husband selected the psyche
logical moment when the couple ex-
changed the first greetings on the sta
ton platform.
He stepped up to the clippers and,
raising his hat. remarked In well
modulated voice:
pardon ne. am about to take this
lady home TO her mother"
The couple was taken by surprise.
The man in the case Hdgeted mo-
ment and fsded away. The woman
was SO dazed she could offer no re-
monstrance.
She was hustled into closed car
riage. Her husband mounted the box
with the driver And thus she was
conveyed back to her starting point.
The husband escorted her to her
mothers door and, upon the appear.
anee Of the mother, politely said:
81 beg your pardon, madam, but
have brought your daughter home
He then went back to his work as Il
nothing had happened.
Evidently this husband had sense
of dramatic fitness that was opposed
to the usual melodrama Of such coca
sions. Certainly he did his act arts
tically and without heroics.
The sequel? The wife later on go
a divorce on the charge Of "deser
| t;on," the husband. with admirable
taste, refusing to make any defense IL
