THE HOUSEWIVES OPPORTUNITY

The complaint that the cost of living increases seems ever with us. It finds no relief m the an- on behalf of the American Asso- citation of Meat Packers that there can be no lowering in the prices of their products, which they assert are not artificial, but properly due to the relation between supply and demand. This repetition of condition makes proper the re- iteration of the remedy, which lies chiefly in the realm of the American housewife. She holds the key to the situation, which can be solved by the substitution of economy for wastefulness. This is a lesson that has been learned in Europe, as may be seen by the wholesome thrift of the most desirable immigrants The average labor CT today lives better, according to Secretary Wilson, than did Queen Elizabeth in her time. That may not square with Sir Walter Scott's description of the royal feast at Wentworth, but that was a special occasion
 However, it would appear that the American workingman can still eat meat even thrice day, if only his good wife will accept little training in marketing The present trouble, any dealer in meat will tell an inquirer is that the demand continues to be for socalled "choice cuts" A recent expert estimate is that 80 per cent of buyers demand 20 per cent of the carcass of a steer. Yet other cuts are intrinsically as good as the srloin and the porterhouse. In fact, other parts are pronounced more nourishing. The entire question is that of preparation for the table. If that process be properly done, meat costing from to 12 cents a pound can be made palatable as we'll as sustaining. Hence it appears that the housewife is mistress of the situation. It is for her to know, first, how to buy, and, second, how to cook. Let her exercise her capacity for skill, and civilized man will re- new the assurance that he cannot live without her, but that with her he can wax strong, despite the market cost of meat.

THRONES OF PHRAsEoLoeY J

Epigrams are not always made by the politi cal speakers. Sometimes it is the lowlv person filled with righteous indignation that presents an old subject in a new and striking light. This IS shown m letter received by the president of the New York board of education recently. The fond papa was wroth when his daughter came home with an inefficency mark. and here is mart of the contents of his letter:
 Sir: The school ladies want higher sal. ary? What for? Every object of study has to be verbally learned by heart, so is grammar arithmetic, geography, which is hardly tanpbt where does the teaching come in?l More salary they ask, these females, for 200 days teaching Let these females learn how to knit a nair of stockings, how to mend them! These heroines of phraseology should first learn how to teach Sending scholar of good conduct and sound intelligence home with an inef6ciencv mark shows what we get for our time and money Nothing!'
 NOW, we sympathize with this parent. for be IS III New York. Such letter could not be writ ten, or at least justly written in Chicago Phil adelphla, or even in Baltimore But in New iofK It IS different. We must be prepared for any eVentuallty III that burg at the mouth of tho iudson. 1t IS not the fault of the teacher How can she be expected to teach, with ''The Cav Wmte Way so near, with Tammanv assurino iler that her position does not depend on merif Wlth the yellow journals coming off the nroos every nall hour, with the suffragettes in conyon tioh, With the modiste and miIliner presentno new designs m the shops along Broadway wifi req hre political processions passing the door every evening?

THE DEBUTANTE

In the springtime the sweet girl graduate oc- cupies the center of the stage, and we all bow in submission. The fairest of the fair, she eclipses all else, and the laying aside of her books begins new era in her life. The month of June be- longs to the brides, and again we yield all iii paying court to womanhood at the most auspi- cious time of her life. These two occasions create no more furry among the fair sex than does the coming of winter, when the debutante comes into the limelight
 Soon the society bud will be the center of an admiring throng. She approximates the bride as an attractive parsonage. She has reached the midway point between the commencement day and the altar. She now sets out on her conquest, for social duties in the feminine world are as business pursuits to the masculine portion of the population.
 There is no more interesting time in girl $ life than the period following her first intro duction to society. She looks forward to round of pleasures such as have been denied her while at school or seminary; the theater receptions, dinners teas, and dancing parties all combine to add gayety to her few years of freedom from school espionage, and preceding the more seri- ous years which are certain to follow. The duties of life have not yet been laid on her shoul- ders, and the cares of household are an un- realized dream
 The butterfly of fashionable life is simile we'll used. The chrysalis of the school days be- omes~the bud" of the winter season, and the sight of the multi-colored and beautifully yarie- gated butterfly fitting about in the sunlight is no greater source of enjoyment from an artistic standpoint than the smile of the girlish face as she for the first time participates in fe's pleas ures. To her, life is like romance: the fairy princes ot fiction seem almost real, and the gold en age of song and music and birth is not by gone period, but present and tangible one.

PRIZE WINNING HUSBANDS

Stand up and be counted, oh ye husbands that hope to wear blue ribbons around your lovely necks. The blue ribbon may be one of bond age, such as famous Mir. Henpecked has been wearing for, To, these many ages, but what mat tereth that, when the judges are twelve pretty women, all of whom have had experience at training worse half-have been keeping him at home when the musical comedies were calling the loudest, when the club had vacant chair, or when a little dinner party at the fashionable cafe was lacking one memberY
 Yes the gods have provided husbands in Chi cago that meet with the approval of the fair sex, despite the city's reputation as divorce and alimony center. To prove to the world that the city has been maligned, the fair ladies distinguished by having spouses who have not yet broken the bonds have arranged for a com petition of their wares. Tonight will be red letter day i'll the annals of the city made famous by Mrs. OLeary's COW. There will be on dis play an exhibit worthy of Apollo's smile. Illus bands of all shapes, sizes, conditions of servi- tude, and all trained to their duties will be crit ically inspected by committee of twelve women.
 When the decision is announced, the model man will be found Thereafter the quotations of live stock and grain on the board of trade will be followed by the valuation of husbands. One who can rock the cradle and pare the potatoes at the same time will get a higher mark than he who can make the bed. The one who goes out only two nights month will average 90 per cent, while he who flirts with the servant girl in order to keep her should not be marked with a demerit
 One thing is lacking to make the scheme per feet There should be some one high in author lty, now or recently, to come forward with a prize for the anti-raee suicide competitor Then the occasion of MT. and Mrs. James S. Mccall lough's third wedding anniversary would be a joy to all beholders

that between T and 8 is the busy hour in MT. Cohen's store. So Katy sings to herself, Love me and the world is mine." while putting up granulated sugar in pound bags And Abe mur- murs something about waiting. walt ing. waiting" while seeking in vain to find interest and attraction in the window of cigar store. By 7:s0 Abe is all out of patience. However. reason again gets the best of him and he watches the clock until 70. until the hands creep up exactly to five minutes before eight. Abe de- cides to hold out the five minutes. and i-in the next moment he Is hastening to the store where Katy is waiting.
 Then father and mother Cohen find convenient corners in the store. or per- haps in the living rooms behind the store. Little sister is dispatched for something which may and may not be needed. Little brother is sent away by the wise mother to uncle Isaac to find out whether there was not let- ter from the old world today. And Katy and Abe are left alone.
 Love Making Under Difficulties.
 Over the counter they plan out their future. Of course. this planning is in- terrupted now and then by the en- trance of a customer. But the cus- toners soon get to know that "this is Katy's feller." and either joke with him or else they betake themselves off the minute their order is filled. Some of the customers. girls of Katy's age, finger while longer fin the store. talk ing good look at ''Katy's fellow" but their lingering Katy does not mind. On the contrary. she likes 1t. It does her heart good to discern the yelled envy with which the girls look at one so far ahead of them---'.a fel- low ahead at least
 A little before 10 o'clock Mir Cohen suddenly begins to find work about the store. He begins to poke around here and there and everywhere. The mother tries to call MT. Cohen back once or twice. But. 1t is of no use. The "old man" is there to see that Abe ,betakes himself home as soon as possible. This he does not out of meanness of heart but because it Is business to do so. Abe works ten hours a day He works piece work. and that means that he works hari. So he must have a decent rest. Mir cohen's apparent harshness Is really fatherly love for his future son-in-law and for his daughter. He wants her future husband to preserve his health. And so at 10 o'clock Katy takes Abe to the next corner and five minutes later she Is back again in the store. And Mir. Cohen Is happy--for he has saved his future son-in-law at least four dimes which he would have spent if he had taken his sweetheart out for the evening. he has saved his health by sending him away home at 10 o'clock sharp. and he has kept his daughter in the store the entire even. ing.
