is NO PERFECT HUSBAND.
Also May Be Remarked That There Is
No Perfect Wife.

A distinguished lecturer, who has
also won fame in the pulpit, is going
around the country describing the
perfect husband and is received with
delighted audiences-of women. 1t
is much to be regretted that men are
not in attendance. We are not aware
that there are many perfect husbands
in the world, and if the learnd lee.
turer has some new points which will
increase the serenity of the domestic
hearthstone the men should have
them.
1t does not seem to have occurred
to the women who are so enthusiastic
over this typical but unbound perfect
husband that he will never be happy
without a perfect wife. We admit
that as a rule women are better than
men in the large morals of life, but
the perfect one has not been discover
ed. Hence the domestic squabbleS,
hence the divorce courts, hence these
tears. The perfect husband has large
load to carry, and it is much to be
feared that he finds life burden at
times because of his lack of sympathy.
The perfect wife, if she exists, is al
ways saddled on to human imperfec-
tion of the male variety and much is
the fuss made about it. Men are con-
tent, like the humble beings that they
are, to take their troubles silently,
but wives feel that the world is en-
titled to know the burden of their
sorrows
All of which is slush, of course.
There is neither perfect man nor
woman in the world and it isn't par
ticularly desirable that there should
be home without friction, but it is
quite possible and essential that the
difficulties be reduced to the mini
mum.
The whole trouble with the matri-
monial situation today is that there
is so little of the willing mind on
either side to seek an accommodation
In married life there is necessary
compromise between two individual
natures. Wise couples are willing to
establish a home based on mutual
sacrifice, mutual love, and mutual
help. The unwise couples rush to
home and mother and then to the d1-
vorce courts. M
People in this world who complain
of trouble have usually themselves to
blame. Most of the troubles we have
never happen, and such as occur may
for the most part, be avoided. The
perfect man and woman are not nee
essary, but the sensible man and wife
do not need the law or the prophets
to make them happy in their own
home It takes two persons always
to make quarrel, and it is easier to
effect happy compromise than most
persons imagine.
Some people think married life
torment. If so, it is because they
have remarkable facilities for making
it so. The world is filled with happy
homes. Philadelphia Inquirer.

THE USEFUL OUTER SLEEVE.
Many Ways by Which contrivance
May Be Made UP.

Now that long sleeves are once
more in, women must resort to outer
sleeves as protection if they are work
ing or writing This need is often
filled by sleeves of folded handker-
chiefs, but the chief objection to them
is that they require too frequent
washing.
Quickly made and convenient pro
tectors can be made from sheets of
stiff writing paper. commercial size.
Use the paper crosswise, fold back
the two lower corners about half the
depth of the sheet and turn in the
upper halves and across the top to the
depth of an inch This gives firm
surface to hold pins and the turned
back corners enable the cuff to reach
nearly to the elbow on the back of the
arm where the sleeve rubs without
interfering with the action of the
arm.
These paper cuffs can be used sew
eral times before they need be thrown
away.
Another convenient cuff is maze
from white oilcloth. These should be
long enough to reach to the elbow at
the back of the arm and should slope
well below the bend OF the arm IN
front. Sew in seam and punch two
small holes on each side of the seam
at the top of the cuff, through when
to pin small safety pin.
That the safety pin may not ever
be missing, attach one to each cum
with n short tape. These oilcloth Guns
,,r ba washed off and have the ad
vantage of lasting longer than paper
without needing the washing OF mus
lin or handkerchief protectors.

amethysts for Day Wear.

For day wear amethysts are un-
doubtedly the fashion. The really well
dressed woman has sets of these hat
pins, long watch chain and brooch to
match. In most of the hat pins the
stone is elongated or spherical.
There are some of the prettiest long
chains in which the amethysts are cut
square and quite fiat. and the links OF
the chain are of gold and about half
inch in length. This is a smart de
sign and looks equally well when worn
with either a tailored or lingerie waist.
Lapis lazuli is also popular and be-
coming for brooches. Large square
or diamond-shaped ones, set in silver,
arc very stylish, worn at the throat to
hold ones jabot in place.

SON OF INDIAN RAJAH.
WORLDS RICHEST PRINCE A STU.
DENT AT HARVARD.
Iaisingrao Gaikwar, Who Will Some
Day Rule 100000 People of
Baroda, Preparing Himself
for Future Position.

Boston.-The future ruler of 3,000,-
that make the famed wealth of Midas
pale into insignificance, Prince Jaisin-
grao Gaikwar, the son of an Indian
rajah, is now preparing himself at
Harvard for his future position.
When the Gaikwar of Baroda, sec
ond in Importance among the rajahs,
visited America two years ago. he
wsss so pleased with the methods of
teaching at Harvard that his last
word to President, Eliot was that his
sons would be sent to finish their ed
ucation at Cambridge.
Accordingly, Jaisingrao Gailiwar, 10
years old, elder son of the rajah, is
now installed in sumptuous suite of
rooms in upper Westmorley court one
of the most exclusive outside" dormi-
tories.
The heir to an annual income of
$12,000.000. Prince Gaikwar, as he is
known, asserts his democracy by a
comparatively modest college exist
ence, and an attitude of good fellow
ship which has already made him
popular among Harvard men.
Among the many heirs to vast for
tunes who have attended Harvard, the
future rajah of Gaikwar can probably
boast of the most fabulously wealthy
father.
To-day the maharaiah's public rev.
enues reach total of s6,000,0O0 a

Then, every houseowner should
make it point to get only we'll
known reliable brands in buying his
materials. Pure white lead is espe-
cially important, or the paint will
not prove satisfactory. The famous

makers of pure white lead, is an abb

quality of the white lead sold under

SHAWLs NOW THE FASHION.
Made of Crepe and Silk, They Are
Seen Everywhere.

One who is in Paris writes that the
fashion of the day is for shawls made
of crepe and silk. They are worn in
Highland fashion, with the right end
thrown over the left shoulder.
All edges are heavily fringed and
there is lovely border in rich colors.
These are worn by women who are
driving, by those sitting in boxes at
the theater and by those wearing
smart one piece costumes at after
noon affairs.
The French woman is quite keen
about the idea, and she is buying
wonderful old shawls to go with her
different costumes.
The best ones are in cream. in
white and in black, but all have the
colored border
The most desired shawl is one of
real Chinese crepe. These come in
many colors, with heavy embroidery
and deep, thick silk fringe.
This has succeeded the Spanish
shawl. which began the popularity.
Just why this fashion came about
no one knows. If it had begun in
London the reason would be simple,
because Edward VII. revived his
mothers custom this Christmas of
sending out half hundred Indian
shawls as gifts to his friends.
