Don't begrudge your husband a few
hours spent with his men friends.
You meet friends. Be considerate and
give him the same privilege.
Don't bother him with troublesome
rifles that happen during the day.
Don't whine and complain over
cousehold difficulties.
Don't overwork and be tired and
cross when he comes home. Your hus-
band will see you tired and irritable
where he will not be conscious of a
few grains of dust which you may
have dissipated at the expense of your
strength.
Don't let yourself get old and ugly.
Take time to keep yourself young and
20 cultivate good looks. If you can't
De beautiful, try to be interesting
Don't forget to cultivate your mind.
Read about what is going on in the
great world, so that if he makes a re-
mark on current events you will be
able to answer him intelligently in
stead of giving him blank stare.
Don't inquire how his business is

InciviIity of women.

We hear and read much concerning
woman's rudeness to man and mans
ngentlemanly attitude toward wom-
ankind-but what about woman's in
civility to woman? Is there anything
TO equal it? There are, says an oh'
serving writer, would-be ladies, there
are so-called ladies and there are la
lies. The first may get into the Sec
ond class. but neither of the two is
likely to rise to the third. Whether
through fault or misfortune an Unfin-
ished lady seldom achieves the fin
iShed state.
The lack of consideration for the
rights of others shown in public ~
women who pass by courtesy for
ladies is of kind peculiar to itself
and members of their own sex are
usually the victims Women who trav-
el in public conveyances with their
children are sometimes almost brutal
ly callous. Who has not seen mother

package-laden women are 'strap-hang-
ing" in visible discomfort directly in
front of her? Conductors, however eff
cient, must not criticise the manners
few men venture to complain to or of
a woman, therefore the remedy would
seem to depend on the victims them
selves, if the evil is to be remedied
at all.
One of the guiding rules of would-be
ladies who never will be ladies appears
to be that of last come first served.
You will best observe this wonanish
trait at a ticket window, a bargain
counter, or any similar place where
individuals are being waited on one
at time, and the order OF precedence
Is not enforced. Go, for example, into
any large department store which
maintains a trading stamp booth.
Meek and patient women who have
been waiting five or ten minutes for

ever other women may feel about it.

oerating to note the serene impudence

arc of human endeavor, made for
cheap versatility rather than, as in
the case of men, for the development
of special gifts. Her working hours
and her wages are arbitrarily fixed by
men. Her habits are settled by men.
Her intellectual convictions are doled
out to her by men. She has never,
until this generation, been permitted
to cultivate her mind. AS her chief
control of man is through his senses,
she thinks almost entirely with her
emotions"

A DOES STRATAGEM.
Threw the Dogs on the Scent and
Saved Her Fawn.


Saved Her Fawn.
The following anecdote is related by
NJ. X. Raspall. 1t is worthy of COM
parison with the most remarkable of
instances of the same kind.
The author ore day perceived a doe
in full flight before two dogs in the
Aigle woods that form a part of the
forest of Cbantilly The doe was &C
companied by a very young fawn,
which appeared quite exhausted and
ready to drop. The mother, doubtless
well aware of this, slackened her pace
and presently stopped close to some
thick bramble bushes. She remained
some time there with lowered head as
if awaiting the onset of her pursuers.
Suddenly an idea seemed to strike
her. and with butt of the head she
tossed her fawn right into the middle
of the thicket. Then, first advancing
gently as il to make sure it was well
hidden, she soon set off by rapid
bounds In front of the dogs The lat
ter barking close upon her heels. she
made a sudden bend and thus drew
them far from the spot where this
Incident occurred. The bowling of the
dogs became fainter and fainter, the
valiant animal having doubtless led
them two kilometers away into the
Canardiere peat boys. where the dogs
often lose the scent.
In fact, later they were seen return
ing to the village in an exhausted con-
dition. while the diligent mother
doubtless returned to the bushes to
find the little fawn she had so clever.

How to Cure, Keep Fresh and Cook
1t Right.
While salt beef is not as nutritious
nor so digestible as fresh meat, it has
its place. At times it is craved in
the scme way that good ham appeals
to the appetite satiated with steaks.
chops and rOasts. 1t is especially
good in warm weather, with fresh
vegetables, and many people prefer 20
salt it at home. 1t takes but little
time TO make cold brine, and if t
is strong enough so that a small
portion of the salt will not dissolve
no matter how much it is stirred, then
it is in good condition: Cut the meat
into pieces not over inches thick,
and do not let them lie in the brine too
long. because the meat will then be too
salt and hard.
A scum rising on brine is a sign
that it is not in good condition.
Scald it and add more salt, sugar and
saltpeter, keeping the original proper
tions of each, or else throw it away,
feet condition. Let the meat lie in
the brine three or four days, when il
will be sufficiently soft. In a large
stone Jar mix four cups of rock salt.
one-half ounce of Saltpeter and one
half cup of brown sugar, with four
quarts of cold water. Stir until the
solution is as complete as it can be
made. then lay in the pieces of meat
that have been rubbed over well with
salt. Lay a plate on the meat and
a stone on that, then cover the jar.
What pieces TO buy for corning g
the next question. Some housewives
select solid piece from the round,
but it is a more common way to buy
cuts from the forequarter That part
called the rattle rand and also the
brisket are each cut in three pieces,
and all are excellent for corning. The
price years ago was low. but for some
time past no cut of beef is inexpensive.
unless IL may be the shin bone.
Beef that has been in brine but a
few days is best put into boiling wa.
ter to cook. AS soon as the water boils
again skim well and set back where it
will simmer until very tender. Corned
beef is much better if cooled in the
water in which II is cooked II beef
is very salt 1t IS better to put 1t on
in cold water, but in either case cook
slowly. When beef is TO be pressed,
place it with the fibers running length
wise of the pan or mold, as the slices
will then cut across the grain. Set
another pan on the beef and a fiatiron
in it for weight.

CHAPTER XVI.


Lady Garland came down to break

utes earlier than her niece She made
the tea, and then she began to look
through her mornings letters. Most of
them were bills. and she flung them
down one after the other in heap on
the table beside her.

them are for Irene's rousseau" she
said to herself with satisfaction, and
that generous fellow Taunton will pay

chuckled to herself over her own clev-

own wedding garment of expensive
heliotrope satin, profusely trimmed
with lace. should be entered in Irene's
bill. and that IL was therein described
in such vague terms that Mr. Taunton
would certainly pay for 1t with all the
rest without a suspicion of its being

letters when a cab dashed up to the

Try to be useful just where you are.
Many of us are fond of imagining
how much we should do if our cir

But that is waste of time. The thing
to do is to do as much as you can

the most of your opportunities.
Don't be so busy preparing for
some vague future time when you will
be happy that you have no time to be
happy to-day. The future will soon be
the present, and the chances are that,
when it does come, We shall still be so
busy planning that we shall miss our
