Of his life and his overpowering am

He had spent two years in the quest

REVOLUTION IN MEXICO

The revolution or rebellion against
the Diaz government is subsiding al
though the rebels and rebel sympath-
izers are said to be very numerous.
President Diaz may recall General
Reyes from Europe to become vice
president of Mexico, and this, it is
thought, would be middle ground
upon which all could unite.

THE FLETCHER FAD,
A School to Teach the Debutante
How to Eat.
THE WOMAN WHO ARGUES.

What Gave Jerome X. Jerome the Idea
For "The Passing of the Third Floor
Back"-Two Questions Tactful Wives
Never Ask Their Husbands.
Dear Elsa-The Fletcherizing fad is
not new enc by any means, but there
Is a develNpment Of it here in New
York this winter that is decidedly nov
ell, a school to teach the debutante how
to eat, or, rather, how to masticate
properly. Isn't it great, this idea of
going to school to learn how to eat?
Some people l know would do well to
attend sueb a class, judging from their
unique table manners, but the school
in question does not limit itself to In
struction in the use Of the orange
spoon and oyster fork. 1t has more to
do with the process of eating per sc.
The object all sublime seems to be
to save the digestions of the debutante
and prevent the buds from developing
into chronic dyspeptics. For after a
round OF dances, luncheonS, QlnnefS
and more dinners these first season
maidens soon lose the roses from their
cheeks, their spirits lag and their tenn
pers clash. The trouble lies with their
digestions, so says the Instructor Of
this new class of FletcheriZers. She
promises TO teach them how to go to a
bridge breakfast-the smartest of the
new functions-a luncheon, Il formal
dinner and supper after the theater

swear" is nothing but rubbing"

swear" is nothing but "rubbing.'
Every time you hard rub your clothes
against nything, little particles are
rubbed away.
Boiling softens the fibre Of cotton,
linen, silk and wool, and when rubbed
hard on the washboard they wear away
faster than at any other time.
Try to think how many days of wear
are represented by one trip to the old
time waShtub.
Fels-Naptha requires neither boiling
water nor hard rubbing.
And there is no washboard wear on
the clothes washed the Fels-Naptha way
Fels-Naptha is mads to do away with
boiling and hard rubbing; therefore if
you use it as an ordinary soap, you cause
yourself unnecessary work.
Use Fels-Naptha in cool or luke
warm water and it will do all we claim,
1t will cut the washday in half, sum-
mer or winter, and do silently and effec-
lively all the real hard work.
If you follow the simple directions
on the red and green wrapper, you will
never return to ordinary soaps and the
old-fashioned way of washing.

Spouse There are two kinds Of
questions-those that may and should
be asked and those that should be
avoided as a pestilence. Marriage
gives no one the right to ask imperti-
nent questions. If, however, the
wheels Of life are to run smoothly
there are certain things a woman must
know, and If she is not told she must
ask. The amount Of q mans income,
for instance, is legitimate question,
for how can a woman cut her coat ac
cording to her cloth unless she is told
how much cloth there is? Now, if it
does not occur to her husband to tell
Perth Amboy evening news., 1910-01-28

imparting Information Is making q
great mistake. There is one variety OF
question, though, that should never be
put in any circumstances. In an evil
moment 1t sometimes occurs to the
young bride to ask such fearful rid
die as 'Tf your mother and 1 were
drowning, which would you save
firstT Comment is needless. Another
best avoided is 'Am the only woman
you ever loved?" In these days 1t
were more to the point to inquire If
you are the last woman he is going to
love.

her she is obliged to ask.
But, as a rule, men love to be asked
questions. There is nothing the mas
culine nature likes so much as Instruct
ing. 1t is immaterial that the subject
on which, he yearns to impart informa-
ton is one he knows least about. Take
Mark Twain's advice, ut is best to
put up with Information the way you
get It and seem satisfied with 1t and
surprised at 1t and grateful for it and
