LITTLE PROBLEMS OF
LOVE AND MARRIAGE,
Is the Ideal Love Eper Realized?

shouldered Gibson fellow walks down
the aisle with a lanly man whose head
Is beginning TO show a bald spot. Love
may blind Mary before marriage as to
just what Johns temper means, but she
is not long in finding il out after the
knot is tied.
Yet they are all happy. II anything

they would laugh and say, Rubbish"
They know what travesties they were Of
real life
Il does no harm 10 cherish the poets
ideal of love; the pure, fine feeling that
lifts one above all selfshness. But the
ideal Of a perfectly happy existence with
an absolutely fauluess creature Is not
to be realized in this world.
The ideals of love Of maturer years
are more likely 10 De- realized. one

marriage IS not a rapturous state OF eK-

genial and happy companionship found

practical things OF life that Will give him

should marry a person of similar tastes:
that If he likes home life he should seek
the domestic woman and not the social
butterfly; that he can't expect the girl
who displays Selfshness in every act TO
be suddenly transformed into an un-
selfish wife by the marriage service He

Cheerfulness.
From the Raltimore Star.

Prom the baltimore Star.
The cheerfulness that tells most at
family meals finds expression in light,
pleasant. happy talk. Do not bring your
troubles to the table, but interesting anec-
dotes, and the happenings OF the corner
Of the world in which your work is stu
ated If the father brings home pleasant
things 10 talk about, his business life will
be real and glowing TO those who love
and believe in him and can see life only
through his eyes. To be cheerful is not
to be artificial, neither is forcing in
sincerity upon those around you Cheer
fulness is a form of unselfishness. a
difficult, noble form which is too seldom
given the appreciation 1t deserves
The Washington herald., 1910-02-08

The young person is not apt 10 be
analytical a boy or girl does not sit
down and reason out what love is. how
II will come. and what it will be like.
They are more likely 10 indulge in
vague beautiful dreams Of some ecstatic
feeling and some impossibly perfect per-
son who at some time will come into
their lives and thenceforth they will be
happy for evermore.
The reading which young people in
dulge in is no doubt largely responsible
for this rose-colored view Of the situa-
ton. Poets paint a beautiful and an
ideal love. Theirs IS usually the passion
itself in its purity and it does TO harm
to place such an ideal before young
people. But the light novels which
young girls consume in such quantities
are vastly different Here love is rep
resented as Il IS demonstrated in mar
riage and usually entirely false and over
colored pictures of life are given. From
these girls build up their ideals of love.
ideals that Il is impossible to realize in
this human, practical world. Boys as a
rule do not read books Of this character
so extensively. But they touch upon
fdealized love enough TO set their mag
inatlon at work. BY the time both are
coming TO the end Of their teens they
have built up a beautiful and usually
utterly impractical ideal Of love and mar
riage. Then they march forward into
the world with the bright enthusiasm OF
youth, expecting TO find this ideal
Beauty is apt TO have the place Of

Black Wall Paper.

From the Baltimore American.
Women with fair compilations. faxen
or golden hair and unlimited means for
house furnishing. viii rejoice 20 hear that
a wall paper has been invented that will
do Justice 20 their charms.
Every variety Of color in wall paper
has been tried in vain. The women with
fair faces and faxen hair have always
had a grievance. Either their complexion
and hair did not go with" the paper or
the paper did not go with" the complex
ion and hair.
Dark-haired women, with Southern
skins, have found almost any hue Of wall
paper effective. whether white or Grim
son or green. but women with a complex
ion OF lilies and a crown Of fax have al
ways felt that they We're not shown up 10

The Laundry.

From the Baltimore star.
When an article becomes scorched in
ironing lay 1t over a plate or platter and
moisten the scorched spot with a jellylike
mixture of soap, starch and water. Place
piece Of glass over all and lay in the
sun. Remosten as often as necessary
until all the stain is removed.
To wash blankets, pour into a tub half
a pint of household ammonia and lay
blanket over it; cover Immediately with
lukewarn water. This sends the fumes
Of the ammonia through the blanket and
loosens the dirt. The blanket should then
be stirred about with a stick and pressed
until all the dirt seems to be in the
water: then rinse in a tub of clear water
of the same temperature as the first, run
lightly through a wTinger and hang out
to dry.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN.
FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIEW

The other day a sensible judge. after
listening TO the woes of a divided house
hold, ordered the wife 10 send away
her mother and treat good husband as
he deserved, and to the woman's credit,
0e II said she obeyed his honor without
delay There was a family where a
mother-in-law was no joke. and there
are many more where the strong hand
of the law is needed IN the establishment
OF peace.
Nobody can explain the perversity
which rules a woman TO her own disad-
vantage. A mother-in-law who is sem
sibe and sweet-tempered is generally
valued member of the family. She may
believe that no woman is quite good
enough for her son. but she has the sense
TO let him be the best judge OF his own
happiness and takes the woman OF his
choice to her heart. In controversies Of
any description she refuses to take sides,
and when she is wise retreats to her
own room at the first sign OF domestic
cloudiness.
Should she be the mother OF the wife
it is her duty to point out the good quail
tiles of the man TO whom she is indebted
for home, and to strive TO make her
daughter happy and contented with the
lot she has chosen. ] am not describing
an impossible creature, for have known
several mothers-in-law who were very
lovable. women who were honored mem
bers of the family. permitted to have a
share in its duties. If they desired. or

care. have seen some of the other
variety, l am sorry 10 say, and / have
no hesitation in declaring that ii would
be only common justice for them 10 be
turned adrift and left TO shift for them
selves. They are joykillers whose in
fuence is felt even by the babies.
Were II not for the fear that another
woman would prove d sorry burden In
the house there would be plenty OF good
homes for unattached women, some with
salaries. In homes where there are chill

| in housework Possibly women would
rather be independent in speech and ac-
| ton and bear loneliness and want. but
it seems a sorry life 10 me. Companion
ship sweetens existence even in poverty
and burdens which are shared are happily
borne II is natural for families 10 hold
together as long as possible and a moth
er's place is in the home OF son or daugh-
ter. But nobody wants 10 live In an at
mosphere Of bitterness, and disturbing
elements should not be tolerated. II
seems 10 me that It is time for mothers
in-law to redeem themselves.

Advice to Parents to Be Private.

Prom the Baltimore Star.
Don't tell any one your chHdren's faults,
even to their relatives. If you need ad-
vice. get it privately. Notifying children
creates bitterness I'm their unframed
hearts and estranges them from YOU.
Don't tell YOUR own age or ask for
figures concerning others.
Don't tell your neighbor that you dis
approve Of his or her ideas. BY so doing
you will find how soon you will be for
gotten by them.
Do not tell that your children cannot
be induced TO read, for this Is largely
your own fault Educate their tates in
reading by your own interest in books
You Will find that. as children grow old
or. their tastes in literature viii change
for the better. II one child likes GER
tain kind Of reading, do not compel an
other 10 listen to it. but give ali an equal
chance.

From the baltimore American.
Cupid performed quick work tn the

Miss Clemons went 10 Youngstown 10

for Miss Clemons' sU't, and the constable
went out to serve item. While waiting
for the defendant 10 appear. Stoney whis-
pered something into the ear of Miss
Clemons. He was answered with a blush
and a nod.
Excuse me-" he said, and hastened
out Of the Office. About ten minutes later
he was back with marriage license.

Lamb Broth.

When making a broth use a quart OF
water to every pound Of bones and meat.
Let soup boil slowly always. Cut the
meat and crack the bones. Throw in any
vegetables and herbs which seem de-
sirahle. When all is thoroughly done
strain through sieve or serge bag. Re
