~ HE sort Of a wife that will make a
man happy depends altogether
- upon his temperament and tastes.
What would suit one man would drive
another 10 distraction. What are irri-
tating faults to some pass unnoticed by
others. SO whether an extravagant but
agreeable woman is preferred 10 the
thrifty but undressing depends largely
upon the mans predictions in these
directions.
Every one is familiar with the agree
able woman who can talk most entertain
ingly, who can play the piano like a
Vrtuoso or sing like a leading lady"
but whose house is a trail Of disorder
from garnet TO cellar and whose children
are untidy and unkempt Every one also
knows the woman whose home is always
in apple-pie order. whose meals are fault
less whose children shine with clean
liness. but who is absolutely dull
as a comparison and who seemingly
never has a thought above her dishpan
and sewing machine. Which sort OF wom-
an is the better wife depends largely
upon what a man wants In a wife.
The man whose sole delight IS in the
creature comforts of home prefers, Of
course. the practical. if prosy, helpmate.
II he knows he will not be happy unless
his home Is orderly, his meals we'll cook

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

There is one feminine trick with which
men have no patience at all, and that IS
/ the habit of chattering in public places.
Presumably good money Is paid TO see
and hear what is going on behind foot
lights, but there IS no proof Of It in
groups of women who talk all through
performance and prevent those in the
immediate vicinity from getting the value
of their money.
Occasionally you will find men quite as
willing to talk, but their intellect is open
to question. because chattering is not
masculine trait. Generally, they are men
who pay social court TO women who have
the talking habit, but occasionally will
be found a man whose age and talents
lead US to expect better things in the
way Of department. The most conspicu-
Gus Of the latter class who ever came
under my observation was an artist with
society's seal of approval upon his work,
man with white hair and a bitter
! tongue. On the occasion when he was
asked by woman in front TO be kind
enough to allow her to hear what the
| players were saying, he protested to his
| feminine companion that he did not care
to so to the theater If he could not talk,
and he dragged her away after the cur
tain fell upon the second act. Of which
they had seen but little, as they arrived
when it was well under way.
/ Sometimes one has the misfortune to
| be placed near woman who knows all
about the play and airs her knowledge in
advance. 1t is decidedly annoying 10
have a performance spoiled in that fash
| ion, and there have been a few players
who have had the courage to halt
performance and insist upon courteous at
tention. The Boston Symphony Orchestra
| has added much to public enjoyment by
insisting upon silence during the per-
Torrance Of each number. thus barring
out late arrivals and consequent distrac-
ton.
/ Annoyances can be put down by deter
mined effort-witness the hat nuisance.
There were obstinate fighters against the
edct, and a half victory IN the form Of
| permission to wear a small, fiat head
covering, but women did not generally
/ take advantage OF IL. A few defiant
/ females had TO be escorted TO the street
| by the police, but in the end we all feu
/ into line as we would in every case where
persistence is the feature. persistence
/ from those in position to use It.
| I imagine that more secrets have leaked
out by speech in public than through all
other means combined. l know that I
have learned in that manner enough to
/ set scores OF families by the ears. Were
a mischief-maker l could be extremely
busy with persons whom I know as we'll
as with strangers. Some women never
realize that even low tones carry in
places built for that express purpose,
and low tones are not usual to Amerf-
can voices. Where topics are chosen with
| care conversation is harmless and emil
nently proper between acts and at inter
missions. Few keep within safe bounds,
