IN cUPlD's REALM.
DOES THE DOMESTIC LIFE HAMPER?

What a handicap to intelligent
thought and action, the average mar
riage relationship is" writes a cor
respondent. 81 am beginning to
agree with Shaw that marriage ought
to be abolished"
This conclusion is reached by my
correspondent because her brother, Z
man much interested in the natural
sciences, when with her and inter-
ested friends discourses by the hour
on biology and kindred subjects in a
most entertaining and inspiring fash
ion. He wakes up all over and is 4
different man from the one of his
own household. For when with his
wife and family he seldom mentions
these matters, since no one is inter-
ested in them. He is, as the writer
says, Just a domesticated animal,
like most middle-class married males.
Away from his family, he is a more
interesting, more worthwhile man.
So she concluded, domesticity is 4
handicap, and marriage is holding
down many a genius into a humdrum
commonplace existence.
Perhaps this is true. Those who
have read Wells Love and Mr.. Lew
isham," may recall Mr.. Lewisham's
wonderful Schema" written when q
student, by which he was going 10
revolutionize the universe and make
everything straight and as it ought
to be, by his genius; and how, at the
end of a year of married ltife, he tore
his Schema into bits and threw it
into the waste-paper basket, and
went to grubbing to support his wife,
a baby and a mother-in-law. He
never spent hours discoursing to mis-
wife upon the sciences he had given
years to master, because in the first
place his wife wouldn't have under
stood him, for she had never studied
science, and in the second place he
spent his days chasing over London
trying to find work, and at night he
was too dog-tired to talk. Domestic
ity had clipped his wings. Yet he felt
that having a son was more worth
while than having a career.
Which is the saner conclusion? is

And for this simple reason many a
plain girl is well married while her

1t is a fact that beautiful girls sci.
dom make satisfactory wives. All
their training is against it. They
bring into the contract, which more
than any other needs the oil Of give
and take, an eXacting nature which has
been cultivated from nursery days.
It is not an eXaggeration to say that
most beautiful women think that
mans principal object in life Shout
be to make money for them to spend
And most men who have beautiful
wives seem to make this their main
endeavor. But let them struggle ever
SO earnestly to accomplish this OBJ.
Ject they will find that a beautiful
woman can always spend more than
they can earn. For beautiful women
are spendthrifts by nature. and hav-
ing had every within gratihed from
childhood, they know nothing of seTs-

y y n Woman's World y u II
Is Beauty Successful?

Asked what she desires most IN
life, the truthful girl invariably an
swers, beauty. It is considered the
hest dover a woman can have. But
is it really the best? DO the beautiful
women have the' happiest lives? For
that, after all, is the true test.
Looked at from this standpoint, one
is astonished to see how often beauty
fails to win out Investigate the sub
iect and you will find good reasons
for its frequent failure.
To begin with, the girl who poa.
sesses beauty must possess also
strong character or her head will be
turned early. From babyhood she is
fawned upon and hattered her every
whim is INDUCED by those who sur
round her; her beauty makes slaves Of
all who come within her circle.
She is led to believe that she must
be considered first in everything.
From the nursery to the schoolroom
and from the schoolroom to society
her path is one of royal progress. Is it
any wonder that her viewpoint of lite
is warped, that an idea of her own i'm
portance is exaggerated out of all pro-
portion to the truth; that her nature
inevitably becomes self-centered ana
exacting? A nature of this sort,
clothed even in the most perfect
beauty, pals after a short intimacy
and seldom commands lasting de.
votion.
1t Is strange, but a man rarely gets
satisfaction out of a friendship with
a beautiful woman. Unless one is
prepared to be constantly on the
knees one cannot hope to hold her
interest, for beauty is exacting and
in its thirst for fattery.
Let it stop for a moment it's liquid
flow and beauty's attention wanders.
And here is where the plain girl
scores. If she has not beauty to de-
pend upon she soon learns to cult
vate other charms. Unaccustomed to
being considered first in everything,
her interest in others is genuine. she

Sentimentally. we may think its

woman as they say this, think back
a bit regretfully to their youthful
ambitions. They sigh bit as they
recall certain cherished projects now
thrown overheard to marry, and of
how different their life is from what
they had planned. Sometimes. they
think little bitterly that II would
be some compensation if they could
discuss these ambitions in their
home, and find intelligent sympathy.
But as in the case OF my correspond
ent's brother, those of the family
circle do not appreciate these attain

appreciation, they must seek it out

ARRANGING DINING TABLE.

There are fashions in table decora.
tions as in everything else; just now
grouped vases are in favor. While
these were introduced last season.
there are interesting changes.
Instead of the smaller vases for the
corners of the table connected with
the large central one by long chains,
it is newer to have the set more
closely grouped, so as to stand on the
.centerpiece or glass plaque.
One handsome set has a tall central
vase of cut silver with four small
matching vases joined to it by curved
.openwork guards.
Another new set has a larger glass
basket overlaid with silver with four
small baskets held to the central one
Icy short silver links fastened to the
handles.
For cheaper effects two sizes of
wicker baskets can be gilded and
Joined by raphia rings, also gilded.
Watch sales, and get four small
vases to match and a larger one in
the same design. In this way a styl-
igh table decoration can be had at
small cost. If you want the vases
linked, fine nickled chains can be
bought and Joined to the standards of
the vases, but they are not especially
new and the floral effect is equally
good without them. The linked glass
chains are more artistic with glass
vases than the china ones, or pretty
effects can be had with chains of crys-
tai bcads.
These combination flower holders
are charming for summer cottages in
white Dresden or bellique. They come
in novel shapes, many of them CON
nected by a low fance-like arrange
ment in the same ware One in
Greek design had all the bases shaped
like a Doric column, with the tops hol-
lowed to hold flowers.
Very new and artistic, with CORE
spending cost, is an oval floral ar
rangement for the center of the table
II has a mirror about three-quarters
of a yard long, bordered with a mar
row silver rim. This holds in the
center a low oval vase of rock cry3-
tai, supplied with a wire netting for
keeping the flowers erect.
At each end of the mirror are semi
circular sections to hold short
stemmed flowers, with a tall, slender
vase to. cap each section AT the
sides, filling in the intervening space,
are two other low sections rectgngu-
lar in shape. Wonderful floral com
binations can be arranged in these
