MISTAKE OF BRIDES
ARE APT TO Become DISAGREE
ABLE AFTER MARRIAGE.
Change Of Temper May Be the Result
of Many Causes, but Always
It Is Greatly to Be
D~epiored.

why is it that girls who are consid-
cred sweet-tempered and agreeable
before marriage often develop into
arbitrary and self-assertive brides?'
This question was asked by a mother
in-law. and is worthy of comment.
1t may be urged that this girl be-
fore marriage set a watch upon her
lips and tried to be agreeable. The
unmarried girl has SO much more to
gain by pleasant personal qualities
than a married woman has, for unless
girls make themselves pleasant and
obliging they are apt to be left out
when parties are being arranged and
to be abandoned to their solitary fate
by those who would be their allies.
Since girls are not expected to re-
turn as much hospitality as they re-
ceive. they must of necessity depend
upon their personal qualities for In
vitations. On the other hand, a mar
ried woman who gives parties gets
asked in return, whether she is agree
able or not.
Again, the bride is apt to foster an
exaggerated idea of her own import
ance as the chatelaine of her house.
Before marriage she had to get her
mothers consent to most of her pro-
ceedings-to the invitations she ac-
cepted and the friends she asked to
the house.
The sudden freedom from restraint
and the indulgence of a husband are
apt to spoil her character and make
her disagreeable to her relatives, es-
pecially to those on his side of the
house, and immensely p%atronizing to
her old friends, particularly those
who have Observation-Disclosures.
Another reason why some girls
'tempers are spoiled by marriage lies
In the trials and annoyances to which
a girl with a number of relations is
subjected. 1t is hard to please crit
ical persons, and relatives seem par
ticularly addicted to criticism of a

VEIL CASE FOR A QUARTET

Follow the Directions Here
Given.

A veil case for a quarter! 1t sounds
impossible, doesn't it? But this is
how it is done:
Get half a yard of colored and hall
a yard OF cream mercerized fabric OF
some sort, a spool of thread to match
the colored material, a ball of cream,
colored crochet yarn and a quarter OF
a yard of cotton wadding and half a
dozen small buttons.
Cut two pieces Of the colored goods,
each ska inches; on one piece en-
broider the word Wells" with the Gro
Chef yarn. Around the other piece
plat a frill one inch wide and join
it down one long side to the embroid.
cred part.
Now cut the cream-colored fabric
16x14 inches, lay the wadding on the
wrong side and stitch in two direc-
tions, to give the effect of quilting,
with the colored material all around
and fold across the middle.
For the rollers take a piece of stiff
paper or thin cardboard 13 inches
long by one wide and cover it with
stitched material. Work a loop at
each end with yarn to button the
case; cover the buttons with the col
ored goods and sew on three at each
end two inches apart.

PAINFUL FINGER NAILS CURED

"I have suffered from the same trou-
BILE painful finger nails) at different
periods of my life. The frat time Of
it's occurrence. perhaps twenty-five
years ago, after trying home remedies
without getting helped, / asked my
doctor to prescribe for me, but it was
not for a year or more that my nails
and fingers were well. The inflamma-
ton and suppuration began at the
base of the finger nail. Sometimes it
was so painful that I had to use a
poultice to induce s%uppuration. After
the pus was discharged the swelling
would go down until the next period
of Inflammation, possibly not more
than a week or two afterwards. These
frequent infiammations resulted in the
loss of the nail. I had sometimes as
many as three fingers in this state at
one time.
Perhaps ten years later I began
again to suffer from the same trouble.
Again l tried various remedies, among
them a prescription from a doctor Of
a friend of mine, who had suffered

this was so irritating to the sensitive,

1 began to use Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. I had used the Cuticura
Ointment previously on my children's
scalps with good effect. I did not use
the Soap exclusively, but / rubbed the
Cuticura Ointment into the base OF
the nail every night thoroughly, and
as often beside as 1 could. ! had not
used it but a few weeks before my
nails were better, and in a short time
they were apparently well. There

PRUNING and Tree Surgery.

Systematic pruning and tree sur
gerry are very closely related. Tree
surgery includes the intelligent protec-
ton of all mechanical injuries and
cavities. Pruning requires a previous
intimate knowledge of the habits Of
growth of trees; surgery, on the other
hand, requires, in addition, a knowl-
edge Of the best methods for making
cavities alright and preventing decay.
The caring for cavities in trees must
be urged as the only means of pre-
serving affected specimens. and the
preservation of many noble specimens
has been at least temporarily assured
through the efforts of those practicing
this kind of work.

Judge H. V. Fletcher, of this city.
For many years Judge J.. M. Dick
inson, a native of Mississippi, was
at the head of the legal department
of that big system, until President
Taft, recognizing his ability and fit
ness for the place, offered him the
position of secretary of war in his
cabinet. His acceptance OF the honor
left the position of general counsel
in the Illinois Central offices vacant,
and another Mississippian, Blewett
Lee, son of the lamented Gen. S. D.
Lee, and who had been Mr.. Dickin-
sons assistant, continued at the head
of the legal department of the big
railroad system, and Hon. Clarence
Sivley of oxford was selected by the
company to share the honors with
him. The position of general coun-
sci still remains open, but these two
gentlemen have been performing the
duties of the position ever since the
retirement of Mr.. Dickinson, holding
the rank of assistant general counsel.
Judge Fletcher will now assume the
