THE HENRY DIVORCE MILL

Few if any more nauseating divorce cases has ever
been pulled off in King county than the Henry vs.
Henry that has been on trial for the past ten
days
Mrs. Henry aften having been accused OF desert
ing her husband and clipping with a suit of clothes,
voluntarily returned to Seattle and instituted divorce
proceedings and asked for alimony She did this, SO
goes the story, to protect her good name character
and reputation. II, after going through the divorce
mill admitting for sake Of argument that all OF Mr.
Henry's witnesses fat-footedy lied on the witness
stand Mrs Henry thinks she has demonstrated to the
public that she had such thing as character, we
fail to see by what course of reasoning she reaches
the conclusion.
A critical public will forgive an absolute fallen
woman thousand times more readily than it will an
indscreet woman with an indugant husband and IN
nocent children The married Womnn who makes
practice of going out with another man. even though
her husband is of it, shows an indscreton that
will sooner or later her neghbors and acquant-
ances to brand her in their minds as woman That
does not live up to her marriage vows.
We believe the average man would many times
over prefer to take as his wife fallen woman from
resort to a woman who poses respectable and yet
seeks bv stealth. the associations of other who
will lavish the money upon her because she is untath-
full to her husband
Better had Mrs Henry borne her disgrace in silence
than to try to vndcate herself for the verdict of the
general public from the newspaper accounts OF the
trial is she has made most miserable mudde OF 1t.

Appreciation of Value

Blame seldom ever fails to reach its goal It is the exception when any one escapes from the penalty of wrong, an unkind or blundering act.
 Justice is dealt out to the offender. sometimes in the guise of friendliness. but, nevertheless, we know we are blamed and often others are told of the fact
 It may be grim sense of justice, which actuates the giver of the blame, bu. often 1t looks suspiciously like satisfaction
 Now if it Is a sense of justice Una: i'm pels a search for the cause of something harmful it would be we'll to let the same motive lead us to the search for tn. causes of good and pleasant things with the motive of bestowing merited praise
 It is strange thing that this is not general. When things are we'll with us

My Song O Dreams

Cold wind bold wind,
 Out of the frozen north: Blow me power to do and dare, Strength and wisdom and might to spare. And then go back to your ice-bound
 streams. But leave-ah. leave me all my dreams! Keen wind. lean wind,
 Out of the biting east, Blow me knowledge of the things that
 are, From fallen man to fallen star, Good and evil; and go ye then, But leave-my faith in my fellow mel! Warm wind storm wind
 Out of the sunny south; Blow me love. With your subtle art Teach me the lesson of the heart. Teach me the rapture of the rose Leave me white as the drifting snows. Mild wind, wild wind,
 Out of the golden west; Blow me all that the world can give; Work and wisdom and power to live. Try my soul with the christening rod But leave-ah, leave my faith in God.

The Girl That Is Ready

l Keeping ones clothes and small belong
 lngs in order in systematic way is al-
 ways worth while and a great saving of
 trouble, but especially is this true when
 starting off for visit an automobile
 tour There are many times when girl
 may actually miss the pleasure of sucn
 a trip merely because she has not every
 thing ready when a sudden invitation
 comes with a short allowance of time for
 preparation.
 | It is not the gowns that usually make
 this trouble; it is far more apt to be the little accessories that are not ready or are not clean.
 | The wise girl will think this all out be- forehand and see that she has the right collars bows and bolts for each shirt waist, guimpe that is clean and in or der for each dress that needs one Then there are gloves, handkerchiefs, shoes slippers, stockings and all the little things one is constantly using. The we'll dresse q girl wants them all to correspond with the gown she uses them with, and yet so often she will find at the last moment that she has not the right one and, even if she is not obliged to miss the .rip, is not at all satisfied with her own appear ance.
 hHOtneT way III WHICH one can SiiNc much time on one of these trips is by using the same kind of forethought in packing ones suit case trunk. Ere quently when visiting a girl win have to dress hurriedly. She may get in from a motor' ride only a little before dinner time or want to rush off soon after lunch con for sail or a game of tennis. If she has to hunt for the right thing she will probably be late and she will surety lose her temper. To avoid this bother pin the gumpes to the gowns and for each shirt waist have a collar and bow or stock pinned to it by the fancy Din that IS to be used for the collar and a belt also with it, With each pair of shoes or slippers roll up separately the stockings that belong to them and put one stocking in the toe of each shoe. This is not only a great convenience, but it also helms to keep the shoe tand especially thin slippers, lin shape while packed.

Health in Summer

Tn the Woman's Home Companion Dr. Jean Williams, writing on How to Keep Well in Summer" says in part:
 Tn general, to tighten the digestive bur den during the summer months, eat spar ingly especially of the heat-producing foods. Add green vegetables and fresh ripe fruits generously to the diet. Avoid
 underripe, overripe or partially decayed fruits as you would poison, for that is exactly what they are. Strawberries and other small-seeded fruits disagree with many people, In such case use oiiiy the juice of the fruit.
 Ice water so commonly and copiously consumed, is very bad for the stomach, and sometimes very dangerous. Acute indigestion is often caused by drinking it. As for the ever-present soda fountain. though not all is evil that flows from it's faucets, there are few persons whose health will not suffer from indulgence in the heavily sweetened, over-fiavored, ice creamnut chocolate mixtures that are sold so much more commonly than the whole- some grape juice, apple juice. lemonade. zoolack, matzoon or buttermills. The last named three not only serve as agreeable, refreshing beverages, but are most valu- able foods as well.
 Finally, let me urge every one to cul- tivate the holiday spirit. If you cant have a long vacation. take a short one. If you can't leave your work at all, man. age to make your work conform in some manner to summer standards. Picnic as much as you can, if you enjoy it. Eat out of doors, if you can do so in comparative privacy. In these respects home keeping women are much more fortunate than their brothers and sisters. husbands and fathers out in the business world because much of their work can be taken out of stuffy rooms into the air. Fortunately we are all rapidly learning how much of factor in preserving health this outdoor life may be, and how much it will help us to make our summer not only health ful but happy.

Ten Commandments for American Husbands
BY DOROTHY DIX.

Germany has taken over with enthusi- asm the idea initiated by the Italian Mar riage Gazette, Gazette degl Spozi, which gives rules for a happy married life, and there is now published a German edition of the. Ten Commandments for Husbands.
 It should be explained that these ten commandments are intended and taken se- riously by both the Germans and Italians, and are by no means joke. | The problems of each nationality are, Ito a degree, different in matriptony as well as politics, so I beg to suggest the Following ten commandments for Aneri- can husbands:
 FOR AMERICAN HUSBANDS. | Pick out a wife with as much care as you do a horse. Investigate her pedigree, and find out If she is kind, gentle, tracta-
 ble, good tempered, willing to work in double harness without any shyinG or lboltng.
 ?. Don't marry until you are ready tn settle down. As long as you want to trail with the boys keep single. | 5. Don't marry until you are able to SUD- port wife. It takes money to nourish love at the present price of beefsteaks. 1. Don't shoo away the stork from your house. Every married couple to be happy l must nave common interest, ana there | is no such common interest as a baby. | 5. Don't boss or be bossed. The ideal marriage is not an autocracy, but part nershp.
 1 6. Settle the financial question the day you are married. Make your wife a fair allowance and compel her to keep with in it.
 | :. Give as much time and thought tc your wife as you do to business, and show as much real heart interest in her as you do in the stock market | S. Make it a rule to tell your wife al least once a day that you are as much 1T | love with her as you were when yol courted her. and that she. gets better look ing every year of her life. | g. See that your wife has plenty of wori to do, mixed in with plenty of fun. It is only the idle and neglected women wht have affinities.
 | 10. Never let your mother or your wife's mother live in your house. An in-law t the hamburger of domestic strife and fht | first aid to divorce.

Worth Knowing

It Is well to open and turn out canned vegetables at least two or three hours oe- fore using. If peas, drain and rinse well in cold water and then let them stand covered with cold water for an hour or SO.

ing up things for her husband and chil. dren.
 You might talk to me until you ,rf black in the face trying to convince me that the mother owes everything to hus. pand and child-that she should make sac. rinces every day for them; that. she should do without clothes so that the girls might | have more; that she should do the work so that servants hire could be saved. | No, indeed. That to my mind is a mis- | taken idea.
 THE MOTHER OF THE FAMILY OUGHT TO BE THE QUEEN OF THE | FAMILY.

 other day that she was just back from a house party.
 I looked at her in opened-eyed astonish- ment.
 At her age and house party | Yes" she said suavely, 'every year six of us-our ages ranging between 65 and 70 years-go down to a house party given by Lydia Hooker, at her country place In south Alabama. We are the only ones left now of 12 bridesmaids When Lydia was married we all promised that every year we would have a reunion and we havs kept our word'

Tor with the world of affairs we are per- fectly content with the condition and do not seek the cause.
 It is not to be supposed that good work or kind deeds are done for the sake of praise or gratitude, yet if we are honest
 we will admit that a just and merited recognition is a satisfaction, perhaps all the greater satisfaction, in that 1t is rare occurrence. Things well and syste,n- atically done in a house create no com- ment. Let one little thing go wrong, how ever, and how quickly it is seen and crit- icized
 So this matter of bestowing praise has
 two sides. It is not only cause of sat-
 isfaction to the recipient; it helps, too,
 to keep things right; it oils the wheels of the machinery, whether domestic or com mercial or social
