How to Treat a Husband

introducing an atmosphere which will keep
the interest centered at home. The ex-
perience of having house all my own to
do with as pleased was so novel and car
ried with 1t such weight of responsibility
that / couldn't bear to leave 1t, even to
go to the theater.
THE habit of staying at home grew upon
me until going down town to buy a new
gown became a burden. And as for social
affairs, l never attended them. One day
Bob insisted that accept an invitation to
dinner with some friends. l shall never for

lost was TO the conversation. sat there
in dazed silence while they discussed the
newest books, the latest play and half
dozen topics of the hour. The rest OF the
women seemed TO know all about them as
much or more than their husbands. And
noticed Bobs eyes flash with admiration
at the brilliant sallies of one woman who
seemed to have the situations thoroughly
in hand.
THE next day I went down TO the book
shop bought a half dozen magazines, hunted
up the papers as far back as l could and
sat down to burnish up my stock OF infor-
nation. There wasn't any pie for dinner
that night, but when l asked Bob II he
thought the article In a current magazine
about transportation aeroplanes was pTaeti-
cal-Bob adores aeroplanes and reads
everything published about them-he looked
stunned and settled down to a half hour
OF the best real conversation we had en-
joyed in weeks,
There are no candles to mould today,
no wool TO spin, no soap TO make, but the
man who pines for old days Is pretty sure

colors make their appearance among tn
street dresses for town wear but the
popularity OF the dark gown so much
in evidence during the last winter has held
over and is likely to remain feature of
the fashions for some time to come 1t is
so essentially a practical fashion to don
dark and inconspicuous colors for prac-
teal wear, and to reserve the pale, perish
able tones for house and evening use, and.
of course, for warm weather out OF town.
Even frocks of palest tones, however, carry
out the desire for sharp contrast; in fact
often depend upon the foreign note to give
character to the costume.
On gown of shell-pnk wolfe, a girdie
of four-inch wide Natter blue betting was
singularly attractive, while a belt of
sapphire blue on a gown OF salmon pink
is not infrequently seen. Cerise In COM
binatlon with violet and purple has long
been a favorite combination of curiously
foreign shades. Apricot with dark blue.
and again the favorite shade Of the sea-

most artistic effect with any number of

horror by the woman OF conservative taste.
who always insisted upon matching the
straw of her bonnet to the exact tone OF
white at the throat as more than enough
contrast to gown OF dun gray or mole

The hat is still depended upon to give
character to most gowns, and this year

 By President At

Meriden. Oct. 18-"Thank God pr. Wiley still stands between us and men and corporations so bent on .mak- ing money that they are willing to imperil the lives of the other human beings said Mrs. Caroline Buell. of East Hampton, president of the Wom- ans Christian Temperance Union, in her report to the annual convention, today "All rejoice that Dr. Wiley has been retained in office. The peo- pie will be heard and their voice sometimes does seem to be the voice of God.''
 Roundly condemning Secretary. Will sons alliance with the liquor inter ests, Mrs. Buell. said, ''We protest against Secretary of Agriculture Will son allowing himself to be elected honorary president of the Brewers Congress. To be sure, he wrote us that agricultural matters would come up before the Congress. Did he need to be an officer that he might discuss these matters?
 Should not the Christian churches speak in most unmistakable terms against the participation of their gov ernment in the nefarious liquor traf- fife? When they do no cabinet officer ever again will dare commit himself to any scheme to further the liquor traffic which has always been and now is the curse of the people who toler- ate it.''
 The speaker denounced local option as a "makeshift." The least said of the last Connecticut General Assem- bly, the better, she said in effect.

HE STAYED ON THE FARM.

MT. James B. Weaver, IT,, in The Worlds Work for November very en- Enthusiastically describes the present in- creasing prosperity of agricultural con- ditions of Iowa. The reason for it is, he says, that the farmers aren't afraid to do new things in new ways.
 For instance, this is what happened to a farmer who had always been satisfied with good enough His son, after a half days attempt at blowing corn in the muck upon the margin of a ten-acre pond situated in the centre of forty-acre field, came to the table one noon hour with the startling announcement: Father, that pond will be tiled or I quit the farm either the slough goes or I go-take your choice" And the pond went. To-day that boy riding his gang blow, descends into the old pond basin that three years ago was the habitat of the musk rat, with the very satisfying consciousness that from its virgin soil, the product of untold centuries of ac- emulation of vegetable mould shall come for each acre eighty to one hun dred bushels of corn.
