Attention, Husbands.

Attention, Husbands.
Here are q few rules. clipped from
q paper years ago. for the use OF the
husband who would learn how to keep
his wife:
Deserve her perfect confidence.
Never do anything which will make
you appear mean in her eyes.
Let her tell you her grievances. and
tell her your worries; you may be able
to help each other. and you can surely
comfort each other.
Try to be as thoughtful Of your
wife's comfort as you were when you
drst tried to win her heart; she needs
your thoughtfulness more now.
Don't forget all the little courtesies
you used to show her and which made
you appear SO well in her eyes: II
there were aught to endear her to you
before marriage she should be a thou
sand times dearer to you now.
Help her with the children some
times at night. when they are fretful
and you have no hired help. Suppos-
ing You do put in the plea that you
are tired and that you have been
working all day, hasn't she been work
ing all day, too. and isn't she tiredr'

Poetaae stamp Lors.

VVOSA0O SS0uNP 1OVOs
If one writes letter on business OF
an individual nature a stamp should
be Enclosed for the correspondents
reply. This rule 10 invariable. In
writing to business house where
ones relations are constant one may
not need to take this special care. For
example, in sending an order for goods
to shop one need not inclose post
age stamp. In writing letter request
ing Information the case IL different,
and stamp should be sent with the
letter. In other words. one should
never cause expense, even in the small
amount of 2 cents. to some one who
is outside ones affairs. The bill for
postage stamps where ones CORE
spondence is large soon mounts to the
region Of dollars and gets itself quite
beyond the province Of tribes.

BRAINS ARE BUSY
GETTING TOGETHER
Plans for Retail Merchants
Dinner Well Advanced.

The brains Of the wits" in the Re-
overtime devising novel means OF enter
tainment for the "get-together" dinner
of the association in 1.-The New Ebbltt
House, November s. Roe Fulkerson, who
is to be POSTMASTER; President Joseph
Strasburger, Ross P. Andrews, chairman.
and Isaac Cans, vice chairman OF the
banquet committee, have determined
to make this feature OF the evening a
success. 1t is known that a number OF
surprises are in store for the guests, and
the most important parts of this feature
of the programme will not be announced
in advance.
Several names of new speakers for the
evening were announced last night by
President Strasburger. The list to date
includes Cuno II. Rudolph, president OF
the Board Of Commissioners: James F.
Oyster president OF the Chamber OF
Commerce; Mayor F. J. Pfaff, OF Alex
andria: S. ". Woodward, OF Woodward
& Lothrop; Arthur c. Moses, Of w. B.
Moses & Sons; NJ. Umstadter. the first
president Of the Norfolk Retail Mer-
chants Association, and r. Z. Knight,
president OF the Alexandria Retail Mer-
chants Association.
Political speeches will be taboo"
The subjects to be followed by the speak
ers have not been announced, but all
will be along lines touching on the in
dustrial and commercial progress and
possibilities Of Washington and in har-
mony with the "get-together' purpose Of
the banquet President Strasburger is
particularly desirouS that retail mer-
chants OF Washington shall understand
that all are vel rome to attend. whether
affiliated with the Retail Merchants AS
soCiatiOn or not.
Mr. Andrews has carried into effect his
own suggestion for increasing the num-
ber of subscribers to the affair. His
establishment contains both retail and
wholesale departments, and the latter
part counts among It's customers several
hundred retailers OF Washington, who
although not necessarily members Of the
association. are eligible for participation
in the festivities OF the ''Get-together'
evening Mr. Andrews has made 1t a
point to get in touch through the mails
with all OF his retail customers urging
them to attend the dinner and learn
something OF the public-spirited move
ment and ideas as a result OF which the
Retail Merchants Association was organ
ized. A number of members OF the as
soCiaton have followed Mr.. Andrews
suggestion and the result is anticipated
in a far larger attendance than was at
first expected.
The banquet committee OF the associ-
alton, of which George Gall is secretary.
has not given out any figures showing
the number of acceptances received TO
date, but II is generally understood that
even with the affair nearly two weeks
off. a large number Of prospective diners
have sent in their subscriptions for reser-
vatons.

ENTRIES SCORE
HIGH IN TOUR CONTEST
Not Too Late to Enter the Contest for the Tours
Around the World and to Europe, and
for the Cash PrizeS

The fine weather of the past few days
has enabled many of the round the
world and European tour contestants to
get about with greater facility, and great
number of votes has been secured by
them. The spirit Of hopefulness is in
The air, and all are cheerful and conf
dent Of winning one of the extraordinary
tours offered by The Herald. The first
note of encouragement has yet to be
heard, and the reason is obvious. The
contestants are meeting with success and
are being received even by those who do
not give them votes with extreme cour-
tesy and consideration. One Of them
yesterday had the pleasant experience Of
calling on nine gentlemen and securing
votes and subscriptions from seven, five
of whom requested her TO call again in
the event she thought she needed more
votes. Among those who did excellently
yesterday was a young lady who has
but recently entered the contest. Among
our out-of-town contestants several who
have Just entered have made excellent
records, and their votes piled high during
the day.

POINT IS DECIDED
IN TRANSFER FIGHT
Court Determines Question
of Jurisdiction.

Justice Wright yesterday granted per
mission TO file an amended petition in the
suit of the receiver OF the Baltimore ana
Washington Transit Company against
the Capital Traction Company to compel
the issuance of transfers at Fourteenth
and Kennedy streets northwest. the OBJ
tect being to give the court Jurisdiction
in the issue.
1t was represented to Justice Wright
that the United States Supreme Court
had given jurisdiction in the case Of the
Chicago Street Railway against Blair,
Where certain pleadings were made. The
amended bill sets forth that the property.
franchises, and charters OF the plaintiff
corporation are entirely dependent for
their value upon the fight Of the COM
pany to make reciprocal transfer ar
rangements with the Capital Traction
Company. 1t is also contended that the
plaintiff company will be subjected to a
multiplicity of lawsuits from passengers
who pay cents with the expectation of
riding free ovd the lines Of the Capital
Traction Company by means Of a trans
fer.
