VALUABLE POINTERS FOR
BRIDES TRAINING SCHOOL
After ALL Eating and Drinking and Clean Hearth Do
Not Constitute the Whole of the Law and the
Prophets in MatrimOny
By DOROTHY DIX.

In various parts of the country training
schools for brides have been established
in which young women contemplating
matrimony can take a course in domes-
tic economy and cooking.
This is well, and will doubtless do
much to solve the divorce problem. for
view Of the angel he has married when
she sets him down to a dinner of leath-
cry steak and watery potatoes.
II II is true that tho way to a mans
heart is through his stomach, it is equal
ly true that the dyspepsia route is the
quickest way out of it, and any woman
who wishes to preserve her husband s
affection can find no surer way to do it
than by always keeping him physically
comfortable. After all man is a domestic
animal and he can be relied upon to
come home at feed time-if the feed is
good.
As matter of fact. 1t is as dishonor-
able and reprehensible for a woman to
marry and take upon herself the respon-
sibility Of making a home. unless she is
competent to do 1t. as it is for a man
to marry and take upon himself the re-
sponsibility Of a family unless he is able
to support the family.
II Is as much the wife's part to make
comfortable home as IL is the mans
part to supply the money for the home:
and the law should not permit either a
man to marry until he can show that
he has certain way OF making a living,
or a woman to marry until she can
prove that she is a good free hand cook.
Some Additional Advice.
But desirable as it is. necessary as il
is. that a bride should be a domestic ex-
pert. after all. eating and drinking and
clean hearth do not constitute the
whole Of the law and the prophets in
matrimony
There are other things, and after the
bride has graduated from the kinder
garten class in cookery, she should take
a course in. first:
DOmestic MeteoroIoRy.
This would teach her to read her hus-
bands moods as the weather man reads
his barometers, so that she would know
when it was safe sailing, and when she
had better reef her sails and hug the
shore. .-....
Thereby many a domestic storm would
be weathered: for no end of family spats
are the result Of a foolish and ignorant
wife making request or offering a sug-
gestion IN an unpropitious moment.
Hence it is Of the utmost importance that
a bride should be taught to read the
danger signals on her husbands brow. and
learn that after dinner, and not before
dinner. Is the time to present bills and
ask for new dresses.
Also. that when men comes home
1rom the office looking flabby and worn,
and as If he had been run over bv a
steam roller, that ha will rise In md

Editors Note: Mr.. Schmid concludes his
talks on birds and the care Of them
with note of warning. Tomorrow he
will talk of the aquarium, its care, and
management.
Nonpnrefls, Indigo Birds, Boboltnks.
Nonpareils, indigo birds and bobolinks
should be fed same as canaries, with the
exception of little millet seed added to
the regular canary seed, or a few hemp
seed may be added.
Supply every now and then little
green food, apples, lettuce. chickweed,
SC. In sickness, treat them same as
canaries. To our liking. outside Of a
mocking bird. the bobolink stands second
to no other American song bird. Prices
range from 81 to s. each. The American
law applies to these birds.
European BIackbirds and Thrushes.
European blackbirds and thrushes are
great cage favorites. Their song Is very
powerful and melodious. The blackbird
Is also great mimic. apt to learn to
whistle tunes to perfection. They require

call his wife blessed IL she won't talk To
MIN or russ over him, but leave him alone
in silence
She Should BE n Diplomat.
Then the bride should be given a train
Ing In diplomacy that would fit her to be
ambassador extraordinary and minister
pienlpotentiary at any court in Europe.
She should be taught to avoid all argu-
ments. as she would the bubonic plague.
and how skillfully to sidetrack those sub
1ects which are to her husband as a red
rag to a mad bull
she should be grounded in the language
OF hatteery and become an expert at
,, spreading the velvet and pushing the
salve.
Above all, it should be borne upon her
mind that a man does not marry to get
somebody to reform him and make him
over On the contrary, he takes upon
himself the expense OF a wife in order
to secure for himself an admiring audi
ence; and he feels sadly sold out when
he finds out that instead of a claque he
has gotten a critic on the hearth.
Then the bride should have a few les
sons in respect for personal liberty
ground into her. She should be taught
that the love of freedom is the first pas
sion of the human heart, and that any
wife interferes with her husbands abil-
ity to come and go as he pleases at her
peril.
Her attention should also be called to
the other fact that stolen waters are
sweet, and that even an old work horse
will jump over the bars out of the green
est pasture into an arid road IL you try
to pen him up; while, on the contrary, the
greatest discourager of roaming is the
open door, that. one may go and come
through as one will without question.

that the little bride should learn in ad-
vance that no man was ever yet OF so
melting a nature that he loved his jailer.
Smile at All Times.
Finally, the young woman who is con-
templating matrimony should be taught
how to smile the smile that won't come
of. even when things are going at skies
and sevens, just as the belerina is taught
to smile when enduring excruciating as
onies while twirling around on her toe.
The chiefest of all domestic virtues Is
cheerfulness. It is a charm to conjure
ups and downs OF matrimony with jolly
laugh. and who can meet any, situation
with philosophical good humor. has grap-
pied her husband to her with hooks OF
steel. and need never waste a jealous
thought upon beauties and sirens.
The business life of the average man
in this day of strenuous competition
leaves him at night exhausted in mind
and body, and with ragged and bleeding
nerves. 1t Is torture to go home to a
weeping or querulous or discontented or
morbid wife; but the woman who is cheer
full and gay, who radiates happiness and
sunshine rests and soothes and comforts
him, and puts fresh heart and courage
into him.

STRIPES PREVAIL IN
SPRING NECKWBAR
Demand for Tubular Ties
More Evident.

1t Is agreed by most authorities that
the honors in neckwear designs are d.
vided between several classes or kinds,
and that no one line can be said to pre-
dominate unless 1t is the broad subdivt-
sion which includes all striped patterns.
1t is quite evident that stripes prevail
but to say that cross stripes, diagonal
stripes. or up and down stripes predom-
mate would be erroneous.
Taking that class Of scarfs known as
cross stripes. and We find that this en-
braces many subdivisions, among them
the knit tie and the tubular With ref
erence to the latter. despite the persistent
rumor that the tubular was a dead one. -
at times It appears to be much. alive.
Just now the demand for tubular ties
becomes more and more evident Some
handsome stripe effects have been created
In this line.
They are noted for their wear, ana when
there Is combined practically two ties
In one. a plain color on one side ana q
stripe effect on the other. II appears that
the height Of perfection In wearing ouali-
ties had been produced. 80
For some time the high-priced knit
scarfs have been In demand in many
shops. For a while 1t seemed that the
cheaper forms Of this tie had disappear
ed from the market, and few Of them
are said to be sold now.
The Persians. which created quite Q fu-
rore in the neckwear trade Q couple of
seasons ago. are by many authorities con-
sidered out Of the running. and to- All
their place. we have with us the Ro-
man stripes. Ffom the generous assort-
ment of bordered end scarfs II would
seem that these will be much IN evidences
this coming spring.

OF the many styles Of Russian suit
there is surely none more handsome and
manly than the one illustrated herewith.
OF course, the suit has its little trous-
ers. without which no little man would
be satisfied. Over them there is the
blouse Or coat, which, in this case. is
plain and scant with the closing diagon-
ally in front, the edges of the opening
ornamented with handsome revers. which
are prolonged in the front from the wide
collar which trims the back. The sleeves
are gathered at the shoulder and tucked
at the wrist.
Pongee silk. pique, linen, poplin. serge.
and the like, will all make handsome
suits of this kind. and the collar and
revers may be detached and embroidered
by hand.
The pattern, 1906. is cut in sizes 2. 4.
and years Medium size requires yards
of 36-inch material.
The above pattern can be obtained by

Forty-threc recruits for the coast ar
tillery at San Diego left Denver from
Fort Logan Monday and twenty men
from Company A, hospital corps, will
start for San Antonio at the same time.
Both companies will be accompanied by
noncommssion..d officers.
Recruiting is brisk at Fort Logan,
many new men being received daily from
the fifteen or twenty recruiting depots
distributed throughout the West and
South.
A curious feature of the enIis tment
system is the expensive red tape which
brings recruits from as far south as
Fort Worth and San Antonio to Fort
Logan for enlistment. merely because
the latter is a regular enlistment station.
1t frequently has happened that men
have been discharged at these Texas
points, and desiring to re-enlst are sent

again taken on and the next day are
sent back to the point from which they
