THE WOMAN THAT IS D1sL1KED

Although all may not be honest enough to admit it, yet there seldoUl lived a person who did not desire to be we'll liked. Everyone would like to be popular, but not all are willing to make the necessary effort. Many are too lazy, selfish or indolent. There is not a person living who could not be popular if she but tried
 All of us are acquainted with some women who are generally disliked. Sometimes the reason is evident, some times it requires close analysis to reveal it. Perhaps we have some of the same faults but are not willing to admit it.
 Among these unpopular women is the inquisitive woman who has no real in terest in our lives, but is imbued with an overwhelming curiosity which com pels her to ask about the most inti- mate things. Nothing is too sacred for her idle curiosity. You never. pur- chase anything but what she asks you point blank, "Where did you get it? How much did you pay for it?''
 She does not hesitate to question you about your family relations. She asks point blank questions about any per sonal affairs, Nor can you evade

of .all girls he has gone with" is not young man who can be looked on as any kind of a permanency, even from the standpoint of friendship.
 That girl held herself at too low an estimate, not only to the young. man but to herself. A girl should have a very strong respect for herself; this is different thing from conceit. She should not be vain of her beauty or her money or her popularity; but she should be proud of her ideals The ideal of purity embraces much. It means purity of thought, the casting out of all that is mean or cruel, un- charitable or unrefned. And it should mean purity of deed. The girl must never do anything which she would be ashamed to have the noblest men or women in the world know about Maude Radford Warren in Woman s World for August.

THE VOICE OF THE
 ssFAN'' AND ITS EFFECT
 UPON BASEBALL PLAYERS

In the August American Magazine. Hugh S. Fullerton writes an amusing and entertaining article on the base ball fan" Following is an extract:
 ''It is a magnificent crowd, wonder ful in its spirit and in it's intense Icy atty There are few things that shake an opponent like the incessaEt: Get a hit,' Get a hit which is the war song of the Sox rooters when they scent victory.
 "One of the most dramatic displays of loyalty I ever saw was in 1907 when the team, beaten and displaced from the championship. came home to close the season They had gone away in high hopes and failed. It was Sum day, and as the defeated team march ed down the field seventeen thousand

ONE NONiN ID ANOTHER
Cousin Phebe Pleads for the Husbands He Has His Troubles-Makess
 Home a Haven of Peace

How few women give men credit for having nerves. When a husband comes home cross and snappy, instead of taking into consideration the fact that he. has had ca long trying day, with perhaps some financial problems to solveS%fat make or break him, they just makeN NmafteEsS worse by nagging, or a reoifaF<of their own worries and troubles in the management of the house.
 The man, all on edge, will naturally retort sharply. The wife will weep or talk back. The air grows thicker with dissension and recrimination, until the poor brute" slams on his hat, bangs the door, and goes, as he forcibly ex- presses it, where he can get little peace-''s-
 Then the woman, considering herself terribly abused, buries her head in some soft, capaciouS pillow, and hoWls until she hears his key in the door.
 Then if she is sensible she will be as nice as she can and the storm will blow over. Too often, however, no matter how contrite she feels while he is away, she will keep it up'- as soon as he gets within hearing dis tance: Thus many rift widens and widens, until it is too gaping ever to be brfdged.
 Now a very excellent plan is for the wife to keep all unpleasantness under cover until her husband has been fed Give him time to feel that home is a place of calm content, not of contin- ued uproars and sdissensien such as he has had to contend with all day.
 An even better plan would be for her to say nothing about the cooks impudence, the children's naughtinese or the grocer's short comings.
 If. however, she must tell him ol burst, let the confidence be postponed until his frame of mind is such thai the troubles will seem trivial and easily disposed of.
 4 mans nerves are just as delicate as a woman's. She needn't think she is the only one privileged to pose as a sufferer from the fashionable neuritis
 Tn fact when the stronger physical frame is besieged by the little demons called nerves the breakdown is apt 10 be more serious than when the sen- sitive, high-strung wife goes to pieces
 Let the home be the antidote for the strenuous, nerve racking daily exist ence of the average business man. To make it such the wife should endeavo1 to keep her troubles to herself as much as she can, Or dwell on them only when a good meal or a soothing cigar has put her husband in a receptive mood
 AboHes all, ,1Iet her bear in mind that ft is not permissible for both of them to have an attack of "nerves'. at the same time. SIS

 bloom with a very pretty effect.-New York Tribune.

Significance of Recent immigration

Prom the North American Review.
1t is not until the industrial or economic
effects Of immigration are considered
that the real significance of the recent
influx of southern and eastern Europeans
is made manifest The greater number of
immigrants obviously are attracted to this
country by demand for labor and the
majority come with the expectation Of i'm
proving their economic condition. Dur
ing the past forty years an extraordinary
expansion in manufacturing and mining
has been in progress in this country, as
q result of which the number of wage
earners industrial workers has more
than doubled, or has increased from two
10 more than five million persons. This
Industrial development has been made pos
sible by the availability of the immigrant
labor supply and its employment or use
in conjunction with improved machinery
and Industrial processes. AS a conse-
auence. there has obviously been a re-
markable increase in industrial output
and in the permanent wealth of the coun-
try. The main point, however, Is whether
the extensive employment Of southern
and the resultant increase in the national
wealth has been marked by a correspond
ing advancement in the wellbeing of our
wage-earning classes. or. in other words.
whether there has been no falling off in
compensation or deterioration OF condf-
tons under which the native American
has been accustomed to work. When the
effect of recent immigration from SOUTH
ern and eastern Europe is measured ac-
cording to this standard its real import

NO OYSTERS ARRIVING.
Storm in Chesapeake Bay Also Pre-
vents Fishermen WORKING

According to reports brought here by
incoming steamers, the easterly storm
that has been raging on Chesapeake bay
and the Potomac for the past two days
was Of unusual severity and has forced
all small craft to seek harbor. AS a
consequence there have been no arrivals
Of oyster-laden craft, several of which
were looked for yesterday
The storm has also affected the fishing
industry by preventing the fishermen
from working their nets. The receipts of
fish from all sources have been light
since early in the week. At Cape Henry
the gale was from the southwest and
Tuesday it blew nearly thirty miles an
hour, causing a heavy sea. Vessels that
were in harbor stayed there and those
at sea sought harbor.
