Nine. Maeterilnck Sets Out Ton Rules
for the Guidance Of Her Mar
rled Sisters.

Apropos of her first visit to America
the following philosophical decalogue
is of special interest as revealing the
attitude taken by Nine. Georgette
Lablance Maeterlinck, wife of the Bel
CLAN Shakespeare, toward the wifely
duties OF women:
1. Remember always that the true
wife is the inseparable half of the
only complete human unit, in which
two small and imperfect individuals
ties have become merged into large
and perfect one.
2. Each half OF the welded whole
retains special functions; yours are
to discern. to anticipate, to yield. to
cheer. to soothe-and thus to
strengthen.
8. Never trust to hireIings the es
sentials of your husbands physical
well being; understand and frequent
ly practice the art OF selecting and
preparing his food
4. Be sure each day that his gar
ments are whole. clean and suited tc
the season,
S. Constitute yourself on infallible
barometer whereby to forecast and
render harmless those electrical dis
turbances peculiar to the married
state.
Q. Be to your husbands dark moods
the subtle, unsupported antidote; tc
his joyous mood the companion spirit
of Joy.
z. Save your caresses until you per
ceive that his dinner has been with
out flaw; kisses to a hungry mar
are like froth to a parched tongue.
s. Your tongue for assent; for argu
ment use only your eyes.
o. When your husband has an at
tack of govt, depreciate the arr o;
dancing.
TO- II you would convince your hus
band that you are a better actress
than Bernhardt, better dancer thar
Paylowa. prove to him that you are
better cook than M. Escoffier.

surface craft the submarine would
DO sent to the bottom like the loaded
perforated uncorked bottle. This is
lust what happened the other day tc
the A3. This brief outline Of the gen
eral principle upon which an under
water boat is made ready to submerge
and is controlled below the surface
makes 1t easy to understand some OF
the accidents that have happened tc
submarines.
The American navy has been fortu
nate SO far In its experience with
submarine boats, although there has
been more than one narrow escape
from disaster. The most thrilling oil
these was the case of the Porpoise
which went to the bottom in 100 feet
OF water on Newport in August. 1904
Structurally she was not designed
for sumbergence of this character
and her ballast tanks, some of her pip
ing and other parts of the boat leak
ed. For nearly three-quarters OF an
hour her crew struggled with the
hand pump. and finally obtained a
buoyancy of something like 100
pounds, which lifted the bow. At
once the electric motor was started
and the boat driven to the surface.
That accident made naval officers eau
tons, and for several years afterward
American submarines were somewhat
coddled. Today American under wa
ter craft are vastly improved and they
are being exercised with much auc
cess.
From the very beginning service in
submarines has been voluntary. No
man is ordered to duty aboard one
of them unless he asks for such de.
tail. and in this manner alone is the
service recruited

man said was sacrifice. She put the

but a rather diversified rat that had
