ECIL JONES was nice. quiet
little man. His wife had rath-
~ er better judgment than he.
Consequently he fell into a hab-
it of deferring to her constantly-that
is, in certain matters. He thus ac-
quired the reputation among MS
friends of being henpecked. One or
these friends took it upon himself to
inform Jones that Mrs. Jones was con-
sidered the head Of the house. The
information sank deep into Jones
heart He believed his informant. and
his pride was wounded. What should
he do-live on under such Obloquy or
make a strike for the upper hand? He
resolved on the latter course. Once re-
solved, he only waited for an opportu-
nifty.
1t came one day in an invitation to
Mrs. Cruikshank's fancy dress ball.
Mrs. Jones wished to accept, where
upon Mr.. Jones said decidedly, I'VE
will not attend this ball."
"Why not, dear?'
sit isn't necessary for husband to
always be giving reasons to his wife"
But. if you don't want to go, why
shouldn't l go anyway
IF you do it will be against my ex-
press desire and commands"
well, DEAR" replied Mrs. Jones. Il
have a special reason for wishing to
go; but, as you won't give me yours,
per contra I'll not give you mine. How
ever, the peace of this family is of
more Importance than a dozen balls.
Therefore we will say nothing more
about the matter
A few days after this conversation,
as Jones was going out of the house
one morning. he met a boy bringing in
a bundle from fancy dress establish
ment. Jones opened it in the vestibule
and saw that it was a red velvet robe
with an ermine mantle. There was
also a pasteboard crown with four big
green glass stones in it. Jones babe
the boy ring the bell and proceeded TO
his office.
Well, the tug of war had come. His
wife intended to defy his wishes. He
laid a deep, dark, diabolical scheme
He would say nothing to her about his
discovery He would give her every
opportunity to go to the ball without
even doing SO by stealth. On the even
ing in question he would give notice
that he intended to dine downtown
He would hire costume and go to the
ball There he would find the robes he
nadeinspected worn by his wife. He
would get up a Irritation with her and
Dy hook or by crook get her into his
carriage, drive her home and there give
her dressing" that would forever
after show that he was master.
When the time arrived Mrs. Jones
showed unquestioned approval of his
dining downtown. He also told hel
| not to look for him before 2 or 3 O'Clock
in the morning, to which she aSSented

leges in conjunction with other de-
nominations was agreed upon at the
northern Baptist convention at Des
Moines, Ia, recently. The convention
will employ q national secretary to the
church board of education to supervise
the work.
The Outgrowth of this national move
ment will be the establishment OF
student pastorships as is done In 9th

the general subject of university re-
ligious cooperation the convention vot-
ed the sum of $1,000 for first year

THE SUMMER FLOUNCES.
A Few Words of Advice as to Making
Them-The Detachable Kind.

Them-The Detachable Kind.
With the advent of the thin summer
frock comes the demand for the lin
gerie petticOat. Detachable fiOunces
are a practical article to have, espe-
cially when travelling.
A strip of linen four yards long and
a half yard wide is necessary to make
q hounce. This may be tucked i'll
groups of five tucks, with strips of
lace insertion between, or it may be
plain, with strips of the lace placed
every three inches.
The bottom of the flOunce should be
finished by an edging of the lace.
Gather this strip and sew it to a strip
of material This may be buttoned or
basted to the skirt.
The one piece slips often have
flounces of silk. These may be re-
moved when the slip is Numbered.
Flounces formed of narrow plaitings
Of silk and null are extremely dainty.
The narrow plaitings are sewed to a
wide fOunce of plain lawn.
