WHY WILL WOMEN INVARIBLY
FORGIVE RECREANT HUSBANDS?

wonder if woman wouldn't get just
a bit more respect from Mr.. Good
For Nothing Husband, and a bit more
sympathy from everybody else. IL she
were to rise up in rebellion and de-
clare her rights.
Wouldn't it have just a little ten
dency, if anything at all could, to
make Mr.. Good For Nothing Husband
see his worthlessness, and according
ly, wouldn't he begin to realize that
he wasn't such a good husband and
father after all?
But ever since the world began it's
been thus. they tell Us. It's been very
much a mans world. And indeed, in
this particular, it is still quite as
much a mans world as ever. For
where is there the woman who would
expect her husband to take her back
if she had proven herself worthless?
It's all due to the fact that women
have a greater consJancy than men.
They love their families. and for their
chilsren they will make any sacri-
fees.
But can't help wondering some
times If taking back a good-for-noth-
ing, worthless husband. to be a draw
back 10 the family progress, is not
just a bit too much Of a sacrifice to
make.

THE BUSINESS GIRD AND HER
EXPENDITURES.
(By Blanche Draper.)

If one really wished to find some
key which would reveal the charac-
ter of the Business girl perhaps no
better one could be found than her
expenditures would afford.
It's an old saying, tried and true,
that you can judge a person by the
company he keeps. But it is quite
as true that you can Judge a business
girl by the character of her expendi-
lures.
OF course there are the Necessary
Ewing expenses, the expenditure for
room. clothes, board, laundry, sew
ing and the like which every self
supporting girl must meet But even
in these the character of the girl may
be judged. For instance. if her dress
makers bill is high, and her laundry
bill very small we can imagine that
she cares a good deal for outside dis
play, though there might just bit of
suspicion attach itself to the immacul-
ateness of some of her lingerie.
And so even in the necessary ex-
penditures for the everyday ordinary
expenditures we may to a certain ex-
tent read the character of the girl.
But it Is in the expenditure of the
money which remains as a surplus
after the living expenses are paid that
we may most clearly read her charac-
ter. If it goes for frivolity, for
cheap, and worthless entertainment
for nick-nacks and the like we Judge
her frivolous. If on the other hand
she saves what little money she may
for good books, good plays. the best
. concerts, interesting trips, and similar
purposes we at once come to the con-
clusion that she is a girl with high
ambition, a desire to improve her
mind, her outlook, and her prospects
And so all down through the line
we may go on judging business girls
by their expenditures.
How do you spend your money?
Does your mode of expenditure re-
fleet the sort of character, the type
of ambition you would have it?

These are the days when the sweet
girl graduate Of June Is determining
whether or not she will again be
freshman in the fall.
These are the days when she Is de-
Gliding whether her high school edu-
cation Is to complete her school days,
or whether she is to go on with her
studies, and possibly specialize in
some certain line.
It's a question which each girl must
decide for herself. There can be no
general principle governing the de-
cision in this matter unless perhaps
1t be that every girl needs all the
education she can receive.
The big thing to consider Is:
What do you want to make of your
self?
What particular talent have you,
the training of which will make you
more useful to yourself, your family
and the world at large?
Once this has been determined,
there remains to be considered only
the possibility for your achieving the
end you desire.
And that is not an unsurmountable
obstacle to any girl with will. Once

Choose Travelling Companion
AS Carefully as Life Partner

live for a given space of time, and
accordingly should be carefully chos-
en-.
Nothing could possibly be more dis
concerning than to have a trip on
which one had planned for many
months completely spoiled because the
companion one had chosen made life
unbearable.
The choosing of a travelling COM
panion is not such a difficult thing
however and depends entirely upon
your own tastes, and the extent of
your pocketbook.
For instance, it is the delight Of
folly to choose to travel with one who
is interested in none of the things
which interest you, as it Is also equal
ly foolish to attempt to travel and be
happy with one whose money allows
her to live and do things which you
can in no measure afford Either of
such travelling companions would ruin
ones happiness in very short time.
Before taking long trip it's a good
scheme to have a thorough under

pose to travel together.

NOVEL SCHEME FOR TEACHING
CHILDREN CARE OF CLOTHES

1--WE a new system of teaching my
children to take care of their clothes
and it works splendidly," said a moth
er the other day.
1t was a group of women enjoying
a most informal thimble party on one
of the neighborhood porches. They
were discussing the subject of child
training. Most of the women were
mothers, and they were keenly inter
ested in the matter Of the care of
children's clothes.
The mother in question had two
little girls about six and four years
of age respectively, and the scheme
she advanced could be easily adopted
by any mother.
The room in which my children
sleep has little clothes closet off
from it, she explained. "Originally
it was fitted with hooks placed high

could reach the rack. Then l secured
a number of hangers of the right size
for the Children's dresses. Marys
hangers are all covered in blue, and
Virginia's are all in pink. So neither
child ever has occasion % use the
hangers belonging to the other.
When their garments are removed
at night or during the day for that
matter, I insist upon their being plac-
ed on the hangers and hung in the
closet. One child has one-half of the
closet and the other has the remain

BUYERS
ARE FLOCKING

Buyers from a dozen southwestern
states are scurrying over the potato
fields in North Dakota and western
Minnesota. There are new arrivals
almost daily and the price of the tubers
is very encouraging. The prevailing
quotation is so cents. Some sales of
unsorted tubers are mad at lower
prices, but the best quality of selected
potatoes cannot be purchased for less.
This year the yield has not been
quite as large as last season, but the
quality is far superior and the net re-
turns will be much greater as a result
of the higher prices due to the short
age in Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri and
other states.
The farmers this year have taken
the crop more seriously than formerly
and have prepared to care for it by con-
structing the proper Kind of ware
houses in which to store the potatoes
until next spring. This is of great ad-
vantage as the market is not flooded
as usual at this season and the price
forced Town as it has been in former
years.
