Instance of a Man Who
Must Obey a Woman
For Twelve Hours
BY ELLEN p. BAXTER

A party of German Americans were
drinking beer and listening to an cr-
chestrion in a saloon with sawdust on
the floor and stunted evergreens stand
Ing about in tubs. The sawdust they
fancied to be the turf of the father
land; the evergreens were to them the
fir trees of their native forests; the Or
chestrion was the birds singing in the
trees. Happy Imagination that can de-
rive comfort from such surroundings.
The conversation fell upon the ad-
vancement Of women. which is attract
ing the attention of the world today.
The advancement of women!' ex-
claims Carl Becker contemptuously.
Rather the decline of women. Fancy
our German mothers and sisters and
wives and sweethearts taking on as
the English suffragists are now doing.
What would the fatherland be today?"
Zach. Carl retorted Hans Muller.
you can never advance beyond the
little village in which you were born.
where the men and the women have
occupied the same relative position for
hundreds of years. You are not up to

marry, and when women are obliged to
support themselves they will not be
content to play second fiddle"

the table they called for more beer,
and when it was served Carl Becker
began as follows:

Test Your Dress Samples.

To find out whether a fabric claimed
to be all wool contains cotton or not
boil a sample in a strong solution of
caustic soda, obtainable at any drug
Etore. The wool will dissolve with this
test, and If there is any cotton in the
sample it will remain unframed.
To test silk soak a sample in con-
centrated hydrochloric acid, which will
at once dissolve the silk. leaving the
other fibers untouched.
Linen suspected of containing cotton
should first be boiled in clear water.
After drying place the sample for sew
en- minutes in a mixture composed of
three parts sulphuric acid and two
parts nitrate Of potash. Wash the
sample again and dry; then place in a
mixture of ether and alcohol. This
will dissolve the cotton and leave the
linen untouched. Use q small stick
wien testing. 1t only takes a few
moments to make a test. and you are
then sure of the quality paid for.

A Charming Breakfast Cap.

Any one who can handle a needle at
all can make a charming breakfast cap.
A definite idea of the kind wanted. the
right amount Of null, lace. ribbon, silk
and flowers and patience enough to
make slow work pleasant are all need
ed, but every woman can possess these
things If she wants to.
The simplest sort of cap made is EN-
%broidered on fine handkerchief linen.
One is done in eyelet work and satin
stitch and is held in place by a chin
ribbon of Chinese blue drawn through
two buttonholed Sits in the top of the
cap. Nothing could be easier to make.
and nothing could look prettier than
this simple, almost babyish little cap.

The lady who begui)es

And shows the latest styles,
Looks very pretty to the eye
Grace is with her a knack-
But give me n of lesser charms
Who al me will talk back.
I like to see her standing there.
So modest and demure.
Her smile would melt q stony heart.
OF that you may be sure.
But what are smiles of frozen wax,
Although a work of art.
Compared to those of flesh and blood
And lips that close and part?
The lady is a fairy queen.
I see her standing there,
And I admire her winning ways
And how she curls her hair,
But she is safe from any harm,
AS far as l can see.
I wouldn't steal her If I could
And take her home with me.
Proud beauty. though I must admit
You are a girl of class.

permanent, unfadable boutonniere is

touch of originality to a country club

five or six centuries ago the town vas
attacked by robbers and the men after
a hard fight were obliged to retreat.
At this point the women. armed with
such weapons as they could lay their
hands upon, attacked the robbers and
beat them.
Ever since that time our people
have at intervals set apart n day for
q festival, during which the men turn
over all authority to the women and
are obedient to their slightest com
mands.

Is my wife-and when n of those fes-
tival days that the men must obey the
women came round l made arrange
ments to spend it with her. Lena had
some brothers and sisters all younger
than herself, including a baby. Herr
Reitze he said to me: Carl, l and my
wife 60 away on the WOman'S day, and
we leave all the children for you and
Lena to take care of. 1t will be a very
good preparation for you to be a mar
ried couple. You will have a family
on which to practice
II thought that a good idea, but at
that time l knew nothing about family
matters, and it seems to me now that
1t was not a very good day when l
must obey Lena to see how we would
get On as man and wife with a fam
lily. l told Herr Reitze that 1 would
go to his house and take his place
early in the morning and stay there
till he and his wife returned at night.
