Why She Was Despicabie.

Il don't see why you should think
Mrs. Wibbersleigh doesn't know any
thing. You know she is a graduate
Of Vassar and is one of the leading
spirits in the Woman's club
We'll, she's so stuck-up She
wants to put en- so, without any rea-
son for it.
DO you think she's that kind? I'm
surprised The last time l called on
her she told me that one of her rugs
which | supposed was very costly
one was nothing but an imitation and
that they had only paid ST for it"
1t isn't in that way SO much. Of
course anybody can see that most OF
the things in her house are cheap and
shoddy, but she's such namby pam
by, selfish creature"
why, really, you surprise me- /
had supposed she was anything but
that. You know she works regularly
in one of the settlements, and it would
make you happy to see her there fond
ling those poor little ragged children
the way she does and acting as if they
were just as dear to her as her own
are"
Gracious! l didn't suppose she
would even touch another woman's
child. She won't let hers play with
mine!"

HUSBAND MUST BE AMERICAN
Popular Singer Declares They Are the
Best in the World, and Perhaps
She Is Right.

A young American singer who re-
turns to this country after a success
full career abroad, expecting to reap
here high hoonrs and much money, an
nounces that she is a candidate for
matrimony, but only American men
need apply. Her verdict is that the
Russian husband is cruel, the German
selfish, the Frenchman untrue, the
Italian broke" the Spaniard jealous
and lazy and the Englishman domineer-
ing. These generalizations are un-
doubtedly too strong. There are as
good husbands in each of the coun-
tries as anywhere, but the foreigner
who deliberately hunts an American
girl is apt to be an adventurer, and
we hear OF all the bad cases. We do
not hear of the thousands of American
women happily married and living IN
every country in Europe.
1t is to be hoped that the singer Will
find a husband with none of the bad
qualities mentioned and with all OF
the virtues. We feel at liberty, how
ever, to point out that there are some
mighty bad husbands in this country
and that American birth alone is no
guarantee of perfection. 1t is true,
however, that the ordinary American
husband is the best trained animal
in captivity. He eats out of his wife S
hand and signs checks and is thankful
for the opportunity. There are millions
of such husbands now and millions
of candidates for the yokc.-Philadel-
phia Inquirer.

Not Much OF a Job.

Two guests missed several courses
Of a dinner which was being given in
their honor at country house. Why ?
Because, search as they might, they
could not find the key of the trunk
that held their dress suits. Various
keys were tried in vain, and finally
they had to wait impatiently until a
locksmith could be fetched from the
nearest town, three miles away. The
man arrived In less than a minute
the trunk was open.

The farmers flock should be pro-
life without sacrificing other quail
ties. They should be good table fowls.
To satisfy mis- requirement they must
be of good size, plump and OF good APP
pearance when dressed. They must
be hardy and good foragers, as there
is much waste food on the farm that
can be converted into cash returns
by the fowls. The hens must be good
sitters and mothers, as many farmers
are not ready to buy incubators-al
though they should do so at once.
These are questions that are being
studied by the careful, and each in
dividual will have to determine the
natter for himself. An old farmer
who is now off the active list, but still
lives on the farm and raises poultry
as a diversion says he visited many
poultry shows just to inspect some
OF the best birds of the new varieties,
ana he says that he has never seen
anything better than the Plymouth
Rock and Wyandotte varieties for real

are still at the top, and there are
enough varieties of them to please
