ASQVS 4S SQC0 a mystery
 I cannot find it out.
 When think I'm best resolved.
 T then am most in doubt
 What aspity it is that some women do not know when they are well off Their good husbands provide comfort able homes; they are not suited in their bill of fare. Their raiment is as costly as his purse can afford But for all that, their faces wear a dis eontented frown. The welcome kiss Of the honeymoon days Is lacking Sharp retorts are on the lips which once uttered only words or love. The husband wonders why. instead Of be- ing happy as the day is long. they are fretfub downright unhappy
 The trouble with such women is they have too much leisure time in which to fret and fume The little housewife who rises with the dawn, filling every hour of her time with hustIing about her work. is the one who sings. is nght-hearted and happy no matter how hard the tasks which she has to accomplish The woman who is distontented without good feav son should put in day., at least, studying the nisfortunes of less for tunate women Even the smallest Villages as well as cities, house the miserable poorwives who are the mothers of a houseful Of children who ara like the birds of the air-know- ing not where the next food is to come from
 Let the discontented wife view the other wouans surround ings-the room or two which she keeps from being squalfd, by de1Jing from morning till night The tattered rags which cover the children and herself are at least clean. She has not an instant to mourn over her lot or dream how the fine folk live who have cool airy rooms, sweet fresh clothing and bath tubs of cooling water, to refresh their fevered bodies, airy verandas. q ta- ble loaded with appetizing food. with no fear of that gaunt spectre starva- ton lurking about the door or the la Dor which is the price of a crust of bread.
 Prdvation and want make the poor mans heart heavy. Ee sees the wo- man who loved and welded him fade day by day-the burden of want and woe grow heavier. She misses his smile, but she does not add to his burdens by complaining. After visit ing few homes of this kind, the dis contented wife who has 50 much to give her happiness must realize. that she is bringing on her own unhappi- ness and causing her husband to drift from her. The man Inarries for sun shine and happiness. If he cannot find # at home where on earth is he to look for it2 For long years of hap piness, wives should look on the bright side of life, allowing discontent no foothold.

IO-DAY'S POEM
WHEN PAPA's SICK.

q
 (Read before the Bridgeport Art League by the author and consider ed by Mrs. Lincoln. the tstruest to nature poem which he has written.1 When Papa's sick, my goodness sakes! Such awful, awful times it makes. He speaks in, oh! such lonesome tones And gives such nghastIy kind of
 groans,
 And rolls his eyes and holds his head, And makes Ma help him up to bed. While Sis and Bridget run to heat Hot-water bags to warm his feet, 2 And I anust get the doctor quick We have to jump when Papa's sick. When Papa's sick, Ma has to stand Right side the bed and hold his hand While sir, she has to fan am fan. For he says he's "a dyin' man. And wants the children round him to Be there when s'sufferin' Pa gets
 through
 He says he wants to say goodbye And kiss us all, and then he'll die: Then means and says his 'breathin's It's awful sad when Papa.s alck. When Papa,s, sick he acts that way Until he hears the doutor say, s.Y ou've only got a cold, you know: You'H be all right'n a day or so;'. And them well, say! you ought to Hes different as he can be. Just cause his dinner ain,t cooked
 right; And all he does is fuss and kick We're all used up when Papa's sick.

 his wish, people came to talk to
 him, and he could forget him
 self again. Rachel BOrken sat for a long time with him and talked chiefly of women in the world, and with her was girl named Edith Hay don, who WAS already very we'll known as eytologist and several of the younger men who were working in the place and patient named Kahn, q poet and Edwards, designer of plays and shows, spent some time with him, The talk wandered from point to point and came back upon itself and be- came now earnest and now trivial, as the chance suggestions determined But soon afterward Gardener wrote down notes of things he remembered, and it is possible to put together again the outlook of Karenin upon the world , and how he thought and felt about many Of the principal things in life.
 ssOur age'' he said, sehas been so far an age of scene shifting. We have been preparing stage, clearing away the setting of drama that was play ed out and growing tiresome- If could but sit out the first few scenes of the new spectacle!
 <sHow encountered the world had be- 7 with a growth of nnmeaning things. It was entangled, feverish, confused. 1t was in sore need of release. and I suppose that nothing less than the vio- lence of those bombs could have re leased it and made it a healthy world again. suppose they we're necessary. Just as everything turns to evil in a fevered body, so everything seemed turning fo evil in those last years of the old time. Everywhere there were obsolete organizations sefzing upon all the new fine things that science was giving to the world, nationa1ities, all sorts Of political bodies, the churches and sects, proprietorship, seizing upon those great powers and limitless possi- bilities and turning them to evil uses. And they would not suffer open speech; they would not permit of education; they would let no one be educated to the needs of the new time. You who are younger cannot imagine the mix ture of desperate hope and protesting despair in which we who could believe in the possibilities of science lived in those years before atomic energy came.
 .'It was not only that the mass of people would not attend, would not understand, but that those who did un derstand lacked the power of real be lief They said the things. they saw the things and the things meant noth- ing to them.
 q have been reading some old pa pers lately. It is wonderful how our fathers bore themselves toward sci ence. They hated 1t. They feared it They permitted a few scientific men to exist and work-a pitiful handful. Don't find out anything about us. they said to them; don't inflict vision upnp us: spare our little ways of life fro5 the fearful shaft of understantlzf

And then all the things I have hidden and kept down or dis counted or set right afterward will get the better of me. l shall be peevish. I may lose my grip upon my own ego usm.
