GIRLS, BE TIDY

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 Sometimes what may seem to be a
 very frivolous subject is of vital inn
 portahce to the writer. I have been
 going with a very sweet girl for over
 year and love her sufficiently to
 propose to her. Here is my trouble
 a mortifying one--I am told from so
 many sources that it cannot, in all
 probability be untrue, that this girl
 always has holes in her hosiery.
 plainly noticeable to those walking
 behind usl I cannot endure the re-
 marks made by some of the young men know concerning this. I have had two severe personal encounters over this. In the last one received a, scar on the neck which I will carry for life. cannot broach such a sub Ject to this girl who is as refined as she is sweet. How could set about
 remedying the fault without giving mortal offense? ALBERT Introduce some woman friend who has your interest at heart to the girl [ and after one or two meetings her 1 woman's wit will enable her to call the girls attention to the unpresent- able hosiery as though the misfor- tune to them had just occurred. She will soon be obliged to take heed and mend her stockings or don whole ones. A girl of that kind will not | make a good wife; her home would be apt to suffer for the needed stitch l in time. A neat wife is a, blessing. A slattern is a loadstone hung to a mans neck.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

In washing muslin curtains they will look more sheer if you boil two quarts of wheat bran in, six quarts of water for half an hour and strain and mix in the water in which the. curtains are to be washeId.
 When you have finished boiling the soup bones it is best to strain everything out before standing the stock away to cool. If the bones are left in stock they absorb some Of the the sweetness of the stock.
 When the laundry work is being done ask the laundress to dip a pail of the sudsy water out of the tub after the clothing has been washed through it This is an excellant nour- i ishing drink for the house plants.
 For broken skin on the heel, break a, fresh egg, take the inner skin of the same and apply it ot the heel, holding it firmly for a few minutes. It will adhere closely as the real skin and will relieve pain.
 Make an ironing pad for embroid- cried articles covering one side of the square with Turkish towe1ling and the other side with white outing flan- ne1. Use the Turkish side for laces and the other side for embroideries.

 l Are there hard and fast rules re- ga.rding a married mans rights? Let us see.
 He has the right to be called the pillar of society because he is the foundation, the main support of a family He has the right to elbow single men aside and pluck all the plums, the best positions offered, be- cause he is married. His rights ex- tend further to paying the house. hold bills, delving early night and day to make money to give his wife comforts, to buy her costly clothes, that she may enjoy life of luxury and ease, bridge afternoons and hes itation waltzing at night
 A married man has a right to be up before dawn on a bitter cold morning. making a fire in the kitch- en range, calling his wife when the coffee is ready.
 A married man s rights are to deny himself anything more than he abso- lutely needs and to save, save, save while his little girls are growing up.
 The girls declare, when they are old enough to have beaux, that father has a right to refurnish the parlor. He has right to keep out of it when young men are calling. The married man has right to pay his wife's bills when she is off summering in summer and Wintering in winter. The right is his to furnish the family with an automobile, servants and cash The married man has a right to go to bed 5 early to rest up for the next days work, while his family are enjoying the theatre or ball.
 ] He has the right to wear clothes of last years cut, inexpensive, even a bit shabby, so long as his women folk are arrayed in the gowns of the prevailing mode.
 He has the right to invite marriage able young men home to dinner to meet the daughters, that the curtain lectures may ease upon him.
 He has the right to have his say so about having the kind of dinner he Ikes-corned beef and cabbage i at least once a week-that one day Lin to dine--Monday, wash day. The married man has right to give his daughter in marriage to a man he detests after having argued the mat ter out with his wife and lost the bat tie. Father has a right to take the new son-in-Iaw into his business, put 1 ting the young mans experience against his hard-earned capital.
 The married man has a right ito keep up with the times that his fam fly may be pleased instead of asham- ed Of his care1essness in dress, speech or habits.

MISSION NEEDS
 MORE MONEY

The brick sale being conducted by the Bridgeport Christian Union has now netted that organization for it's new building fund $s,951. Of this amount $8,305 is now in the fund and the remaining $646 has been -p1edg- ed This was the status of the fund on Saturday night of last week and it is probable that the amount has been increased by the contributions of the Bridgeport people since that time.
 Brick saIesmen are offering the bricks at the rate of $t each, and it is calculated that .75,000 bricks will have to be sold before the new building for the Bridgeport Christian Union will be a possibility. Though the sale has not been as rapid as might be hoped for, the promoters of the building plan and all those ip- terested in the good work of the Bridgeport Christian Union are en- paign for the money to date, and are of the opinion that the entire sum will be available in the near future
 No expense is attached to the cam paign, and no one will derive a bene- fit from the building fund except the poor unfortunate men who will be sheltered and cared for at the Union next winter. It is calculated that the, new building will stake the place to a great extent of the fre-trap Iodg- ing houses which many poor men are forced to inhabit during the win ter season; and it is believed that after the making, manifest within the last few weeks of the fearful condi- tions which exist in these places that every public spirited citizen of Bridge port will be willing to contribute to- ward the new home of the Christian < Union, so that at least a portion of the unfortunate people of the city may have clean, and sanitary as well as respectable sleeping quarters dur ing the next winter season.

 Possibly the fact that he suddenly quit drinking and smoking may have something to do with it. Melancholia is the most frequently curabIe form of insanity. Ass long as the patients may be kept with friends or relatives It is thought Of but little use to try to argue them out of their melancholy thoughts, it is always best never to scold or laugh at their expressions. but try to turn their thoughts upon other subjects.

LOOKING AT OTHER WOMEN

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 What would you do if you had a sweetheart who always looked at oth- CTS when he was outwith you? That is my case. Is he not satisfied with me? When we are not in company of others he is very kind and defer ehtiaI to me. It hurts my pride to see him look at other girls. What do you think of him? ETTA
 As long as he only LOOKS at other women, you have no real cause for jealousy Do not let him see that you notice this habit or worry over it. He seems to have chosen you above aH others for sweetheart. That would indicate he cares for you only-and Is satisfied.

 Once upon a. time the raindrops de- cided to have a dancing party such as had never been given before The snowdrops, their great rivals in Win ter had departed driven away by the Sun King so the raindrops knew they would not be interfered with until next Winter.
 The Sun King had given his per- mission for the dance and had prom ised to stay in one whole day, as he knew his hot rays would spoil the
 So one day all the raindrops gath cred above the very place you live and the dance began. They didn't need any outside music for each rain drop made his own as he came down from the clouds. Each drop was all shiny and round, all in their best clothes.
 q They all danced alone and all over the sidewalks, the streets, and the roofs they spIashed and danced and fro1icked until they got so tired they just lay quiet and slept. Of course they didn't lie on the sidewalks or streets as they might get stepped on and killed, so as they went to sleep they melted all up into tiny sifvery streams and rolled off into the deep gutter where they went altogether singing as they went, to the sewer and so into the sea.
 That was not the end of them however, for the Sun King drew them up from the sea into their cloud homes again where they Immediately began to arrange for another party in a few days.
