WOOING PARLORS SOON
"Love Cotes" to Be Established
There and a Big Waiting List
Expectant.

Six little counting parlors all in a row
are to be one of the interesting features
of the Kensington Young Women's Chris
tian Association. now in the course of
construction at Allegheny avenue and
Hancock street
The building is expected to be ready
for occupancy in October and will ac-
commodate from 60 to 10 girls. The di-
minutive "love cotes'' are in line with
the latest ideas of advanced Young
womens Christian Association workers
throughout the country, who believe that
beau nights and beau parlors are a neces-
sary part of the young working girls
happiness.
The counting parlors will be so arranged
as to afford all the privacy that a sem
timental attachment in the last stages
could desire. and yet they will be within
easy access of the main salon, which is
to be the gathering place of those mem
bers of the association whose love af-
fairs have not reached the acute point
that demands seclusion from the rest of
the world.
In the meantime rumors of the courting
waiting list. 1t is said, OF lengthy pro-
portions has already been compiled, with
a list of the names of applicants who
want to try out this Kensington innova-
tion.

nNE bright spring day, Ned couldn't
" go to school with the other children.
he could not even sit up, he was so sick!
All the whole long sunshiny day he had
TO stay In his bed-which is stupid busi-
ness. you know. II you have ever tried it.
BY the next day he was much better,
but still unable to go to school. When
the evening of the second day came he
was we'll enough to want something in
teresting to do every minute and he had
used up every suggestion his mother had
made.
Finally bedtime came and mother said
good night all around. But. mother"

"But know I'll just lie awake and

for the stairs just the same.
"If you like Ned said his sister En-
ma. "I'll tell you a game | used to play
with myself when l had to stay in bed
SO long with my hurt ankle. It's lots of
fun"
"oh. don't care for any girls gamel'
replied Ned testify But Emma took no
notice OF the testiness; she only said kind
W This isn't girls game, Ned, this is

"Circusl" scoffed Ned in real brother
fashion. who could play circus in bed

All right, let's try IT, said Ned, in

dren got permission from mother TO go
into Ned's room for ten minutes while he
should be instructed in the new game;

along and be timekeeper and watch the

CPRING evening gowns are rapidly
- Omaking their disappearance as the
tendency toward light taffetas, crepe de
chine, volles, corduroys and all the really
serviceable fabrics develops. Gowns prom
ise to be highly informal on every oc-
casion this summer, to Judge by the way
the shops are reducing the real evening
costumes. There was never more favor
able time at which to buy a light spring
gown than the present.
One Chestnut street shop is selling out
a number of pastel-tinted evening gowns
for SIS piece. This includes lovely
canary yellow creation with full shirred
bodice, trimmed with shadow lace, and
dainty wings of the same acting for
sleeves. The skirt was widely bouffant
in cut, with double quilting of the taffeta
at the bottom and a corsage ornament at
the waist which had no girdle.

Then 1t is our circus ground" said
Emma, land now we will make the pa
rade." She pointed to the wall. "See
how the shadows of your raised knees
make the big tents? Now see how many
kinds of animals you can make with your
fingers"
BY that time, mother, Mary Jane and
Jack were all as interested as Ned, and
they all set to work TO make shadows
BY curling and twisting their fingers, by
moving their hands in different ways,
they made animals of all shapes and
sizes. and they found 1t lot OF fun.
After the parade. Ned pulled down the
tents and had real performance, which
was so interesting that mother forgot all
about bedtime. Finally father called up
the stairs, DO you know it's way past
81 and the circus was packed up in
hurry and took the train for dreamIand!

MATRIMONIAL
HAMMERS

WHely Opinions on Husbands

wife, but his temperament is such that he
doesn't want other people to guess the
real state Of his feelings Hence he is
often unnecessarily brusque and off-hand
in his manner toward her. You simply
can't get him to go in for little public
demonstrations Of affection.
Therefore, he ls often a much-mallgned
man, not by his wife. but by interested
spectators. Mr. Jones doesn't care
bit for his wife" people will say He
is so casual In his manner toward herr
But interested spectators are frequently
very wide of the mark in their final
summlng-up. For an inside view is the
only thing that counts in the matter OF
opinions. And the wife is really the
only person who can speak with author
ity on any such subject as her husband
and his particular disposition.
One meets many charming cultured
interesting men, who appear the en-
bodiment OF husbandly virtues But to
listen to their wives. "You should just
see him at home" they remark with
bated breath!
When | hear talk of that sort. l wonder
Just whose fault It is, the husbands or
the wife's? What are the wives like
in their private attitude toward their
husbands? And isn't the game very much
in their own hands, after all? The atti-
tude of the husband too often reflects the
unfortunate attitude of his wife.

The Sleening Singer

Love in her heart and song upon her lip,
A daughter friend and wife,
She lived beauteous life,
And love and son shall bless her in her
sleep.
The flowers, whose language she inter-
preted,
The delicate airs. calm seas and starry
skies
That touched so sweetly her ohaste SYM
pathies,
And all the grieving souls she comforted
VIII bathe in separate sorrows the dear
mound
Where heart and harp lie silent and pro-
found
oh, woman, all the songs thou left to us
we will preserve for thee in grateful love;
Give thou return of our affection thus,
And keep for us the songs thou sing'st
above.

WTO oES It really do to take q wife's

replies Contributions on the subject were
decidedly Diverse the majority holding
that the wife was really the most reliable

OF husbandly characteristics. and, OF
course, husbandiy fallinss.
One somewhat cynical writer. however,
took the opposite point of view. "A
wlfe,s opinion, she declares. must neces-

live with man for any length OF time
and vet continue to hold good opinion
OF him. Just as no man is a hero to his

amiability In man and acts as perfect
