know how and try to do it. What makes so much trouble in the world is the miserable strife of trying to keep up with other people.
 A husband who can live the sim pie life has in that ability at least one quality toward making him a perfect husband. He must be sim pie, sympathetic and forbearins. Our greatest men are our simplest men, and the perfect husbands are men of simple natures.
 A taste for music and art is not at all necessary to, make :nan a perfect husband, but he must have all-round intelligence. He must be the equal of his wife, SO that she can respect him and he can re- spect her
 with the above. There is consider able difference of opinion on the question. Some think there are perfect husbands and some, we'll they seem to be as optimistic as possible about it.
 Mrs, Frances Montgomery writes:
 The perfect husband is one you can depend upon at any and all times and under any circumstances A broad-mnded man, devoid of cnn- ceit; clean, honest true An un- derstanding husband, .one believing in human goodness. A wite's best friend. Emerson says: "A friend is one who makes us be our best"
 Mrs, Elizabeth Kemp, of Alham- bra, writes in part as follows:
 Well, 1 should say at the start there never has been and nev- CT will be such a person. It is not possible for anyone to be perfect in this world, but l have known few men with whom no one could find fault. Now, to be a perfect husband depends largely on the wife. The wife should be one worthy of perfect husband-not gadder, spendthrift or club-crazy, but should aim to make the home a haven of rest and happiness for him when he returns tired and hungry from office or shop. A perfect husband should be self-sacrificing and his greatest aim in life should be to make his wife happy and thus bring joy and peace to his own heart. He should be social and study his wife's desires and assist her in re-

Have You a Perfect Husband?

The Los Angeles Examiner has
 been carrying on in it's columns
 lately an animated discussion as to
 What Constitutes the Perfect Illus
 band?' offering prize for the best
 article on the subject.
 The result of the contest has not
 been received at this office yet, but
 the following article, submitted by
 Mrs. Craig, wife of Judge Gavin w..
 Craig, of the superior court in that
 city, will be read with interest:
 There is such a thing as per feet husband-I have one.
 Essentials to a perfect husband are these qualities-an even, sunny disposition, unselfishness and abso- lute truthfulness. These things make harmony, which is the most
 necessary thing in the home. A perfect husband understands the need for independence of living
 and he is perfectly willing to let
 his wife live her own life without thinking of questioning her manner of doing so.
 To certain degree, clothes enter into the solution of the question of what constitutes perfect husband He must be neat and he must be clean. More than that I would not
 require. would not ask him to dress expensively. l would merely ask for tastefulness. Money-that is a great deal-is not necessary to dress the part of a perfect husband. It is not expensive to be neat and clean and tasteful in ones gar
 ments.
 The perfect husband need not have a vast amount of money. The AL
 mighty Dollar brings all of our trou- bles. Yet certain amount Of money is necessary to live. But for a husband to be merely bank would mean that the wife commer- cializes him. He would not be Il perfect husband if he would permit her to treat him that way But he should demonstrate his willingness
 to share what he has.
 His physical attributes are imma terial It does not matter whether he is short or tall, thin or stout But he must have fine mental quail ties and those finenesses of character which come from within. That makes for happiness. Of that there is no doubt in my own mind We can make ourselves happy, if we

Study of Origin of Words

In his famous lecture on reading CSesame and LiliesD. Huskin urges every boy and girl to form the habit of looking intently at words, learn These terms sound rather personal in connection with mere words, and the average student may well won- der how suci, a study could be in teresting, not to say fascinating. And yet, if We trace good lively word we may be surprised at it's history, says the Christian Science Monitor
 Take as an example the wori voluble. It is from a Latin word. volvere, meaning to roll or turn. It's first signification. of course, is rolling or turning easily" as water, or a particles of wood in water,
 The second. or derived, meaning relates to the moving of words. The synonyms are: easy" glib" flip pant" Formerly, voluble had no unpleasant meaning, and vOluble speaker was one whose words rolled easily from his tongue. Now, how ever, the word carries the though. of flippancy.
 The third definition is botanical, namely, twisting or turning A yOluble stem is one which winds about it's support. The convulvus flower, which resembles the morn ing-glory, derives it's name from the same root, "volvere."

Other languages. we find. have a near cousin to our word. In the German there is vellen, which means waves, and we learned when we stu died physical geography that waves are caused by the rolling of water in circles. The Anglo-Saxons have a word well from the verb weallen to we'll up or boil. and the Dutch have wei, literally a spring.
 In this connection it is interest ing to notice two common English words, "WallCw." and 'wallop." We say The pig widowed in the mire," and we recognize the close rela- tionship between this form and vol were, to roll. Wallop literally means boil; as "Tie potatoes walloped in the kettle" There is a slang term too which we sometimes hear. T walloped him
 But it is the compounds, the union of the root word with the various prefiAes. which prove most interesting of all. We have con volve, revolve. involve, and evolve If we learn the meanings of these various prefixes. we shall have the definition of the whole new word. Thus, con means with. and volvere, to roll; hence. convolutions are things rolled togathar
 Since de means from, devolve would mean to roll from one to another. We say. the task de- volved upon me-; literally, rolled

 It's fatigue that makes us have the blues; the only cure is to rest, according to physical culturist who is lecturing throughout the country
 How is it, then, that people who work the hardest are usually the cheeriest, while idleness will develop the deepest time to be blue"
 The fact is that busy people have no time to be blue"
 They have no idle moments to waste on pection or self-pity or to make mountains of mole hills. And when busy people are tired they are so ready for rest that again there isn't time to imagine that the worlds against them and nobody loves them any more
 Some folks think they must have the blues" just so often.
 Whole families are occasionally afflicted, but usually it is just one member who afflicts the household with her moods.
 Sometimes it's the liver that needs attentlon But usually the blues is simply a matter of self pity. It is a disease of which one should be ashamed and for which an immediate remedy should be sought, though nearly every victim of moods actually cherishes her misery.
 One woman who seemed to revel in doldrums was gradually summed by all her friends.
 There seemed to be no excuse for her melancholy, except that she had nothing to do. Her husband provided well for her She lived in beautiful home They didn't have any children and she didn't want any She couldn't interest herself in anything.
 One day her husband lost his good job. He didn't seem able to get another His investments all went wrong at once. His bad luck and his wife's complaints made him a suicide. Today the woman is earning her living as practical nurse, and she hasn't had a fit of the blues" since real trouble came to her and she had to work for her living.
 T used to get awfully blue some times before I was married" said one busy young housewife. but now not even a month of rainy days affects nie. You see, I've found a different viewpoint learned some of that from my cheerful hus- band, and some from certain hard knocks and bumps, and some from feeling that I'm pretty big to be working for a husky husband and three youngsters, you know" she laughed
 There are various remedies for the blues"
 One is common sense. Another is to have a little more trust in the Lord.
 Real trouble is a cure A sense of humor, if cultivated is a great help to slave off attacks
 A brisk walk where there are open fields and sky is a great tonic.
 A visit among the really poor and unfortunate ought to transfer self-pity to sympathy for somebody else and a desire to be useful
 And dose of Epson salts will go long way toward curing the most indigo outlook upon the world Exchange.

of butter and small knife or "spreader" is put above the points of the forks When there is no maid, an extra supply of bread and also of butter may be left on the table. but it is better not to put hem on unti after the sCw- course.
 One of the important things to remember in serving dinner is that up to the dessert course a plate must at all times be left on the table before each guest
 When the soup plates are brought in on flat plates. the original place plates, which may be large orna- mental ones or ordinary dinner plates are taken away. A simpler but less conventional method is to bring in the soup plates, one at a time without under plates, and put them on the original place plates.
 THE SALAD QUESTION:
 When any dish is handed to person. this is done from the right side but when a person helps him. self, the dish is presented at the left
 Sometimes small plain crackers case they are placed on the bread and butter plates or passed after the soup is served More often the bread that is already at the plates is considered sufficient.
 When the meat course is brought in, the plates are changed in the portion of meat being brought on each plate.
 Some people prefer to serve the meat at the table, in which case the soup plates must be taken away before the roast is set in front of the carver. He must have a pile of dinner plates in front Of him un- less there is a maid to hand them to him one at a time
 The vegetables are passed Cat the lefD for each one to help himself, then the bread and the jelly or pickle beth of which may be left on the table
 The question of salad is one which often comes up, whether to serve it with the meat course or to make separate course of it. If served with the main course it is put on a plate larger than a bread and but ter plate. This may be prepared in the kitchen and brought to each place. or the plates may be passed and the salad served at each per sons left from a large bowl or platter.
 WHEN COFFEE IS SERVED.
 When it comprises a separate course as the more elaborate sal ads do, the plates are prepared in the kitchen and brought in, two at time, in the way described for the soup. Simple crackers are served with this, sometimes spread with cheese.
 Before the dessert is served the table is cleared from all general dishes, bread and butter plates, bread, relishes, and, in fact, every thing that has been used with the courses that have gone before. Then the table is brushed free from crumb with a napkin which sweeps them into a plate, and the water glasses are filled.
 Dessert may be served by the hostess, or may be brought in from the kitchen, with the necessary spoon or fork on the table at the beginning of the meal.
 If coffee is desired, it is brought to each person in tiny cups ac- companied by tiny spoon, and the sugar and bread are passed. Fin ger bowls, on dolly covered plates, are brought to each person. In case the dessert is served at the table the dolly and bowl may be removed and the plate used. It is often so used for nuts or crack CTS and cheese with the coffee.
