HOW MUCH is A WIFE WORTH?
Gle said when first he saw me

fHe said when first he saw me
Life seemed at once divine;
Each night he dreamed of angels
And every face was mine;
Sometimes voice in sleeping
Would all his hopes forbid;
And then he'd waken, weeping
Do you really think he did?
When a man falls in love with
girl sufficiently to wed her, the
thought of money does not enter into
his consideration. After marriage he
loves her more devotedly than before.
If children bless the union, he is in
deed happy man. If offspring is de-
MED, wise man looks at it philosoph-
ically.
Life flows contentedly onward with
the pair A man may be very good
husband and yet forget the first duty
he owes to the woman who has chosen
him from all others is to make good
his VOW at the altar-namely, to en-
dow her with an equal half of his
worldly goods. He has promised to
give her all. The average wife is not
SO covetous as to take over his bust
ness and attempt to run it. She is
usually willing to accept the amount
he doles out to her for household ex-
penses, etc.
What wife would think of asking a
statement of her husband in regard
to his business at the end of each
year? If the marriage bark glides
smoothly, all is well. She has moth
ing to fear. But if there's trouble in
the matrimonial camp, and the hus-
band becomes parsimonious toward
his better half, she has every reason
to fear.
Many a mans fortune is based on
the prudence Of saving wife. She
may have eked along on sum which
barely enabled her to keep body and
soul together that her spouse might
have the more money to put into his
business. She may have added her
own little mite, which she mad earned
by sewing during those years of strug-
gle, to swell his profits.
Should serious disagreements arise
between husband and wife, which
would cause the parting CT their

SYRUP OF FIGS FOR

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the dose" mother insisted

How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children It's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form Of
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is well-found-
ed. Their tender little "insides" are
injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious California Syrup of Figs" It's
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless fruit

love to take it; that 1t never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet

given today saves sick child tomor-

of all ages and for grown-ups plainly

SHOULD GIRLS KNOW HOW TO
WORK?
Love, exacting nothing back.
Never knoweth any lack;
Love, compelling love to pay,
Sees him bankrupt every day.


Love, compelling love to pay,
Sees him bankrupt every day.
No matter how poor woman is
or how hard she has to work in her
struggle to keep the wolf from the
door, if she has a daughter she will
work her fingers to the bone rather
than to permit the girl to seek other
than genteel employment. If the
mother had her way about 1t, the girl
would do fancy things, painting, en-
broider sofa pillows, or teach music
lessons. She has denied herself even
the necessities of life to send the
daughter to school, Her dreams of
what she would become have been the
brightest she had ever known.
She determines that the girl shall be
a lady at any cost. She would as soon
think of flying as permitting the girl
to get up first on cold winter morn
ing and make fire, getting the break
fast for the family.
Let her do a washing or an ironing?
Never, while I'm able to do it," the
mother declares to the neighborS
when they suggest the girl should help
her bit. Her daughter is not initiated
into the art of baking, housekeeping
or sewing. Her dresses are made by
a seamstress who is tasty, but works
cheap
If misfortune overtakes the strug-
Cling family-if they lose the father or
the mother falls ill-the girl is hope
lessly at her wits end to know what
to do to earn the money for the rent
and the upkeep of her little brothers.
In that moment, the sick mothers
eyes are open. She realizes that she
made the mistake of her life in not
teaching the girl that she could learn
to do all the homework of every de-
scription and yet be lady. Perhaps
it may be the girls own fault that she
does not know how to cook a meal
that could be eaten and keep the home
and the children clean, keep the little
boys clothes neatly mended. She is
politely laughed at when she answers
an advertisement to teach music to
children after a moments exhibition
of her skill at the piano. She learns,
too, with dismay, that she couldn't
earn enough to keep body and soul
together embroidering sofa pillows be-
cause her work is so plain.
It's the same with china painting.
She's lucky IL she secures a position
behind a counter in a store. II
young man forms her acquaintance,
she would lose him If she invited him
to her untidy home. II he puts the
question bluntly to her, as to whether
or not she could cook meal, she
would have to acknowledge she
couldn't.
She isn't a helpmate for a poor man.
It is more likely than not that she
would never come in contact with
rich man, who would want her for his
wife. The girl who does not know
how to do anything well is mercilessly
elbowed to one side by girls who have
| been taught by their mothers many
useful things from which they couid
gain livelihood, if need be. knowing
how to work never spoils any girl.

Piect Edges,

The picot edge is lavishly used as
a finish on modern costumes, and not
only is this form of edge-trimming ex-
iuisitely soft and dainty, but it does
away with the necessity of hemming
always a tiresome process where
chiffons or tulle are concerned. A
sulphur-colore tulle dancing frock
has three skirt fiounces, eacl. seal
loped and picot edged, and the tulle
straps which form the upper bodice
are also picot edged. Even tulle
bridal yeils are finished with the

The Chinese were the first people to
issue bank notes. They started in this
business q centuries before the birth
of Christ. One of these bank notes
may still be seen in the Asiatic mu-
scum, Petrograd. 1t is printed in blue
on white paper made from mulberry

first Chinese banker Was of Scotch

Work.

Man must work. That is as certain
as the sun. But he may work grudg-
ingly, or he may work gratefully; he
may work as a man, or he may work
as a machine. He cannot always
choose his work, but he can do 1t in
a generous temper and with an up
looking heart There is no work so
rude that he may not exalt it; there
is no work so impressive that he may
not breathe a soul into it; there is
no work SO dull that he may not en-
Iiven it.-Henry Giles.

of wreckage. The close fight during
the last half century between guns
and armor has been decided. probably
conclusively, by the recent results in
favor of the gun.
This is not the proper time to fur
nish further details; suffice 1t to say
that this result is due to the 42-centi-
meter mortar whose bore is twice as
large as that of the largest caliber
gun of the land artillery. This step
is most interesting and shows great
courage. In the line of naval artillery
