that she abides harmoniously with all
her husbands brothers wives-there
may be 10 of them under the family
roof-tree-and ruled by the female
lioness of the hearthstone-the moth
er-in-law.
The French wife has cheerful time
of it, and her husband looks up to her
and is bossed by her in the most de-
ightful manner. She doesn't believe
in the equality of the sexes, not she!
Women are infinitely superior to men
says Madame decidedly. She is her
husbands better half" and she lets
him know it. And wonder of wonders,
he not only admits it, but even re-
joices in the fact.
In Paris | have observed that the
mddle-class wife is forever running
around in the pursuit of social inter
course. Madame doesn't entertain at
home-no indeed, it is too expensive.
And she is nothing if not thrifty. She
beats the Scotch wife altogether there.
Economical is a mild adjective for the
average middle-class Parisienne. Her
form of entertainment is given in the
public park in summer time, whittier
she will summon large collection OF
! her feminine cronies and entertain
them there, free gratis and for moth

erings will be given in some picture

freshments are not, of course, lnclud'
ed in the scheme-but the entertain
ment is regarded as being of decided
ly social nature.
German wives are such models OF
domesticity and good cooking and per
feet housekeeping that little need be
said on that head. No idle gaietles
for them, no social frittering away OF
valuable hours. From her cradle up
the little Gretchen learns the value OF
work. 1t is curious to watch the Ger
man paterfamilias and his good lady
set forth with the whole family for an
afternoon enjoyment. They do not
care to walk very far, for the wife has
sad tendency to "embonpoint.' and
a love for the national beverage has
added stoutness to the husbands
years.
So they take a trolley ride, and en-
camp at the terminus, picnicking
cheerfully Zen famille' by the road
side. For the German takes his pleas
ures decidedly ZEN famille,' and the
German frau likewise. She is dread
fully" domisticated, using the adjective
in its most emphatic Interpretation
But her husband likes her utter do
mesticity He would scorn the giddy
I attractions of the gay little French
charmer. and never risk his domes
tic-loving soul in her keeping.

of affairs, for, as the Old saying goes

young mother to me. II am glad you
like the appearance of that coat, for

difficult to make than dresses, for the
material Is not so easy to handle"
I noticed that she was busily EN-

be the material for pretty peasant

'Tt is so much more economical ant

look of them by actually going into the
sea.
After we have had our bath we gen
erally play a set Of tennis before
luncheon. There are tennis courts
right on the beach, and we play In
bathing suits. 1t seems very Bohe-
milan when one comes to think of it

After luncheon we have short rest
on the verandah Of the hotel, and then
generally an out-of-door dance under
the palms. After that we bathe again

Judge in the morning.

Very late in the afternoon, when
Matthew thought they must have for

with bag of cakes and pitcher OF

and when Matthew had done so the
sheriff said: "If you are telling the

The J. L. Macadam Road.

The word mac adam" was deriv-
ed from the name of John Louden
Macsdam. the father of roads made
of stone broken into pieces which
would pass through ring two and a
half inches in diameter. The Maca-
dem plan was to spread the broken
stone-it was broken by hand in
these days-upon the subgrade and
allow traffic te make it smooth and
compact. Macsdam was a Scotch
engineer who was appointed, just 100
years ago. Surveyor General of the
B istol roads. He was a great be-
lever in the type of road he was said
TO have invented" and spent from
his own pocket several thousands
pounds to demonstrate the correct
ness of his theory that broken stone
spread upon the earth would not be
pushed apart by wheels passing over
it, but would be crushed and COM
pacted. and that no foundation of
large pieces Of stone was needed to
make broken stone road durable.
The House of Commons subsequent
ly reimbursed him. after having be-
come convinced. as a result of inves-
tigation. that he knew what he was
about. and. and that the "macadam"
road became the accepted type of
improved road throughout a consid-
cradle part of the world.
There we're no steam crushers in
Macadam's day. There we're no
binders " Screenings were un-
known. Tneuse OF binders and screen
ings does not make a smoother or
more compact road. but makes the
road smooth and compact when it is
new. The steam rollers immediate
of the broken stone,
with the binders and screenings
'pread over it. is another means Of
the process Of binding
which was done slowly under the in
iuence Of traffic in Macadsm's day.

POET OF NEW ENGLAND
Robert Frost Is Called by the Critics
Star Of Exceptional
Magnitude.

A poet star of exceptional magni-
tude has risen for New England,
says the American Review of Re-
views. Yet it was in old England
that it emerged from a misty hori-
ION, there to be recognized for what
it was. The book which has brought
to its author this measure of fame
bears the title, as felicitous as sig
nificant, North of Boston"
The poet is Robert Frost, born in
San Francisco of New England IA
Their and a Scotch mother, March
20, 1875. The elder Frost was then
newspaper editor in the Pacific
metropolis and was prominent in
local politics. He went thither from
Lawrence, in Massachusetts, he died
when the boy was eleven years old.
and the family returned to their old
home.
His secondary schooling over, Rob-
ert Frost went to Dartmouth college
for while. Not finding what he
felt he wanted, he turned to Har-
ward, there to be no better satisfied.
This breaking away from educational
opportunity made the impression
among family connections of ne'er-
dO-well inclinations, correspondingly
impairing material prospects that
otherwise would have been bright for
him. But his was one of the ma
lures that must grow in their own
way if they are not to break. His
studies away from academic bonds
appear to have given him as much
as he had gathered within. Alto
gether, he managed to assimilate
what he needed. His bent was
toward psychology, and its fruit is
discernible in his poetry.
