BUTTERFLY WIVES.

'I d be butterfly, born in a bower,
 Kissing every rose that was pretty
 and sweet.
 I'd never languish for wealth or for
 power,
 I'd never sigh to see slaves at my I'd be a butterfly. if to live but for an
 hour,
 Dying when all fair things had faded
 and gone.''
 The man who falls in love with the bright, sparkling, butterfly maiden should expect that, as a wife, she will possess the same qualities. Life will roll on smoothly enough for him if he has the wherewfth to gratify her love for adornment and an idle life sur rounded by luxury.
 If he has his fortune to make by his own exertions and must think carefully over the expenditure of every dollar, the butterfly wife is apt ta hang like burden of lead about his neck.
 The aim of the right kind of hus- band is to make his wife happy. If following the frivo1ities Of fashion is her highest aim and pleasure he who has welded her has a hard row to hoe; his money goes out fc~ useless things which could well have been gotten along without. The poor fellow is toil-
 
 being that he is permitted to be the slave of a woman's unreasonable whims.
 How much wiser it is for the man whose heart has gone out to the doll ed-up girl to say to her in the early days of their courtship. Daisy, if you marry me I want you to understand that you are not going to get a rich man. The girl I make my wife will be obliged, in all probability, many a time to deny herself comforts to meet the bills for necessities. She cannot frftter away hard earned cash for use less party gowns, jewe1ed combs, bracelets and slipper buckles; patron ize theatres, flower stands, soda water l counters, only occasionally. She will have to put her own dresses together, trim her own hats and if hard luck overtakes me buckle to and do her own housework. I am willing to lay a certain sum aside from my earnings to devote to your pleasure, taking her about as in the days when were single, but am willing to cut out my part of the pleasure outing, handing her the money instead, if she needs it for 8 new pair Of shoes He should demand that the butter l fly sweetheart look the marriage pro posal from him square1y in the face and from every viewpoint, taking time to weigh well the situation before making her decision
 Trying to keep up with the wants i of butterfly wife has been the r11ina- tion of many a good man, being the rock which has foundered his life bark. If husbands were truthful and frank with their wives regarding their incomes they would find that the wives whom they considered frivolous would rise nob1y to the occasion showing strength of character as sur prising as it was undreamed by the troubled husband who had waded beyond his depth in the waters of financial distress. Be candid with the girl you love before marriage and with your wife after wedIock and there will be no frowns or tears when you feel it incumbent to explain to her that you cannot afford a certain bit of luxury she has set her heart on The butterfly wife is not always a gfddy creature. It is really the husbands fault if he leads her to believe she Is to feed on rose leaves forever after ! marriage.

EXTREMELY DIFFIDENT

Dear Miss Ldbbey:-
 Would you answer a question or two for a girl living so far away as We'll fleet, Neb.? If so, kindly let her know. Question 1: What should she talk about when she is coming home from church with a young man? Answer Too much involved in this question; topics of conversation are too varied; there are no set rules to follow. Any girl who makes such a query is pre- sumalbIy too young for male company Question 2: What should you say when a young man whom you love asks you to marry him? Answer-Re- fer him to your parents or guardians,
 modest1y admitting that his suit meets with your favor, but you cannot say more until he has their permission to speak further. Question 8: What should a young girl say if young man tried to kiss her? Answer-Re- 1 blke him. No gentleman offers rude ness to young lady.

SPORTING WITH
 GIRLS HEARTS

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 I am a young girl of eighteen and
 have been keeping company with
 young man four years my senior for seven months. I love him dearly and
 he said I was t51e only one he cared for and sometimes he acts as if he
 cared for me and again he doesn't; some weeks he comes every night and some he only comes twice and when
 he is not with me he goes with other girls. My girl friend wants me to quit
 him. She said he did not care for me.
 He told her that he was going with other girls, and asked him and he said he intended to go with them and still come to see me. He cared more for me. Now what am I to do? This girl likes him and is jealous and tries to break us up, but I did. not believe her until the other night. We were walking around and we passed him with another girl. Now, Miss Libbey, I do love him and cannot bear to have him love another; it hurts me when I see and hear this. He asks me to tell him what [ have zoe the blues about 1 and won't, for hate to let him know it hurts me. never did quarrel with him. What shall I do?

 for it is rather long Please print

 WORRIED GIRL. It is not what 8 man says but what 1 he does that tells whether he is really
 interested in Q particular girl or not. | Lip service does not amount to much.
 If this young man loved you he would not stand a chance of losing you by going with other girls. A spirited girl
 would invite other young men to call
 upon her and go out with them. Re-
 member you have no claim upon a.
 man who has not asked you to marry him. No girl should give her heart to 1 a wi moi SIxnf7 hay fo. 3aks- Icome his wife. She should mot place
 her hopes upon one who parades the
 fact that he is a free-lance- If he flowed you he would not be trying to please other girls.

 And huns his lay of courtship o'er;
 But when he finds the flower he loves, He settles there and roams no more.''

HARPrE's DANCE

A DREAM THE
 HARPIE'S DANCE It was years ago when the leaves were green ] And rnerriIy the 1fnnets played I sought, amid the glowing sheen, My love; and my eyes had never seen
 A purer maid. Her hair was Chephren-guarded gold, Her eyes were dawn and olive trees; No pearls her throat dared fold, With red rose petailed lips she told
 Sweet melodies. walked with her thru the moon1it street,
 And we paused at the sound of a violin, For we heard the tread of dancing And gibbous music came to greet
 Us from within. As we watched the ghost1y dancers sway,
 Why did hold my loved one so :? And aloud above the noise and fray I heard her voice beside me say,
 Its strange, you know A-sudden turned and hoarseIy said, As laughter echoed shri1I and thin ''It's a sound of the grinning, dancing dead'' Then would have called my love and
 Her from the din But the weird, dark outlined rakish mall Entranced her with the reeIing waltz A strange inpulsive fearful call Allured my love into the hall
 Of passions false. When-o' CT the wan and unreal sight A veil of gauge so deftly crept, Renaking the world in magic light, And there, with her hand in mine all night

Tailored skirts to wear with the new suspender girdles and mann3zh' shirt waists show the most careful treat ment in their design and development. A model that is easily within the ca pabihties Of the home dressmaker is shown here, having an inverted pleat at the back. There may be either plain suspenders or suspender bodice. Me dflarn size requires 2x yards 54-inch serge, while for the shirt waist 2H yards 36-fnch linen are needed.
 The length of the skirt should be de- cided before the cutting process begins so that special notice may be taken of the small %" psrforations in the pat- tern provided for making the skirt shorter If desired. First, however, the serge is folded and on the lengthwIse fold the front gore is laid, so that it will be without a seam when finished If the bodice is to be used instead of the plain gird1e this is also placed on a lengthwise fold of the material To the left of the front gore. and within an inch or two from the edge Of the serge. the back gore is arranged. on a lengthwise thread of material The shoulder strap is sandwiched between the point where the side and back gOreS meet OPpOS1Io lno AfOAS SOfS'
 The smaller sections of the pattern, such as pockets, stay and belt. are laid on a lengthwise fold of the goods. For the habit back, instead of the inverted pIeat, cut off back edge of back gore as inch outside of line of slot perforations. If made with plain suspenders or with out suspenders at all. place belt on ma terial with back edge on a lengthwise or crosswise fold.
 A note of color may be added to the shirt waist by binding the edge of the high. close collar and the back cuffs with plain blue linen. The fash ion is very prominent now, having been introduced upon some of the latest ar- rivals from Paris.

A Nourishing soun.

Get 10 cents worth of shin bones from the butcher. Wash them and put them into a large saucepan, cover them well with cold water, bring to a boil, and let them continue boiling for seven to eight hours. As the water boils away, make it up with boiling water from the kettle It is best to do this part the day before the soup is required. Turn into an enamel bowl for the night
 Next morning remove all the fat and put the soup back into the sauce pan with a large onion, carrot and turnip, and one pint of split peas, and boil for three hours. Add salt and pepper to taste, and serve with dried mint and crouton.

Macaulay was self-shaver-though
not with q safety-and the woeful re-
suits are recorded in his biography.
When he sailed for India and his
chambers were cleared, there were
found between fifty and sixty strops
hacked into strips and splinters, and
innumerable razors in every stage Of
disrepair. At one time he hurt his
hand and had to go tc the barber.
After the operation he asked the
charge. "Oh, whatever you usually
give to the person who shaves you,"
was the answer. in that case" said
Macaulay. Il should give you a great

will fit the neighborhood and the
pocketbook.

Odd in trim, but exceptionally neat

beautiful five-room bungalow. The
size Is q feet 6 inches by 40 feet

prettiest bungalow in town. and the
owner admits that there may be some
truth in the statement

nice, and the shape Of the roof all
help. There are differences among
the windows that vary the window
proposition and help to keep up inter
est. The different parts of the house
are not made all in one mold as for
merly, but the general design is ad-
hered to, without repetition. In this
window scheme there are single win
dows, double windows, and one frame
holds five two-sash windows separated
only by the sash-weight boxes, but ev-

around with the same plain white
casing.
There also is a similarity in glaz-
ing, but 1t is difficult to find two win
dows that are exact duplicates of each
other. There is general combination
Of large lights in the lower sash and
small lights in the upper sash, but
they all fit into the perspective to
take their proper place in the COM
plete picture.
There Is considerable width to the
front steps and the front walk. The
front door also belongs to the new

Such large windows interfere with

The modern idea is to make living
