"A wife ought to please her husband and
be kind to him." continued Mrs. Hager.
She should make good meals for him,
especially pies with a good top crust and

green from which the dainty pink and
white ices with cake were served by

WASHINGTON, Feb 24-That there is little hope for the passage of any legislation except the princi- pal supply bills before the adjourn ment a week from tomorrow, is con ceded by democratic senate leaders. There is no prospect of passing the rivers and harbors bill in it's present form. It will probably be replaced with a thirty million dollar joint re- solution to carry on existing projects. The senate today passed the postof- flee appropriation bill carrying ap- proximately $323,000.OOO. The agri- cultural bill was taken up tonight The government ship purchase bill is rumored to be experiencing a spirited revival. This followed a conference between the president and Senators Fletcher and Simmons, who said that a report would be made to the sen ate before Monday.
 Prospects for conservation legisla- ton are declared hopeless. The Philippine enlarged self government measure might be passed if it were possible to do so in a few hours which is doubtful.
