BEFORE HUBBY
 COMES HOME

You are all that I have to live for,
 All that I want to love,
 All that the whole world holds for me
 Of a faith in a world above.
 You came-rny heart awakened seemed
 to be born anew.
 The charm of perfect manhood real
 ized in you"
 It is often difficult matter for man to. forget a girl with whom he has been smitten though another has wooed and won her, and a that The sensible philosophical fellow tears her image from his bosom though his heart be at the root.''
 The man who is lacking in the right of his old sweetheart. He is like a moth that would hover about the flame and wouldF keep her ever in re- membrance of him by continually put ting himself in her way. The poor young man who has his daily bread to earn has surcease from grfeving in hard work, which brings him forget fitness.
 It is the discarded lover with plenty of money and nothing to do who wan ders into mischief's path. He does not think it aIniss to stroll past his old sweetheart's cottage home and stop at the gate for a chat to learn how she's getting along. He sits on her porch recalling events of. the days that are gone. It is this sort of man who al- ways evades invitations to wait until hubby comes home. He avoids meet ing her alleged lord, making all sorts or excuses, which it never occurs to an innocent woman to disbelieve.
 He is the serpent who enters Eden.
 If hef ails to wreck the home it is cer- tainly not his fault. Men of this type who call repeatedly and unwanted, inn <1H woman who fears to let him know she would rather have his room than his company because he invariably leaves before hubby comes, are dangerous persons The longer she keeps from calling the matter to her husbands attention the worse she is off.
 There are some neighbors who will gossip whHther they have reason or not. No young wife should, feel deli cacy or be backward in telling one- time admirer of this type that her af- ternoons are not for her to receive her home, they must come when her husband is at leisure to receive and do h,s share of entertaining them
 This course of action would put a stop to the inclination of dishonor- able free lance to think of rifiing an other mans home of it's honor and it's treasure. Many innocent and thought less women are drawn into snares through their reluctance to speak out bravely or deny themselves to such callers.
 An honorable mans interest in girl should cease with her marriage to an- other. If it appears to increase after she has become a bride, it should be a warning that he is deliberately put ting temptation in her way. He knows the husband would not tolerate his calls The man with no business who can drop in any time Tor a chat takes a mean and unfair advntge of the mn who has to work. It is for the wife to guard her husbands interests sacredly,3 realize the position in which she is placing not only him, but her self It is not a compliment for. a wife to have an old lover still hanging around.

 TODAY'S POEM
BEDOUIN SONG.
.~~~~~~~

From the dessert come to thee On stallion shot with fire; And the winds are left behind Tn the speed of my desire. Under thy window I stand, And the midnight hears my cry; I love thee, love thee. With a love that shall not die
 Till the sun grows cold, And the stars are old,
 And the leaves of the Judgment
 book unfold! Look from thy window and see My passion and my pain; lie on the sands below, And I faint in thy disdain. Let the high winds touch thy brow With the heat of my burning sigh. And melt thee to hear the VOW Of love. that shall not die
 Till the sun grows cold, And the stars are old,
 And the leaves of the Judgment
 book, unfold! My steps are nightly driven. By the fever in my breast, To hear from thy lattice breatheds The word that shall give me rest, Open the door of thy heart, And open thy chamber door, And my kisses shall touch thy lips The love that shall fade no more, Till the sun grows cold,
 And the stars are old, And the leaves of the Judgment
 book unfold!

Instant Hair Stain Better Than Slow
 ''ReStOrerS''

H0StOrerS'
 Some folks would have you believe that they have discovered some mar velous combination that will restore the color to gray, streaked or faded haoir, without staining it. No such preparation has ever been discovered. Many preparations are advertised in this deceiving way-but they all de- dend upon sulphur, lead silver or other dangerous minerals for gradual ly dyeing the hair.
 There is only one preparation so far as we know that is entirely free from all of these highly dangerous and poi sonous chemicals. That preparation is 'Brownatone.'' It is so easy and safe to apply that the wonder is that anyone ever uses anything else,
 If the gray shows on your temples or is streaking your hair-if the ends of your hair are lighter than the bal ance, or if for any reason you wish to stain all or part of your hair--try 'fBrownatone.''
 FREE Trial Bottles are not to be on request from the laboratories of 2 Street, Covington, Ky. Send the Cou and packing), and try this wonderful
 ''Brownatone" is sold in regular S giStS everywhere.

TRAIN GIRLS FOR MARRIAGE,
 SAYS IDA FARRELL,

In the April Woman's Home Com panion Ida Tarbell has an interesting article entitled "Give the Girl a Chance" in which she asks why a girl should not be trained for what she will most probably do in the. world
 "Of every one hundred American girls who live3to be twenty-five years old eighty-seven marry (eighty-six and seven-tenths, to be exact). One can form a fairly accurate judgment of the proportion of these eighty-sev- en who have been prepared for their adventure by considering the training of the marriageable girls he knows in various classes. Probably not over ten per cent. have had system atic and welI-considered education in the tech. nique, relations and significance of the varied tasks which will be thrown upon them. It is not to the needs of the eighty-seven that modern in< dustrial and technical education looks. It is to that of the thirteen out of the one hundred who will presumably be thrown on their own resources. Parents very generally encourage this. They want their daughters prepared to take care of themselves if anything happens The girl encourages it: she wants to be independent if any thing happens Generally speaking, both parents and girls look to the high school, and in few cases the col lege, to do the dttirE. If she has graduated she can be expected to earn her living without further ex- pense. The expectation is out of all proportion to the realization
