But if you proclaim from the house
tops that she is a second Hetty Green,
and that you do not know what you
should do " Heaven had not blessed
you with a wife who was such a mar
velous ~financier, she will pinch every
nickel until the buffalo squeals with
agony, and a canary bird will starveh to

Likewise, if you desire to feast sump-
tuously every day, never criticize your
wife's cooking, Instead, boast that she
is a chef who is worth her weight in
gold, and she will make a burnt offer
Ing. of herself over the kitchen stove,
trying to sustain her reputation.
In the fifth place, son, give your wife
a square deal. In money and liberty.
1t is the idea that their husbands are
not playing a fair game with them that

what you can give her 10 matter how

real business partner and that what she
does helps, and she will cheerfully work
her fingers to the bone for you.
In the sixth place, son, show your
wife some appreciation. jolly her along
Never forget that you are her audience

Remember that a wife is the only
laborer on earth who works for her

to congratulate herself on having got

for the privilege Of being a slave,
So as you are strong, be merciful.

And now while Freddie was saying
his last farewells to Elizabeth, his little
cne-time playmate, and while his every
will at times. was following her on her
journey away from him, things were
progressing In Mapleville--things that
would have hurt and Inundated Fred

affair between Estrelda, his wife, and
Arthur had reached "a point where it
was conservative to catl 1t a 'flirta-

as soon as the lamps were lit, the
Smither's garden gate would open and
In would come the son Of the pro-
prietor of Mapleville's Leading depart

that showed him to be at home. Esther,
the maid, might glover her disapproval,

A young man who is about to be
married has asked me II / can give
him a few pointers about how to man
age a wife.
Surely, son
In the first place, remember that no
man should be permitted to get married
until he can prove that he has kissed
the Barney stone. Rlattering a woman
before marriage is a matter Of taste
and discretion. tFlattering her after
you marry her is a matter of self pres
ervation.
Always remember that women do not
care one rap for deeds. Words are
the only thing that count with them.
a man may slave himself to death try
ing TO make life easy and luxurious for
his wife. But II he tells her that she is
getting fat, or is too old to wear a sport
hat or praises another woman's taste,
she will doubt his love, and consider
herself a martyr to matrimony.
On the contrary, II he assures her
every day that she is getting younger,
and more beautiful, and that no other
woman compares with her, he may
starve her and neglect her, and mis-
treat her, and she will still consider
herself the luckiest of her six.
In the second place, son, never for
where but you cannot drive her an inch.
II you wish to be master Of your own
house acquire the reins by subtlety and
not by force. Don't try the bluff Of
the domestic tyrant. Women called
that long ago. Wives will not take
orders, but they win accept sugges-
lions, and il you want your wife to
eat out Of your hand make her believe
that she thought first Of doing the thing
that you want done.
In the third place, son, remember
that while a man frequently recognizes
his faults and reforms them, a woman
never does. She may be beguiled into
doing better, but she never admits that
she did wrong.
Criticlzing a wife's faults is like cast
Ing a boomerang that comes back and
Annihilates the one who threw 1t. Mat
rimony is no place for candor for a
man 1t is an opportunity for tact to
do its great and perfect work.
To tell your wife that her new gown
ls a nightmare, and her hat a millinery
horror, means that you will have to buy
her new one To accuse her Of being
high tempered will p~recipitate the storm
that you dread, but II you will tell
her that she is of the style that looks
best In simple clothes, or praise some
particular dress, she will wear It until
there isn't a thread left of 1t, and If you
dwell upon her marvellous self-control
she will bite her tongue off rather than
say the sharp words that rise to her
lips.
In the fourth place, son, never forget
that women always try to live up to
their blue china. Therefore, praise your
wife for the virtue you wish her to
have and she will acquire ii.
II you desire her to be economical,
DO not knock her because of her ex-
lravagance. No woman economical be-
rause her husband grumbles over the

Uranus seems to f~oreshadow re-

may become unpopular with the people.
Contracts or written agreements

threatening to success.
The wearing of new clothing should
be lucky today, according to ancient
lore.
This should be an exceedingly happy
wedding day, for the stars presage long
life and prosperity.
Many changes in organization are
foreshadowed. These nay affect gov
eminent business as well as the army
and navy. The planetary direction that
indicates this tendency for change will
work toward efficiency in business cor

WHY SADNESS IN OLD AGE7
Zoo True That the Two Things Are
Frequently Associated, but.

II Is a common belief that as a per-
son advances in years he becomes not
only a wiser but a sadder man. That
one should gain knowledge as he grows
older is thoroughly In order. but that
he should become increasingly bur-
dened with the cares of life and sad
dened because of hopes that have not
been fulfilled issnot.a necessary condi-
ton,
1t Is true that the clouds that gather
about4the setting sun do take a sober
coloring from an eye that has kept
watch In mans mortality, to para
phrase Wordsworth a bit, and that the
thought of constantly lessening aetivi-
ty and prospects which age entails Is
enough to make one pause and consid-
er. But consideration that goes far
enough will reveal that all time, wheth-
er of this world or another, Is an I'M
ending opportunity for progression.
After all, the whole matter Of age Is
something that has to do with the mind
rather than the body. And when the
body begins to fail when gray hairs
appear, the step becomes less springy,

PEACH SEASON ON THE BEACHES, TON
az RET,Tw RRnWN.

Whoever imagined that peaches
only grew on trees mas never visited a
summer resort.
This beautiful assortment of the
1913 seasons productions in bathing
suits would bring the blush of shame
to any ordinary peach and all il with
a scense OF being hoplessly outclass-
ed.
AS beach-strolling and bathing be-
m lore and more the darling
sport of society the fashion creators
give more attention to its proper cos
tuming-with most successful re-
suits.
The hideous bathing cap, and the
unspeakable, full-skirted, elbow
sleeved atrocity of our falsely mo
dest' days is giving place TO really
beautiful costumes combining Free
dom of movement for the body with
elective color, line and texture which
constitute beauty.
Here are three costumes in the new
mode. AT the left is a w~ell-design-
ed costume of black, waterproof taft
feta, with befriled knickers. The
bathing cape is Of green and white
rubber, and the hat is rubber-brim-
med with a gray cretonne crown.
The demoiselle with the beach bag
is f~etehingly froeked in electric blue
jersey with beige colored embroidery,
and her bathing turban is a flaming
mass of scarlet rubber lowers.
