 "Husbnnds--How to Cook Them"
 A good many husbands are entirely spoiled by mismanagement in cook
 ing. and so are not tender and good
 Some women go about it as if their husbands were bladders and blow them up. Others keep them con stantly in hot water others let them freeze by their carelessness and indifference. Some keep them In a stew by irritating ways and words. Others roast them. Some keep them in pickle all their lives. It cannot be supposed that any husband will be tender and good managed in this way. sTuruips wouldn't, onions wouldn't, cabbage heads wouldn't and husbands won't; but they are really delicious when properly treated In selecting your husband, you should not be guided by the sllvery appearance as in buying mackerel. nor by the golden tint, as If you wanted salmon. Be sure to select him yourself, as tastes dif- fer. And by the way, do not go to the market for him, as the best Is always brought to the door. It is ar better to have none unless you

mama and papa and brothers all up
on a platform and a great big old
dark room, full OF funny people and
ladies all dressed up In feather and
things. looking up at his own dear
Mama playing and clappins. And
then what do you suppose he thought
was happening when the whole room
came rushing up on the stage and
climbed all over the house and looked
In his bed, and pried into everything
and shook his fathers and mothers
hand.
Mrs. seessr looked just like an old

GINGHAM is THE

successful firm In America import
ing materials for wash dresses, us
that they are the best thing In the
world No other cotton dress fab
ric approaches them in volume OF
sales this year."
Every summer wardrobe that makes
any pretension whatever Of approach
ing completeness should include sew
eral gingham frocks. This Is good
news, because gingham has much be-
sides fashion to recommend it. No
woman is averse to buying inexpensive
clothes that are in the height of fash
ion, and this is one of the things
that still may be said of the gingham
frock. The price of Bingham is now
considerably lower than it has been
for two or three years.
The prettiest dresses of this fabric
are simple, the beauty Of such a dress
lying in the selection of colors and
perhaps an unusual bit Of trimming.
