the day when Tom is a United States
senator, and his wife g limousine splashes
mud on her rs she walks to and from
her daily work.
II is right that girl should consider
the blood that runs in the veins Of the
man che marries, and know something
of his family She should find out If he
has clean blood, free from the faint Of
hereditary diseases, and she should
know the stock from which he springs,
whether they are honest, decent people,
who have taught their children TO 60
true and straight, or to be thieves and
crooks
But that is about all that mans
! family amounts To, so far as his eligibility
/ rs a husband comes to. The balance is
all up 20 thc man himself The pretense
| az aristoCraCv is Joke because there are
mighty few American families IN which
YOU can go back three or four generations
without stumbling over q wash tub or a
spade. Position is farce, because the
wheel turns round, and those who are
up today are down tomorrow. 1t does
not even pay to marry for money,
because the youth who was a catch at
twenty-five il often a paIper at fifty,
whle often the poor boy has become a
millionaire by middle age.
Therefore, girl is foolish who lcts the
dead rule her, and pick out husband
for her, or who is bound by the snobbery
of her family. Let her marry the man
she wants, irrespective of who his grand
parents were II is mans future that
matters. not his past, and there is more
profit in making name for yourself
than there is in Dragging about one
that somebody else made.

Efficient Housekeeping
By Laura A. Kirkman

Now that you have the piece Of furni-
ture clear of paint, and scrubbed, you
may proceed 10 put on a coat Of house
hold paint Of the color you desire; let
this coat dry thoroughly and then rub
over the entire surface with a fine
piece of sandpaper.
Apply a second coat Of the same
oolored paint ns tho first, let dry, and
once more sandpaper the entire sur
face until il is as smooth as you can
make IT,
The third, and last, coat should be
Of enamel paint-the same shade which
you have been using. Put this enamel
paint on as thinly as possible and when
it is perfectly dry, rub it down with
powdered punice stone. This is the
way the most reliable furniture com
panies finish wood A coat Of wax
goes on over the pumice-rbbed coat
of enamel paint; or, il preferred, you
may use varnish instead Of wax Again,
you can get soft dull lustre by rubbing
with mixed equal parts Of turpcntine
and linseed oil

great deal more satisfaction out of n

Mt n secondhand store, than If we
spend $40 that we ought not to spend,
on the two new pieces Of furniture.
And the best part Of il all is, that
no matter what color the secondhand
piece Of furniture is, we can paint It
TO match any other furniture we have
This is how:
