is GREATEST Gift
Happiness Chief Characteristic
of the Ideal Wife.
Beauty, ane other Personal At
tributes, insignificant Compared
With That Supreme Distinction.

Which is the best ingredient a
woman can provide towards the max
ing Of a happy marriage?
Clever housekeeping one woman
remarked. Another joined in the dis
eussion with the opinion that common
sense was the most necessary ngredi-
ent. "A sweet temper" IAN under
standing of men," "femininity' were
suggested.
Then the one man present gave his
verdict.
What men like best in women is
happiness" he said.
There is a profound truth behind
these words, casually uttered at a tea
table discussion.
Unhappiness in marriage rarely
comes to a happy m The high
spirits, the merry smile, the alert con-
tentment of the happy m are far
removed from the superficial vivaeity
of the sparkling woman with no inner
reserve of strength.
To be happy is TO imply a certain
self-reliance and it is this quality of
Independent happiness which men de-
light to have in their wives, and which
makes, beyond all other things, for
happiness in marriage.
1t is the woman who knows how to
be happy without a husband who is GO
Ing TO be most happy with a husband.
Ii Is the woman WI knows how to be
irritable, full of grievances and exact
ing demands without a husband who
is going to be exactly the same woman
after marriage as she was before.
Men dislike scene They are
frightened of hysteria. 1t is an i'm
mense relief to any man to know that
in his wife he has a ha~ppy-hearted
woman who will not become sunk in
melancholy if his business takes him
away for several weeks. who will not
tell him that her evening has beer
spoiled because he comes home late
from his work.
Beauty, intellect, personality, youth
Itself are nothing beside this rare and
beautiful gift of simply being happy.
The interesting ora with her
moods. her emotional demands, her in
sistence that she must be all in all to
the man she loves, often brings disas-
ter to marriage. But the happy wom-
an gives her own happiness. 1t is in
fectious.
The woman who wants to make a
happy marriage should begin to prac-
fice happiness-when still in the
scheolroom.-Barbara Dane in he

Shadows

Electric power and light within the
city of Berlin are rather expensive.
The price of electric light has tripIed
since the war, even when expressed in
terms of gold marks. Before the war.
and during the early months of the
struggle, Berlin was probably the best
lighted city in Europe. The Germans
are fond of silver and gold decora-
tons for their cafes and. restaurants,
as this decoration shows to best adj
vantage under bright lights. Some
prominent cafes and restaurants in
Berlin have their ceilings literally Gov
cred with sockets for electric light
bulbs. The sockets are, for the most
part, empty now. and only a few
bulbs are burning in TIE gigantic
crystal chandeliers in the evening.
The street lights are turned off after
the theater-going crowds are off the
streets. and for the remainder of the
night; only an occasional street light
is left burning. This is the most no.
ticeable evidence of the effect of wan
on economic life to be found in Ger
nan cities.-Milwaukee Journal.
