 One of the most useful and attrac- tive of the new devices evolved for the housewife's convenience is the introduction of household business stationery. The advertising columns of the magazines are now calling att tention to this inexpensive supply of paper and envelopes which has several points in it's favor.
 To begin with, every woman of us hates to use our best, de luxe sta- tionery for the purpose of sending a sample to a department store to be matched, or instructions to the lce- man to send a corrected bill. Yet every one of us dislikes the cheap quality, easily torn package papers which generally suffice for these do- nestle business notes. We have gen orally compromised by using half sheets left from spoiled whole sheets --@half sheets with one jagged edge and a general air of careless haste.
 The new home business stationery is a paper of clear white, smooth firm finish. Printed at the top or each sheet and on the flap of the envelope is the housewives s name ana address, or the address only, as the prefers. Three lines may be had, ana these are printed in small block 4et- ters In a very dark blue ink. Here is the second good point--leSiplllty No chance of the mall oraer nouse misspelling our names, all to illegl- bly written in many cases. No chance to read the name of the street wrons; or mistake the number. It Is printed Tn letters that make even the queer est, unbelievable of names as clear as Jones or Smith!
 The average home-maker frequent- ly has a business cerrespon9ence as Why shouldn't she have her honle business stationery? One hundred envelopes and 200 sheets of psper spHr for a dollar--it is certainly reason ahle. Some manufacturers now otter an engraved paper, instead of print ed, for an extra dollar.
 This paper solves the, problem or or family Correspondence also. It ls 50 Inexpensive that it can be used free- W: vet it Is strictly personal, as the cheap package papers are not

 If you do not mind, Winifred, I would rather not say anything more as to where Rankin got his money.

American Women Must Keep Young We'll Dressed Raise Family. Be Always Bright And Entertaining And Keep Up Social End In Order To Hold
 Perfect Husbands

beguile the tired business man with her little budget of gossip. It is the wife who has to read up on the subjects in which husband is inter ested so that she can talk to him about stocks, or the grocery trade, or golf or baseball Any American husband would think himself exceed ingly ill-used if he didn't have a wife who would make a vaudeville entertainment of herself or his en- tertainment of an evening. That's just part of her job, as he sees it.
 An American man expects his wife to make his social position for him. He expects her to be good and n!mble climber who will keep her visiting list ready to check up with his handbook.
 He expects her to have sufficient shrewdness and ambition o>lzeep pace with him and to help him by getting to know the right people, and by be- longing to the right clubs, and having the right sort of house on the right street, and giving the right sort of entertainments. Half the time the American husband doesn't know by sight his wife's friends, and he has lO DO i4AALO0uCGu LO bAS u00lo dl HIS own dinner table. His name would never be in the society column of the newspapers If hsi wife didn't get 1t there. He hasn't time to bother with the social end of the game. He de- pends on his wife to keep that up.
 The American husband shoves the whole burden of raising family onto his wife's shoulders. He is too busy to bother with forming his children's characters an developing their minds. He considers he has done his full duty when he pays for their sup port.
 So he leaves to the mother the ques- tion of their. discipline. He let's her spoil or neglect them. He lets her pick out the schools they attend. He let's them grow up, to all intents and purposes, fatherless, and if then turn out all right he takes the credit for it, and if they turn out badly, he planes her for 1t.
