the French say, the attitude of my in tended's father toward his wife. | should observe whether he treated her as ladyiOve or as a servant whom he did not have to pay, and who could not give notice and quit; whether he show ed her the little attentions that women love, or never noticed her any more than he did the kitchen stove; whether he was tender and affectionate to her. or cold and indifferent whether he gave her pretty clothes and took her to places of amusement, or seemed to think that just being married to him was all the amusement that any woman want ed; whether he gave her regular al. l0wance, or she had to corkscrew every penny out of him.
 And I should very especially note whether prospective mother-in-law look. ed happy and young, and glad she was married, or wore the patient expression of an early Christian martyr who has suffered and been strong.
 For, having made these observa tions, l would not need to be Sherlock Holmes to deduce that my home would be likely to be just the kind of home was visiting in, and the husband or wife l was getting would be most like ly to be the counterpart of my intend eds father or mother.
 For nine times out of ten man makes the kind of a husband his fla ther is, and the woman makes the kind of wife her mother is.
 A girl who has been brought up by & mother who is lazy and idle and a poor manager, is almost invariably the same sort of housekeeper because she has been taught no habits of industry and order. She is a bad cook because she doesn't know what good cooking is.
 A girl who has been reared in ex- travagance and taught to get every thing she can out of her father, will have no pity on her husbands pocket book.
 A girl whose mother has cultivated selfishness in her. and who has been reared to believe that she had divine right to the best of everything, makes the kind of wife who either enslaves her husband or ends in the divorce courts.
 A man who has seen his mother treat ed as drudge will almost surely treat his wife the same way. If he has heard his father speak to his mother as he would not to any other woman on earth, he also will consider politeness wasted on his wife.
 But if he has seen his mother treated as a queen, if he has seen that his mother called out all of his father s chivarly, his attitude toward his wife will likewise be that of knight to his lady.
 Of course, occasionally. there' is the exception that proves the rule, and a girl is so revolted at the kind of a house her mother kept, and the sort of a wife she is, that she becomes the per. feet wife, and boy resents his ia ther's treatment of his mother so bit terly that he showers his own wife with tenderness.
 But nine times out of ten in a mans or girls own home you can find the dope that will put you wise to the kind of husband and wife they will make.

Remedy ToRestore Old

"Wouldst thou, O lord and master" writes Shirley L.," have maidens shy and demure? The remedy is simple.

When thou behOldest an eye too alluring or mouth too curved. turn the other way with a frOwn. Let thy fellowmen do likewise. And To. likewise behold, miracle!

My Neighbor Says:

To make an old brown leather bag look like new, first wash it with soap and water, and then give it good rubbing with flannel moistened in oil. Allow the oil to dry in the leather. Then give it at least three separate coatings of brown liquid shoe polish. Finally. apply a thin coat ing of white shellac. which will provide an excellent polish.

Eat Fish Twice Each Week Is
 Advised
ny cARoLiNE cRAWEoRn

The average housewife has fish once a week. But if she wonders why prices are so high and wishes to help reduce them she Ahould manage to put fish on her menu twice a week.
 This bit of advice comes from Mrs. Evelen Spencer of the United States bureau of fisheries. Mrs. Spencer is in New York for few weeks to lecture to housewives about fish and why they should eat it. She expects to travel all over the United States informing women about this more or less neglected food and urging them to use it more and cook it better.
 "One of the first questions women ask me is What makes fish so high? |" said Mrs. Spencer in her room at the is, Because you only purchase it once week ! You go to your butchers and grocers' and bakers at least five or six has to be satisfied with one visit. That means that fish is bound to be high.
 Then besides the man who keeps the fish market, there is the fisheman to consider. The average fisherman could
 
 there is no market for them he must make the most from the fish which are in demand.
 But aside from the commercial value of fish," continued Mrs. Spencer, there IS another vital reason why housewives should eat more fish. That reason is their own health. Fish has been the food of man all through the ages. Primitive man made fish one of his principal foods. He smoked and dried it for the winter. In Biblical times there was much fish consumed, and the Bible is full of references to it. Probably the two foremost cases are the story of the five loaves and two fishes and the instance in which the Savior asks, Or what man is there of you whom if he ask fish, will he give him a serpent? The Medieval Age gives many instances of fish and fast ing days. But modern man has gotten so he eats fish but once a week, and not always then"
 In regard to the high prices. Mrs. spencer said that the moment there was a greater demand for fish dealers would lower the price. She also suggested that housewives purchase the less ex- pensive fish. which is just as good. Haiibut, filet of sole, bluefish and whitefish are all listed high.
 But butterfish, mackerel, haddock and cod are much cheaper and quite as good if cooked to preserve the juices and delicate flavors," said Mrs. Spencer. Most people cook fish in butter or lard. Fish should be cooked in oil. Then. too. the average housewife cooks her flsh with the same heat as she would use for steak or other fibrous meats. Fish should be cooked quickly so that it will be tender and juicy. The whole trick of cooking fish well is to watch it carefully and not let it become dry"
