ABOUT CONNUBIAL FELICITY Marriage Is a Good Old Institution In

Spite of the Knockers.

If we believed all that we read li» novels we should be sorry for all the world, and especially for the married people. Novelists go to any amount of trouble to get folk married in order to make them miserable. In a novel not a love story, but a real novel, there Is usually something about the husband that gets on the wife’s nerves or something about the wife that gets on the husband's nerves. It may be the way he eats an orange, or his views on feminism, or the way she deals cards, or her ideas on bringing up Uie children—whatever It is, the novelist makes the most of It until he has himself and his married people and all the rest of us unhappy about it. As a matter of fact, you and 1 have every reason to believe that he does not know what he is talking about, or at least is not talking about what he knows. .Marriages may or may not be made in heaven, they may or may not make a sort of heaven, hut they are, for the most part, comfortable and satisfactory affairs. If you consider your friends and neighbors you will be convinced that almost everybody Is married to the right person. If you try to mix them up you wili find that it cannot be done. Mrs. A. never could make waffles to suit Mr B and Mrs. G. would not like the way Mr. 1) trots around in a bathrobe in the mornings, and Mrs. C. is too extravagant tor Mr. A and Mr. and Mrs. 1); like the same sort of shows and music and books, and so it goes. Trifles of differences in habits and tastes do not sec-ni to affect the congeniality of most husbands and wives, and, indeed, these differences seem to exist in remarkably few cases. There are exceptions, but the point is that they are exceptions. If proof were needed of the fact that domestic felicity Is

Her Victory

i 1 ii

By LYNN ROBY MEEKINS "Beautiful?" said C.eorge Wilcox to his sister Elisabeth. "It doesn't even begin to do her justice!” "Oh, we who know her well forget «boul her good looks, you know," I said Elisabeth airily. "She is a great deal more than pretty. She has brains. Yes. indeed. Hello has brains." v\Vhy In the world do you apply such a diabolical name to so angelic a person? he asked. "That easy.” she explained. "Her name Is Heloise, but that was too long for her classmates; so after a due consideration we took the first part of it and called her hello. Sometimes, for abort, we hailed her us the Telephone Girl." "You'll keep her the whole summer, won't you? "If I can: but she says she Is going after two weeks." For several years Elisabeth Wilcox had been telling her family of the beauty and charm of her classmate, Heloise Warding, but she had never been able 10 get her to the Wilcox home for a visit. Both graduated, and then both took the post graduate course, so that now they were quite in society and very much up in the affairs of the world.

When Heloise Warding entered the Wilcox home, within a day she had captivated everybody in it with her loveliness and her liveliness. The inevitable came with a rush. George Wilcox, staid young business man though he was, and the working member of his father’s rich firm, did not allow two weeks to elapse before he spoke. He did it in a blunt, manly fashion that should have won any ordinary woman's heart; but Heloise Warding was an extraordinary one. She told him how she appreciated his compliment, how much honored she felt and how deeply she regretted that she could not say yes. "You have been very open and honest with me,” she went on, "and I think I ought to be as eandid with you, although I fear you will not understand me.” They were out driving. Heloise paused a moment until the horses had crossed a bridge and entered upon a stretch of smooth road. "Y'ou have millions. All about you is wealth until I fairly gasp at the abundance of it. My family—well, a church mouse would be an elephant compared with our fatted calf. I got my education through the kindness of a rich relative. Everything I have in ihe way of dress and rosily pleasure is from the same excellent uncle— everything, until 1 feel as though I were a breathing exhibit of faith, hope and charity, the greatest of these being charity." George Wilcox tried to say something hut somehow Hie words would not get in proper shape. "Now I have my education,” she < ontinued calmly, "ar.d I want, to do something with It. If 1 should become your wife, all these debts of Imnor which rest upon me might be paid; but don't you see that it would be merely transferring the consciousness that haunts me day and night? You would get a charily wife.” "Money is the very smallest questtion in this matter,” he said. “For you it is. For me it. is so big that it fills all space. Cut really we must not quarrel about it. The facts are as I have said, and at present I am immovable. Aud.” she added quickly. "I've told you things that your sister does not know. 1 think she considers me rich. Probably all the other girls at the university had the same idea. It's the habit of our tribe to art as millionaires even when the cupboard Is empty; so I'm sure l need not ask you to keep what I have told you in contidenco." “It will be sacred, and I shall love you all the more. And another thing, you have not said that you will say no. Your reply, you remember, was that you regretted you could not say yes. Please let the propositnon stay as It is. As we say in business, let it remain open for a month or so.” "Oh, you have my answer, my explanation, and my thanks," she said. III When Heloise reached home Robert Day drove her from the station, but he did not seem to interest her as he once did. Tbeir old place seemed more run down than before, but it Interested her more than ever. Robert Day was the local lawyer and real estate man. He was always going to do big things with the Warding estate. Including the marrying of Heloise. Meanwhile he posed as the leading light of the neighborhood, and was satisfied with his greatness. "What have you done for the place?” asked Heloise. "What can you do? You can't take it to town and put it up like butter or a cow, can you?" Day always resented this question of Miss Ward log's and answered it about the same way each time. "Yes, I think you can,” she replied. He stood open-mouthed as she pro- ' oeeded: ‘‘Until further notice I wish to take the place out of your hands and to manage it myself. I have consulted with my family, and they have

not only had he usurped the expected man's place, but his errand as well. Evidently, both had the same end In view. Ford wan Intel view tug lx'in in the other's absence, for the very part tie so much desired. If he hud been able to observe the thorough scrutiny he was undergoing, he would have realized that the demand for music was a pretense. After a while Ford remarked quietly: ''You’ll do!" Leicester felt unable to reply. He owed It to the other man to explain, of Ford would only give him the opportunity. "It was with serious misgivings that I told Smithers 1 would see you," Ford was beginning when Leicester In a determined manner broke in. "Before you go any further, Mr. Ford, I must tell you that you have made a mistake. I am not the man you were expecting, and 1 am not here because you sent for me. Apparently 1 happened to call just at the time you had appointed and I was taken for him. The strangest part of it is that 1, 400. am an actor, and came to ask for the part which 1 think he must have been intended.” "Rather a mixed-up state of affairs!" Ford replied. "If you act the part as well as you look It. you are the man I want. Do you know, I have been looking for the right man—a typical young American—for weeks! The man 1 expected today was one my manager has been urging me to try for days past. Without even knowing the fellow, I feel sure I shouldn't like him. I'm glad that he failed to keep the appointment, or that Smithers ;ouldn’t find him—whatever it was that prevented his coming. It will give me great pleasure to phone that self-sat-isfied manager of mine that I shall not need his protege, as I have already found a most satisfactory man for the part.” "Would you mind telling me the name of the unlucky fellow whom I am supplanting? asked Leicester. "An obscure man," replied Ford, "by the name of Leicester—Miles Leicester.”

Got the Earth Some months ago excavations were being made for new- tracks on the line of a certain famous railway. At one point a nearby resident obtained permission to remove a quantity of turf to n-sod his premises, the section boss being instructed to notify the excavating "gang" when the resident should have secured all he desired. The "Hiberhian^s" report is as follows: "The man that wanted the earth has got it.”

Not to Drink Strickland Gillilan, the lecturer and the man who pole-vaulted into fame hy his “Off Ag'in, on Ag’in, Finnegan" verses, was about to deliver a lecture In a small Missouri town. He asked the chairman of the committee whether he might have a small pitcher of ice water on the platform table. “To drink?" queried the committeeman. “No,” answered Gillilan. “I do a high-diving act.” high-diving act."

Returned the Envelope The treasurer of the Newburyport waterworks sent out his annual bills one year by mail. In the corner of the envelope was the customary request: “After five days return to Newburyport waterworks, Newburyport. aMss." What was his surprise to have a woman come into his office live days afterward and pass him an empty envelope, with the remark: "Here is your envelope, but what you want of it is more than I can see."

(From Judge) Reflections from Miladi's Mirror (From Judge) Uneasy lies the woman’s head that wears last year’s crown. Handsome is as handsome dress. What is Worth doing, is Worth doing swell. God save the king's blue, If It rains. Figures rannot lie—but they may ho padded to tho limit. Faint art oft makes fair lady. One good turban deserves another. A hat, a hat, my kisses for a hat! Chicken feathers come hatward to j roost. Haste makes untidy waist. She hath donned what she could. It’s a lone train that has no trimming.

Any Time (From Judge) Nell—Eliza went to an astrologer to 1 find out when was the best time to get 1 married. Stell—What did he tell her? Nell—He took one look at her and told her to grab her first chance.

Wine, Woman and Song (From Judge) A man called upon a physician for advice. The physician diagnosed the case as one of nerves and prescribed accordingly. The fee was five dollars and the prescription two dollar*. The man hail only five dollars He said to the physician: “Doc, five dollars Is all 1 have. Lend me two dollars and HI have the p.e scription filled.’’ Ihe physician gazed at the man for a moment, then said, "I have made a mistake In my diagnosis. Your nerve Is all right. You are afflicted with an enlai*«.d gall. There is no remedy for that.’*

Notes cmd Comment Of Interest to Women Readers

NOVEL USE FOR OLD CASTER. With Tiny Thumb Pota Filled With ; Ferns It le An Ornament. Here’s a new one for the woman who . entertains a manta for inventing uses for useless objects. The old allver canter which stands in the attic is not exactly uaelees, to be sure, for it has come back into vogue again. But by thla time most of ita appointments are mining and few house-keepers oevre to uee it fur its original purpose. The Inventive soul, who has found a use for 1L recommends cleaning It up with a mixture of whiting and ammonia aud furnishing it with tiny thumb pots filled with ferns. This, she Insists, makes an impressive ornament. Whether impressive or not, it Is very possible to believe that the fine tracery of the terns against the polished silver would be attractive and that it would mak* a pretty centerpiece for the dinner table. Washing Vella Tulle veils that have become limp may be renovated by pneeotng them with a warm iron, haring fin *, placed a handkerchief between the iron sod tbe tulle. Lace veils and scarfs should be soaked in a strong lather of white soap and soft water and allowed to simmer gently in a saucepan over a fire for about twenty minutes. 1 The veils should' be lifted out and squeezed tightly, but not rubbed, then rinsed out In cold water. The second lot of water should be faintly tinged with blue and have in It a small quantity of hot starch. Clear the veils of any particles of the starch by clipping well between the hands: then pin on a clean w-hlte cloth and allow to dry. In this man- 1 ner they will look as fresh and clean as when new, and they may be washed any number of times. Veils should always be Ironed with a handkerchief or piece of tine linen between ns they are much better aad wear j longer If they do not come In direct ( contact with the Iron.

Dinner Tables. Smaller dinner tables are now in I vogue. The why of this is. that vegetable dishes and other serving dishes are seldom placed thereon. They are being relegated more and more to serving tables at the side. In this way a large table is no longer necessary, and even for large families they are smaller than formerly. With the fashion of serving everything, even roast, from the side, it Is possible to decorate the table more effectively and to have it remain I sightly throughout the meaL

Why They’re Short. "Marriage, said George Ade. at a ; dinner in New York, ’’is a wonder- i ful thing.” Mr. Ade laughed a cynical bachelor’s laugh. "Marriage,” he went on, "changes ; people so. I met a man the other 1 day who had recently married and ' he looked so different that I said: “ 'Why my boy, I thought you wero 1 tall. But you’re shorter than when i I saw you last Y'ou are actually short ; now.’ “'Yes, I am short,’ he returned. | Tye married and settled down, you j know.’"

Tips on Ironinc. Iron laee embroidery on the wrong ' side only. Iron frills, lace, bands, sleeves and ] collars first. Iron the main part last, being very j careful not to crease the work already ! done. Iron fine silks and muslin through j a piece of cambric. Iron handkerchiefs and serviettes j whilst they are quite damp, finishing j In the cen'er. Iron body linen on the right side only and table linen both sides, wrong . side first.

To Utilize Pieces of Soap. Small pieces of toilet soap should 1 be aaved from the soap dishes, and 1 when a sufficient quantity has been ! collected It should bo cut Into shav- ! ings and dissolved in boiling water Measure the soap, and to each cupful put two cupful* of water. When the soap 1* dissolved, add enough fine oatmeal to make a stiff batter. The mixture Is then turned Into mold*, and when dry makes an excellent soap for the skin.

Brush the Eye Brews. Brushing the brows several times a day In the direction In which they should grow will prevent them from growing together. It Is possible for you to have the superfluous hairs removed with the tweeters though the hairs usually grew again.

Keep The Bhsetdsrs Straight A splendid exercise for keeping the shoulders straight Is to Us flat on the floor, face down, and raise the body, keeping it rigid ail the while, on the hands and toes. Perform this exercise twice a day.

When crocheting and one has no pockets to hold the t>aU or spool ol cotton or yarn, take s long hatpin sad run through Ui* spool, then stick It Into a cushion.
