KNOW LITTLE OF BUSINESS

Foolish and Criminal Errors Made by the Wives and Daughters of Men Who Hava Left Fortunes.

Thrre may be greater virtues In the Iiueoveelon of the married woman, but there are few greater and more excellent talents than that of knowing how apend money, not to waste It. The wife of one of our foreign ambasuadors, whose husband was about to leave her on a long Journey, was given check book, which, unfortnately and unwisely, she had never had before, with sum of money in the bank. On her husband's return he asked her If she had had money enough. “Oh, yes,’’ she replied. "And, Indeed, I have half a do sen checks left;" her Idea being that each check stood for as much money as she chose to Indicate upon It, without reference to any epeclflo deposit or anything apparently by the capacity of the vaults of the bank; while the bank ofOclals, who had her husband’s greatly larger account, had suffered her to draw what she pleased. This little lady was no more unaeu minted with business processes than another, v bo, seeing that when her husband wanted money, he drew a check— he being absent, and it being ncceaaary to meet the suhacrlptlon to a charity—and when other people were in no end of a scrape In conseuquence. she at once declared that aha had done it, as she and her husband had always bad their purse in common. ▲ very Uttle Instruction would have prevented any such exhibition. Facts All Should Know. Knowing these instances to be facts. It Is hardly necessary to emphasise the statement that every girl should be tn unht the use of a check book, even If she has only a single dollar tn the bank. Where a woman can and does have funds to draw upon, it Is Inexcusable that so simple a matter should be neglected. although It probably Is neglected Just because It Is so simple Still, ons can not help wondering how a man, who Is going to leave his daughter or his wife many thousands, does not have her fitted to lake care of It by instruo tlon tn the first principles of banking. In primitive bookkeeping, and In the drawing of wills and their codicils, yis that my husband's wlUT” said a ncwly-madi. widow to the lawyer sitting bcslds her end reading the document. ‘T can't think he would make such a will s» thatl Let me look at It!'* And, taking it. she glanced It over, and tossed It Into the fire, all unaware that she had committed a felony. But whether or not one knows the details of the methods of getting money Into t..e right 1 mds, it Is an Important part cf a wife's virtues to know how to spend the money when once hera Many a woman buys what she wants. If she has the means to do so, without a thought if U be beet or If she could do without It, or If she could get It at a better price elsewhere. But. really, the more openhanded a husband Is, the more it la the wife’s duty to think twice when spending. For. putting aside any question of her equities In the husband's income, the fact remains that It la usually In his power, and la under the province of that law which declares that might makes right; and If he Is open-handed, that circumstance gives her a double obligation to spend It reasonably and wisely. Waste Makes Want Tt Is not a consideration of economy that is Involved, of sparing, of unselfishness, of doing without that another may have; tt Is the exercise of a sufficient degree of care in expenditure and of seeing that nothing be wasted. And undoubtedly where this case becomes a habit, other habits of nice Inspection follow In Its wnke; and In the house of the wise and careful purchaser, where the value of a dollar is known, but not prized above Its value, for all that, there is nothing left at loose ends; the meats are all used up. the fruits are not left to spoil; moth and rust do not corrupt.

This Is what one little woman, a sickly one at that, accomplished In an occupation which was certainly an odd one for a woman to undertake. She runs an express business, and runs It uncommonly well.

AN AMUSING NEW CARD GAME.

NOVEL card frame, which Is coming Into vogue, la called "Sir Hickum." It can be learned In live minutes, even by persons that have little or no knowledge of other card games, and has this advantage over many such games, that It can be played by an odd or even number of persons. The principle of the game consist^ tn treating each auit as a family. The king of diamonds Is called “Sir Hickum," for no reason that anyone has ever been able to discover. This la the only arbitrary name In the game. Naturally. Sir Hlckum's wife, the queen of diamonds, is “Lady Hickum,” The Jack la their son, the ten-spot represents their other grown children, collectively, the nine-spot Is their servant, the three-spot la their parrot, the deuce their twins, and the ace their baby. All other cards besides these are rejected from each suit. The spades are gardeners, the king being the gardener; tha queen Is his wife, etc. The cluba are policemen and the hearts are lovers. The cards are dealt one to each player until they are exhausted. It matters little In the fun If one or two players get fewer cards than others. The game Is played much like the old game of "Authors.” Each player must try to complete the families which are represented In hla hand. He calls for any card which he lacks from any other player, and may keep calling as long as he succeeds In getting cards. When he has eight cards, that Is to say, all ot the members of a family, he has a book. There are, of course, only four books to got. The game Is played until all of these are formed. A lucky or very observant player occasionally cats two books and may be counted the winner. But thla Is not all of “Sir Hickum.'* No player may accept a card without flrst saying "thank you.” If he touches the card handed to him without thus politely ackowledging It. he must hand It back. It la surprising how many well brought up people forget their “thank youa.” in the excitement of trying to get a dismembered family of po Uceraen or gardeners together. To be reminded of one's omission, and to be oCllged to hand back the coveted card Is a little provoking for the player, and a great deal of fun for everyone else. But thera Is still more fun for tha players of "Blr Hickum.” When a player has lost all of hla cards, he becomes a ghost with the privilege of asking any question he pleases of anyone still In tha game. If this person Inadvertently answers he must give up his cards to the ghost and himself enter the land of ahades. where ne remains until he, too, catches a player unawares. When a half dosen lively young people are playtnr and much badinage Is exchanged, the transition from ghostland to the material world takes place with puzzling rapidity. The game Is beat played by observant persons with good memories for the cards that have been called. But It la fun for anyone. A dozen times or more Sir Hickum and his family will travel round the table and the policeman's beat Is usually a long and arduous one.

Elsie de Wolfe Blue Gowns.

Miss Elsie de Wolf is one woman who knows the value of simplicity, and has at her finger points the art to attain it. Pale blue Is a favorite color with her, and none of her gowns la more charming than a certain costume of azure crepe, with Insets of black silk mous-

Window Gardens

^ ~

for Only One Dollar

Postible to Have Flowers Blooming All Winter at

This Small Expense.

Thla Is the month to start In and build a window garden that will give you flowers at Christmas and all the rest of the year. Begin by getting from a grocery store two boxes about a foot square and three Inches deep. These are for your nursery. Two more about a foot and a half long, eight Inches wide and seven deep are necessary. Two small boxes are easier to handle than one threa feet long would be, but they are to stand end to end, so as to appear one,

right across the window.

On account of the weight. It Is better

to get another box, or Boxes, for them to stand on. Instead of trying to put up a shelf, which is more than likely to come tumbling down. The stand box. or boxes, cover with a piece of matting, or burlap, or chlnts. or anything pretty and cheap. The top boxes that hold the plants must have a coat of stain; 5 cents will provide plenty at any paint store. A couple of bracket stands for the sides of the window, 20 cents: two flower pots for them. 10 cents; a hang-

ing pot for the center. 23 cents.

Getting the Earth.

Purloin thla from some nearby vacant lot, or take a car ride Into the country, when you can also obtain a few fern

roots which will be a great help.

The earth Id the house, you must take courage and a good-sized paper bag, go out, waylay the gentleman who brushes the street, and “blarney” him Into filling the bag. Then return home and mix your bag's contents thoroughly with the earth. Fill the boxes, pots and nurseries and keep three quart* In reserve for uae later.
