Woman's World Experience of a Woman Who Spoiled Her Husband by Making Him Too Comfortable The Art of the Open Door :: :: :: ::

THE MODERN VOYAGER.
"You may talk about the 'mothering instinct in a wife until ypu are black in tiie face, but you won't impress me," remarked the woman who was twice a widow and hoped to be for a third time a bride. "But I thought" began the young wife. "It isn't what you think, my dear, r.nd it isn't what people tell you either; it's what you learn by sad, sad experience," continued the elder wom
an as she coquettishly readjusted her
long crape veil. "I was full of ideals
and the wisdom of brides when I first
married. I believed that to keep a
man comfortable above all else was
the way to a man's heart and that If he was a failure in life it was his wife's fault, and all that sort of nonsense. And what was the result? I

If they only have the price,
Can have their meals served a 3a carta.

Tha deckhand does not climb a rope;
His job is much more eoft;
He takes the elevator up
When he would go aloft
To toss around for thirty days
No longer is good form.
The modern vessel skips along
Unmindful of a storm.
The sailors do not loudly swear
And drink grog from a can.
They act as docile and polite
As any hired man.
No longer does the hollow oak
Run lightly on its keel.
Today the liner is composed
Of several tons of steel.
At anchor it no longer rides
When ended Is its course.
They run the vessel to a dock
And tie it like a horse.
Hardtack and all that kind of grub
Is very much tabooed,
For those who want to pay the bill
May dine on Broadway food.
An ocean ride is quite as safe
As sitting 'neath a tree.
They've gone and spoiled that's what
they've done The romance of the sea.

minister to his comfort. When I final

charming afternoons I have sDent
have been to the accompaniment of sliced bread and butter and a cup of tea, while some of the most wearisome evenings have been devoted to nine course dinners in elaborate dining rooms. Xo, the spirit is what counts. It is the ready smile, the word of welcome and sympathy, the tea table spread on the shady veranda and the mistress of the hoase ready for her friends, dressed la a crisp mnslin and with her sewing or embroidery in hand. These things are ten times more inviting than formal parlors and formal ways. The woman who understands the real art of hospitality, which is the art of the open door, will never lack for iii ii-A f-iends she wants.
