BAB'S LETTER.

j??' (Published, 1806. by the Bok Syndicate Press, Nc few York.]

NEW YORK, March 28,1896,

She was a very nice woman. And when 1 read the dainty little letter I felt myself growing taller and it seemed as if my head •was growing just a bit bigger. Still it was rather a pleasant feeling. But what she asked was a question easily answered, *'Are there any bad husbands." I began to think of the different ones. And first of all there came before me the sullen man. He's the one who comes home at night with a growl, and wakens in the morning with a complaint. Neither of these are loudly spoken, but he mutters them with his teeth half closed, and his wife wishes she knew how to make "dear Charley" perfectly satisfied. But dear Charley is the sort of man who will not be happy either in heaven or the other place. At the breakfast table the children have been taught not to speak for fear they will irritate their father and at the dinner table they don't appear at all, not even when the other sweets come on, for if it is possible he is a little bit more sullen and a little bit more hangdog looking than he was at breakfast, He's been forced to associate with men all day and, of course, there is always the chance of a man kicking him if he tries any of his nasty business with him, but with the little woman at home whom he has promised to love and protect he feels at ease and finds no fault with himself when he bnllies, in his horrid sullen way, the creature that is bigger and better in every iyay than himself. She can never get an Opinion from him. A sullen look, words that are muttered, and a "grumpy" manner being his everyday conduct in his home, Which of Dante's hells do you think he will be found in when Gabriel's trumpet sounds?

THE FAULT-FINDING SPOUSE. Next came to my mind the fault-finding man. The man who is never suited the man who, if you offer him mutton on Tuesday night, wonders why it wasn't served on Friday, and, if you happen to have it on Friday, is surprised that you didn't remember the cook and serve fish. He isn't satisfied with your gown, and he sends you off into a shower of tears by reminding you of what he thought you would be when he made love to you. He forgets how he has changed—he forgets that there is no possibility of suiting him. If you are lively, he makes the cheerful remark that all women are gossips and never stop talking. If you are quiet, he wonders what you are sulking about, and if you try the happy medium of mixing chatter and stillness, he asks where you got your wisdom from when you talk, and he inquires what you are complaining about to yourself when you keep quiet. He finds fault with the cook, and you discharge her then he is surprised that you were such a fool, with a very expressive adjective before it, as to get rid of a woman who knew the difference between grouse and pork, and who could boil water well. He interferes with your management of the children, and the result is that they are impertinent and can never be called good but this, of course, he considers your fault. I think with pleasure of the fault-finding man's hereafter. He will be married, if there is such a thing as marriage in hell, to a New Woman, who will treat him as he did his wife, and then he will know the rather doubtful pleasure of continual mental and physical pin-pricks.

Usually the fault-finding man combines another vice with his chief one, and that vice is the abomination of desolation— stinginess. He is not at all inclined to be stingy with himself, but he wants to know what becomes of every cent which is spent by his wife. The fact that she is his wife and has an absolute right to a certain part of his income never seems to dawn on him, and nothing gives him greater pleasure than to discuss with two or three of his cronies the extravagance of the woman who bears his name. If she looks shabby he blames not himself, but her. He doesn't know and doesn't care how the little bit of money which he gives her is so Well managed that

JIK A I.WAYS HAS A CFOOT BREAKFAST and a good dinner, while she and the children have a starvation luncheon. If he happens to take her out he scoffs at her quiet black frock, never dreaming that it has gone through all the economical possibilities that only come when a woman hasn't much money and must freshen her old frock. The five cents' worth of soap fyvrk to wash it, the assistance of a little dressmaker whose value lies in her cheapness, the careful arrangement of the ribbon bows here and a trimming there, concealing a bad place are, to you and me, pitiful, but to the stingy man it is all no more than his wife ought to do. He is as stingy with his love ami his pleasant words as he is with his money, and, although, before he was married, he used to make most anient vows of love, love that was to last till death and after, he doesn't think it necessary, nowadays, to even express his approbation of the way the woman he has married tries to cater to his wishes.

He is apt, in addition, to be suspicious, Stinginess and suspiciou are close kin and usually go hand in hand. He questions the children as to their mother having seen anybody during the day he manages to drop into the kitchen, and, by being pleasant to the cook, gets her to admit that Mrs, Dash might have been more economical if she tried. He knows some jolly good fellows, and is forced to think that,, when their wives call upon his wife, they must discuss him and compare him to them to his disadvantage. He forgets entirely that he is married to a woman—and when one says a woman, one usually means a something that has all the faithfulness of a dog, without his occasional lapse into a bad temper, and. as a natural sequence, a bite. If the mother of his wife visits her, he is never quite sure that the days would pass by so quickly unless his vices were under discussion and if his own mother happens to be to the fore, he feels sure that she tells his wife what he used to be. and that they both sigh over what he is now. Oddly enough, in his heart of hearts, is a positive can tempt for himself, for he knows that he is a cad. One or two thrashings a week might, perhaps, make a man of him but I doubt it. When fault-finding ami suspicion control the heart of a man. he is about as near degradation as any human being can be What do you think will he his Hell* I have an idea that he will get that fifth one, when* he will sit in a cake of ice, drink ice water, and haw two or three particularly devilish little demons to find fault with his manner of sitting, or drinking and of living, even in the depths of Dante's fifth canto.

What do you suppose the life of a woman is when she is MARRIKI) TO A DRUXKARD.

Fancy the never being certain of his condition! Fancy never being quite sure in

what condition he will appear! It may be that he will come in merry drunk, and be gay with the children, throw all the money he has to you, and then stumble to bed and go to sleep. Fancy his coming in sulky—it forces you to send the children out of the room quickly, as you explain to them that their father is not quite well and you endure all the mean words he says, and only, when he can no longer faJlr, do you help him off with his^clothes and induce him to lie down, even if he won't go to sleep. And the angels in heaven are looking down on this. I wonder what they think? It is possible that to-morrow morning you may have a bandage over one eye. The children will be so sorry because you got up in the night and struck it against the door. The servants will wink at each' other. At night, when your husband comes home, sober, he will bring you anew gown or a new brooch or some pretty trifle in the way of jewelry— but none of his gifts can fade out that black eye. The chances are that you are a loving and forgiving woman, but how can you keep on loving a man who would strike you whether drunk or sober? That blow is the "something" that begins to make you wonder whether you do really care for him. But he is the father of your children—the ideal of your girlhood—and somehow in your love there comes a great pity, and although strongminded women would blame you, you love him and care for him as you might for one of your children. Your love ceases to be that wonderful one which should exist between husband and wife, but becomes instead maternal in its character and your attitude toward him, this man who promised to take care of you, is that of a mother toward a naughty child.

There are vicious husbands, thoughtless husbands, mean husbands, ill-tempered husbands, but between you and me, my dear little woman, there is no husband quite ad bad as the all-around fool. He never does or says the right thing he never appears to advantage, and no matter how kind of heart you may announce that he is, lookers-on do not hesitate to say that he is wonderfully weak of brain. Personally, I believe the average woman would rather be beaten by a man with some intelligence than adored by a fool, and that is one of the things that makes me glad I am a woman. Even if one is a fool one's self, one does not want to marry a fool, and go on populating the world with fools for ever and for ever.

BAB ARGUES AGAINST DIVORCE. She asked me another question—did this little woman who wrote the charming letter. She said, "Do you believe in divorce?" I wish I knew how to say "No" so loudly that it would reach the ears of each woman who had ever thought of it, and convince them that one of these wonderful new guns was near her, and that she was struck by one of the five hundred shots that they send out every minute. Some times, between two married people things reach such a point that it is wiser for them to separate to live apart and to lead lives that give no scandal. But the divorce— oh, no! Once a woman is divorced from one man and marries another she becomes demoralized and fails to see why she may not continue the divorcing and the remarrying as long as she pleases. She forgets that the day will come when the only bloom on her cheeks is an artificial one when the beautiful hair is false when the eyes have lost their glow, and she is tired of life. What will she think about then? Always of her first love. She remembers that if she had not been so easily irritated about this, so suspicious about that, or so determined about something else, she might still be an honored wife.

It is a beautiful thing, to my way of thinking, to see two people, no longer young, the woman no longer beautiful from that standpoint that demands rosy cheeks, bright eyes and sunny locks, happy with each other. Of course they have had their misunderstandings of course there have been times when it seemed to each as if the other could no longer be endured, but then one of the two remembered the vows they had taken, and yielded, and so all life was made smoother and they grew gradually to understand just what each liked best, what each most enjoyed and, although the big world was around them, it was outside them and love and peace reigned in the little world made by these two. In my friend's little letter she said, "What would you do if the man you loved cared for another woman?" I shall not answer her, but I will let a learned man tell her what he thought. Dr. Johnson said that he would never receive back to his home a daughter whose complaint was that her husband had been unfaithful to her and his reason for this was, that if a husband had been unfaithful it was the wife's own fault, since she had not, succeeded in pleasing him.

I wonder if I have said all there is about bad husbands? I don't like to attack the men. They have always been good and kind to me, and I am forced to judge them by what I see of them. My friend, you may take it as a truth, that two people are required to make a happy home. Many a bad husband has been unconsciously

REFORMED BY HI8 WIFE'S WI8DOM. I don't like to say that women ever need reformation. But there are bad husbands. Else women wouldn't be glad when they went off in the morning and didn't return until night. But so much is in the hand of the woman. Man is the lower animal. To be quite honest, I have never been quite sure whether he was above or below the monkey. So it is the finer, better nature of woman to train him in the way he should go. To train him to be more gentle to be more affectionate more generous and less fault-finding. I don't believe there is any redemption for the sullen or the stingy man. However, it is pleasing to think that he will have a hereafter, and I can imagine that heaven to some women will mean looking down to where their husbands are and reminding them of the past. It would be a rather nasty thing to do still, there would be a certain satisfaction about it. and no woman could be blamed for doiug it who had lived with a man who was all-round horrid. But then there are so many good men. And nice men. And lovable men. And considerate men. And unselfish men. And generous men. And among these there ought to be' a man pleasing to that nice little woman and her neighbor and BAB.

Considers it "a household necessity." Mr. A. J. Whiting, Newton, Kansas, accentuates his opinion thus: "I have used Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup in my family for the last eight years and consider it a household necessity.

CAR PLAYHOUSES.

Tiic Bo|« ud Girls of Westwood, O, Etn JFun In Discarded Horse Cats. The boys and girls of the big village of Westwood, O., which was recently annexed to Cincinnati, enjoy what are undoubtedly the most novel playhouses in the world. These playhouses are nothing more or less than the old castaway horse oaxs, which have been useless since the trolley road has been introduced into Westwood, There are whole oolonies of these abandoned horse conveyances in fact, the baok yards of the village are full of them, and every day their number is increased.

Strangers cannot understand how so many of the cars have got off the track. It seems to them as if there must have been a tidal wave, which washed all the Queen City oars into Westwood and left them stranded high and dry on sand hills and in hollows. When the eleotrio

Still retaining her presenoe of mind, the Brave girl dropped her brother, a lad of 14, to the roof of the house to the south. It was a fall of ten feet, but the boy landed safely, and then the girl braved the fire in her doomed home to seonre a quantity of bedding.

This she threw to her brother, who arranged it on the roof, and then, one by one, she dropped the other children. The infant she took in her arms, and leaped with it in safety to tbe bedding. Next she broke a skylight in the roof to which all had esoaped, and lowering the children through it they all reaohed the street.

The Hat Game.

The "hat" is a simple and lively game. The players are divided, as for olumps, into two opposing parties. They sit in two half circles at the same distance around a hat, which is placed on the floor in the center of them. Two differently colored packs of cards are then given, one to each party, and by then equally dealt out to each player. players try to throw the cards into hat in the center. This is by no easy- The cards have a way of fl over it or around it, in a provoking wa, even when thrown by good players. Th floor is soon littered with failures. Th game is played till both packs are exhausted tben those cards which hav^ tallen into tbe hat are counted, and the tide which has the most of its own color 'a the hat wins the game.

oars took the place of horse cars, the street railway companies asked themselves, "What is to be done with the old cars?" It would cost more to split them np than they would bring for kindling. The problem was solved by a shrewd resident of Westwood. He put one in the baok yard of a neighbor and told the children they might use it for a playhouse. The ohildren were almost "tickled to death.'' The little folks oame for, miles and peered through the piokets of the fence. Then they went home and teased for a street oar and kept on teasing.

That first oar was like the first boys' bioyole in an out of the way town. It created a demand.

There is a miniature parliament at Newnbam, England'swell known woman's college, with a cabinet and prime minister of its own.

The most oxoiting debate of the session was on voluntary schools, when, after a hard fight, the government, by a majority of ten, passed a motion "viewing with disfavor" the action of the educational department in placing voluntary schools under disadvantages oompared with board schools. An intercollegiate debate been arranged with Girton, its sis,college, the motion to be, "That it for sooiety that people should be of being thought peculiar.
