So prommnent a place has Louisebou- langer now taken in the world of crea- tive dressmaking that when the Loulse- boulanger silhouette is spoken of one is left wondering which of the many interesting silhouettes recently exploited by this house is the one indicated. The sketch today shows one of the most re- cent of her creations. It is interesting to observe that the revived interest in petticoats which came about a year ago was a rather short-lived fad after all, and though many women bought the amusing little | short petticoats, most of gone back to the slips that after all ac lot more convenient and form a more satisfactory foundation for the frock than the petticoat that s a yoke or elastic around the The new slips are rather nicely fitted and adjusted to the figure and for this reason there is quite an advantage in making them vourself.

"His ears were pricked up and set forward. They were ready to catch the faintest sound. His nose was just molst enough t0 catch and hold the scent that any Merry Little Breeze might happen o tickle it with. His eyes were fixed eagerly on the spring- hole.

Blacky the Crow passed over, but he was fiying high. He was going some- where down the Big River to look for With Sammy and Blacky out of the way Reddy felt quite hopeful. Buddenly, over toward the edge of the ice on the farther side of the spring- hole, a brown head popped out of the water. Instantly Reddy became tense and rigid. Then he felt a pang of dis- appointment, That wasn't the head of Jerry Muskrat. No, indeed! It was the head of Billy Mink. Billy dived. A moment later he came up with a fish in his mouth. Then he swam over to the shore and climbed out on the bank Just a few feet away. There he sat and ate the fish, while Reddy’s mouth watered. More than once Reddy was tempted to spring from his hiding place and try to catch Billy Mink. But he didn't. He knew the quickness of Billy Mink. He knew how hopeless it would be for him to try o cateh Billy, and he also knew that with Billy Mink play- ing about there Jerry Muskrat was not likely to appear. (Copyright. 1078.)

IT SEEMS to me that nothing would do more to clarify the matrimonial situ- ation than for us to take marriage out of the realm of visions and dreams and the accident class and regard it for a while from the point of view of being a job We are too much in the way of thinking that whether a marriage turns out well or {ll i just a matter of luck and that we are no more responsible for the result than we are for being struck by lightning or escaping a thunderbolt. We are lkewise prone to consider that because we dress matrimony up in the chif- married as we would not. dare treat any other human being on earth. Now it is all very well to poetize and rhapsodize about the holy estate and | to picture two souls with but a single thought, two hearts that beat as one and | all the rest of it, but when it comes down ‘o brass tacks marriage 15 a job just as much as carpentering, or stenography, or practicing law, or making hats, or doing any other work by which we carn our kread and butter. If women thought of marriage as a job they would prepare themselves for it. No girl would undertake to teach higher mathematics who had never studied the subject or even opened a textbook on it. She wouldn’t think that she could run a complicated machine in a factory without having any previous experience. She spends months and often years in fitting herself to be a trained nurse, or a typist, or a singer, or a dressmaker, but she doesn't spend five minutes fitting herseif to be a wife. She tninks a knowledge of how to run a house, how to buy economically, how to cook and sew and do all the million things that it takes to make a comfortable home will be miraculously vouchsafed her on her wedding .ay and that she doesn’t need to learn anything about them beforehand. So the average girl, who has not thought it worth while to prepare herself for the matrimonial job, tackles it as a blundering amateur, and by the time she has learned to cook a meal that isn't a menace to life and how not to waste her money she has given her husband dyspepsia and shed a barrel of tears, and they have been on the edge of divorce a dozen times. R lT is not too much to say that thousands of marriages that have gone on the rocks could have been saved if only the wife had thought of marriage as a job and had prepared herself for it. If women regarded marriage as a job, they would make a greater effort to succeed in it than they do. They would be mere ambitious to turn out a good Jjob than they are. In reality a woman should be just as much mortified to fail as a wife as he is to fail in business, or as a writer, or an actress, or in any other career she has chosen. But she isn't. You never hear a woman whose husband has grown tired of her and left her blame herself for having failed to hold him. She always blames the man or the other woman. If women thought of marriage as a job, they wouldn't be so bored with domestic life as they are. They would see that making a home and bringing up children was their part in the division of labor in the matrimonial partnership; that it is no more monotonous than the work their husbands do over and over again every day, and that it requires just as much intelligence and just as much thought and study and just as much exercise of good judgment as their hus- band'’s business does. And if women thought of marriage as a job that they might lose if they didn't give satisfaction, there would be many a shrew who would control her temper, many virago who would give her husband the soft side instead of the rough side of her tongue, and many a woman who is a sloppy and sloveniy housekecper who would get busy v:flh. u:e vacuum cleaner and the gas range. l men thought of marriage as a job, they would deal more Justly with their wives in the matter of money. No man expects any other woman in the world, except his wife, to give him the labor of her hands, the devotion of her heart, her inexhaustible loyalty and to get nothing for it except her board and clothes. No man would expect his business partuer to invest as much in the firm as he did and to work as hard for its success and then to have no say-so about the policy of the firm and to get nothing out of it except what he chose to dole out. So if men saw thelr wives' work as a job Instead of a perquisite wives would not have such a hard time getting an allowance out of their husbands, | for even a skinflint would recognize that thc laborer was worthy of her hire. And 1f we recognize marriage as & job we would have a good working | basis on which we could settle the alimony question. That what a woman | got would depend upon whether she had given faithful service or not and how | efficiently she had done her work. It would prevent many a divorce if the | wife had to show her unfon card and prove that she had turned out an expert | job as a wife. But there wouldn't be 50 many women throwing up their jobs as wives if | we regarded matrimony as a lifework that we can make a success of, if we | put ous hearts and our brains and our backs into it, instead of as a romantio | dream that we trust to the fairies to make come true.

Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG, February 8, 1861.—The atigntion of the public recently has been chiefly directed to the peace convention of delegates from the Northern and bor- der slave-holding States, now in ses- sion in Washington, because it is be- lieved that this convention has the power to settle the troubles of the times. Many persons believe that those States which claim to have seceded will sooner or later accept with joy almost any terms that may be agreed upon by the convention, rather than split up the Republic. ieanwhile, however, it was pointed out today by’ friends of the Union that proceedings in Congress during the last iwo or three days have been by no means . unimportant in the same ton. Speeches have been delivered which, according to the Unlonists, are des- tined to have a powerful effect in the “good work” of enabling the Union- loving masses of the rder slave- holding States to perceive that the secesslon movement, to quote from one of the specches, is “neither more nor less than a grand conspiracy, requiring years of effort to bring to a head,” on the part of those engaged in it, and wrought not because of Lincoln’s elec- tion but “to destroy the Unlon for the sake of its destruction and to the end }..1 erecting an artistoeratic oligarchy upon the necks of the people of the South for the personal benefit of the Individual chief conspirators.’” Among the specches that are exe pected to have a great influence on the popular mind in the border States are Postum made with milk.
