Well kept hands stay young look- | ing, too. | Learn to use your hands gracefully. | This means to keep them quiet and relaxed. Practice this if your hands are always nervous. A woman's hands should always be attractive: If they are not naturally beautiful, there are a great many things that can be done to them to make them picturesque, or interesting, or to give them character. Hands need never be ugly or unattractive. These days, for instance, sleeves can be worn very loose, hanging cver the wrist, held thereto by a tiny, tight, narrow band. The gathered looseness above will make large hands seem smaller than they are, and will disguise many ugly features. These sleevis are also worn very long, so the looseness can hang well down over the hands. ‘This is one of the very newest styles newer than the very tight sleeves we have been wearing. Also, we are now wearing large cuffs. Definitely rounded, fitted, large size cuffs are appearing on many of the new dresses; these are miraculous for reducing the size of hands. I've seen the most amusing collar and cufl sets, made of straight pieces of fine muslin, edged with real lace, and made to fit neck and wrists by tucks, either the usual sort, or inverted, which shapes the material. These are on light Sum- | mer weight. woolen or plain color linen dresses. These would make the hands look smaller.

August 5, 1864.—Ceorge OCoburn, who was taken prisoner by the Con- federates at his residence, mear Mr. Blair's farm, in Montgomery County, Md., and waa reported to have been shot by his captors, made his escape from the Confederates at Martinsburg and has returned to his home, it was learned here today. Mr. Coburn says that the Confederates compelled him to act as a guide while they were in Maryland. When they arrived at Rockville on their recent retreat from the defenses of Washington, Mr. Coburn says, the Confederates placed him in irons and eventually carried him to Strasburg, Va, where he was informed by the Confederate gerrral, Brad Johnson, that if he did not join the Confed- erate Army he would not be given anything to eat. After holding out as long as he could, he says he found himself grow- ing weak for want of something to eat and finally enlisted in the Confederate service, intending to escape at the first opportunity that presented itself. His opportunity came during the battie at Martinsburg between Hunter and the Confederates. He says the Con- federates lost heavily in this engage- ment when their own troops fired into each other by mistake. 8o great was the confusion, Coburn says, that a six-pound shot fired by one of the Confederate batteries killed the horse he_was riding before his escape. Yesterday was celebrated as a day of humiliation and prayer for the suc- cess of the Union armies, by order of President Lincoln. There was a gen- eral cessation of business here and in other parts of the country, and services were held in the churches. One of the features of the day was a big demonstration by the colored Sunday schools of Washington. For this purpose, President Lincoln granted the use of the grounds between the Executive Mansion and the War De- partment. The colored people assem- bled there in large numbers, and after religious scrvices enjoyed t't>mselves eating wa‘ermelons and partaking of other r~freshments. Thev showed their appreciation of the President’'s emancipation procla- mation by displaying a banner, which they called “The Banner of Freedom,” on which was a life-size picture of President Lincoln freeing the slaves.

H!? are 10 rules for wives who wish to keep their husbands in love with them: . Be pleasant. Be easy to get along with. A man all the fighting he desires in the outside world and when }fe comes home he":nnu it wnb.e lnp‘hu of peace and rest, and to find a wife who is sweet and amiable, not one who has a chip on her shoulder and is just waiting to start something. Good nature will do more toward holding a husband's affections than keeping a boyish figure or having your face lifted. No woman need count her calories who counts her words and only says to her husband the things that are soothing for him to hear and who takes as much trouble to propitiate him as she would some strange man on whom she was trying to make an impression. In vain do the flurpen flap and the sirens wnvebtlheu spells before the married man whose wife is always plasant and agreeable, a Be careful. Nail on your face the smile that won't come off. sense of humor. Dev:lgf a funny bone, for Heaven knows every wife needs worse than she does anything else on earth. There are about's million things in married life over which a woman must either laugh or cry, and the one who laughs wins out. cummfin: Before marriage your sweetheart will invite you to weep on his shoulder. After marriage when you cry your husband will tell you not to be a fool. Take his tip. Don't be a fool. When things go wrong, when your castle of dreams tumbles down around your ears and you find out that your god not only h feet of clay but is mosily made of mud, don't shed a tear over your disappoint- ment. Laugh it off, and make the best of what you have, Don’t burden your husband with all of your little worries. Keep them to yourself. Don't tell him your troubles. He has plenty of his own. Don't sit down and whine and complain and lament because you have to do your own housework and the children are troublesome, and you can't have everything that Mrs, Croesus has, ‘That line of talk takes the last bit of eourage out‘r( & man and breaks down his morale completely. There isn't a man in the world who wouldn't rather face a firing squad than a tear-soaked, melancholy, pessimisitc wife who makes him feel that he did her a deadly wrong by marrying her, . .. KEEP yourself looking attractive. While you were trying to catch your hus- band you dolled yourself up to the limit. Nothing would have induced you to appear before him without having put on your best complexion and your prettiest frock and your spiffiest slippers and having made yourself look as dainty and fresh as possible. Well you know that he never would have fallen for a sloppy creature in a solled dress, with down-at-the-heel shoes on her feet, with frowsy hair, and who looked as if she needed a trip to the laundry. Be even more particular about your personal appearance after you are mar- ried than you were before. . Don't forget that your man goes from you every morning to work side by side with business girls who are spick-and-span and trig and trim and rouged and lipsticked and curled and manicured. Sell yourself continually to your husband. Don't make the mistake of thinking that because you have done it once, and have marched him off to the altar, you have him for keeps. The fact that a man thinks you are beautiful and wonderful and the only woman in the world today is no sign that he is going to think that way tomorrow. It isn't enough to hypnotize him once. You have to do it over again every morning. There is no place where a wife can throw away her conjure bag and sit down and rest and take it easy. If you want to be loved you must keep yourself lovable. If you want to be desired you must be desirable. If you want to keep your husband eating out of your hand you must feed him on angel's food. There is no affection that will stand nagging and fretting and temper and petty tyranny, and no woman ever makes a greater mistake than when she thinks that she can hold her husband by cords of duty. Every wife determines the attitude her husband takes toward her and it is up to her whether he keeps patting himself on the back for his judgment and taste in having picked her out for a wife, or whether he feels that he was stung. So put your best foot forth before Friend Husband. Discreetly blow your own trumpet. Call his attention to your virtues and soft-pedal your faults.” Proudly display your perfect pie and chuck the one that fell flat in the garbage can and put on the lid. Most of the men who boast of their wives are merely repeating the domestic propaganda the wives have put forth. ° Bl: on your job. Make your husband a comfortable home. Feed him well. Be thrifty and economical. That is your end of the matrimonial partner- ship just as mueh as making a living is his. No man wants to come home to & dirty and disorderly house where the beds are unmade and the floors unswept. No man can respect a woman who is too lazy and shiftless to prepare good food for her family. No man can iong love a woman who wastes his money and keeps him in debt. Not many men ever forsake a wife who is a crackerjack cook. ‘To hold down a job in the business world you have to be on your tiptoes all the time. You have to keep up with the newest wrinkle. You have to watch out for what your rivals are doing and be able to meet competition. You have to. scent danger in the before you really see it. And that is the way it is with the wife-job. You have t obe as attractive as other women. You have to be as interesting, with as keen a line, You have to hand out a superior line of jolly. You have to be always on your job if you want to hold your husband. It is the wives who are asleep at the switch who DOROTHY DIX. lost out, (Copyrisht. 1920.)

She is not wholly aware of the fact, or if she is, she is going ahead with a gotal disregard for the happiness of two people. Her daughter’s husband is a young man in moderate circumstances, with his future definitely ahead of him. He and his wife are quite in love with one another, ‘The mother is constantly giving her daughter money for clothes, for un- specified spending purposes and often her weekly benefactions exceed the al- lowance accorded the young woman by her husband. Meanwhile the young man works hard, denies himself many things and he finds his wife always with more funds than he. The cynical will say, if the mother- in-law is so disposed, why object?

Her husband, discouraged the start by the competition of his mother- in-law, although it may be as easily the father-in-law, may have progressed lit- tle over the course of years.
