So it has blasted the rosy dream of the girl who looked forward to “quitting work,” as she naively expressed it, when she got married. Unless she has the luck to get a go-getter, and men are no more in variably gifted with financial genius than they are with tenor voices or the looks of a sheik, the girl who marries now= adays has even more necessity of earning money after the wedding than she did before, and instead of bettering her condition from a financial standpoint, she has made it worse, for she has added to her regular job the additional job of making a home. The fact that the modern wife must be & crutch to her husband instead of his being a staff upon which she can lean is partly due to economic conditions which neither can control and partly to the woman's own fault. ‘When the man of the past was the sole breadwinner of the family, it was satisfied with bread and didn’t demand cake, as it does now. In thoseshalcyon days there were no radios to buy, no gasoline tanks to fill, no movies to attend, no night clubs to go to, none of a million things to spend money on that we have now and without which we consider life cinders, ashes and dust. ‘The main lesson conveyed to women by the Government warning that they ‘economic securi 'd marriage as tion they und selves for it accordingly.

Harris, Representative in Congress from South- ern Maryland, was released from the Old Capitol Prison here by order of President Johnson. He was convicted a few days ago of violating the articles of war against harboring paroled soldiers of Gen. Lee's army and urging them to.return South, thus violating their military oath. He was convicted by a special mili- tary tribunal and sentenced to three years' imprisonment. ‘The evidence also showed that Mr. Harris had re- fused to take the oath of allegiance to the United States. ‘The United States attorney told the court that the President desired the release of the prisoner. It appears that President Johnson has had some new light on this case since the court’s sentence, or that the President 15 following the policy laid down by the late President Lincoln, and is determined to treat the Socuthern people leniently and even ueurdm,‘w the strict letter of the military law, now that the war between the States is over and time is healing the terrible wounds as quickly as possible. Already Mr. Johnson has been criti- cized by the radicals, as they are will- ing to be called, “the black Republic- ans” in Congress, not because they are black, but because they would treat the black men as the equals of the whites. The Eastern troops of Gen. Sher- man's command have been ordered here by the War Department. Their terms have expired and they are to be released before the 1st of October, to be paid off. They will be transported by the Government to their homes. Phis is by order of Secretary of War Stanton. All members of the cabinet were present at the meeting today. Secre- tary of State Seward was among the number, much to the surprise and pleasure of his colleagues.

SIQUIER AND MEGRET SAW CHARLES COLLAPSE UPON THE PARAPET, WITH A DEEP SIGH. That man of iron and steel, Charles XII of Sweden, met a violent death, but a commonplace one, It was not at all in keeping with his spectacular career. He set off in Octpber, 1718, on an ex- pedition - against Norway, hoping to make himself master of the country in six months. It was a mission of ven- gence against a formerly victorious foe. In December, in a land locked in ice and snow, he laid ‘siege to PFredericks- hold. It was so cold that his benumbed soldiers scarcely could break the ground for trenches. They would have mur- mured if they had not witnessed their [king sharing all their hardships. He was as hard as rock. Some of his soldiers died of cold, but he was able to sleep soundly in an open field in the lrllid.skt of Winter, ‘covered only by his cloak. For 18 years he had studied every means of inuring himself to hardship. Now he heard of a woman in Scania, called Johns Dotter, who had lived sev- eral months without any nourishment except water. He decided to try a lit- tle of her program. For five whole days he neither ate nor drank. On the morning of the sixth he rode 2 leagues, and , 8r= riving at the tent of his brother-in-law, the Prince of Hesse, he entered and ate a hurt{ breakfast. Neither his fast nor his full meal affected him in the slightest. At 9 in the evening of December 11 BEAUTY CHATS Always Useful Egg. Out of the many varied uses of the homely and inexpensive egg I shall list three today for the benefit of the beauty seeker. One is for the complexion, particularly for wrinkles and sagging muscles, one i3 to make the scalp healthier, last of all is a method for ‘waving the hair. ‘We might take the hair first. Take two eggs, separate the yolks and the whites. An hour before you intend to shampoo your hair rub the egg yolks on the scalp, parting the hair at fre- quent intervals and rubbing the egg yolk along each parting. Spread it over the scalp with the fingers, and let the whole scalp be well covered. If it goes on the hair as well, so much the better. Indeed, if you have a generous amount of yolk from your two eggs, see that all the hair is coated with it. And let it dry on. Then rinse off with warmish | ishing water, shampoo as usual with liquid castile soap and rinse. This takes dirt, grease and scurf from the scalp, and the sulphur in the yolk acts as a tonic. This makes the hair marvelously glossy when it dries. Now fou have two egg whites left. One is for a face mask, the other you can use for a lotion to wave and set the hair. As a setting lotion take some of the egg white, roughly about half of it, put it in a glass measuring cup. You can tell accurately its amount. Add three to four times that amount of ‘When your hair is partly dry, wit lotion, rub over cream before you powder. smoothes wrinkles and ahfenl ralundforu.

They ran to his aid, but he al- ready was dead. A ball of half a pound had made a hole in his right temple sufficlent to admit three fingers. Though he had died instantly, he in- stlnfid vely had grasped the hilt of his sword. Megret and Siquier looked at him, awestruck, Megret was first to s ., “Come,” he said, “the play is ended; let us go to supper.” 'fige Prince of Hesse took the neces- sary measures to put his wife, Charles’ sister, on the throne.
