She is not one of those Foolish Wives who money on Wicked extravagance, but, on the contrary, she makes every one of my littlé old Iron Men work over- time for her, as she chases the Elusive Bargain to its Lair and cap- tures it. Everything we have got jn Our House was- Marked Down from $1.00 to $0.99, and through her thrift I shall doubtless some day enter the Millionaire Class. tinue; “as a Wife and Mother she would take the Blue Ribbon in any Family Contest. She never con- siders herself when the children and T are Concerned, and the Sacrifices she makes on the Altar of her Home entitle her to rank among the Female Martyrs. 3 “She is also a marvel as a Cook, and the Only Reason that we have Corned Beef and Cabbage for Din- ner thrée times a week is because Simple Food is so much Better for the Digestion. It is True that we have Much Delicatessen Stuff on the Table, but that is ‘because My Wife has Figured it out that such Food can be Bought Ready Cooked Cheap- er than it can‘be Prepared at Home. “Although my Wife is such a Good Manager and so Domestic, she ig not one of those Women who Always Stay in the House, and who Smell of the Kitchen and Sterilized Baby Food, for she finds Time to attend the theatre, go to Bridge Parties nearly every day, and drop in to Tea Dances, She considers that it is her Sacred Duty to do these things so she may bring Fresh Interests home with her to Entertain Me.” Upon hearing These Words all of the other Married Men would be fill- ed with Bitter Regret that they did not get this Paragon, but it made the ‘Women very sore, and at last one of them who had the Courage of her Curiosity went to the Wife and thus addressed - her: “Tell us,” she said to the Woman, “what Charm fi)u have used to Hyp- notize your Husband into always Singing your Praises, while our Hus- bands do nothing but Knock «our “Nor is her magagement her Only Good Quality,” th& Man would con- Faults, for we do not perceive that when it comes to a Display of Do- mestic Virtues that you have any- thing on the balance of us.” “My Recipe,” replied the " Wife, “is a very simple one. 1 merely always Call my Husband’s Attention to my Virtues and keep Silent about my Weaknesses, whereas you tell your Husband about your Mistakes; and put the Soft Pedal on your Achievements. “Thus, when I save Fifty Cents I beat upon the drums to Celebrate it, but. when I get buncoed dut of Five Dollars, I do not Mention it. When I sew a Button on my Hus- band’s ‘Shirt, I tell him how sweet it is of me to do it, and he is filled the Laundry when he Gets Hold of one with no buttons on it. Also I Impress it on his Mind that everys thing that I do I do for His Sake, and this Simple 'Expedient enables me to Always Do as I please. Follow these Rules and you will change your Husband from a Critic into a Claque.” \ Moral: This Fable teaches that a Wife writes her own, Price Tag. Neéed for Truth % By-ANN LISLE. “It must' always be foul to tell what is false, and can pever be safe to sup~ press what is true,” said a gentle, kindly philosopher, Modern society differs-with him, It finds it tactful to suppress the truth and amusing to circulate lies, But as a matter of.fact there is hardly a circumstance in which it is not actually advisable as well as ethi- cal to tell the truth, “Oh—but suppose my best friend has a new dress which is hopelessly unbecoming to her—how can I hurt her by making her miserable over a. frock which she will have to wear?” asks Jane promptly. Well, Jane, if you arg a 'coward you |, may take refuge in silence and puzzle f;onr friend by your lack}ol interest in er appearance. But a lie will never do—it is unfair and unkind and un- just to everyone concerned. It means’ that your friend will go on in ignorance looking unattractive and dowdy, and will continue to pat- ronize a dressmaker who doesn’t trouble to bring out her good points —or that seme braver person than fqn will tell the truth and that your riend will have to question J;her your sincerity or your good taste, . The frock can probably.be changed if you make your kindly suggestion in time—and there won't be a series like it to make your friend a caricatuire of herself. J The case of the frock is symoblic of every situation in which people whose tact is of a lazy, indifferent sort get themselves out of difficulties But white lie: de into gray and gray to black and the habit and reputation for untruth corfle together to harm your popullritf’ and character and at- titude toward life. ) The gossip who is cmcrhininglhe- cause of her bitter and stimulating wit and the little tales and innuen- does she has at her tongue’s end may be popular for a time with people who like the stimulation of suggested evil. But even if that mflsig is not mali- cious, some day she is bound to start a story in circulation which will do infinite harm and brinF havoc in its wake. There is no measure for truth but absolute truth, and there is no name for a lie but falsity. The habit of honesty is easy to form even in a character which is not basically honest, and so also for fal- sity, One little departure from truth and an honest, straight-forward soul has admitted the wedge of exaggera- tion Or “tactfulness” or whatever we choose to name a deviation from a thigh standard of clear seeing and straight talking.

There was a considerable amount of common sense in the remark of James Russell Lowell that one can make the best use even of the things one has not got. One can make good use of the frying-pan close to one’s hand for cooking with, but if one needs a frying-pan.and it is not there, one can use the imaginary article in a manner that will do much to ensure its coming later. The more you re- alize vividly the luscious steak you would enjoy from that frying-pan the more intensely you won’t be hap- py till you have it, ard that leads to getting it. k) ? “ “Wishes, if indulged in sufficiently intensely, have a remarkable knack of fulfilling themselves,” declared Oliver Wepdell Holmes: “The man in the eastern tale who received from a genie the faculty of having all-his wishes gratified was really not an altogether mythical creature. To wish for a thing strongly is the first step to the realization of the wish.” A friend of mine who was a prison warden had some years since in his charge a man who was continually making attempts to escape. “I've disappointed your friend No. 87 once more, Fortune,” my friend used to exclaim to me“on my visits to him. It had become something of a game between them, “Look ‘at him,” he would say, and I would take a peep at “87” without his knowing it in his cell. He was humming a tume to himself with an expression of the most impressive mnocence on his face, The, jailer who accompanied us when he heard that sound whispered that “When 87 hums like that he's up to something.” In every other respect he was a most amiable' and exemplary individual, They all liked him—he took his dis- appointments so cheerfully and was S0 persevering. § To his huge astonishment one day, just when he was in the middle of a [beautiful six months’ effort to escape, the door of his cell was thrown open .and he was informed he was free. He never succeeded in escaping, but he had made friends who ad- mired that patience of his. Put a man like that on right lines and what could prevent him succeeding? It was resolved\to try the experiment. He gave his word of honor to per- severe in an attempt never to come back, and he kept his word. He i a prosperous business man today. Disappointments well borne com- mand respect. The person who takes disappointments cheerfully cul- tivates, around him or her, a vast feeling of sympathy and desire to help. Make a fuss of it and every-_ body leaves you to yourself to make the most of it. Bear it cheerfully and everybody is stirred to mitigate it. “Poor John is so disappointed,” sighed a little wife to me the other day, “but he never says a word.” If you think John could ever have said anything that would have aroused her to greater anxiety to help and console him in that disap- pointment you are mistaken. ieave people who pity themselves to make a good job of it by themselves. Disappointments are the small ad- versities of everyday life, and adver- sity well borne is one of the greatest securers of love and admiration ever yet discovered. So it comes that dis- appointments are really golden op- portunities, Think qf that when the next disappointm&: comes along.
