My attention was drawn by one glove- maker to a very serious objection, which he admitted would stand greatly in the way of making these monogram gloves very popular among New York women, and thai was the fact that these mono- grams were bound to make the hand look larger than it naturally was. Several samples were shown me, and really I could not consider them anything else "but ugly—for Instance, a glove of suede in the new bluet shade, with a white patch in the middle of the back as large as a 10-cent plece.

I advised the woman to go away from such a man and make a peace- ful home for herself and children. I have no sentiment for a marriage tle which binds quarreling people together in a bond of hatred. It Is wicked and im- moral relationship. Children reared in such homes are worse than orphans. My advice to this woman brought the following violent protest from a man whom one cannot help but suspect may be the woman-hating husband. He says: ‘“‘Before giving this unfortunate woman such ‘damnable’ advice would it not be well to try and find out her husband’s un- usual hate toward woman and company? He is certainly a brute; that is evident in hitting & woman; but the fact of his be- ing a non-drinking man is in his favor. 1 tell you, Mme. Wilcox, & man after his day’s work is entitled to some quletness and respect from wife and children when you consider life in a flat.

After a hard day’s work, as my amiable friend suggests, a man wants his home to be a palace of peace and rest, where he can read his evening paper and relax his mind, undisturbed by the chatter of a lot of gossiping neighbors. I have In mind two or thres women of my acquaintance whose Incessant talk about nothing would - cause any man | obliged to live near ‘them to become a | woman-hater. A woman’s first thought, a!m, ambi- man whose home she lives in. If read this column with more care he would know how constantly I have tried to impress the Idea upon the mind of complaining wives. Over and over I have urged woman whose husbands | were faithless or unkind to study their | own conduct and try and see if they cannot find a cause for the first false note In love's harmony iIn their own failure to keep In tune. 1 caused a flood of furious letters to descend upon me once upon a time by saying in print that almost invariably when a man proved to be a bad husband I had found the first fault - began with the woman. Careless housekeep- ing, personal untidiness, extravagance, disregard of the husband’s tastes and wishes, irritabllity, frivolity and lack of patience are some of the small foxes which spoil the domestic vine. The woman who makes her. husband the first thought of her heart in every way will overcome all these faults if she possesses -them, and she will, eight times out of ten, keep her husband's love if she ever had it. But there are out of the ten cases two ID you think remembering your boyhood or your girlhood and re- calling what you have ‘recently read in magazines, that kite-flylng was simply a youthful amusement on the one hand and a new science on the other? If you did you are very far wrong. Kite-flylng has not yet risen to the dig- nity of a great national dlversion, it is true, nor is it likely to, but the Ilatest phase of it is that soclety has taken it up as a pleasing pastime.

Dubell, J. T. Gilmartin and wife, Miss M. Graham, Miss O. Griffin; Halstead, men whom no woman can keep loyal or kind. These are men who are utterly sel- fish, cross and incorrigible. Such a man, I judge, was the ‘““woman- hater” whose wife I advised to go away and make a decent home for herself and children. Such a man has no right to ruin the life of the children he has caused to exist. He should live alone and have leisure to study himself. silpsi . Chicago has a ‘‘Non-Sentimental Club.” Tt is composed of women who pride them- selves of being free not only of senti- mentalism, but from sentiment also, it | seems. One of .the women, an officer, I believe, married during: the recent Spanish war. Her husband was a “good fellow,” whom | she admired. Of course she would not | think of loving any ‘man in a sentimental manner. The bridegroom was ordered to Cuba the day of the wedding. The wife dld not weep nor ask to follow. She stayed at home and attended to her busi- ness. Of course she s a business woman. After some months her “‘business” called her to Cuba. She violently asserted this fact, lest any one should think 'she wished to go to Cuba in order to be near her husband. Now, of all the silly and obnoxious phases of the ‘‘woman’s movement” this club is the acme. Fortunately, it can only be regarded as a farce, and I doubt if it expects to be taken serfously by any one. But even as a farce it seems to be a failure, It 13 not even funny. The woman with- out sentiment and romance in her nature is as unnatural as a julceless orange. She is a picture without perspective or lights and shadows. She is a book without plat, motive or style. | Sentiment is to woman what perfume s to the flower. A man without sentiment is an unfortu- nate being, a-woman without it is a blem. ish'oh the face 6f nature. TInstead of educating sentiment and ro- mance- out we gehould educate it into people. It is the Keynete to life—to happiness. The best wife, mother, daughter and sister is always a_woman of sentiment. It is only when the thorny briars of duty are made to:blossom with the flow- ers of sentiment that life's hard tasks be- | come endurable. | The best wife is the woman who ideal- | izes her husband, who surrounds him with & halo of romance and sentiment, which In nineteen cases out of twenty causes him to become the very being she imagines him.

The ‘“non-sentimentalists” talk about looking “facts square in the face.” They | forget that it is rude to stare. “Facts’ resent such impoliteness on our part. Why should we go about staring ‘‘facts” out of countenance? We are told they ‘are stubborn things.” It i{s enough to make a fact stubborn to eternally hear that phrase and to have people forever staring in the face. Surround a fact with a little sentiment, place a halo about its head and give it a sweet smile instead of a cold stare and | you will find its stern exterior quite sus- ceptible to change and its “stubbornness” glving way. Sentiment goes hand in hand with love, and the two can regenerate the world. ‘Without them life is not worth the living. —Ella Wheeler Wilcox in.New York Evening World. ——— Mme.
