Marry her if you must; but say good-by to your club and put your pipe away in the bottom chiffonier drawer. You will have an ac- count in the bank inside of a year, but you will still be wearing your last spring’s trousers and your old shoes with & new ovatch in them. She will make you a beautiful cup of coffee in ihe morning and send you to business marrying you th just 10 cents car fare and a lunch n your pocket. She will know alil pinions and most of your senti- you have uttered them; out your acquaintances, your pastimes and choose your before she will pick select reading matter for you.

Your household will be be tifully ordered, but you will do none of the ordering. In short, if you want a prop instead of a pillow, a better half d of a weaker half, a commander instead of a lieutenant, pick out the girl with a firm chin above her collar line, and blame no- body but yourself. You will go through life like a novice taking a spin in an utomobile beside an expert chauffeur. From the day that you walk to the al- tar until the day that you march to the divorce court, or are driven to the graveyard, you will mever get your hand on the lever. There is a type of woman who has no chin at all. The lower part of her merely a gentle slope with a to the throat. Her sweetheart gaze at her fondly for seven might evenings out of the weex without ever being made aware of the presence of her chin; and yet, that gentle slope is a most wonderful index to her charac- It is the keynote to a penny novel full of sentiment. It is the sentimental chin. The man who marries the girl with chin at all will never be able to whether he is glad or sorry that he did it. In the morning when he is gulping down a cup of cold and sloppy coffee and trymg to find his hat under a mass of newspapers, books and umbrellas in the hall, he will softly curse fate that he ever saw the woman seated opposite him in all the glory ter. decide of curl papers and a soiled satin kim- ona. But in the evening when he home tired and qusty from the to be met with a kiss and a song on a vine-clad piazza, with roses growing all about it, he will wonder why he ever was discontented. On the first of the month, when he finds that there is not enough money in the bank to meet the bills, a deep sympathy for himself will spring up in his heart; but the next evening, when she tells him by the light of the moen that she used the money to help a poor old lady and bought a present for his mother and took a lot of flowers to the hospi- tal, he will kick himself for his own meanness. He will live in a constant atmosphere of Dpoetry, roses, sachet powder, debts, dirt, dust and dreams. He will never be able to find a clean collar, a whole 'sock or a waist- coat with the buttons all on it; but he will always be allowed to smoke his pipe in any room in the house, put his feet on the satin parlor chairs, and go to an Astor ball in his bathrobe, if he chooses. HE SAN FRANCISCO SUNDAY CALL. His money will flow like water down hill, but he will get a good time for it. If he is rich his wife will make him poor in short order, but if he is poor she will not mind it in the least, but will live quite as happily on a little love, a little poetry and bread and tea. If he is young she will inspire him, and if he is old she will rejuvenate him. If he is bad tempered she will keep him cheerful and if he is buoy- ant she will help him make merry. In short, nobody would think of call- ing her “a good wife,” but she makes an ideal “sweetheart,” and that is what most men really want beside them through life. If he had his choice in feminine chins, perhaps every man who is thinking of getting married would in- variably pick out a girl with the Ma- donna chin, that indescribably sweet chin, all curves, no angles and with a deep horizontal cut just beneath the lower lip. Such a girl is as safe an investment as Government bonds. The By ELELEN IROWLAND U Madonna chin speaks for itself. Its attributes do not have to be described. They are all written right out upon the girl's face. Looking at a girl with the Madonna chin a man can see past her into long, quiet, sunny years. The very tilt of her chin seems to spell “home,” the very curve of her throat ‘was made for kisses. In the set of her lips a lover can see a perfectly ordered house. In the turn of her cheek he can read the word “mother.” Looking at that chin he knows that it will never wrinkle petulantly at the refusal of a new bonnet, that it will never grow hard and cruel with angry fits of tem- per,.that it will never quiver weakly in moments of trial, that from the lips above it only kisses and kind words and fairy stories can come. The girl with the Madonna chin is the combination of sweetheart and wife, cook and companion, sentiment and sense—that only one man in a thou- sand ever gets. She is the real goddess of the hearth. —_ Answers to Correspondents e HAIR OF FEVER PATIENTS (Ida). Leading physicians have admitted publicly that the old theory of cutting the haif of fever patients has long since exploded and is now rarely prac- ticed by prominent members of the profession. While every one has more or less knowledge, gained from experi- ence or hearsay, concerning the detri- mental effects of fever upon the hair, comparatively few know how to treat the hair after an illness so that it may be largely retained. Of course, there are cases where it seems almost impossible to prevent great loss of bair, yet, on the other hand, careful and prompt treatment will oftentimes have a most beneficial result and save the patient that distressing ‘recon- struction period” which ensues if the hair is cut off. The direct cause of the loss of hair during fevers is that the unnatural heat parches the second ideal ' -the-Tilt-of -Her-Chin - n Moay -Ye-Know -Whats-Within.. layer of skin, or cellular containing in its cell membrane, the coloring mat- ter which, seen thro h the cuticle, constitutes the color of skin, and the third or lower the cu from which the hat E ; deprived of its natural oil and n risture the hair withers and falls.

HINTS FOR STOUT FOLK (Marie). When a woman is hungry all the time and is constantly increasing in weight, it should be self-evident that she is eating too heavily. Begin at once rigidly e rce self-control if you hope to keep within bounds as to Very healthy persons whose di- stion is perfect undoubtedly feel hun- ger acutely and are inclined to eat more than is wise or needful with the idea in mind that they need it or be- cause it tastes good. Such people lose sight of the fact that a morbid appe- tite for food can be created and in- creased by over-indulgence just as is the case with liquor, and that eventu- ally overburdened nature will exact a penalty in a superabundance of flesh or, it may be, in some serious organic trouble. To eat three heavy meals each day with glasses of milk at night, and then walk a mile daily to reduce flesh is about as effective as feeding a fire with a generous hand and then trying to extinguish the increasing blaze with a puny stream of water. I repeat, self-control is the first requisite in reducing flesh.

It is worth wondering over. VENTILATION' AT NIGHT (3. B L) delicate person finds it almost impossible to admit sufficient air into the chamber at night without catching cold if the window is kept open after retiring. A much better way of ven- tilating the sleeping room, admitting plenty of air without distressing re- sults, is to change the air before re- tiring and then by leaving the window open a few inches it will keep quite pure all night. For an hour or two before retiring have opposite windows open and if possible an equal distance from the top and bottom, and thus permit the fresh air to rush in. The room may seem eald, but the air will prove all the more invigorating to tired nerves. Shut off the heat partially, and, depend upon it, you will feel 50 per cent better the next morning.
