Dr. Rainsford finds in flat-dwelling and particularly in apartment-hotel life conditions tending to the de- ration of the family. | His experience leads him to belleve that “there are many unhealthy and unnatural elements attending resi- dénee fn small apartments.” He notices that “after fam-| ¢ ‘{Iles have lived for a few years in an apartment-house | ¢ they do not seem to care for a home of thelr own.” The) @ eduction of housekeeping duties to a minimum, “while 2 good thing for the housewife as offering her more | $ j leisure,” is unfavorable to children. | ry The Evening World in noting the increase of leisure | for the housekeeper resulting from the modern ap- pliances of fiat-dwelling has frequently questioned the Gtility of the application made of it : Tt means more time for social duties, more oppor- $unities for the matinee, afternoon tea at hotel restau- fants, @ larger round of the shops and auction rooms @nd more abundant leisure for appearing on Fifth ave- ‘gue or driving in the park. For women of moderate | fortune ft subordinates the domestic to the social rela- St ee by any but ; swealthy. It provides a leisure which to be made must be made diverting and must consist of ocoupations which do not conduce to the sta- Pility of the family ties. * ‘The lot of the children of the fiat-houses 1s not to be envied by youngsters lucky enough to De ‘born in the No playrooms, no attics, no back yards, no to roam through or village ball ground to meet ; @ private stage to carry them to school, a maid to ‘walk with them on the avenue or in the park, hard . it for a playground, a cop to stop them when they to try their eleds. In exchange for youthful precocity and a knowledge city custom they miss much that best makes life worth living for children, including familiar companton- 3 @hip with their parents. Od 94-99 The Man Who Will Choose His Own Wife By Elizabeth H. Westwood I F there ts anything that {(s annoying ‘t is to have a man choose his own . wife. Now what, If you pease, are man whom to marry? A mother’s first duty is to pick out ‘the Girls That Never Would Do and Keep them out of his way—process of eltmination. That marvellous intuition, ‘which judges say supplants the reason- ing power with women, warns her that fa gint hasn't just so much money, doesn't wear the right clothes and know the right people, sie’! never make the . A PIONEER BEER BREWER. ‘The death at Trenton of the pioneer brewer of lager heer in America excites our interest because of his con- _ ‘neetion with the birth of an industry now grown to gl- gantic proportions.

In New York City alone 4.639,682 barrels were cold. In that year the nation 3 drank 1,218,183,252 gallons of malt Hquors of domestic a .yroduction, as against only 3,316,908 gallons of imported. Burns's Willie brewed a peck of malt, but it was as nothing by comparison with that of Haas. ‘Assuming that a nation must have some beverage to drink, history affording no instance of national ab- stinénce, the early introduction into the United States of Nght malt liquors may have had a most important in- fault, He ts more to be pitied than cen- wured. He has at least done his duty. Alas for the disillusion of filtal ddeats. There have been in times past, and there still exists a class of men who in- aist on selecting thelr own wives, who. when all is said and done, will marry to sult themselves, With brutal de- cision, they reject the careful choles made for them, With assertions flavor- ed with scorn, ‘they announce their ability to put through their own matri- monial ventures, With pitiful | H ~~ fiuence on national character as tending to foster tem-| they choose beauty and youth, before ¥ perance in fact if not in name. money; love before good form and However that may be, the growth of the brewing in-| ‘@mily. ‘Dhey hold the — heathentsh, utterly incomprehensible view that a dustry in the half century since the establishment of] an's marriage ds his own affair, and no Haas'’s malt-house in Newark has made a contribution to al wealth of stupendous size.
