We are about to establish a branch of our
Newspaper Subscription Agency in every State,
and in some states two branches will be estab
lished. We do this to avoid delay and divide
up our business so that we can handle orders
promptly. Our business has increased so in the
past two years that we are forced to do some
thing to avoid the mass of mail that accumu
lates at our Eastern Office from small agents
throughout the country, and we are confident
that this plan will be more satisfactory to our
agents in your state, and others as well. Write
us for full particulars; also for the catalogues
we furnish our branch offices. Address.

curled about her face in a fringe, while
the roses came and went in the plump
cheeks, powdered here and there by snow
flakes. She didn’t look one bit afflicted or
martyr-like, but, instead, a happy little
wife upon whose brow the shadows of do
mestic clouds quickly rolled away.
“Well,” said she to herself, as she quick
ly scampered over a crossing out of’the
way of a wagon wheel, ‘ perhaps, after all.
I was too cross with Job; only because I
was jealous, perhaps, of his two bachelor
chums and wanted him all to myself. I
guess I will just surprise him by stretching
my dollar a great deal, and spreading's
dainty feast out of its nickels'and dimes.
Close economy, and strict attention to
detail have become a second nature to me,
and I am quite sure 1 can get a good
dinner for a dollar.l ♦ • ma
“First, a four pound chicken will cost me
fifty cents, and of the bones—for I always
cut off the meat before serving—l will
make my soup, which I put over.. the fire
in boiling water, boil and skim, and then
let simmer a half hour; I then stirin a ta
blespoon of flour, wet smoothly,with cold
water, and add to the soup a dash of minced
potatoes, rice, and a quarter of a bunch
of celery—the whole seasoned to taste, and
all ingredients for four people costing just
ten cents. The chicken will be baaed
with a dime’s worth of sweet potatoes, T and
a gravy is made of the liquor of the drip
pan. Next, I will buy seven cents’ worth
of beans ana cook them Spanish-fashion.
which is to mince an onion and green pep
per and fry in a dash of butter, to a light
brown, then pour on a pint of cold boiled
soup-beans; cost for whole, ten cents.
“Now, let me see,” mused Mrs. Job, “I
have just twenty cents left, and I guess
my dessert must come out of that. Dear
me! what shall it be? for Job’s tastes in
the dessert line are quite fastidious.
There—l have it! A plain suet pudding,
which all gentlemen like; and I will run
over the recipe for fear I forget something,
and have to come back. Beat two eggs,
add one pint of milk (I get milk from a
neighbor at four cents a quart) one cup of
chopped suet, a teaspoonful of salt, and
flour—with baking powder—to make a
stiff" batter. Stir in a cupful of dried fruit,
and boil the whole for four hours in a bag,
serving with simple, sweet sauce; cost,
twenty cents.
“Now,’’ exclaimed little Mrs. Job, “I
will have a dinner which will please our
palates and truly strengthen our bodies,”
and away she went, trudging home in the
velvety snow carpet, planning the little
garnishes from her fruit closet in the way
of spiced sweet and sour pickles, jellies
and marmalades. These, with the dainty
hemstitched linen and table setting, and the
cheerful little wife who presided over al),
made the bachelor friends regret for once
from the depths of their hardened hearts,
that they were notin Job’s place. And
Mrs. Job bowed her head in thank?, while
she inwardly said, in the slightly altered
words of the apostle:
“In whatsoever state I am, even though
1 am Job’s wife, I will henceforth be con
tent.”

lam not talking about fashionable din
ners or fashionable calls. I mean the in
formal visits that come to those who live
a home-life.
The table is extended, the linen is per
fect, the silver and glass shine like gems.
There is so much to eat that the visitor
wonders what to do about it. No ordina
ry stomach can take such a mixture with
out rebelling later on, while the hostess
feels hurt if a dish is refused, and regrets
so much that one dish is a failure. She
never forgets it, either, because her heart is
fixed on having perfect dinners—when
there is company.
After dinner the silver is cleaned and
packed away for another like occasion,
while the thousand and one things are re
placed and the usual order restored. This
is as much work as preparing the dinner.
The hostess is busy most of the day,
whether she orders or prepares the meal
and the restoration of things. There is no
use to imagine that visitors do not discover
the changes made, for they do in many
ways. They go home feeling that the vis-

it was a failure, although the dinner was a
great success. •*"
The one thing needful is the society of
the hostess. If her mind is burdened with
anxietv about preparations, she is not in a
condition to give her visitors the greatest
pleasure connected with their visit. I have
some dear friends who are working them
selves to death in this way, and I try never
to be with them at meal time on that ac
count; yet they insist that they like for
friends to dine with them. How can they
like such extra work? There is no socia
bility about it.
I can be formal with people who like
formality, but I confess that T do not seek
their company very much. Perhaps lam
not ceremonious enough. When my
friends visit me for a day or two 1 want
their company. I go to the kitchen and
tell Aunt Cindy to get the best dinner
she can without rushing about and turning
things topsy-turvy, for these people haven’t
come here on purnose to eat; they have
plenty at home. Then I sit with my vis
itors until dinner is almost ready, when I
take a peep at the table and the dinner to
see that nothing serious has happened. If
Aunt Cindy isn’t here, I take her place
myself, although the dinner is not so
bountiful or so good.
The family like dainty things as well as
visitors like them. The silver and china
are as much pleasure to us as to anybody.
When friends come in, these things are on
the table ready for use. There is no clean
ing and packing away after a meal, unless
there is a large dinner party.
When a woman spends her life in try
ing to make an appearance, she loses the
social features, which form one continuous
fountain of pleasure. Young girls some
times drink of this fountain until they are
giddy, while their mothers stay at home
drudging for “company,” and never get a
taste of the crystal sprav. Have you no
ticed how seldom a mother and daughter
go cut calling together?
We live in the suburbs where there is
almost another town to itself. ’ The houses
are not closely packed, and we have a con
siderable walk if we go all around making
calls on foot. There are ten or twelve ex
cellent families living near enough to be
neighborly, and the women are sociable.
Calls at all hours were not convenient for
some of us, so we formed a plan to make
our vis’ting systematical, and yet more
pleasant to all. We agreed to meet at one
house each Wednesday afternoon, taking
the houses in turn according to location,
until we got around a certain circuit, then
to begin at the first again. All of us keep
the appointment regularly unless some
thing prevents. If we miss a meeting we
know where to go on the next Wednesday.
We don’t count visits, and if one fails to
attend it is understood that she could not
get there. No one stays away from her
house on account of it.
We agreed in the beginning that there
should be no tattling or gossip at our so
cial meetirg?. Tne men made a great
joke of the plan, and said that we couldn’t
keep up these meetings long without a
neighborhood row. We have kept them
up for two years, and there has never been
the least offense of any kind. We talk of
books, flowers, all kinds of home work, ex
change ideas, and are careful to give every
new and easy way we have learned of do
ing things.
I know when the day comes to meet at
my house. If it is impossible for me to be
at home, I get my nearest neighbor to ex
change days with me, and notiiy the oth
ers; or I get a near neighbor to come to
my house and act as hostess in my absence.
No one feels offendei, and all goes on as
before. If anything unpleasant is in the
“news budget ” we never mention it at our
meetings. We manage to be togetherone
whole afternoon in each week, and that is
enough, unless one is ill or has some er
rand.
I don’t know how this plan would work
if there were twenty or thirty bad children
taken in every time, or as many poisonous
tongues. We consider the grown up girls
and babies members of our band, and we
have no bad children who attend.
There is no doubt that sociability can be
cultivated, and it is one of the good things
of life, especially to women whose lives are
necessarily much narrower than their hus
bands’. A woman need not live for gor
mandizing and display, simply because
she is confined at home. If sho does, she
isn’t much pleasure to her family, because
she rides that hobby to such a distance that
she makes home unpleasant. The woman
who can always find time to go to a picnic,
or to drive out with her children, without
rushing everyone on the place almost to
death to make up lost time, is the one who
makes home happy and who is sociable
with’her children.
Habit has a great deal to do with it.
After one breaks the habit of staying at
home continuously it becomes a pleasure
to meet people. Then, the rejuvenating
