WOMAN’S
WORLD.
There U no subject, perhaps, upon
which more gratuitous advice has been
uttered than upon the best way of con
serving domestic peace and happiness
Volumes, says the New Orleans Picayune,
have been written on the subject, but the
trouble has been that these amiable guides
to married felicity, who c.,f.e with such
authority, were merely theorists. The ex
perienced have frankly sdmltted their In
ability to pilot others through the pltfrills
of married life, so that when we hear a
man telling Juat exactly how he would
manage a shrewish woman, or a woman
laying down the law about how a man
ought to be treated who stays out o'nights,
ws know nt once that we are listening to
the sapient utterances of an old bachelor,
or an old maid, who have never tried put
ting their views Into operation.
"The proof of the pudding." says an old
proverb, "is In the eating." and In the
same way a rule of conduct that has
worked triumphantly and successfully for
fifty-seven yeers Is worthy of Ihe serious
t oiislderstlon of every husband end wife
In Ihe land. Such a one Is furnished by
Chicago man, who lasi week celebrated
the fifty-seventh anniversary of his mar
riage, and who declared that In all that
time he and his wife had lived In perfect
harmony and hnpptness without one spat
or dlsagri cment to msr the placid surface
of their domestic bllst. This happy state
of affairs he attributed to undevlatlugly
following these rules:
"Don’t be obstinate; compromise"
"Make your wife think whatever Is
yours Is hero."
"Upend your money and have a good
time while It lasts."
"When Ihe money Is gone don't regret
It. Think of Ihe happiness It brought
you,'*
"Dot everything be mutual."
"Think your wife Ihe best woman In
Che world, she will think you the best
man "
“ Do Ihe whole, most women will think
that life with a men who would live up
to these rules would be a picnic. "lion'i
be obstinate: compromise." Homebody
In a family Is always hound to give up
and heretofore thnt somebody has almo-t
always been the woman. Nothing on
earth Is more Irritating than a mulish
man. one who sticks to a thing whether
it Is right or wrong, Just because he said
11. How delightful It would i~ *o even
give in to a man who wasn't arbitrary,
anil who was always ready to meet you
half way and compromise. "Make your
wife think wvhatever la yours Is hers."
That would mean the family purse No
haggling over every cent, no going like
a beggar to n man like that for car fore,
and wash money, and every single soli
tary Item of expense. The man who
makes his wife a full partner In his
poekethook has come pretly near to solv
ing the problem of how to be happy,
though married, for two |>eople.
"Upend your money and hove n rood
time while It last- " In reason, of course.
A good wife never desires to be extrava
gant. hut surelv a good many flowers
would blossom along the way of the wo
man whose husband thought to give her
Hi tie- treats, and remembered that because
i woman was married It didn'l make her
like a box of candy, or a good play, one
whit less than when she was a girl and he
used to lake her out. "When the money
Is gone don’t regret Remember the
happiness It brought you." He never
twined his wife on her bad trades, or
threw up to her the bargains she bought
la>e everything be mutual.’' That man
must mean that a man shall share his
wife’s sorrows and Joys as she does his.
Thai he mustn’t dump all hts worries on
the family hearthstone ami then wonder
why she can’t manage her own affairs
without bothering him when she com
plains of the cook "He must think her
the best woman In Mu world." Ah. wise
■ man* In that lies all the law and the
prophets. He mustn't wonder why she
*in t keep house like Mrs Bmlth. and
manage the children like Mrs Rrown. and
liens gay and pretty ss little Mrs Fllrtlv.
If be can only make us think that we are
first and *et tn his heart, then we’ll for
give him nil the rest ami Ihlnk ourselves
blessed among women.
"What a curious thing coincidences
are'" exclaimed a fashionable worn in re
cently. :o a New York Tribune welter.
• They ilo seem nlmoet uncanny some
times. nn If certain conditions In sort
of o-cult way brought about ceristr. re
sults—a kind of mind over matter Influ
ence that Is Inexplicable For Instance,
a very old thing happened to me recently.
Several years ago. after a very large gar
den party at our place, one of *he servants
brought me an odd keeking little hroo'h.
a carved nmcthvwl act In quaint enamel.
The tnlrinaic value of the pin was not
great, but It was exceedingly pretty, and
I knew the- owner would regret the lose
After a week hod elapeed and no Inquiries
bad been mode I advertised Ihe lost orna
ment for several days, and also asked ev
ery one I saw If he or she -ould Identify
It and help me to find the owner. All In
vain, however; no claimant appeared, and
I laid nway the pretty device In my Jewel
box and forgot all nliout 11. except from
time to time when I happened Jo see It
among my things. Several time* l was
tempted to wear II when II would have
matched some costume In color, but a- I
felt I had no right to It. I always refrain
#d from doing so. until one evening not
long ago. when I was going to a .tinner tn
a mauve satin gown. I found I nee led a
pin toltolij some lace In position. "Why
does not madam take this?" suggested my
m.iii handing me the pin from the tray
that Isy up n the dressing table, r eared
•Ith Ihe effect. 1 said lo myself, ’Aft*r all
why not? Ii Is really mine now after all
this time, and I certainly did all 1 could
to And, the owner. Nevertheless. I fell a
vague sense of discomfort In thus appro
priating a treasure trove, which was not
lessened by selng a strange woman who
sal opposite me gaxlng Intently across the
talce at my bodice. I fell Instantly a
sit.mg conviction that something woul-l
turn up about the pin—a feeling that was
confirmed when. Immediately after dinner,
my hostess brought up the stranger whom
she Introduced to me as the Princess of
, a compatriot of onrs. who had married
a Russian, and had returned home for the
llrst time after her marriage.
" ’I am going lo ask a very Impertinent
question. 1 she lagan frankly. ’Would
you mind telling me how you became the
loasessor of lhat pin?’ I could not help
feeling <mlmrraesed under the circum
stances. but answered with equal frank
ness, and explained how l had come l
wear It that evening. w
" ’ll was Intended that I should recover
It.’* said the Princess, solemnly, who 1
irncd afterwards wss a theosopblat ’lt
'(longed lo my mother, and w*i* lost by
t n younger -Diet, who probably wore It
h* 'our fete ctmmprtre.’
This I found afterwards was actually

sensational noveltlea of the aeoaon haa not
yet become a fad here, but la expected
to arrive with the return of the atimmer

novelty la the "aweetheart ring."

"The ‘aweetheart ring' la a hand of
