If you are look- IW|W

more valuable to ELLA WHEELER WILCOX,

quaintance with languages; and if

English has many more desirable
i hances for gaining a good salary
than one who knows only English.
Therefore, I would advise you to
apply yourself to your Latin earnest
ly; and then it will be less of a labor
to acquire the French, Spanish. Ital
ian and German—one or all of them.
But unless you mean Lo study some
language I see no benefit in your giv
ing time to Latin.
Be thorough in English and study
its niceties.
Do not be stilted or pedantic, but
no matter what sort of slang and
toarseness your associates may in
dulge in and think it “smart,” in the
American way of applying that word,
•void all loose and sloppy language,
ns you would avoid soiled clothing.
The rarity of good English (or good
American) among our high school
and college graduates is shocking and
h militating to one who takes pride
h being an American.
The rarity of well placed voices is
equally shocking and ear-bruising.
An important part of your educa
tion should be in learning how to
use your vocal Organs in speaking.
of being common
in your looks or
actions. Then
avoid the com
monest qualities
possible in a hu
man being—jeal
ousies and gos
sip.
Teach yourself
to praise freely
and criticise rare
ly; and when you
have a criticism
to make, make it
only to one whom
you feel can be
helped by your
words to over
come a. fauit
—never behind
the back of the
offender.
Learn to sympa
thize with your
schoolmates i n
their trials, but
also learn what is
harder still: to
rejoice with them
when they sur
pass you in any achievements, or win
any prizes for which you may be
seeking.
Root out envy and jealousy from
your nature, and know ip so doing
you will make yourself more lovable
and more admired than by attaining
the highest school honors.
Character building is a greater
work than brain building.
Be ready to share your best friends
with others, and do not be one of
those exacting and unreasonable
girls who wants no one to love or
be loved by her friends but herself.
In every community and school
such types are common, and it always
savors of pettiness and lack of broad
and noble qualities. Just as each
flower .n the garden has its place,
so each friend and acquaintance has
a place; and no one should crowd
another.
Be helpful wherever you can, and
be appreciative of the hard work
your teachers have done and are do
ing to til! their positions. Teaching
is one of the most trying and nerve
taxing occupations, and if you show
consideration, affection and courtesy
to your teachers it helps to lessen
their troubles and gives zest to their
labors.
Even as a pupil, remember, you
have something to give as well as
something to receive.
GOOD many husbands labor un
der the idea, that if they give
their wives a good horrid* and
arc generous in money matters they
arc doing all that should be expected
of them.
• “Woman’s place,” a man argues*, “is
at home. She should be quite happy
attending to her house and children;
they should fill her life. As for me- 1
am a man of affairs-—it is necessary
that 1 see life from all side?.”
He expects his wife to be perfectly
content in the narrow coniines of the
home circle. If she grows dull'and
unattractive he finds re.crcajiort in tin*
society of some other woman.
Too much of anv one thing is bad
| for everybody, and too much"home and
i babies is bad for even the most' do-
; mestie of women.
1 It is very easy for. a. wo map to g«-t
it into her head that the bolide and
children can not possibly get on with
out her even for a day.
The Difference.
Her husband, who should Im the ntu
to get her out of her rut, is too much
absorbed by business, politics or out
side pleasures to notice what a dull
routine her life is.
He is vaguely aware that he is not
ah attractive as she used to he, but as
long as his meals or. good- and lie «.-■
comfortable he does not much care.
He loves her, of course, but in a
very prosaic, take-it-for-granted sort
of w*y,\ He would miss his eom'o.c:
more than her companionship if she
went out of his life.
Sometimes he wishes discontentedly
that she would be as gay and viva
cious as young Mrs So arid So. whon.
he met the other day. He does nut
realize that she is swamped witn
household cares and a growing family
It is absolutely necessary that the
mother of a family should have relax
ation. The father has* his business,
with its varied interests and excite
ments. He probably belongs to a club
of some kind; he has plenty to keep
I his mind alert and interested.
But the mother sometimes for.days
! does not get away from the house and
| children. Her husband comes home,
reads his- paper and goes to bed. H<t
1 life goes on day in and day out in the
I same old grind.
What She Likes.
Row tired she gets of eating and h
! many cases cooking the dinners she
• orders day after day. How she would
enjoy out to dinner once a week,
dressed in her prettiest clothes and
dining with a husband who paid, ii r
| the little attentions he u.-ed to in tin
j courting days!
The relief of getting away from t'm
house and even the beloved babies for
a while would be great.

breakfast finished and go to skule. If
you ast me another question about base
ball I am going to use the pam of my
hand for a bat. Pa sed, and preetend
that you are a baseball yureself.
So I finished my breakfast & on the
yyay to the skule hous I bought a pa
per. I thot that if I got to skule
erly, I cud git the prin-eipie to read me
something about how the players was
fitting along at the begipning of the
seeson.
The prin ciple was thare wen I got
(hare & i gaiv him the paper and ast
him if he would plees reed me some
news on the spoarting page. What do
you want me to reed the spoarting
page for, the prin-ciple ast me. I want
to know if Brady's wing is alHght, I
toald him. Brady’s what? said the prin-
Ci-ple. His wing, I sed. his whip. 1 mean
his arm I am sure I am not in-ter-
ested in the person you speek of, sed the
prin-ciple. and beesides I think it would
look a lot better for a liddel boy like
you to come to skule with his slqule
books under his arm than to walk in
heer and show me a vul-gar spoarting
page.
Thare was newer a grai.t man, the
prin-ciple sed. that started erly in life
reading spoarting pages. Do you sup
poas. he sed to me, that Deorg’e Wash
ington would walk 1- miles to buy a
newspaper with a spoarting paig in it?
Xu he sed, wen he walked 12 miles for
sumthing to read, it was always a law
book or the work of some grate mas
ter that he brought home with him.
I im sur-prised anti dis-sapoint-ed in
vnu Bobbie, he sed. give me that paper
and' go to vour seat. Study yure jog-
raphv lesson, he sed, so you wont tell
aggen to-dav the way you did yesterday

“What puzzles me.” said Uncle
Snooks* as he looked up from a book
he was consulting, “is this: if a man is
standing on the side of a hill or moun-
iain. how, is he to settle in his mind
whether it is on an acclivity or decliv
ity? According to my dictionary here,
the former is a ‘slope up.’ and the lat
ter ‘a slope down.’ I've never yet seen
a slope up that didn’t slope down.”
“Yes, ma'am.” said Harry, the out-o’-
work man. “I know I look like a strong
man. hut out of my fifty years op life
I've spent more than sixteen years in
bed.”
“Why, you poor man!” replied the
lady, sympathetically, handing him a
copper. “What has been the trouble-

“No. ma’am.” said Harry, "jest a
reg'lar habit of Sieepin’ eight hours a
day, ma'am.”

The story is told that when M. Poin

“Surely,” objected .Beatrice, “you do
not mean, to intimate that 1 tried to

you pay attention to , me!”
“On the contrary,” declared Robert
Maynard, "the fact that at times you
seemed Lo avoid me, piqued and irritated
me. . You know men always-want that
which is 'beyond their reach. So I

“By admiring me, yoh mean?” queried
liis companion. “You are hardly com
plimentary.” /
She smiled as she spoke, but there
was a hint of acerbity in her tone, and
the man was conscious of it.
~ “Ah,” he’begged, “dear Mrs. Minor,
don’t misunderstand me! And please
hear ine out! I want to make a clean
breast of the matter.
“I thought myself, in loVe with you.
I was lonely, and when you discouraged
my attentions I was angry. .Then J met
Miss Damerel ffequeptly. You know’
how lovely she is. . ] asked her to mar
ry me. She accepted me.
“Then she went away to the country
and I was left without the charm of
her presence, affd suddenly I found my
self earing a great deal about you. I
saw that you were tired of me. that you
doubted me, that you disapproved of me.,
And one day wiien' I was unhappy I
took more liquor than I should have
taken—and I called on you and said
many things for which I now apolqgize.
Will you pardon me?”
Beatrice thought quickly, but there’
was no perceptible pause before she re
plied: “Certainly, 1 pardon you. And
I am more than . willing to. fojrgqt it.
Moreover, I consider that the matter
now is none of my business.”
“Because I am engaged to be married,'
you mean?” he asked. “Well, let me
explain that 1 found,' when I went to
the mountains where’Miss Damerel \vas
staying, that, after all, she was the* une

heartily ashamed of my behavior while

You did not tell her that, did you?”
asked Beatrioe abruptly.
“Oh, no. indeed!” Maynard replied, “I
told her it would be best to wait until
1 could learn from Mrs. Robbins where
•you were. So 1 wrote and asked her.”
“We came into town last week,” said
Beatrice, to fill in the sudden pause that
followed his speech. Please accept my
hearty -congratulations on your happi
ness.”
She had stopped thinking of this man
and hijs affairs, and was wishing she
dared ask him about his brother. Rut
she was afraid to trust her voice. As
if in reply to her thought Robert May
nard spoke suddenly.
“Paul’s Wife Is Dead.’’
“I was shocked to hear of your mis
fortune by fire, and of the accident to
poor Paul.” he said, heedless of the ex
pression of pain that swept across his
listener’s face. He was one of the men
who like to impart news, and he had
come to tell. “It was strange that this
accident should have happened to my
brother just when it did. For on that
very morning he had received the news
that his wife w ? as dead.”
“Dead!” ejaculated Beatrice. “His
wife?”
“Yes—I thought you probably had not
heard of It. She led him a dance all
Vight, neglecting his only child when it
was a tiny baby, so that it died at less
than a year of age. That woman made
an inferno of his home w'hen she was in
it, and stayed away from it as much as
she could.
“At last she ran away, without the
shadow of an excuse. Poor old Paul
waited until he was certain that there
was no chance of ever having her before
he got a dviorce from her. And in less
than a fortnight after he got his divorce
in fact, .just when he had completed
the entire business—she dropped dead
of heart disease out West somewhere.
So - a merciful Providence freed him at
last. Poor old chap! I hope he will
have some happiness yet in his life be
fore lie dies!"
Beatrice tried to $peak, but her tongue
failed to do her bidding. Her hands
and feet were like ice. The room
seemed to swim before her eyes. The
sound of the children’s footsteps in the
hall roused her from her stunned con
dition, but, before she could speak, Rob
ert Maynard arose hastily.
“I must go!” he exclaimed. “I left a
taxi waiting down below for me. Good
day. Mrs. Minor! And thank you! And
pleqse come to the wedding!"
He shook her hand quickly, and. be
fore she could find words iq which to
ask the question that trembled on her
lips, lie was gone.

11 of a family start out
her, it is one of three oa-
casions that ealls them: A
family reunion, a visit to the photog
rapher for the purpose of perpetrat
ing a family group, or a funeral.
It was the second of these occasions
that was causing Lysander John Ap
pleton to walk up and down impa
tiently waiting for his wife an*i
daughter to get ready. At last they
appeared, and the sight of his daugh
ter caused his wrath, which had long
been smoldering, to burst into flame.
She wore low shoes and silk stock
ings, though the day was cold. Her
akirt was so tight she walked gin
gerly-, and her hair was so combed
that only enough of her face showed
to prove she was not afraid to fool
with her complexion.
Hi r la “to hat was adorned with a
long feather, and the skin of an ani
mal which she wore as a fur was so
draped as to show her bare chest.
“X11\v, vvlmt makes you rig yourself
out lik- that?” he thundered. “If you
want to look decent, why don’t you
a« y.iur mother dressed when
she was a girl?”
lb scidi il louder and longer, elab
orating and emphasizing, and de-
nouncing the horrors of modern dress,
no absorbed in his eloquence he flid
not notice that his daughter had left
the room.
He was still,.cl;iwing the air ftnH
storming, after the manner of the
male worm when it thinks it is turn
ing at last, when his daughter, Re
turned. *■/*-'!
On h< r head she wore a poke bon
net of such depth that her face looked
as if at the next turn of the sub
way Her hair waa plastered
straight, with a circle of bow-catcher
curls that suggested a snake charm»r.
| Her sleeves were large and volu
minous, and her very full
swayed just enough over immertaio
hoops to show that her feet wereriOlaR
in heavy, cumbersome arctics. e
But it was her waist that was most
appalling*; so squeezed, so smaU*4hat
had she swallowed an apple it wauLl
have showed up like a big buttern ut
her belt.
”1 am ready.” she said, giving a
curtsey that displayed laee-trhnfm*‘d
j’.-int •; let tes that r* •*ched her ankles.
- > on iaink,” roared her father,
till I would be seen on the struct
nil you looking like THAT?”* -
“I am dressed,” said his daughter,
making another curtsey, “as mother
dressed ' hen she was a girl.”
M Ly.-audcr John threw himself odt
11 of th< room. Reaching his den, 'he
shut the door with a crash.
There was no family group fKtrfie-
